I use a small digital MP3 player to listen to JPod lessons (it's my himitsu dougu in learning Japanese - I learnt that from JPod).
My player also records easily. Is it possible for JPod students to record snatches of Japanese and send them in to JPod101, possibly as the basis of future lessons (I'm not asking for a translation service!)? In particular, I find recorded bus announcements never seem to exactly match what I hear/read in the lessons (there's no English on the bus where I am).
