It's been 3 weeks since I started Lower Intermediate Season 1.
I just noticed I completed only 42% of the whole season.
55 lessons in ONE season -- super!Friday night here. Out of curiosity I hopped into other seasons in different levels,
hoping to know if I can complete JPod101 before Alzheimer finds me.
I surprisingly found something interesting. Throughout all the seasons, conversations in the lessons go like this.
1. Normal speech rate
2. Slow end of normal speech rate
3. Japanese followed by the English translation
In Lower Intermediate S1 when the English translation comes in, the host usually says,
“ 英語が入り（はいり）ます.” (Here’s the English translation)
But when I was in Upper Intermediate S5, I heard teacher Naomi say,
“今度英語のやくといっしょに聞いて見ましょう.”
(Let’s hear the English translation.)
It was when I hopped over to Intermediate Lesson 1, I came up with this question.
Here in level Interm, I seemed to hear 2 different versions of the same sentence.
In Intermediate L2 audio time (7’33”) ”英語を入れ（いれ）ます”
(http://www.japanesepod101.com/2006/02/1 ... mel/#intro)
My question is here in Intermediate L1. I don’t know if I heard Peter san correctly. Did I hear
”つぎ私が英語をいります”（5’33”）?
http://www.japanesepod101.com/2006/02/0 ... ri-suzuki/
Peter san’s soft soft voice kept me company for almost 20 mins
as I really wanted to know if he was saying いりますor いれます.
I often get confused with いる, はいる and sometimes いれる.
Now 3 in 1 go.
But「英語をいります」is just not right, is it? Dear fellow Japanese learners, what did you hear?
(Yeah, right; I appear even here as well 
)
