I dont know if Jpod101 has already gone over all this in their lessons because i can honestly say i haven't listened to them all just yet. But if these forms haven't yet been discussed i think it would be great to know and find out about and be more in depth with the japanese language by knowing and understanding all of these different forms of verb. So this is my Lesson Suggestion! I hope Jpod will consider this Suggestion: i really think it would take people to a new level of understanding, if being taught these 15 different forms of verb conjugation.
Hope to get a reply soon,
