Hello, Cristiane,
I did look at the lesson series you suggested, https://www.japanesepod101.com/lesson-library/learn-with-pictures-and-video/, and it has been useful.
However, the value of the 400 sentence series is that it is perfect for the gym, or other similar activities, where a longer duration is more optimal and the audio controls (repeat and speed) can be used to adjust the lesson pace to get the most out of the exercises when one's focus is not completely on the learning task. (Even under these circumstances, i have found value in the repetition of certain linguistic cadences and grammatical elements, e.g., wo + verb, larger linguistic blocks incorporating 'can' or 'want'). So, i ask once more, Please extend this series!

This is one my favorite series, so I hope you add more lessons! It was extremely useful for learning new vocabulary and some grammar. I also used it to practice my reading/writing by copying the lines each day. This one is definitely going on my ipod to review periodically. 👍
Hi Zenmakyo,
Thank you for your messages.
Regarding more lessons about daily routines in Japanese, we’re constantly adding new lessons to our website, so please stay tuned.👍

(Is my face red?) Ok, forget my last comment. I just discovered 'auto play' on the iOS app. I'm looking forward to using it soon!
Another point: The iOS App controls for repeat and speed are very useful, but it would also help to be able to 'step through' the list of exercises. I download the lessons i find useful and, once i have some familiarity, i like to listen to one segment after another. Is there any way to provide this option in a future update to the app?

Please: More of this type of lesson (though i can see by the date of the earlier comments that you haven't followed this with anything else recently)! It especially helps with 1) building everyday vocabulary and 2) getting the rhythm of Japanese sentence structure through simple but useful phrases. As someone who has limited exposure to Japanese on a daily basis, i found this set of lessons very helpful. Such lessons could also incorporate multiple variations on the same theme. (I found this took me to a new level in studying French in the old Foreign Service tapes.)
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the comment and so sorry we didn't reply earlier.
And sorry again, you are right.
充電する should be "to charge".
"今日 の 1日 を 話します" should be okay, but I prefer "今日1日 の 話 を します" meaning "I talk about my day.". "今日1日" just means "the whole day today".
Keep studying with JapanesePod101.com

こんにちは、
Small correction - I think the translation for 充電する should be 'to charge' rather than just 'battery'.
Other than that, good lesson, very useful. :)
15. 今日の1日を話します - I talk about my day
Could somebody please explain the structure of this one to me? I don't understand where the「の1日」bit comes from.
