Wonderful Japanese Speakers —too heavy on English

The native Japanese speakers' pronunciation and humor made this book really enjoyable and useful —particular kudos to Natsuko-san and a bloke whose name escapes me, whose clear pronunciations and animated voices were a joy to listen to. The vocabulary, phrases, and pronunciation focus were well-chosen, useful, and often entertaining as well.

The narrator, however, was way too present, and used far too much, too-intrusive, English. This frustrated me no end. I wanted to hear the native Japanese speakers whom I so enjoyed and learnt from, but he was omnipresent and so endlessly wordy that it was near impossible to neatly fast-forward over him to get to the useful Japanese parts.

All in all, if you have time or patience to listen to far more English than Japanese, this could be a good book —because it does contain worthwhile, clear, entertaining, Japanese voice recordings.

PDF AND COMPANIONS don't download load

Any additional comments?

I love the energy and the motivation of the narrators especially Peter San, but PDF AND COMPANIONS don't download load. It's so frustrating to be ask to pay again for them and so many glitches with passwords. Kenjogo? Hajamay? Please fix companions and PDF. Hi?
