Intro Paragraph:
Josh would like to apologize for the obnoxious introduction, but it was somewhat necessary to get a sense of what genki (???) means. After Josh and Naomi discuss ??? and how it relates to Japanese culture, they continue from the last lesson. After many years of trial and error, Josh finally pronounces Mcdonalds (??????) correctly and shares his secret. After that, Naomi tries to help him create some sentences with the vocabulary from last time. At the end, he recommends for all listeners to pick ten useful nouns to memorize.
