markshmily: Interesting... 10 000 Japanese yen = 111.07 U.S. dollars right? Isn't yen pronounced en though? Just thought I'd ask. :P I don't have a webcam so I can't really enter. Oh well. Maybe next time then. Thanks for the lessons.. they are very helpful. :D

japanesepod101: Now that's the spirit! Looking forward to your submission. ^^

japanesepod101: Great!

japanesepod101: Looking forward to it~

japanesepod101: Yeah, it's pronounced "en" in Japanese, but "yen" in English, so both are right. That's about right - the exchange rate is always changing though. Glad you like the lessons! Borrow a camera from a friend to tell us about it? :)

xMichieChan: Could we still enter even though we're not in Japan to recieve yen? o___o

ToLokyo: Of course - paypal accepts all currencies. It'll exchange automatically if you make a payment into another currency.

MissHannahMinx: Will do! Anything to support this rad channel. ^_^

giugnhgbvinierngvb89: THIS SHIT IS EXPENSIVE

crimsonigloo: ha! ^_^

japanesepod101: Thank you! We can't wait to see your video. ^^

skipphead: What's expensive? A free youtube video? Making your own video?

gabdepersia: Thank you for that contest ! It will motivate me a lot :D

SilverGunZoO: relax :) your doing a fine job babe

MangaKami21: What a great contest, I'll be sure to enter! By the way graceoverall, it's better she does that than just standing still like a statue, that would be boring and make it seem like the contest isn't fun or serious. P.S. thank you Japanese pod 101
