MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

A small conversation:

she: Is that your new Japanese textbook? Lets see.
me:  Yes, I just got it from the bookshop.
she: What does that mean: "Daigaku wa eki no mae desu"
me:  Well, that means that the university is in front of the
     railway station...
she: Oh, you really can understand that! Then why do you never
     understand what they are saying in these Japanese TV shows?
me:  Ehem...
