</div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">well, actually for MOST of the ones I listed I already have a partial</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
translation ready ... so we are talking about some polishing here and</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
there, and some finishing bits, and filling in some gaps ... NOT all 6</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
translations all from scratch ... which woudl indeed be a daunting</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
task!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

</div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hmm, yes probably can ... as I will be spending a bit of time in Japan</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
(maybe even a whole month and a half) between now and October ...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
during the same time I might be able to get the Osaka version ...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
though I have a bit of a problem there as MY Osakan-ben is very</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
middle-aged male (e.g. "I' = watte), and all the peopel i can think of</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
who I know that have a good command of Osaka-ben (as opposed to</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Standard Japanese with hints of Osaka dialect) are younger women...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
and in the past they have on occasion chuckled at my usage... "You</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
talk like my father!"</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

</div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Will put that on my to-do list... the coordinator of the ETHSL&DS</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Yes, that is my impression from much less numerous but very friendly</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
encounters over the years with people from that part of the world ...</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
and also from email communciation with the coordinator of the</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
programme I will be teaching in. ... And after a year and a half of</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
rice and chapatis everyday (an exaggeration! ... though in fact</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Marathas tend to eat BOTH at every meal!) I am ready from some injera</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
