In the Vocabulary section on the thread Lesson 1 Vocabulary, you have "stupid" as "aho". I always thought "baka" was the word for "stupid" or "idiot". Even searching in my Japanese-English, English-Japanese pocket (not really pocket-sized at all) dictionary and online translators yielded no such word.

Thank you very much for pointing this out to me. In my book it says aho in one part and ahō in another, but I think it should be the latter. According to the book I use, ahō means fool and silly, and baka means fool and stupid.

I believe its just like in English where several words can mean the same thing.

Thank you again for pointing this out and I will update the lesson.
