- What are some differences between Japanese Everyday Speech and American Speech?
Is anyone here a Japan native who spent some time in Japan, or an American who has spent some time in Japan? I have this essay to do where we compare things such as 日本の男の人の言葉 and 日本の女の人の言葉 with English men's and women's speech. However, I don't really think there is men's and women's speech here in America, or at least where I live (we all talk the same way). The difference is pretty neutral. I can talk to a female the same way I would talk to one of my male friends and vice versa, and it wouldn't be the least bit weird or offensive.
However, are there any situations you have noticed where you hear things being said differently in America as opposed to Japan? For example, I've heard that when you go to a store in Japan, the cashier doesn't tell you to have a good day when you are leaving the store, but here in America, it's almost second nature to do so. Therefore, a Japanese person shopping here might find it to be a tad bit weird and not know how to respond. Does anyone have any other examples?
October 5, 201400 - 国際フェスティバル 毎週の週末、休みしてみます。二週間前に、ジャーマンタウンの教会で国際フェスティバルに行きました。ジャーマンタウンの教会とても広いそうですね。４つぐらいサッカー競技場を見られました。初めて演芸あとでジャマイカの両親食べてみたかった。毎ブースで食べ物は五ドルだけでした。ジャマイカのブースでカレー鶏肉やご飯を買いました。カレー鶏肉はとても美味しいとおもっていたけど、多い骨があって食べにくかった。バッドスクープをくれました。日本のブースでお握りとお茶があるけど、全然食べ物を買わなかった。私の日本語を練習したかった。女の人に日本語を話してみたら、英語しか話なかった。しかし、日本語であのメンフィス大学の上級生は私に話しました。名前を忘れてしまった。その後でちょっと高いネックレースを買いました。カードで書くの読みなかった漢字がありました。ネックレースの下には日本円があるけどThe chain is too short so I don’t wear it.日本のためにメンフィス剣道クラブも演りした。一年前にの植物園の同じ演芸でした。 ラスベガスからブラジルのベリーダンサー女の人がいました。私達は教会が居たから、それはちょっと変と思っていました。Despite that、あの演技はきびきびでして、子供と男の人が写真を撮っていました。午後三時ぐらいに、中国テーブルに行ったら、中国人女の人にメンフィスでどこに広東語を習う質問を聞きました。でも、I think she misunderstood my question。女の人は「キャンパスで 孔子学院へ行ってください」と言いました。 メンフィス大学には官話授業を取りません。次、ペルーやパキスタンのテーブルに行きました。ペルーテーブルで羊肉のタコスを買ってパキスタンのテーブルでご飯を辛いご飯と分からない肉を買いました。あの分からない肉を食べませんでした。By the end of the day, 四十ドルぐらい使いました。September 29, 201420
- 会話練習 昨日、ごめんなさい。手伝ってくださってありがとうございました。私は超眠かった。今週は毎日試験かプロジェクトか宿題がありましたので。実は夏学校からまだくたくたです。二年ぐらい、休みがありませんと思っています。 I'm sorry about yesterday. Thanks for helping me out. I was super sleepy. I've had an exam, homework assignment, or project due everyday this week. As a matter of fact, I'm still overworked from summer school. Now that I think about it, I haven't had a break in about 2 years.September 26, 201430
Skydiving
I haven't written the a paragraph for in a while. This
time I want wanted to write because I went to skydiving
two weeks ago. , and this is also in my pocket list.
For me, Personally, I thought it skydiving was really awesome
and exciting. Before I did it, I always thought
skydiving was a very dangerous activity; indeed, it was.
But if However, they had very good instructors, high quality
gear, and as well as inspectors for checking gears; therefore, I assumed thought
it would be safe. The most important amazing thing that was
the view in from the sky. were super fabulous It was unbelievable, especially
when I jumped out of the aircraft! Even though I felt
nervous, but I still wanna want to try it again.
I didn't know how to explain too much feeling I
did how I felt. All in all, I wish everyone could try it at
least one time once in your life their lives.0 votedFebruary 26, 20140That's easy. A great teacher is one who knows the material so well, that they don't need a book to explain the lesson to you. Also, the best teachers I've ever had weren't the ones with the PhD's (they were actually the worst ones), but the teachers who were grad students. The grad students understand the struggles that most students face and find ways to explain them and make topics easier to understand.

I wanted to quit school. I hated my major. I began to receive bad grades. All of the teachers in the Computer Science and Math Department were very vague. The Computer Science students were also very antisocial. When I took Japanese 1010, the teacher was the only good teacher I had. That's why I became motivated and began studying Japanese.)February 5, 201431
Train accident
Good night! Now, I was just reading an online newspaper and I have read that has delaired a train derailed in NY. Last summer, in the north of in northern Spain, we had there was a similar accident in Santiago de Compostela. but However, our accident was worse because in this accident the train conductor lost control, killing 79 travelers died. Causes was that the motorman were faster and finally lost the control. I think that this is terrible and I want to give my support to the victims from Spain!(I think this is terrible and I want to give my deepest condolences to everyone who passed away.)
