3/2 聞く宿題

3/2 聞く宿題 I learned about this cultural practice called first chore where some Japanese kids go out into the community to do a chore like go to the store. I am not super knowledgeable about the practice and reasoning for this chore, so I am became really interested and searched it up on youtube. I found this video on it and similar ones and watched them for around 15 minutes. I think it was really interesting and cute to watch the little girl go around and do chores like drop something off at the mailbox or go grocery shopping. It wasn't too hard to understand the Japanese in this video because most of it was being spoken by a child so it was more basic japanese. The times it was hard to understand the Japanese is when it was being spoken by the narrator who spoke a lot faster, or when there were specific vocabulary words like the word "grapes" that I did not understand. But overall, I really enjoyed watching the video. I think the point of this video for mw as being a

書く宿題｜最悪の日 悪いことがたくさんあったじ、今日は一番最悪の日と思います。まず、ルームメイトは今朝私を起こすのを忘れていましたから、クラスに遅れました。クラスに遅れることが心配だったので、朝食を食べなくてしまったんです。クラスに走てから、私はだれかに足をふられました。早くクラスに行けばよかったですが、クラスに30分遅れてつきました。

書く宿題 ｜ 2/17月曜日 7年前、私はカンザスに住んでいました。カンザスらしい天気は時々竜巻です。子供の頃、学校にいたに、竜巻が起きました。当時、私は洪水、地震、ハリケーンを経験したことあったけど、全然竜巻はありません。とても怖かった！カンザスは安全な場所だと思うけど、竜巻に私を心配しているんですから、困っているんです。でも、竜巻は何も壊しませんでした。 大丈夫でした!

Japanese Commercials I really love watching Japanese commercials. For last week's listening activity, I also watched Japanese commercials and it was really interesting to compare Japanese commercials to American ones. I personally think that Japanese commercials are really highly produced but also much more creative than American commercials are. A lot of them are really fast, colorful, and funny which makes it very enjoyable to watch them. There were a lot of food, beauty, and clothing commercials which is also common with American commercials. I think watching Japanese commercials is most useful for acquiring cultural knowledge for me personally. I do not have any interaction with Japanese popular culture because I do not watch anime, read manga, and have never been to Japan before. I know very little when it comes to Japanese culture, and I would like to learn more to supplement my language learning. I think watching Japanese commercials is a really easy way to pick up on mo

スキーの旅行  先週末の土曜日、私は初めてスキーに行きました。 スキーをするのが好きじゃないと思いましたから、前にスキーをしたことがありませんでした。野外クラブは土曜日にスキー旅行をしました、そして、私のルームメイトは私が彼女と一緒に行きたかったです。 それで、行きました。それは本当に楽しかったです！ スキーリゾートはミシガン州にあったため、ノートルダムからスキーリゾートまでは2時間でした。始めは、とてもスキーをしにくいです！でも、友達が助けてくれました。 1時間後、スキーはもっと楽しくなりました。私たちは7時間そこにいたので、私はたくさんスキーをしました。 私は昼ご飯に2つのおいしいホットドッグを食べました。私の一日はとても楽しかったのですが、午後9時にキャンパスに帰ったので、太鼓イベントに行くことができませんでした。

聞く宿題 I watched a 10 minute long youtube video of typical Japanese commercials that was published in January 2020. I don't really watch commercials much in America anymore because I don't watch cable, but I am still pretty familiar with how marketization and advertisement usually appear in American commercials. I was interested in watching Japanese commercials because I had realized I had never seen any before. I though they were really interesting, and very similar and different to American commercials in many ways. Upon my first viewing, they seemed to be very well-produced (aesthetic wise) and be fast-paced (fast-talking). It was really hard to follow some of the dialogue, but I was much more easily able to understand children's commercials that ones aimed at adults. It surprised me how much I wasn't able to understand in certain commercials, especially in food commercials for some reason. I really liked watching them though, because it demonstrated more casual spe
