こんにちは! This week we learned how to talk about what we like in Japanese. Here are a couple of things I like: わたしわにんてんどのげえむとそぽおつがすきです。 Some of my favorite Nintendo games are the different Mario Kart, Pokemon, and Zelda games. I am currently playing Mario Kart World and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I also like sports. I grew up watching baseball, but since coming to ND I have been addicted to college football. I still occasionally watch basketball or baseball, but football is definitely now my favorite sport. I've heard that baseball is popular in Japan. I think it would be cool to go to a baseball game there! ありがとうございます。See everyone in class!
こんにちは! I find it very interesting that Japanese borrows so many words from other languages. In many cases, it is possible to guess what a word will be in Japanese by just thinking of the pronunciation in terms of katakana. For example, bus is simply バス, instant coffee is インスタントコーヒー, and Kit-kat is キットカット. Although Kanji still seems necessary to fully understand written Japanese, knowing katakana is a major help. When walking through Tokyo, I noticed that katakana was used significantly more often than hiragana on buildings and signs. In fact, even English seemed more common than hiragana. This makes sense as katakana is typically used for company names, especially for foreign companies.
こんばんは!Today I watched a video about Ghibli Park in Aichi, Japan. Studio Ghibli is one of the most famous and recognizable animation studios in the world, so it makes sense they would have their own theme park! Ghibli Park has many attractions modeled after scenes from their movies. I particularly liked seeing the cat bus from My Neighbor Totoro as that was one of my favorite movies growing up. After seeing all of Studio Ghibli's movies displayed I definitely need to go through and watch all their movies. Here is the link to the video if you would like to watch it. Until next time! じゃあまた
いいですね!えいがは なにをみましたか。
