Japanese Language

What I learned about the future and history of the Japanese life is that many of their costs are much more than their savings based upon the company that they work for. She also talked about how the birth rate is pretty high from where they are from. From the beginning of the video, it also seems like they would live a normal life just like people in the United States, such as working and being a housewife. She talks about the differences of working with company A versus working with company B. She talks about how company A works long hours and laying off the people that are in order. That’s how she went into detail about the cost and the savings. She talks about how company B fixes the lower cost, but they focus on cutting down the overtime. I think company B reminds me of a summer job, because it gives younger people the opportunity to work a job and that’s what company B as she describes it. Certain limited schedules are within company B too, so you won’t have to ...

  Doing the video introduction was more fun than trying to write the script. This is because I can get the hang of speaking my introduction in Japanese rather than trying to write it and make sure that the sentences flow a little bit better. It’s also fun and a great way to learn to speak Japanese when it is your first time speaking it, and as it being my introduction, I would like to say it in a great way so I can introduce myself well in Japanese. 

 

  I think it’s important to speak in a language community, because it educates all of us to speak professionally in the same manner. It kind of reminds me of when we are in a group of how we have to pay attention to how we say certain Japanese languages and how to sound them out. It can be very important to educate the people around us, especially if we are learning a new language to say it the correct way. I think there are certain aspects of speaking just like someone from the United States but doesn’t speak English. It's important for them to speak English because they are entering a country that speaks nothing but English. So, taking classes and the person learning how to speak that language is part of the language community, because it needs other people to help them learn how to speak English and speak it properly. It’s kind of the opposite for us that are American, and I think it’s important with any race or country that wants to learn how to speak a certain language. ...

  My reflection on writing was that this was much harder than the first one, because the languages switch for every chart and you have to make sure they are in the correct order based on the sound that they make and how you pronounce them. I still think it was a great exercise, not just for me, but for the rest of the class as well. I can tell it’s going to take a little time to get used to it, which I understand because it can be a lot more work than I expect. What I love about learning the charts and writing them down is to learn how to say Japanese languages the correct way. With the katakana chart it’s more to remember than to forget because it comes with another chart and you have to remember the proper way to remember how you see it so you can remember what that handwritten language means. I think our class being in groups helps us understand the chart a bit faster. It helps us enjoy learning and making the chart by catching one another up.

  When you confront the way you behave and how you carry yourself when you are around different cultures of people. The whole society is itself, but when you are around different cultures of people, that's when you start to understand how people around you carry themselves and the way they act around you. It definitely catches up to this generation the more people learn. As American people try to learn and understand different cultures and learn how to speak a certain language, we kind of find it funny, because we are not used to speaking that way, let alone the gestures that some cultures use when they speak their languages. There are so many differences when you are interacting with other cultures, because not all cultures do stuff the same. So it makes our behavior feel different, because we have so many reactions to speaking and acting differently when we are around other races of people and different languages. I think most of the time other races of people feel different abou...
