Japanese Exposure Video #2
For this post, I watched another video from the creator Speak Japanese Naturally about a Japanese high school. When the narrator's son goes to school, she explains that he has a 9 minute walk from the station to the school, and takes us on the journey herself. The school was preparing for their school festival, called "Blue Dragon Festival" (蒼龍歳). They were selling food, like ham and cheese crepes.
Also, the area surrounding the school has beautiful mountains and is fairly rural. I learned that they place misters (ミスト) on the trees to help combat the heat and humidity during the summer time.

Japanese Exposure Video
I just watched the video "Japanese Listening Practice | Supermarket and Christmas in Japan" by the creator Speak Japanese Naturally. She took a trip to a local supermarket (スーパー), and bought ingredients to prepare a Christmas dinner. If I understood the video correctly, she compared her dinner to the American food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), which was extremely interesting. I don't think of basing Christmas dinner off of a KFC meal.
She talked about the prices of various 野菜 and 肉. I learned that '半額' means half off of the price, and the drinking age is 二十歳.

First Introduction!
こんにちは みなさん、
初めまして。私はブリン・アンダーソンです。私の出身はアメリカのミシガンです。ノートルダム大学の一年生です。先行は日本語とファイナンスです。私の趣味はゴルフと本とアニメです。ゴルフとハンターxハンターが大好きです。
During this semester, I'm aiming to heavily improve my speaking and listening skills, as well as thinking more in Japanese while doing my day-to-day things. I have taken Japanese in the past, but I am nowhere near fluent, and I would love to be. I hope to immerse myself in the language as much as I can, along with learning about Japan's culture.
どうぞよろしくおねがいします!
