Surprise!
Brought to you by your favorite Japanese Translator!
Surprise!!!
You have been learning lots of words lately so I'm giving you a break for the weekend!!
Surprise!! You'll only have to learn one word for the next few days!!
And guess what that word is...
Surprise = Bick-urish-ta!
So, if you are surprised by something you see in Japan, you can say bick-urish-ta! It's all one word. Also, if someone in Japan gets a surprise they shout out BICK-URISH-TAAAA!! just like we shout out "wwwwaaaahhhhhhh!!" when we get a surprise.

Here are questions you will hear people asking you... but remember don't talk to strangers!!
Here are questions you will hear people asking you... but remember don't talk to strangers!!
Anata no namai wa nan dess ka? = what is your name?
Anata wa nan soy dess ka? = what age are you?
Doko kara dess ka? = where are you from?
Here are the answers:
Watashi no namai wa Oisin dess. = my name is Oisin (sometimes, people just say "Oisin dess" = I'm Oisin. It's shorter, and people find it easier to say)
Jew soy dess = I'm 10 years old.
Roku soy dess = I'm 6 years old.
Irelando kara dess = I'm from Ireland.
Oisin wa Irelando kara dess = Oisin is from Ireland.
Miya wa Knee hon kara dess = Miya is from Japan.
This picture means Japan, you'll see it written on t-shirts and cups and [smelly] socks and flags and and and everything! Japanese people don't say "Japan" though, instead they say Knee Hon. So...
Knee hon = Japan.

5 second challenge!
Brought to you by your favorite Japanese Translator!
Do you like time travel???? I ask because today we will go back in time!
Did you see that in the last post I put up a list of all the words you have learned so far?
Well, for today, what I want you to do is to make sure you know all of those ones before we go on and learn some more.
So, here's the challenge....
Go through the list of words in the previous post, one by one, with your mom asking you "what's the Japanese for..." for each word. If there is one you can't remember within 5 seconds... write it down on a piece of paper. Continue making the list until you have done the 5 second challenge with each word.
And thennnnnnnnnn.......(or later on!)
Download a flashcard app and put your list of words on it. That's the way to learn those tricky to remember words without wasting any time reviewing words you already know. Japanese efficiency!!!
Let me know how it goes if some of the words still won't go into your head... I'll find a way to make them stick without buuuursting your brain!! The way to make it memorable is to make it fun and funny!
