My Japanese experience

 I really enjoyed this class, it was very interactive and I like that I got a chance to practice my Japanese skills with my classmates. I learned a lot about Japanese culture through the vlogs that I posted for the blog project and I also got a chance to see my Japanese skills develop as a started to understand more and more of the vlogs with out captions.  overall I am really grateful for the experiences from this class, both the challenges and the successes.

Yokohama vlog

  This vlog was very interesting because I have seen a lot of videos and pictures of popular places in Japan like Kyoto and Tokyo but this is my first time seeing Yokohama and it looks very pretty and I would love to visit there sometime.

Day in the life in Tokyo

  I chose another listing practice vlog because I learned a lot about Japanese culture from the last one. In this vlog I was able to recognize a couple of vocabulary words and sentence structures that we have been working on in class through this video. I also found it interesting that most people in Japan, well in Tokyo,  use either bikes or trains as a mode of transportation. Which is different from what I am use to. 

Shopping and Christmas

I also got a chance to hear about the Japanese culture surrounding Christmas. For kids they are excited for the presents but for teenager/young adults it is kind of like valentines day because they use Christmas as a chance to find dates. Most people in Japan also like to eat chicken on Christmas; I found this fact interesting because in America, unlike thanksgiving, we don't have a certain protein that we eat for Christmas.
