• おもしろくてたのしいです。She described very well what she wanted to do. She made me want to live in France, too.
• She greets the audience before introduction! She will live in France because she wants to live in a foreign country. That's brave! But why France? She wants to live with her siblings in Europe. Nice family values! She wants a big and spaciousapartmnt, and I want that too. She puts a lot of emphasis on living indulgence. That's sweet. She talks about her future children. I like that because I talked about my future children too. She gets to travel everywhere. Basically I like the life that Bree describes best. It sounds very enjoyable.

ポッドキャスティングプロジェクト Overview

Goals:
1) You will have the chance to actively express your opinions to a real Japanese audience
2) You will have the chance to consider first-hand how big media operates and presents information

Audience:
The worldwide audience of Japanese-speakers interested in New York, Columbia University, or life at an American university - and also your classmates, of course

Content:
We will create radio programs about life at Columbia University using an interview format

Steps:
1) Discuss what constitutes a good podcast (radio program)
2) Everyone will decide on the categories that we will use to critique our own and each other’s podcasts
3) Keeping #1 in mind, we will form groups of 2-3 people and create podcasting scripts. The shows will be in the form of interviews. Everyone will write scripts that should be of interest to a Japanese university student curious about life at an American university
4) We practice reading the scripts in a natural manner. (If it is necessary, students should memorize their scripts. The point is that the scripts must NOT sound stilted and unnatural)
5) Record the podcasts (We will be using “Wimba,” which is on Courseworks)
6) Listen to your classmates’ podcasts and make comments. (Examples: Grammar mistakes; Boring; etc.)
7) Correct and improve the scripts
8) Record a second time
9) We post the podcasts online, and allow a worldwide audience to listen
10) Listen to the podcasts created by you and your classmates; critique them

にほんごにおんなのひとのことばがありますか？

Yesterday Sabrina-san asked me this question: にほんごにおんなのひとのことばがありますか (Are there any female languages in Japanese?). I know most of you watch Japanese TV shows, movies, and animes, listen to J-pop, or read Japanese comic books, so tell me about your thoughts.

Does your language have a female or male language? I know "female language" is very ambiguous term, but I would also like to know how you define "female language".

にほんごのクラスはおおきいかぞくです。Please make links to your classmates blogs. Go to Template and follow the instruction. やさしいですよ！

I really appreciate you keep updating the blog... I learn a lot from it.
