I learned that when making a new friend and meeting a new person, it takes time before casual speech is used and it usually depends on the person for when they start to use it. I also learned that a person's age is very important, and is sometimes the first thing a person gets asked, in order for Japanese speakers to know what speaking style to use when speaking to them. I also learned that if you want to work in Japan, understanding and knowing how to speak Keigo is necessary. Also, Konoka said that when speaking to older people you always use Keigo. She also mentioned that she learned Keigo when she was in elementary school. Additionally, I learned that the reason for the invention of Keigo, has to do with the Japanese emperor and for how to speak extra formally in those situations. Finally, I learned from Takeda Sensei that ぞ is usually used in informal conversations, such as with 行くぞ meaning lets go! Also 僕 and 俺 is used when people want to sound smart and elite. ]]> 2023-09-29 14:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2726196277 20wyatta https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2726279799 I learned that depending on the age of the person, you have to speak differently. Takeda Sensei speaks formally (using keigo) to Meguro Sensei, but when he was answering our questions, he spoke politely (using -desu, -masu form). Konoka spoke informally to us because we are around the same age. Takeda Sensei began to learn keigo officially in middle school, but as a child he would imitate his parents. He mainly used TV to help him study the different speech styles, as well as manga, reading and writing. Konoka learned keigo in elementary school, and she practiced by listening to other people speak. ]]> 2023-09-29 16:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2726279799 20wyatta https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2732983298 I spoke to both Miku and Ammi. I learned a lot about different kinds of anime and  suggestions of fun things to do in Japan on the weekends. I noticed that when Ammi and Miku would talk to each other, they used casual speech with the occasional contracted form. In general, we all spoke politely so they'd used -desu/-masu form with us sometimes. Something interesting that I learned is that the Aichi prefecture has 7 million people living in it. ]]> 2023-10-05 01:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2732983298 https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2732996340 I spoke to Yuzuka. She used です・ます体 when she was speaking and because we were speaking politely, she didn't use contracted form or inversion. I didn't notice anything feminine in her speech. It was interesting to find out that しゃべくり is her favorite TV show because that's one of the funniest Japanese TV shows for me too.]]> 2023-10-05 01:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2732996340 https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2733041994 I spoke to Miku and Ammi during the exchange. I noticed that they used 何だろう even though in the lesson it said that that is more often male speech. Also they talked to each other using causal speech while we were using です/ます form. We spoke mostly about what Anime they liked, instruments they played, and what we all usually do on the weekends. Because there were five of us in the group it was a little difficult to find out more things about them, and ask specific questions about different speech styles and honorific speech in Japanese. However during the English section I learned that Ammi went to Portland last year and likes Ice Cream especially Mint Chocolate Chip. ]]> 2023-10-05 01:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2733041994 https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2736235940 On Wednesday, I got to speak to Anmi and Miku-san. When speaking to them, I tried my best to use polite form, especially when I introduced myself. For them, they spoke politely to use, using "desu/masu" in the sentences, but when speaking to each other, they spoke in some short/casual form. I assume they are friends/close classmates because of that. I remember them using phrases like 何だろう＆そうかな... as thinking expressions which I thought was something interesting I should adopt when speaking casually among friends or myself. I also learned that Anmi is really into Japanese rock music and often goes to concerts, plays the violin, is a tutor at school, and has never been to Ghibli Park. Miku is very friendly, loves to watch anime in her free time, loves chocolate ice cream, works as a tutor at a Yakiniku restaurant, and wants to go to Ghibli Park in the future as well. Both of them were lovely to speak to and I hope I can have a conversation with them again. ]]> 2023-10-07 03:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/DickinsonJapanese/6poewokdhhlwv3bv/wish/2736235940
