Blooket Homework - Time limited





Today we had three different games to help us out with our vocabulary for lesson 16. the first game had you running a cafe and in order to make your food you had to answer a question in Japanese. the second game was a factory I believe. the goal was to make $1,000,000 and if you answer three question correctly you can get a little animal friend to help you gain more money. It mainly focused on Katakana. The last was managing a kingdom. People would come in asking you question but before you could answer them you had to get a Japanese question correct. This game was more about Kanji. I think I struggled the most with the cafe and the kingdom games the most. I felt very humbled. I failed a lot but I did start to memorize the vocabulary and phrases more so it all works out. I was lucky that I remember some of the Kanji from my Japanese calligraphy class.

Katakana

  I am glad I finally know why the Japanese language has three different alphabets. Hiragana is meant for native Japanese words while Katakana is for foreign words. If I remember correctly, Kanji is from Chinese characters that have been adapted into the Japanese language. Despite knowing all of this I still have difficulties telling Hiragana and Katakana apart ( I know I am so ashamed! I promise I will do better! ) Hopefully, as we continue on during the semester the difference between the two will become more apparent. A bit more practice and I am sure this will change! So far I am noticing that Hiragana is more rounded and much more natural to write down to me. (The curviness of the characters reminds me of Khmer in a way)I think I might prefer writing in Hiragana for now.  While katakana is more angular, sharp, and a bit rigid for me to write. But perhaps I’m just not used to writing these characters yet. ( I haven’t built muscle memory for the letters yet). I plan on doin...

Japanese Business card

Image
 Unfortunately, I don’t know much about business card culture in Cambodia or Vietnam since I’ve never been to either ( very sad, but I hope to go one day). However, what I have observed from watching my parents ( they own a restaurant for reference) is that they mainly just talk to people rather than give business cards. From what I have noticed, Japanese business cards seem to be very simple, formal, and straightforward. Which I think is very fitting for them as they are known as a kind, yet reserved and polite group of people.  Whereas in America business cards have a lot of emphasis on being unique with a goal of showing off their personality to the viewer through their card. This reflects American society well in my opinion; as most Americans value individualism. Usually in America, no two business cards look the same (at least that is what I observed on Google. I think this is especially noticeable in small business accounts. ). While making my business card I noticed mos...
