ブログのしゅくだい6(Blog HW 6 DUE 9/28げつようび)

こんしゅうの ブログの しゅくだいです。

This week, I want you to look for Japanese videos (on YouTube, Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.) and watch them for at least 1 hour. You can watch Japanese dramas, J-movies, variety shows, anime, news, and so on, but make sure the audio is in Japanese (English subtitle OK). For example, you can watch a couple of episodes of テラスハウス(reality show) on Netflix to last an hour OR watch a J-movie like トトロ.

  • On your blog entry, write/introduce about the video/s you saw and comment how you liked it (or did not like it...) in English. You can optionally write in Japanese, as well.
  • Include pictures and/or videos in your entry.
  • Also, don't forget to read your classmates' blog and comment!
--------
If you are looking for something to watch, go to https://www.crunchyroll.com/videos/drama. (It's a legitimate website. Not sketchy!) They have a variety of J-dramas and lots of anime to watch for free (with ads.)! Just make sure you're watching in Japanese, not English, Chinese, etc.

ぶろぐのコメント(comment)のしゅくだい (Blog comment HW DUE FRIDAY, 9/4)

 こんしゅうのブログ(ぶろぐ)のしゅくだいです。

  1. Check comments under your latest blog entry (about music).
  2. Reply to comments, especially the ones from 4ねんせい. You should have at least received a comment from 4th-Year Japanese students in Japanese. Reply to their Japanese questions in Japanese and reply to their English comments (if any) as well.
  3. Ask sensei/tutor or look up on your own if you encounter any words you do not know.
You don't need to write a new blog entry for this homework (but no one is stopping you if you want to write one. 😎)

-----Bonus --------------------------------------------------
Nakama Chapter 3 is about まいにちのせいかつ(daily life/routines). Do you wonder how life will be like as a にほんのだいがくせい? Well, here's a quick video of a student in とうきょう! You will recognize many of the words in the video (がくしょく、りょう、しゅくだい etc.). Happy watching😊.
