Warning!!! Watch out for the embarrassing moment where I get totally lost 😅! I feel like this was one of the harder lessons for me! Toshi san spoke a little faster than what I was used to. You can try slowing down the speed in the settings section (bottom right corner of the video) if you need to!
Good... I'm glad it just wasn't me. He was speaking quickly and on top of that, his microphone sounded muffled. I haven't finished this part yet, but I'm looking forward to the Singapore presentation (likely in Part 2)!
@@Rationalific haha thanks. I have to warn you though, I did a bad job talking about Singapore hahaha. I think I need to go do more research and practice.
@@GermaineJapanese It's okay. I'm definitely behind you in terms of Japanese, and part of it is that I'm not as brave as you with regards to speaking up and even putting videos out publicly. You're doing fine!
Hi Germaine! No matter how many comments I write doesn’t seem to be able to convey my gratitude for making these videos😂😂 I can definitely relate only understanding what the teacher says after reviewing the video, I always do that and the embarrassment kinda help to cement the mistake/things I didn’t pick up into my memory. I think it is a good method. But recently I have a huge backlog of lesson vids to review that makes me think to stop my lessons temporarily to catch up😂😂
Thank you Jason! The comments are always encouraging. I will never get sick of receiving them haha. Glad you can relate to that! So many times, I review my videos and wonder why I didn’t understand it the first time. I think there’s just too much going on during the conversations that our brain’s ram capacity just maxes out and starts to lag. So recording and reviewing really helps with the learning.
@@GermaineJapanese RAM maxing out is the exact description of the situation!😂 I had that so much and sorry for the sensei who thought I might be disinterested in the topic, my brain was just lagging 😂😂 “I should’ve said this”, “I could’ve explained it better” these thoughts always came out during reviewing. But I guess that is how we learn🤔😊
This is great. Thanks for sharing! What would be even more awesome is if you could add closed caption subtitles in Japanese to these kinds of videos so that you can use tools like Language Reactor and Yomichan with your videos. Might be a lot of work, no idea, but personally I'd be happy to pay for that kind of content (via ko-fi, patreon, whatever). Just an idea.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion! I totally agree with you, unfortunately at the moment I don't really have the time to do such detailed transcription of the subtitles. (Previously, some videos were sponsored by Japanese online school so they did the subtitles for me) I've tried to check out the price for such transcription work and it seems to be quite costly. I'm not sure if I could get enough people to chip in to get it covered?
@@GermaineJapanese hi! I might be able to help you.I can transcribe in Japanese for you. It’s not difficult for me. If you translate some Japanese sentence to English, I’m happy. Because I can also learn English.
How can i talking with teachers in italk i was pay money in italk for talking with teacher but the teacher didnt talking with me what is the wrong?!! 😥😭
This is my first video of this type (for Japanese lessons). I can't say I understand everything but it really helped me to understand what I need work on :). Thanks! I don't know if you know the answer but is that lesson more like level N4,N3,N2?
@@GermaineJapanese Well... I have been studying for 2 years but pretty much on and off because of college ( I wasn't as consistent as I wish :') ). Right now, im just trying to improve progressively From what you said, I would be more like a N5-N4 for comprehension. I like the vocabulary/definitions of more difficult words since im not that skilled in Japanese yet XD

Appreciate your effort to add sub titles
forever fan❤️

ええ〜 本当ですか？でもすごく時間がかかりますよね。。。大変だと思います！
@@GermaineJapanese 書き起こすだけなら、そんなに時間かからないと思うんです。編集する作業と英訳するのがいつも大変なんです。

じゃ。。。本当にありがとう御座います🙇🏻♀️👏🏻

Hi, I would think this conversation is around the N3 level! How long have you studied Japanese?

I transcribed it! It was harder than I thought it would be. LOL!
So here it is, halfway through.
I'm glad if it's useful to someone else.

ジャーミンさんですね。
はい。
はい、じゃあ、僕のことはトシと呼んでください。
トシですね。トシさん。よろしくおねがいします。
はい、よろしくお願いします。
今回、初（はつ）なので、お互いに自己紹介から、最初やりましょうか。じゃあ、僕の方からいきますよ。
はじめまして、私の名前はトシといいます。アイトーキを始めて、、ま、今日始めたばっかりなんですよ。
なので、ジャーミンさんが３人めです。３人目の生徒さんです。。はい。それで、まぁ、アイトーキ以外では僕は看護師（かんごし）の仕事をしています。
ちょっと事情があって、いま看護師していないんですけど。看護師ってわかりますか？
ナースですか？
はい、イエス。そう、看護師はナースです。
大変な仕事ですね。
そうなんです。なので、辞めました。
はははは。（笑） 大変だったので。
全部で５年間やっていました。
すごい、お疲れさまです。
５年間やって辞めて、、ありがとうございます。で、いま、えーそうですね。このコロナウィルスで海外に行けなくなってしまって、それで、アイトーキの方で。
ま、英語を勉強していたんですよ、もともと。あの、海外で仕事をしたくて。
それで、勉強してたんですけど、ちょっと海外にも行けなくなって、アイトーキでじゃあ日本語教えてみようかと、いうことで始めてみました。
あとは、まぁ趣味は最近は時間があるときは、英語の勉強をしたり、えー将棋をしたりしています。将棋ってわかりますか？
将棋・・えーはい。「碁（ご）？」
あー、碁じゃない方。
え、碁じゃないんですね。将棋はどんなゲームなんですか？
うーん、チェスに似ています。かなりチェスに似ています。
あのー、相手のキングをチェックメイトするような。そういうゲームですね。
ただ、駒（こま）の一つ一つに日本語で、あの駒の名前が書いてあって、で、駒の数もチェスよりいっぱいあります。
だから、とても複雑ですね。難しいものになってます。興味があったら、是非やってみてください。
難しそうですね。
じゃあ、僕の方はこれで終わりです。今度はジャーミンさんの方お願いします。
2:35
はい、私の名前はジャーミンです。えー今、小学校で音楽を教えています。
はい、２年前日本に行って、えーと１年間仕事をしてますけど、英語を教えました。
（１年間仕事をしてましたけど、英語を教えていました）
えー趣味は、ギターを弾くこととか、陶芸（とうげい）をすること。
『とうぎ？』、あ、「陶芸？」コップとか作るやつ？えーあぁ、すごいなぁ。
それは、趣味でやっているんですか？
はい、そうですね。
家に、その陶芸をする道具はあるっていうことですか？
うーん、はい最近、あの、なんて言うんですか、あの、「ろくろ」っていうの？買いました。
え？あのクルクル回って、こう、こうやって。なるほど。えぇーーー、あれはすごいな。日本人でもなかなか持っている人いないですよ。
うーん。シンガポールの陶芸教室はレッスンは高いですから、はい、このろくろを買った方がいいと思いました。
わぁ、そうなんだ。すごいなぁ。その陶芸って、日本独特ですか。それともシンガポールにも、もともとそう言うのはあったんですか？
えーそうでうね。たぶん中国から。
そうですね。そうかもしれないです。陶芸はどこが面白いんですか？
そうですね。えーと自分のお皿とかコップをつくれる。それは、結構面白いと思います。
自分の好きな形に作って。
はい、そうですね。自分の好きな色とか。
その例えば、この皿にこの料理をのせたら綺麗だな、とか考えながら作るんですか？
はい。そうです。
へー。やぁすごいなぁ。
最近はどんなものを作ったんですか？
うーん、最近はあの、えーなんていうんですか。「かび？」
あ、「花瓶（かびん）？」花瓶ですね。
へー、それにお花をこう、入れて飾ってるんですか？
あら、すごいですね。
なかなか、若いひとでね、陶芸に興味があるって人は日本にはなかなかいない。
シンガポールでは最近結構はやっています。
へーそうなんですか。
陶芸体験室とか、はい。
へー。そうなんだぁ。面白いな。
5:41
今回は、この自由、フリートークということで、こういう感じで自由にお話しする形で良いですか？
はい、あの３０分くらい、あのフリートークで、他の３０分は、ちょっとシンガポールの観光地を紹介したいんですけど。
僕に？
はい、パワーポイントスライドを準備しました。
いつもシンガポールはどこが良いかいつも聞かれるけど。
シンガポールは何もないって答えます。でも実はたぶん、少しありますよね。
いやぁーあると思います。
それを先生になってくれるんですか？僕にシンガポールを教えてくれるんですか？
はい。はい。でも、文法とか、えっと間違いところたぶんたくさんありますから。
そのときはじゃあ、僕が教えれば良いんですかね？
それをどこかで、披露（ひろう）する機会があるんですか？
このプレゼンテーションを今から、シンガポールのことを教えてもらうわけじゃないですか。
それを僕以外のところで、また本番（ほんばん）があるんですかね？それとも・・・・
うん、すみません、「本番」ってどういう意味ですか？
そうですね。僕が聞いていたのは・・・あの例えば
今度、公演（こうえん）で、、まぁ会議（かいぎ）とかで、シンガポールの良いところ、観光地を日本語で、そのプレゼンをする機会があって
今は練習なのかと思ったんですよ。そう言う訳ではないんですね？
うーん。
難しい。はい、わかりました。
とにかく、してくれるということで。はい。楽しみにしていますので、よろしくお願いします。
