#35 Welcome to the world of Japanese-English

Tidbit Note -Practice English With Me- ·

2022/12/05

Transcript ↓ There is no exaggeration to say that the past year for me has been a battle against Japanese-English. We Japanese has a culture called Katakana which is based on English words but turned to different meanings in the Japanese language. Today let me introduce some interesting Japanese-English which is used commonly in Japan and also made me confused a lot here. I should probably start with the word “dryer” in Japanese ドライヤー. I remember a certain episode that someone from Japan told me. He

#34 Talking about Japanese comedy

2022/11/30

Transcript ↓ December is the only season I want to go back to Japan. It is not due to Raincouver, but because we can see a lot of comedy programs. Especially, I love “M-1 grand Prix” which is a traditional TV show to be battled to decide the no.1 comedian unit in December in Japan. Here is the thing. Do you think if Canadian watch this Japanese comedy, they would feel it is funny? Would a westerner understand Japanese comedy? I don’t know the exact answer to it but I read an interesting article

Transcript ↓ 1 year has passed since I came here to Vancouver. What do you think about going abroad in your 30s? I never introduced myself in detail so far but the reason why I came here is to broaden my world and to get a new career option. The purpose has not yet been achieved and is still on the way. Today let me look back at the past year in this podcast. In summary, I did well in my school for the first 6 months and did my best in job hunting. I would give high marks for this point. On the

2022/11/19

Transcript ↓ Today I have to let you know such sad news that I got laid off a few days ago. Even though I always felt “I will be laid off today” every day, It is disappointing to actually hear it. However, this is a good opportunity to look back on my short 2 weeks. So today just let me note some lessons I learned in my first time working in a Canadian company. Firstly, needless to say, communicating is very important. I learned it from one of my colleagues, who was really good at making people

#31 Useful vocabularies to work as customer service...

Tidbit Note -Practice English With Me- ·

2022/11/11

Transcript ↓ 2 weeks have passed since my job began. This week I started catching phone calls as a customer service representative. How do you think it was? To be honest, it was really really terrible. As you can imagine, it is very difficult for not native speakers to understand what people say especially over the phone. At this moment, I strongly felt how much we usually depend on facial expressions and mouth movements to understand what people say in English. Additionally, the most difficult part

So I’m going to wrap up my first week quickly, mainly let me introduce how to ask something unknown naturally that I learned in my workplace. Here are the things our textbook taught us.

2022/11/03

Transcript ↓ Let me present my goal for November at the beginning of the month as usual. The theme for November is incredibly simple. I would say just "Never give up on keeping up every day". This month will be the hardest month ever, and that's all that matters. What’s important is that If there is something unclear or incomprehensible in my work, do whatever it takes to solve, review, and learn. I have to learn without worrying about shame. On the other hand, I don't have any other things to care

#28 What Halloween is

Tidbit Note -Practice English With Me- ·

2022/10/29

Transcript ↓ Most Japanese people would think Halloween is just a Costume Contest for Party animals. That meant no one actually “celebrates” Halloween. I really agree with that opinion. For me, every year the day is just the usual end of the month. That meant just being very busy. I always didn’t want to go outside on this day, just in order to avoid congestion, typically while living in Tokyo. Speaking of Halloween, now I’m really surprised because most Canadians seem to take care of Halloween

Transcript ↓ As I mentioned in a recent podcast, my new job begins on November 1. With each passing day, I actually feel more anxious. My contract says I can be fired without cause, and much of my work involves talking to locals. And in a way that involves responsibility. Obviously, working in a Japanese restaurant brings a lot of peace of mind. This is because my co-workers are Japanese. No matter how different our ways of thinking may be, they are not beyond my expectation. Sometimes their
