Hello, everybody,how are you?
Today, before I start this, I want to ask you a question. "How many of you are aware of language?"
When I was in Japan, I was going to major in "World linguistic" actually. That major was just established in one of the colleges I was applying, and I got passed on the exam.
To enter Japanese college, you have to study, A LOT like crazy. That's why we have so many cramming school? what do you call it? Private tutoring school? that you go after the class in highschool. You pay the tuition there more than you pay for highshool. But once you enter the college, you won't study and learn only how to party.
usually.
We study English from middle and high shool just because to pass the exam to enter the college. 6 years. Such a wasting time. We study English focusing on grammar and reading becuase it's easy to grade. phew. Don't blame my English, that's the education we've exposed in Japan :) :) :( I know it's stupid, Japanese Education Ministry has to do something with this, seriously!
I am now officially getting off the subject. so, language awareness? Ok I have to cut off this for next time....but what I really wanna say is, since I was child, I was so aware of the language. I liked writing poems, although it's embarrasing. I liked to read the anciant books of Japan... I liked the way the word "kotoba " ,means language, words and phrasis in English, was made...
However, until I started tutoring at the Japanese classes on campus, I didn't know how much I do not know about my own langage, Japanese. To tell you the truth, I don't think I can teach you Japanese grammars because what your Japanse textbook says is not the way we've been taught.
So, as I study how to teach proper Japanese in the classes, here I am, I will tell you the Japanese slangs! Because a lot of arguments show that slang is not meant be taught in class, or textbook, you just gotta be aware of it.
I got too excited even before I give you one slang!! Sorry, I got too much to say about it...the first word will be postponed to the next post, Don't miss it because it's gonna be "Yabai"!!
