サウスベンドの天気はとてもへんだ。私のサウスベンド天気が好じゃないです。はるやすみ、晴れと雨がふったと雪がふったしました。私のしゅっしんはたくさん雨がふります。晴れていて、あたたかいですから、なつが大好です。

This week I watch a Japanese practice video from the YouTube Channel,  けんさんおかえり Japanese . The video consisted of the Youtuber walking around a park in Nagoya, where he was talking about his surroundings but also interacting with the viewers by asking questions. The park he went to is really pretty and had a lot of cool building! I really enjoyed watching this video because he talked in a slower manner that was easy for me to understand, as well as provided Japanese subtitles, that way I knew exactly what he was saying. Throughout the video I was able to recognize various verbs, especially because he used たべる and みる a lot. I also recognized some kanji that was used in the subtitles. Overall, I think his videos will help me improve my Japanese listening skills and would recommend you to check it out as well!

私ははるやすみでしゅっしんにかりました。ともだちといしょうにレストランを行って、おいしい食べ物を食ました。火曜日に、私はビーチに行って、2時間にあるくのをしました。ビーチはしずかで、やさしかったです。金曜日に University of Washington という大学をいきました。 University of Washingtonは とてもきれいで、おおきいです。さくらのきたくさんがあります。私はねるのが大好きなので、たくさんねました。私のはるやすみはたのしくて、よかったです。

       This week I watched a vlog film in Tokyo that is meant to improve your Japanese listening skills. Throughout this video, we follow the YouTuber throughout her day. We see her go to the train station, which allowed me to see a little bit of what a train station looks like in Japan. She went to a town called じんぼうちょう, where there were a lot of bookstores and it was really pretty. While watching the video I noticed somethings that were different compared to America, for example when going up an escalator everyone stands in a singular line to the left. This time around I didn't use any subtitles, which made it so much more difficult to understand because I didn't recognize some of the words or sentences structures. I really enjoyed watching this vlog and definitely plan to watch more!
