3 minutes EASY JAPANESE #12 日本語(にほんご)が上手(じょうず)になる人(ひと)とならない人のちがい | The difference between a good Japanese speaker and a bad speaker.

It's no secret that Hawaii is a favorite destination for Japanese tourists. In 2023, the islands welcomed around 573,000 visitors from Japan — the most from any country.

But did you know there's a connection between Japan and Hawaii that goes beyond travel and into clothing?

Aloha shirts, also known as Hawaiian shirts, have roots in Japanese culture, beginning with Japanese immigrants in Hawaii.

In the late 1800s, Japanese immigrants in Hawaii started importing Japanese clothing as well as rolls of fabric to make clothes with.

In the 1920s, locals in Hawaii saw these fabrics and started using them to make casual dress shirts with Japanese patterns on them. These shirts became popular with tourists to Hawaii.

Soon after, aloha shirts were made in bulk, but instead of using fabric made for Japanese clothing, stores in Hawaii started bringing in printed fabrics made just for aloha shirts.

And by the late 1930s, the designs had changed from Japanese patterns to the Hawaiian inspired patterns we're used to today — images of Mount Fuji and Japanese pine trees were replaced with things like coconut trees, surfers and fish.

But even though today's aloha shirts don't look very Japanese inspired, they still remain popular within Japan.

Yosuke Seki, an aloha shirt aficionado who goes to Hawaii every year, told CNN he wears his shirts daily, and hopes to inspire others to try them.

"Right now, I'm wearing a replica of one of the expensive designs," Seki said, adding that his shirt cost between $130 and $200. The more expensive shirts can cost thousands of dollars, he explained.

And for some fans, aloha shirts are not just clothing — they're collectable items, or even considered art.

Yoshihiro Nakano is the brand director of Sun Surf, a Japanese company that has been making aloha shirts for about 50 years. Many customers don't even wear the aloha shirts they buy, and instead just collect them or frame them, Nakano told CNN.

Bruce Lee’s Empty Cup - And Why Your English is Costing You MONEY

Bruce Lee asked: Is your cup empty, or full?

The answer could be why you’re leaving money on the table every time you open your mouth in a business situation. I’m talking presentations that bore clients to death, pitches that land with a thud, job interviews where you sound like a buffoon…and even those damn IELTS tests my students sweat over.

See, you’re probably making ONE of these critical mistakes (and maybe all of them):

You’re STUCK in Your Ways: “Empty” means potential. “Full” means rigid, unable to adapt. Your English is probably stuck in a textbook from 1985.

You’re Fixated on “Perfect”: Forget perfection. Aim for impact. Trying to be flawless is paralyzing you. Stop it.

You Think You’re “Done” Learning: The moment you stop learning, you start dying (business-wise, anyway). Your English has to evolve to stay sharp.

You’re Clueless About Yourself: You have ZERO awareness of how you actually sound to prospects, clients, or even the interviewer across the table. Ouch.

But there’s a way out.

In my latest podcast episode, I take Bruce Lee’s wisdom – yes, the martial arts guy – and brutally expose exactly how you can weaponize your English.
