"After 5" by Japanese Teacher

“ファーゴ: シーズン1/ Fargo Season 1”を見て

Describe something you did to learn another language.
You should say: 
What language did you learn.
What you did.
How did it help you learn the language.
And explain how you felt about it.





“I’ve always had a great interest, and fascination with  anything related to Japan, especially Japanese manga comics and movies….so, about 2 years ago I decided that I’d try to learn the language, and also made a plan to visit Japan someday. 

Although I’d picked up some Japanese words, and phrases from watching movies and cartoons over the years, I still needed to start learning the language from scratch, and was at sixes and sevens on where to start.  One of my friends who actually studied Japanese in college, recommended a youtube channel to me, which is hosted by a native Japanese teacher, and I decided to give it a shot. 

 The video lessons were wonderful, and I found that I was able to start picking up the language very quickly, from the very first lesson, with the added bonus that it was all free!  The teacher was wonderful, and really helped make learning the language a lot of fun, as well as getting me off to a flying start, and after just a few weeks,  my Japanese started to improve by leaps and bounds.

The time flew by, and after just 6 months, I was actually able to have a basic conversation in Japanese which I felt extremely happy and proud of, and actually got to visit Japan about six months ago, which was absolutely amazing, especially as I was now able to communicate with the locals….all thanks to this amazing youtube channel. 


Thank you …”

I'm going to talk about an article of newspaper, which is about one Japanese company that have been making it for 50 years! It... it is a narrow house with a red roof. It's usually put around kitchen for them!  
***********************************************
先日、新聞を読んでいたら、こんな記事がありました。

アース製薬の「ごきぶりホイホイ」が、今春、発売５０年を迎えた。

５０年間、ずっと　ゴキちゃんを何とかしたい日本中の人たちが　使っていたということか～と感心していると、

記事と一緒に掲載されている１枚の写真に目が行きました。　その写真では、女性従業員が　右手にサウジアラビア向けHOYHOYを、左手にアメリカ向けHOYHOYを持って、にこやかに笑っています。

へえ～！！！

ごきぶりホイホイって日本だけじゃなくて、世界でつかわれていたんだ！

ホンダ、トヨタの車が世界で販売されているのは知っていたけど、こんなものまで…という驚きでいっぱいでした。

ところで、５０年というと、私より少し歴史が若いということになります。
それで、思い出したのですが、そういえば、私が子どものころは、ホイホイなかったな・・・
確か、ゴキブリやハエとかが出てきたら、ハエたたきを持って、パシッと一撃！　ハエたたきというのは、プラスティックでできた　長さが５０㎝ほどの棒の先に　約１０センチ四方ぐらいの板状のものがついているものです。それで、ゴキブリやハエを追いかけて、狙いを定めて、叩くのです。とても原始的なやり方で　家の中の害虫を　やっつけていました。

ときに大きめのゴキちゃんが、黒く光った羽をひろげて、パア～と飛んだりすると、もう絶叫です。「うきゃ～～！！！」って叫びながら、ハエたたきを握りしめて　逃げたものです。

それがあるときから、紙でできた赤い屋根の細長い家のおかげで、ずいぶんゴキちゃん事情が変わったと思います。ハエたたきで追いかけることも、ほとんどなくなったと思います。

今は、さらに進化したゴキちゃん用商品が出ているので、ほとんどゴキちゃんに会うことはなくなりました。でも、「１匹見たら、１００匹はいる」ということらしいので、たぶんどこかにたくさん潜んでいるのだと思います。

おーい、ゴキちゃん、勝手に人ん家に住まないで！家の人より大勢で住むなら　家賃払ってよね！
