It also helps me to  understand a lot about  grammar and the way that sentences and words  are put together, which  helps me to be able to better understand and  communicate in spoken  Japanese as well. For example, the Japanese word  "ee-tah" can have three  different meanings based on the context. I  learned one of them, "went",  and always thought that when people said  this in conversation they were  saying "so and so went", but this same  sound can also mean "was" or  "were" (referring to people) and "said".  When I realized that they are  different words, which look different  when written, and Sakkun　explained to me, it  made conversations make a lot  more sense, since to have been  somewhere, said something, and gone  somewhere are very different  things. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Being   able to understand written symbols also helps to understand the makeup   and meaning of words. Just like knowing Latin roots can sometimes help   you be able to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word in  English,  being able to understand the kanji and hiragana of Japanese  allows me to  understand new words in Japanese. For example I learned  that the word  "otokonoko" means child, but it was really hard for me to  remember how  to say this, since I would get confused as to the order  of the  consonant/vowel pairs which all end in "o". "O-to-ko-no-ko" and   "o-ko-no-to-ko" sounded the same to me. But when I realized that   "otoko-no-ko", which actually means boy, is written as 男の子, it finally   made sense to me. 男 means man and is pronounced "otoko". の, pronounced   "no", is suffix which means belonging to, -ese, type. And 子 "ko" means   child. So 男の子 means man type child. 女 is the kanji for woman, pronounced   "onna". So can you guess how to say girl (those who don't already speak Japanese)? 女の子 "onna-no-ko", woman type   child. Very good!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Stephanie (すーちゃん） &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-6199678668290900479?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/6199678668290900479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2012/02/writing-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6199678668290900479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6199678668290900479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2012/02/writing-in.html' title='Writing in 日本語'/><author><name>Stephanie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14653245943992268326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8wvZo01Za-M/TztNiZufZuI/AAAAAAAAAcY/jTH7_7EEVdI/s72-c/January+report.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-5388174740393853175</id><published>2012-02-15T15:32:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-21T11:48:21.121+09:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LEX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hippo Family Club'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Language'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Multilingualism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internship'/><title type='text'>亲爱的Hippo的兄弟姐妹们！你们好吗？！</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Specifically   which people had which blood type. I understand enough Japanese to  know  that this is what was being discussed but not quite enough to   understand everything that was being said, and definitely not enough to   understand why this was so funny and amusing to everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone   asked me what my blood type was. "O negative," I replied, which was  met  with an animated mixed chorus of "Oooooooh," "Mmmmmm" and "Ahhhhh".   Well, it is the universal donor type, I thought. I suppose that's   relatively impressive? Then they asked what type my family members were.   "Uhh...I have no idea." It's not like I've ever had to give one of  them  a blood transfusion. When asked what type most people in America  are I  had to reply again that I don't know that either and I'm pretty  sure  that the majority of people in America don't even know what their  own  blood type is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone said that most Japanese  people  have type O, so I thought maybe this was so interesting to them  because  most people in Japan had the same blood type and it was strange  if  someone had a different type? Especially type B; that one seemed to  get  singled out the most. Maybe it's really rare in Japan? Maybe there  is  just nothing else to talk about?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So  after  feeling pretty lost during the whole conversation I Google searched  "blood type Japan", to see if  there was a common blood type or  something. And what I found out is  that here and other parts of Asia  blood type is thought to be an  indicator of your personality. Kind of  like astrology in the West, but according to what I read, perhaps even  more prevalent.&amp;nbsp; There is even a Japanese word for harassment due to  blood type: "buruhara"(short and Japanese-icized for blood harassment).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This explains so much!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a link to an interesting article from BBC that I read about it:&lt;br /&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8646236.stm &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This also  explains why one day an option to add my blood type to my  Facebook  profile page mysteriously appeared.&amp;nbsp; I know they've been  updating the  format a lot recently, though this seemed like an  unnecessary bit of  personal medical information to be asking for. But  after some  comparative analysis I realized that the 'one day' it  appeared, not  coincidentally, happened to be the very day that I  arrived in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYOGOaIqJMc/TzsxB4SWvuI/AAAAAAAAAcE/6J_PlZAEGTc/s1600/My_Boyfriend_Is_Type_B_Poster.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYOGOaIqJMc/TzsxB4SWvuI/AAAAAAAAAcE/6J_PlZAEGTc/s400/My_Boyfriend_Is_Type_B_Poster.jpg" width="280" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Exhibit A: a   Korean romantic comedy called "My Boyfriend is Type-B".

Bueno, ya&amp;nbsp;Tino escribió algo&amp;nbsp;de esto.&amp;nbsp;Pero&amp;nbsp;pensé mucho antes! jaja Bueno,&amp;nbsp; ¿por qué pienso así? Porque las palabras que adquirí aquí, tiene relación con ustedes o sea adquirí español por las personas, mis familias y mis amigos. Por ejemplo cuando escucho la palabra “agenda” me acuerdo de mi papá Javier porque me la enseñó en abril primer día de mi trabajo y no me ha olvidado, me acuerdo muchas palabras con recuerdos de ustedes. Yo pienso que eso es adquirir idioma de forma natural. El camino de adquirir idioma no es estudiar o leer libros. El camino de adquirir idioma es un regalo de las personas que te rodean.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Escribí las palabras aquí, desde abril hasta enero y cada una palabra tiene historia con mi familia o mi amigo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;El libro te enseña muchas cosas pero fácil de olvidar. ¿Por qué? Porque el idioma nació para comunicar con la persona, no para leer libros. Entonces no vas a olvidar si aprendes el idioma por persona.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;A mí me tocó ver a varios estudiantes de YLP. Y por ejemplo mi hermanita Fernanda, hace mucho que no habla japonés en México pero en el WS, habló muy bonito pero muy bonito. Ella estaba poco nerviosa pero habló como cantando. Yo no voy a olvidar español porque eso es inolvidable, olvidar español significa olvidar ustedes hippo México. Yo nunca olvidaré mi familia, mis amigos y hippo México. Yo pienso que el idioma que has aprendido de forma natural nunca te va olvidar. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Así que yo pienso que hay muy muy fuerte relación entre el idioma y tu familia, tu amigo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Hablar varios idiomas&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Quiero comentar una cosa que cómo me siento ahora. El proceso de adquirir el idioma es muy interesante y está impresionante. Todavía no sabemos muchas cosas sobre eso, por eso muy interesante y me gusta mucho pensar y investigar eso. Mi experiencia de español también fue muy interesante porque realmente no me di cuenta ¿desde cuándo pude entender español? Siempre me estoy observando sobre el idioma. Porque….quiero saber cómo!! Ahora yo pienso que el proceso de adquirir el idioma es muy padre pero también no es una cosa especial o sea todos podemos hablar cualquier idioma si tienes medio ambiente. Y tenemos un medio ambiente multilingüe. Disfruta hablar, escuchar y comunicar en varios idiomas con tu familia y tus amigos que te rodean. Eso es único camino de adquirir idioma de forma natural y estamos haciendo eso, en club familiar hippo con amigos del todo mundo!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Quiero ser una persona multilingüe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;¿Por qué? Porque me gusta conocer la gente y conocer la gente es divertida y puedes aprender nueva cosa. Y cada vez que conozco una persona, me siento feliz, pasé varias experiencias y conocí muchas personas que las quiero durante…21 años toda mi vida y especialmente estos 10meses. Si puedo conocer cualquier país, cualquier idioma y cualquier persona, será muy padre ¿verdad? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Una persona multilingüe, como tino dice “somos Hippo yin (yin significa persona)”, es mi meta de ahora. Y para ser Hippo yin, siempre mantengo corazón abierto para toda la persona!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Arigatou&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;Hippo cambió la vida de muchas personas. Bueno ellos la cambiaron por su mismo con apoyo de hippo. Yo también soy una persona que cambié mi vida con hippo. Gracias a hippo y Gracias a mi familia por apoyarme, ayudarme y permitirme convivir con ustedes. Y lo siento me cometí muchos errores, me equivoque muchas veces. Pero aprendí de errores. Sin ustedes no podía lograr mi sueño.&amp;nbsp;Ya me voy a regresar a Japón pero somos una familia, una familia súper bonita. Siempre los quiero y algún día, espero que pronto nos veamos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;Siii!

En México había participado mucho en las actividades de Hippo y había escuchado muchísimo los CDs de Hippo en japonés, pero al llegar a Japón una tormenta de japonés me invadió y no puede entender una sola palabra, sin embrago, pensé, no hay problema pues soy socio de Hippo, al igual que mi host family y mis amigos así que me sentí mas relajado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Mi familia, compañeros de oficina y amigos de Japón&amp;nbsp; siempre me hablaban en japonés, y claro yo no podía entender, pero precisamente porque todos me hablaban en japonés fue que yo poco a poco pude entender y hablar el lenguaje de este genial país, lo interesante es que a veces hablo japonés como mi mama, otras veces como mis amigos o compañeros de la oficina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"&gt;Hace unos días yo estaba en la oficina concentrado trabajando mucho por supuesto, como siempre, y cerca de mi estaban unos compañeros platicando y yo estaba escuchando su conversación (no por chismoso) , de pronto solté una carcajada pues había escuchado algo que me provoco mucha risa, pero después de reírme como Dios manda, quede muy sorprendido pues la conversación de mis compañeros fue obviamente en japonés y yo pude entender todo, como lo hice? no lo se pero paso y desde ese día es muy frecuente que pueda entender casi todo sin esforzarme y casi como si estuviera escuchando español, claro aun hay muchísimo que no entiendo pero no me preocupa pues cada día toda la gente que me rodea, al saludarme o platicarme de su día, me regala mas y mas de su idioma.

Ya estamos en Diciembre! Qué rapido verdad? &lt;br /&gt;Hoy queremos compartir la actividad de "Baby Field" que hicimos en 6 de Diciembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9xoMjN8C4SM/TuEyVovLsrI/AAAAAAAAAPc/kump4tHINOw/s1600/DSCF2685.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9xoMjN8C4SM/TuEyVovLsrI/AAAAAAAAAPc/kump4tHINOw/s320/DSCF2685.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Empieza baby field!!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Bueno, primero explico "¿Qué es Baby Field?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;En Japón, una de las actividades de los grupos de Hippo es el baby field. En donde participan mamás y platican sus experiencias y descubrimientos al observar a sus hijos pequeños&amp;nbsp; adquirir su lengua materna dentro del medio ambiente de Hippo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Este es un intento por entender el mecanismo que llevan a los seres humanos a hablar y observar a los bebés es la manera más natural y hermosa de lograrlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En babyfield, platican sobre cerca de bebé. Por ejemplo "¿Comó aprendió hablar?" "¡Escuchan! ¡Mi hijo dijo muy interesante!" y comparten sus experiencias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y ¿por qué hacemos esa actividad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Como &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Sakacchan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; dice “Aprendemos de bebé” y “Ser natural”(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;shizen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; ni)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Y los bebes vive muy natural. Si observamos los bebes, podemos encontrar el secreto de natural. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y igual que Transnacional college of Lex llamado Torakare, Baby Field llamado Bebefi.&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué? porque los japoneses les gusta decir asi, palabra cortita.&lt;br /&gt;Aaa, tambien "Feliz año nuevo" en japonés es "AKEmashite OMEdetou".&lt;br /&gt;Pero también dicen "AKE OME" no sé porque pero hay muchas palabras cortitas como akeome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...perdon, regresamos a bebefi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tw27xP-zuLY/TuEyc4xJm2I/AAAAAAAAAPk/OiMBaxuxBf0/s1600/DSCF2684.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tw27xP-zuLY/TuEyc4xJm2I/AAAAAAAAAPk/OiMBaxuxBf0/s320/DSCF2684.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Estamos leyendo la experiencia de Ampuku-chan&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Hicimos&amp;nbsp; presentación de Qué es BabyField. Y escuchamos un prologo de Todos podemos hablar 7 idiomas (las experiencias de los socios de Hippo de Japón). También leimos la experiencia de Ampuku-chan que es fellow de Japón este año vino en el congreso de Cd. de México.&lt;br /&gt;Platicamos con esas cosas y nuestras experiencias. &lt;br /&gt;Fue súper interesante porque podiamos compartir mucho nuestra experiencia y nos hizo recordar muchas cosas de bebé.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pH8V80vDHUM/TuEyqQmzOUI/AAAAAAAAAPs/bHOp3HXbuCM/s1600/DSCF2686.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pH8V80vDHUM/TuEyqQmzOUI/AAAAAAAAAPs/bHOp3HXbuCM/s320/DSCF2686.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;¿Qué les pareció el baby field?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;después de la actividad, cada quien escribimos la impreción.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviamente fue muy interesante para las mamás, pero para todos socios de hippo también porque nosotros también somos bebés de varios idiomas que estamos adquiriendo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be nature!

Pero que hacemos en hippo camp? tu fuiste antes, no?&lt;br /&gt;●Miguel:Si si yo participe el año pasado y me gustó mucho. El objetivo del hippo camp es el poder convivir[] con socios de Hippo, sin olvidar las actividades multilingües que hacemos, es como un congreso.&lt;br /&gt;○Gori: Que padre! y escuche que tambien vamos a liberar las tortugas, si cierto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;●Miguel: Así es en el campamento año con año se liberan tortugas al mar, es una actividad que hacemos los socios de hippo para darle un toque especial al campamento, es como su distitivo. &lt;br /&gt;○Gori: Que bien! Apurate Miguel!! la playa esta esperandonos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_QlyLRSJ19Y/TsvzkHuNvpI/AAAAAAAAAOM/vN7AZ6MTTYM/s1600/DSCF4407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_QlyLRSJ19Y/TsvzkHuNvpI/AAAAAAAAAOM/vN7AZ6MTTYM/s320/DSCF4407.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Encontraron botella (en Rally)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;---Despues de campamento---&lt;br /&gt;●Miguel: Entonces Gori que te pareció el Hippo Camp?&lt;br /&gt;○Gori: Estuvo genial!! Hay que compartir nuestra experiencia, no?&lt;br /&gt;●Miguel: Si! Yo primero!&lt;br /&gt;Estuvo genial! Paticiparon socios de Hippo Cd. de México, Acapulco e Incluso Japón! Hemos podido hacer amigos facilmente! Disfrute de las diversas actividades que realizamos juntos.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Una de ellas que me gustó mucho fue el Rally Multilingüe, fue la primera vez que se hizo, nos dividimos en 4 equipos y trabajamos juntos! Resolviendo acertijos, cantando sonidos, buscando objetos, etc. Fue una actividad muy enriquecedora para todos! Y el toque final fue la liberación de tortugas, que se realizó al final del Rally, todos los socios nombrando a sus tortugas (Tacos, Midori, Kabajin, Catsup, etc.), fue muy divertido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tu Gori que tal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7kA_TpQQdos/Tsv1nE3_-uI/AAAAAAAAAOc/E74BCACOH78/s1600/DSCF4440.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7kA_TpQQdos/Tsv1nE3_-uI/AAAAAAAAAOc/E74BCACOH78/s200/DSCF4440.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Kamishibai de Shiho!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;○Gori: Pues mira, Fue muy divertido más que pensaba. Me gustó mucho liberar las tortugas porque fue un momento muy bonito. Estaba emocionado cuando libere a mis tortugas. Mis tortugas se llaman Tacos y Tequila. Todos estabamos muy feliz. Y en la noche hicimos fogata. Bailamos, comimos bombon y Hotdog y&amp;nbsp; platicamos mucho. Yo pude platicar con mis amigos de Hippo, pues los conocia antes pero esta vez pude conocer más de ellos y tambien platique con nueva persona. Asi que ya tengo nuevo amigo,&amp;nbsp; que padre! (como ichiro jajaja)&lt;br /&gt;Siguiente dia, nos levantamos temprano, y hicimos Radio Taisou (ejercicio para calentar). Y despues hicimos concurso de Kamishibai. Todos nos presentamos con Kamishibai. Y gano...SHIHO!!! (estudiante de YL). Yo pienso que nadie querian regresar a casa. Me gustó muchisimo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4LINN_6iGYA/Tsv6Bl-2w3I/AAAAAAAAAOk/MG9GeknfRSo/s1600/374686_2688008999919_1247256728_3236778_1296668815_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="165" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4LINN_6iGYA/Tsv6Bl-2w3I/AAAAAAAAAOk/MG9GeknfRSo/s200/374686_2688008999919_1247256728_3236778_1296668815_n.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Las tortugas y los hippopos&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;●Miguel: A mi tambien!

Vamos IV Hippo Camp Acapulco 2012!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;○Gori: Ya saben lo que es campamento de Acapulco, y es padrisimo, no?

Por HLS podemos（可能）con las personas que usan（使） Kanji. Aunque ellos（彼等） no saben（知） mucho español (por supuesto puede ser otro idioma también). &amp;nbsp;Utilizamos（利用） Alfabeto y Kanji los dos juntos（一緒）. Aquí está un ejemplo（例）: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;O sea puedes（可能） escribir（書） en español（西）, francés（仏）, alemán（独）, inglés（英） u otro idioma（言語） cualquiera CON los Kanjis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hYh67OD3jwo/TqiMfRu1ojI/AAAAAAAAAKI/VpZWdx6S-mw/s1600/170px-Hanzi_%2528traditional%2529.svg.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hYh67OD3jwo/TqiMfRu1ojI/AAAAAAAAAKI/VpZWdx6S-mw/s200/170px-Hanzi_%2528traditional%2529.svg.png" width="100" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Kanji" en Kanji&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;¿Qué es Kanji?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;El Kanji es un carácter que lo usa（使） en Asia, como Japón（日本）, Corea sur（韓国）, China（中国）, Taiwán（台湾） y Singapur. Kanji es origen China antigua, luego（後） extendió（拡散） otro país（国）. En el mundo（世界） hay 100 mil o más Kanjis, pero mayorías no usan（使）.　Por ejemplo（例） en Japón usan 2100 kanjis como básicos（基本）. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Kanji tiene（持） significado（意味） y sonido（音）. Aquí lo interesante es los cinco países（国） usan kanji y comparten（共有） significado de Kanji pero lean（読） diferente（違） sonidos. Por ejemplo: 川 que significa río, en Japón lo lean “kawa” mientras en China lo lean “chuan” y en corea lo lean “gang”. O sea lean mismo（同） kanji en sonido（音） de cada país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vaQIf4KtkE/TqmxrPQugVI/AAAAAAAAALA/H_RZx0_X4D0/s1600/IMG_1108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vaQIf4KtkE/TqmxrPQugVI/AAAAAAAAALA/H_RZx0_X4D0/s320/IMG_1108.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Hanna, AnaSofia y Rocio.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entonces ayer (25 de octubre) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KKfVpjvxZGM/TqiO4VVMcDI/AAAAAAAAAKo/EV1BplAN3yc/s1600/DSC07250.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En el sesión del martes（火曜）, club Apakabar, hicimos SADA y HLS!

Dr. Flynn is a professor of linguistics  and language acquisition at MIT in Boston and also a member of the LEX  America Board of Directors. Yesterday she gave a public lecture which  was attended by many Hippo members on raising multilingual children (and  becoming multilingual adults as well). The session also included a  lecture by Dr. Sakai, a Japanese brain researcher on language and the  brain, followed by a question and answer session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLS7ZElgvcU/Tp50TKcGQvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/aBviv6JxFQ0/s1600/310298_276160625740839_238276992862536_874912_1937307625_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLS7ZElgvcU/Tp50TKcGQvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/aBviv6JxFQ0/s320/310298_276160625740839_238276992862536_874912_1937307625_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I was one of the MCs, along with 3 other interns, and introduced myself  and facilitated parts of the session in English, Spanish and a little  Japanese. One of the new things I learned was how to thank a speaker and  solicit a round of applause from a Japanese audience: "Sakai sensei  arigato gozaimashita, mo ichido hakushuo onegai shimasu." (It worked,  everyone clapped!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Unfortunately, I couldn't understand any of Dr. Sakai's lecture in  Japanese, even though I wanted to, so I will focus on Dr. Flynn's, which  I did understand. In this lecture she outlined 10 principals of  language acquisition that sum up her years of research and also embody  the Hippo philosophy of language learning. It was interesting to think  about her points as they apply to the way that I am learning Japanese  right now. One of the things that came up in the question and answer  session was how speaking a different language can change one's  perception of self-identity, as many of the year-long exchange students  have expressed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I felt a little like this when I was in Mexico, that there was a  Stephanie who spoke English and was a university student in Madison,  Wisconsin and a little bit different 'Estefani' or 'la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;güera' (the blond girl) as I was often referred to c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="head_word" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;ariñosamente &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;in  Mexico, who spoke (rather broken) Spanish. I think this was because a  lot of your self-identity has to do with how you express yourself and  interact with others. In Spanish, I wasn't able to express things like  sarcasm or wit in the same way that I could in English, so the way that I  communicated and interacted with people was a little different. I was a  lot more direct and concise and probably smiled and laughed a lot more  when I couldn't respond well in words. I still get a little frustrated  sometimes when I am trying to express a very complex idea in Spanish,  but someone in Japan told me the other day that when I have a  conversation with someone in Spanish I get really excited and  expressive. I hadn't really thought about this but I know that the tone  and rhythm of my voice changes, and maybe that expression is embedded  within the language itself, or maybe it's just because I love speaking  in Spanish. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Dr. Flynn's response was that this is because language is more than  simply words and grammar, and contains a lot of cultural expression as  well; especially when someone acquires a language in a natural immersion  environment, it's very strongly connected to the culture and people  that the language comes from. My own experience supports this  completely. Dr. Flynn also mentioned body language, which is intertwined  with spoken words when communicating in a certain language. In Japan I  have noticed that I automatically bow slightly or nod my head forward  when I say things like "hai", "arigato", "yoroshiku onegai shimasu",  just like native Japanese people do. I was never taught to do this, but  it seems to me that the body motion is almost a part of the word itself,  just like the sounds that come from one's mouth, and it comes  naturally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;す－ちゃん&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-1949171603027121250?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/1949171603027121250/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/dr-suzanne-flynns-visit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/1949171603027121250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/1949171603027121250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/dr-suzanne-flynns-visit.html' title='Dr. Suzanne Flynn&apos;s Visit'/><author><name>Stephanie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14653245943992268326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLS7ZElgvcU/Tp50TKcGQvI/AAAAAAAAAM8/aBviv6JxFQ0/s72-c/310298_276160625740839_238276992862536_874912_1937307625_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-1673578263472056810</id><published>2011-10-12T14:51:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-23T14:51:39.513+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Learning Like A Baby</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M7PwWiaF2hw/TpZXiAuSORI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/1_NibFRRAdY/s1600/clip_image001.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M7PwWiaF2hw/TpZXiAuSORI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/1_NibFRRAdY/s200/clip_image001.jpg" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The Hippo philosophy is to acquire languages naturally, through immersion.&amp;nbsp;I didn’t study Japanese before coming to Japan, except looking at a few books about the basic structure of the language out of curiosity, so the way that I’m learning is by listening, observing, and repeating. &amp;nbsp;As Yo Sakakibara, the founder of Hippo writes, the Hippo experience is “one of adults experiencing what it is to be a baby,” and this is exactly what I’m doing. I had known this before coming to Japan but it’s really different to experience it first hand. Not only am I learning in the way that a child&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;learns, but I am acquiring language in the same pattern that a child does. The first words that a little kid learns are things like: mom, dad, hi, bye, hot, cold, happy, tired, you, me, want, like, go, eat, this, that, what, where. This is also pretty much the first set of vocabulary that I've acquired in Japanese, without even meaning to. &amp;nbsp;It made me realize that these are some of the first words that a child (or an adult immersed in a foreign language environment) acquires, not because they are the easiest, but because they are the most necessary, useful, and frequently heard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I’m actually amazed at how much can be conveyed and understood with just a few words, and how even learning one new word allows me to express a whole range of new ideas. For example, the other day I learned that the ending –tai means to want. By applying this to the things I could already express like, “I eat”, “I go”, etc., I can now say “I want to eat this or that”, “I want to go there”, ect. Perhaps my sentences are not grammatically correct, but I can express the idea, and this is what is important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yGBBmrpqZEI/TpZUbxiyhxI/AAAAAAAAAMs/K2J_D9G7Z0o/s1600/notebook+-+food.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yGBBmrpqZEI/TpZUbxiyhxI/AAAAAAAAAMs/K2J_D9G7Z0o/s320/notebook+-+food.jpg" width="252" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;“Kore-wa Nihongo-de nan-to i-imasu ka?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Words learned at the dining room table&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I try to use the simple phrases I am learning in Japanese as much as possible with my host family when we are eating or doing things around the house so I practice and remember them, and they are very patient with me. One of the first things I learned from my host mom was how to say “Kore-wa Nihongo-de nan-to i-imasu ka? (How do you say this in Japanese?),” which is one of the most useful phrases as you begin to discover the world around you in a new language, just like a little kid learning to talk for the first time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'MS PGothic'; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The Hippo office is also a really great learning environment. Since we have 5 interns from different countries, it’s naturally a multi-lingual environment and we are all learning together and from each other. Yufu-chan always says things first in Japanese and then English or Spanish if I don’t understand. This is helpful because even if I might not understand something in Japanese at first, every time I hear it, it becomes more recognizable and I understand more. Miyuki-chan went with me on the subway one day and I was pointing out to her the Japanese kanji that I was beginning to recognize in the station. She was just as excited about and interested in the way that I was learning as I was. She said I was just like a little kid, excitedly stopping along the way to point out something that I could understand. That’s how I felt too! Now every time I see her at the office she asks me what new thing I have learned and I can proudly show her my notebook with some new name or kanji I have discovered the meaning of.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;

Yo quiero seguir aprendiendo muchos idiomas para poder hablar muchisimo con mis amigos de todo el mundo y poder ayudar cuando se necesite, por eso es importante el lenguaje para animar y ayudar.&lt;br /&gt;Hello!!&lt;br /&gt;I will tell you about mu experience in Morioka, the last week. But befor that, let`s remember some things.&lt;br /&gt;On march 11of 2011 the Tohoku area in Japan was shaken by a big earthquake and tsunami. A lot of people lost all their things and maybe their family. People from all over the world showed support and prayed for Japan. And a few days ago i was able to give a little help in person on the "Ganbaro Tohoku Workshop".&lt;br /&gt;In the workshop we heard very sad stories told by the members that used to live in the damaged zones, but we can see how little by little they are moving forward.&lt;br /&gt;Hippo is a big family an because of this we all support each other, this was the purpose the "Ganbaro Workshop" (ganbaro its means something like "encourage" or "let`s go"), the workshop could not be held in Sendai (the most affected zone) becouse, there is not an area for big events yet, so the workshop was in Morioka, a nearby city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqhM_66STj0/TpUH9f1GREI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/yv5vY7WcFfY/s1600/IMG_0781.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-transition-delay: initial; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: initial; clear: right; color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqhM_66STj0/TpUH9f1GREI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/yv5vY7WcFfY/s200/IMG_0781.jpg" style="-webkit-border-image: url(data:image/png; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 9px; border-color: initial; border-image: url(data:image/png; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 9px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 9px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 9px; border-width: initial; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 10px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Haruka, Rin y Kai-Chan&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The event was held last monday but i arrived in Morioka on saturday and it was a great experience.&lt;br /&gt;My host family was the Atsuji family: my mom Kyoko, father Hiroaki, little brother Rin (10 years old) and two sisters Haruka (13) and Kai-Chan (6) they are excellent persons. My mother is a very active person she works for a agriculture company and my father is really cool and he cooked breakfast once!&lt;br /&gt;Mi little brother and sisters helped me so much and spent time with me, especially my sister Kai-Chan, she was always with me and together we played games (like "loteria") and also she helped me to read so i called her "Kai-chan Sensei" she was very happy because she could teach me new words.&lt;br /&gt;The house was so great with a traditional japanese style and a big garden, the floor of my room was made of "tatami" an it was a big house, i really like the city of Morioka, its very quiet and small (like Chihuahua) and the citizens are very educated and friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPAD2F_UCXI/TpT9ITnuDqI/AAAAAAAAAJU/OfvJWlMqAgY/s1600/IMG_0813.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-transition-delay: initial; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: initial; clear: left; color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hPAD2F_UCXI/TpT9ITnuDqI/AAAAAAAAAJU/OfvJWlMqAgY/s200/IMG_0813.jpg" style="-webkit-border-image: url(data:image/png; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 9px; border-color: initial; border-image: url(data:image/png; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 9px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 9px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 9px; border-width: initial; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 10px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;My name in Thai&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;On the saturday there was a Hippo activity getting ready for the WS. On sunday i went to a conference and in the evening to a party where i could see my friend Jiro, he was in Chihuahua the last year and this year he came back to Japan,, also i met many people, for example Phan, he is from Thailand and now he is studying in the high school in Japan. It was so fun!, and finally monday was the "Gambaro Workshop" where many hippo members shared experiences and we all had fun and showed support for the people of northern Japan.&lt;br /&gt;I can not speak japanese very well yet, but it doesn`t matter because in Hippo i learned the human language and i could comunicate very well with everybody and understand many things.&lt;br /&gt;I want to go on learning languages in order to be able to speak a lot with my friends around the world and to help when it is necesary. This is why language is important it allows you to show support and to help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: right;"&gt;Tino&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: right;"&gt;ティノより&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-6759517727089452047?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/6759517727089452047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2012/02/ws-ganbaro-tohoku.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6759517727089452047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6759517727089452047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2012/02/ws-ganbaro-tohoku.html' title='がんばろう 東北 WS Ganbaro Tohoku!!!'/><author><name>Constantino B。 (Tino) ティノ　Intern from Mexico</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10406084212377869199</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A6rO8TE6k2s/TpT8C9xte_I/AAAAAAAAAIs/kiWbQjvLiBU/s72-c/japon+tsunami%25E3%2581%25AE%25E3%2582%25B3%25E3%2583%2594%25E3%2583%25BC.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>日本, 東京都</georss:featurename><georss:point>35.6894875 139.6917064</georss:point><georss:box>35.2768075 139.0599924 36.1021675 140.32342039999997</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-428146808722366816</id><published>2011-10-11T06:16:00.008+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-21T11:48:21.093+09:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LEX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hippo Family Club'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Language'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Multilingualism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internship'/><title type='text'>Ichigo Ichie - 一期一会</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b-PtILGc9vo/TpNnh5rkB3I/AAAAAAAAAIc/m7i6HTv3blE/s1600/DSCF1671.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;¡Hola! ¿Cómo están todos?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b-PtILGc9vo/TpNnh5rkB3I/AAAAAAAAAIc/m7i6HTv3blE/s1600/DSCF1671.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b-PtILGc9vo/TpNnh5rkB3I/AAAAAAAAAIc/m7i6HTv3blE/s200/DSCF1671.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;Soy Gori. Bueno, mi nombre real es Yuki Aratani. Pero me gusta que me digan Gori. Ya escribí otro día sobre mí y por qué vine México etc. Y ahora estoy en Chihuahua. Y trabajando en la oficina de Chihuahua con Nayiba (mi mama) y Lairen. Son muy amables y trabajan muchísimo igual que la oficina de México DF! Pues creo que la oficina de Japón también, ¿verdad los JEPs? Así que yo también tengo mucho trabajo. Quiero más tiempo. Quiero un día seria 30horas. Para dormir más jajaja Bueno, Ya pasó 6meses aquí México. Ahora quiero compartir mi experiencia y también quiero que me digas tu impresión de mi historia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5ckV52TZeAc/TpNRzNYMrNI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Ng5LFHYLb4A/s1600/DSCF1778.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5ckV52TZeAc/TpNRzNYMrNI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Ng5LFHYLb4A/s200/DSCF1778.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Un día cocinamos el &lt;i&gt;Okonomiyaki&lt;/i&gt; estilo &lt;i&gt;Hiroshima&lt;/i&gt;. El &lt;i&gt;okonomiyaki&lt;/i&gt; es origen &lt;i&gt;Osaka&lt;/i&gt;. Y estilo de &lt;i&gt;Hiroshima&lt;/i&gt; tiene la&lt;i&gt; Yakisoba &lt;/i&gt;(como la pasta). Yo no cocino mucho como hamburguesa, Ramen, quesadilla etc. así que poco a poco aprendiendo cocinar también. Eso también experimento. Pero comimos rico! Bueno, yo comí rico jajaja&amp;nbsp; Me gusta mucho mi familia y mi casa. Pero mi casa es poca rara. Porque tenemos todas cosas para hacer el &lt;i&gt;Okonomiyaki&lt;/i&gt;, hasta el &lt;i&gt;Katsuo bushi&lt;/i&gt;! Estaba asombrado. Pues mi casa de DF también tenemos todo. La próxima vez, voy a intentar cocinar el &lt;i&gt;Oyako don&lt;/i&gt; (pollo con huevo en arroz). Y yo y Mama siempre hablamos en la noche, sobre Hippo. Eso me ayuda mucho para saber "Qué es Hippo" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LD09zPi_rfA/TpNSOgua4_I/AAAAAAAAAIU/wiwU_WEkNgo/s1600/DSCF1763.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LD09zPi_rfA/TpNSOgua4_I/AAAAAAAAAIU/wiwU_WEkNgo/s1600/DSCF1763.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LD09zPi_rfA/TpNSOgua4_I/AAAAAAAAAIU/wiwU_WEkNgo/s200/DSCF1763.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LD09zPi_rfA/TpNSOgua4_I/AAAAAAAAAIU/wiwU_WEkNgo/s1600/DSCF1763.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LD09zPi_rfA/TpNSOgua4_I/AAAAAAAAAIU/wiwU_WEkNgo/s1600/DSCF1763.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Fui feria del libro con mis amigos de Hippo. Ya fui 3veces ahí. Y encontramos los libros de Torakare, o sea “&lt;b&gt;¿Qué es la mecánica cuántica?&lt;/b&gt;” y “&lt;b&gt;Aventuras con Fourier&lt;/b&gt;”. Ya somos famosos. De hecho ahorita unos chavos vienen a Hippo por los libros de &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Torakare&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; Pero uno de estos dice “Yo Sakakib&lt;span style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;u&lt;/span&gt;ra…” se equivocaron. Bueno, lo importa es dentro. Todavía no he leído todos pero estos libros son muy interesantes. En Japón, temporada de otoño dicen "Dokusho no Aki" (leer mucho en otoño) así que vamos a leer! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0m4P5xRixdE/TpNTros44EI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_MqzhgEqqbo/s1600/DSCF1725.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0m4P5xRixdE/TpNTros44EI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_MqzhgEqqbo/s1600/DSCF1725.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0m4P5xRixdE/TpNTros44EI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_MqzhgEqqbo/s200/DSCF1725.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"&gt;　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　&lt;/span&gt;En US Customs and Border Protectionen / El paso (TEXAS) - Juares (México) fui a el paso para sacar nuevo permiso de México. Todo el tiempo de ese día usé para sacar mi permiso. Ahi muchas personas me preocuparon. Doumo Arigatou. Me gusta mucho cultura México de que habla con todos aunque es desconocido. Ahi conocimos (foto) porque esperabamos muchisimo tiempo. Mi papa miguel me ayudo mucho. Y ya tengo permiso de México. Por fin...jajaja&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Y sobre el idioma. Me interesa muchísimo el humano como aprende el lenguaje. Ahora ya pasó 6meses desde que llegué aquí en México. Y me siento siempre, “escuchar y entender crecen más rápido que hablar” y tambien “hablar y escuchar crecen juntos” &amp;nbsp;yo pienso que si no hablo, la posibilidad de escuchar no se va a crecer. Al raves también, si no escucho, la posibilidad de hablar no se va a crecer. Por eso Metakatsu es muy importante para hablar. Porque podemos hacer los dos.Y los bebes hacen escuchar y hablar, no? aunque no habla bien. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sin embargo hay más importante para hablar el lenguaje del humano. Eso es la persona. Si tienes la persona que quieres hablar. Tu lenguaje se va a crecer muy rápido. Porque nosotros hablamos para entendernos, comunicarnos, ¿verdad? O sea el idioma existe para comunicarnos. Si nada más estudias, yo pienso que tu lenguaje no se va a crecer. Porque el idioma está entre de las personas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Y para hablar y entender necesitamos escuchar las materiales, pues también puede ser las novelas, las películas, las programas de Televisión etc. en varios idiomas, gracias a internet, podemos tener medio ambiente de varios idiomas más fácil que antes. Si no escuchamos el idioma, no podemos tener sonido del idioma porque vivimos en medio ambiente del español no como la de India que tiene medio ambiente de varios idiomas. Yo pienso que si puedes aprender las palabras por la persona, libro o internet como escuela. Pero eso es nada más la palabra. El sonido, la onda es lo más importante para hablar el idioma. ¿Por qué? &amp;nbsp;De verdad, no sé ¿por qué? Pero por las experiencias de socios de Hippo incluyendo mía, podemos decir “Sonido del idioma es muy importante para hablar y entender idioma” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Yo conocía un estudiante mexicano que estudiaba japonés 2años en el D.F. pero me gusta más japonés de Hippo como canta y habla ustedes. Tienes onda de japonés, sonido de japonés. Me da gusto escucharlo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;bueno, pero ya saviamos que lo más importante es "Corazón Abierto" "Kokoro wo Hiraite" "Open your heart"&amp;nbsp; Eso es estilo de Hippo verdad?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Hay un dicho de Japonés me gusta mucho.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ichigo ichie&lt;/b&gt; : &lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="JA" style="font-family: &amp;quot;MS Mincho&amp;quot;;"&gt;一期一会&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="JA"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;(Dice ichigo pero no es la fresa jajaja)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Significa “Cada momento es única, y nunca repetirá, por eso cada oportunidad es importante para ti” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Me queda solo 100dias más o menos. Disfruto cada momento con muchas ganas! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Viva México!

Not in a class but from everything around me. Rather than sitting in a classroom, I sit at the dinner table with my host family or at my desk at work. My best teachers aren't licensed professionals but 12 year old kids. My homework is trying to figure out what a sign says when I'm trying to get somewhere or understand what my coworkers are talking about during lunch. And my tests are when I have to order at a restaurant or ask someone how to find the right train in the subway station.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;This way of learning is never boring! It's always an adventure, though it's not always easy. Sometimes it can be really frustrating not being able to follow a conversation or understand what someone is trying to ask me or express something I want to say in Japanese.&amp;nbsp; But I have to remind myself that I started learning Japanese when I arrived here, only three months ago, so that makes me a three-month old in terms of Japanese. When I think of it that way and focus on what I do know and understand rather than what I don't, I think I am doing pretty well. I'm even beginning to become literate!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g7OC8ZjFbos/TumCRwGZT9I/AAAAAAAAAQM/pv0jtYnlLwM/s1600/IMG_2226.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g7OC8ZjFbos/TumCRwGZT9I/AAAAAAAAAQM/pv0jtYnlLwM/s400/IMG_2226.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;My first piece of Japanese literature... you have to start somewhere!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cwlVgFzXWCQ/TumCQT7CRFI/AAAAAAAAAQE/VYQ2g5zGqXk/s1600/IMG_2225.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cwlVgFzXWCQ/TumCQT7CRFI/AAAAAAAAAQE/VYQ2g5zGqXk/s400/IMG_2225.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr align="center"&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption"&gt;Can  you guess what this says? It's probably easier than you think. I  recognized these characters but couldn't remember exactly which sounds  they stand for. I knew that the first character sounds like "ko" and the  second was either "ah" or "oh". This is a picture of a koala, and there  is no "l" sound in Japanese so that means it must be "ko ah RA!" Now you can read three hiragana characters!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N21DDRNNyzo/TumCTGVzDaI/AAAAAAAAAQU/ZsJLYan3i9Y/s1600/IMG_2233.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N21DDRNNyzo/TumCTGVzDaI/AAAAAAAAAQU/ZsJLYan3i9Y/s400/IMG_2233.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;One of my host sister's friends, Karen-chan, has English class at school and sometimes comes over so I can help her with her homework. It's really great because I think I learn as much in Japanese as she does in English. I try to understand what the directions say in Japanese in order to help her decide how the sentences need to be written in English, so we are both figuring it out at the same time. She's a really good teacher because she's patient and helps me read the Japanese sentences slowly. When I don't understand a word in Japanese she tries to tell me the English word, and when she doesn't understand and English word I try to find the word in Japanese. When we can't, we look it up in the dictionary and then we've both learned something new!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J7SP1sgQZdk/TumBhCkVBOI/AAAAAAAAAPs/xzCQArd_o1o/s400/IMG_1560.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Karen-chan and her brother Go-chan&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vfTEgWRsSrs/TumBkZAnliI/AAAAAAAAAP0/iKwKlrOk_74/s1600/IMG_1561.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vfTEgWRsSrs/TumBkZAnliI/AAAAAAAAAP0/iKwKlrOk_74/s400/IMG_1561.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Karen-chan's English homework and my Japanese notes&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqBGY6jOKJU/TumBnzzNJ-I/AAAAAAAAAP8/Q0mCOqs0vhw/s1600/IMG_1573.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqBGY6jOKJU/TumBnzzNJ-I/AAAAAAAAAP8/Q0mCOqs0vhw/s400/IMG_1573.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Karen-chan teaching me how to write hiragana and kanji characters&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-7491807205838151770?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/7491807205838151770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/learning.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/7491807205838151770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/7491807205838151770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/learning.html' title='Learning 日本語'/><author><name>Stephanie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14653245943992268326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g7OC8ZjFbos/TumCRwGZT9I/AAAAAAAAAQM/pv0jtYnlLwM/s72-c/IMG_2226.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-6141134964159728890</id><published>2011-10-08T14:53:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-23T14:54:03.964+09:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Home in Japan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6YwFR3UjV4/TpAh_qrACdI/AAAAAAAAAII/mePYRTPXcwc/s1600/view+from+apartment.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6YwFR3UjV4/TpAh_qrACdI/AAAAAAAAAII/mePYRTPXcwc/s320/view+from+apartment.JPG" width="212" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I’ve now been in Japan a few weeks and I’m getting settled into everything here. I live with my host mom, Toshiko, host dad, Hideharu, and host sister Asuka in Wako-shi, in Saitama prefecture. My host dad is in the military so we live in an apartment complex near a military base. It’s a really nice area since it’s near a big park, there are lots of trees, and on a good day we can see Mt. Fuji from the balcony! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Before I arrived in Japan, I saw on my host family’s application that they had a pet squirrel, which I thought was most likely a slight mistranslation for hamster, however when I arrived I was surprised to find that ‘squirrel’ was indeed a fairly accurate translation. He is actually a chipmunk and his name is Cha-Cha. My host mom explained that in Japanese the word for the color&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKEQtqPmuao/TpAfMlT6MdI/AAAAAAAAAIA/O9VJCZ0lCjo/s1600/chacha.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="130" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aKEQtqPmuao/TpAfMlT6MdI/AAAAAAAAAIA/O9VJCZ0lCjo/s200/chacha.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Our pet, Cha-Cha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;brown is Cha-iro, so Cha-Cha means something like Brownie. Now I will always remember how to say brown in Japanese.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;My host family helps me a lot and is patient with me as I’m learning how things work. Part of my host dad’s job is working as an English translator, so he is able to explain more complicated things to me in English. He's been all around the world with the military &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JTAlGJ6ZOZs/TpAdkbjohVI/AAAAAAAAAH4/nawatuUmBL4/s1600/IMG_1452.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JTAlGJ6ZOZs/TpAdkbjohVI/AAAAAAAAAH4/nawatuUmBL4/s320/IMG_1452.JPG" width="246" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Ice skating with my host mom and sister&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;and has lots of photos and stories. My host mom also speaks English and has been to Wisconsin several times since she has a friend who lives there! She often says things in Japanese though, which is really good&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;for me as I’m beginning to learn the language, and she always answers my questions and teaches me new words. The more times I hear something, the easier it is to recognize and understand the next time. My host sister Asuka is almost 11 years old and her favorite things are playing soccer andwatching Pokemon. She doesn’t speak as much English as my host parents so this makes me want to learn more Japanese so that I can talk more with her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-htzgz2DY5SI/TpAeFZr-w-I/AAAAAAAAAH8/yJxnHtBTRJk/s1600/hideharu.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-htzgz2DY5SI/TpAeFZr-w-I/AAAAAAAAAH8/yJxnHtBTRJk/s200/hideharu.jpg" width="141" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;My host dad eating onigiri for lunch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Being in Japan makes me really want to be able to communicate in Japanese, even though I came here knowing almost nothing. Though at first is seemed a little overwhelming, learning Japanese has become kind of a new hobby for me. When you stop worrying about how hard it seems or everything you can’t understand yet and focus on the things you can recognize or express, it’s interesting and rewarding, kind of like a puzzle that I’m figuring out little by little. Every day I am learning new things from everything around me. It’s great to be in the kind of encouraging environment that exists in the Hippo Family Clubs, the Hippo office, and my host family. It makes it easy to learn new things when you are not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes and there are so many people willing to help you who are excited about the progress you are making. I think this is one of the really great things about Hippo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdzDAdqq2RM/TpAg3z9jDFI/AAAAAAAAAIE/w3h6u5abCvc/s1600/Hippo+30th+anniversary.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kdzDAdqq2RM/TpAg3z9jDFI/AAAAAAAAAIE/w3h6u5abCvc/s320/Hippo+30th+anniversary.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Hippo 30th Anniversary Workshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;A few days after I arrived, there was a big workshop and party for the Hippo 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Anniversary. There were about 700 people at the workshop and when I got there I learned that I was to go on the stage and introduce myself to everyone in Japanese! I was nervous because I don’t know very much Japanese yet at all, but I knew how to introduce myself from the Hippo Family Club activities that I attended in Mexico last summer and I repeated it over and over to myself before I went on stage. I’m sure what I said wasn’t perfect, but the important thing is that everyone understood what I was trying to communicate and it was really amazing to see 700 people smiling back at me and applauding!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGcluKOk0Uk/TpAibrLqJ-I/AAAAAAAAAIM/ztYdz9lu5CA/s1600/view+of+military+base.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGcluKOk0Uk/TpAibrLqJ-I/AAAAAAAAAIM/ztYdz9lu5CA/s400/view+of+military+base.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;View from our apartment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;-Stephanie (すちゃん)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-6141134964159728890?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/6141134964159728890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/ive-now-been-in-japan-few-weeks-and-im.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6141134964159728890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/6141134964159728890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/10/ive-now-been-in-japan-few-weeks-and-im.html' title='A New Home in Japan'/><author><name>Stephanie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14653245943992268326</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f6YwFR3UjV4/TpAh_qrACdI/AAAAAAAAAII/mePYRTPXcwc/s72-c/view+from+apartment.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-24607107123197718</id><published>2011-09-29T14:55:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-23T14:55:36.154+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello!

Last summer I had the opportunity to be a Hippo intern in Mexico for 3 months and it was an amazing experience. I met so many people there, not only from Mexico but also Japan, with &lt;i&gt;corazones abiertos&lt;/i&gt; (open hearts) and learned so much that &lt;i&gt;me anim&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;ó&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"&gt; irme como intern a Jap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;ó&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"&gt;, and I decided to apply to for the Hippo internship in Japan.

Esta enormeeee y muy bonitoo!! Me sorprendiii!! Conocí muchos lugares, la biblioteca, los salones, la cafetería, la cancha, el parque…etc. &amp;nbsp;Y también conocí &amp;nbsp;unas personas del CELE. Es que me intereso mucho como es CELE, como es los estudiantes del CELE. Por eso yo fui a CELE con mi amigo de la iglesia que esta cerca de mi casa. Primero, la señora que estaba en frente de la puerta del CELE, nos dijo que “no pueden entrar si no dejan el credencial.” Bueno los dejamos y entramos en el dentro. Asi que CELE esta muy cerrado. Allí hay muchos asiáticos, especialmente mas los coreanos. Entonces nosotros hablamos con los coreanos, los chinos y los japoneses. Por supuesto en español, coreano, chino y japonés. Porque soy de Hippo jajaja. Fue padre. Pero me sentí poco feo. Porque los chinos estaban juntos los chinos, los coreanos y los japoneses también. ¿Por qué? … allí aprendí una cosa muy importante. Eso es que medio ambiente de Hippo y las personas de Hippo es padrísimo y no es normal. Creo que la vida de CELE es muuy normal. Todos quieren estar con la persona de su pais porque eso es mas facil que conocer “Extranjero”. Pero en Hippo no existe la palabra “Extranjero”. Porque somos humanos, hablamos el idioma del humano, tenemos dos ojos, una boca, dos manos... SOY YO, Y ERES TU. No importa de donde viene, que idioma habla, verdad? Asi como la cinta de Sonoko chan, Naceba Naru, Querer es Poder. Yo pienso que una emoción “quiero conocerte” es mas importante que poder hablar el idioma. Y quitamos la frontera del país y el idioma. Ellos saben hablar español, pero no viven como los mexicanos. Desde se llegaron aquí, hasta se regresan a sus países, ellos son “extranjeros”. Es muy triste no? creo que no tienen amigos mexicanos como yo. También muuy Mottainai!! Están tirando muchas maravillosas oportunidades. yo conoci muchas personas muy muy bonita y muy importamte para mi y para mi vida futuro. Ahora yo quiero decir una palabra otra vez para mi familia y Hippo. Gracias y Arigatou. Yo estoy muy feliz. Y los quiero mucho!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;昨日、UNAM（&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;）に行って来ました。&lt;br /&gt;UNAMはもの凄い規模の大学なんですが、その中でもCELEというidiomaを扱っている学部はどんな雰囲気なのか、どんな人たちがいるのか興味があってそこに教会の友達と行ってきました。&lt;br /&gt;そこにはアジアの人たち特に韓国の人がたくさんいて、もちろんいろんな言葉でやりとりしました。&lt;br /&gt;hippoではどこから来たとか何語をしゃべるとか関係なく、僕は僕、君は君　でコミュニケーションをとっている。そこに外国人、外国語は存在しない。でも普通、CELEみたいなところでは日本人は日本人同士と一緒にいて壁をつくってる。それってすごくもったいないし、なんのためにEspanolを学んでいるのかって疑問に思う。言葉を超えてコミュニケーションとるためじゃないの？？って&lt;br /&gt;こっちに来てからヒッポ漬けで、ヒッポの考え方、Ideaが当たり前になっていたけど、実はものすごいことだったんだなって改めて思い、これからもっと多言語人間としてやっていこうと心にきめました。やっぱり多言語って楽しくね？って思った一日でした。ありがとうHippo！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3688674898194058205-8390407071161254502?l=lexintern.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/feeds/8390407071161254502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/09/en-el-celecentro-de-ensenanza-de.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/8390407071161254502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3688674898194058205/posts/default/8390407071161254502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lexintern.blogspot.com/2011/09/en-el-celecentro-de-ensenanza-de.html' title='En el CELE(Centro de Enseñanza de Lenguas Extranjeras) del UNAM'/><author><name>LEX Intern Around The World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08526674424364023584</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r_FbvWp6Yrc/TlWX9nST8OI/AAAAAAAAAGE/AIlT-lPI0LQ/s220/logo%2Bavion.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kng3u8eCmUY/TmpZZhVghYI/AAAAAAAAAGw/Ey9qNhTi6PM/s72-c/DSCF1514.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688674898194058205.post-5705276132915741649</id><published>2011-09-09T14:44:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2012-02-21T14:52:13.939+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Tadaima !

&lt;![endif]--&gt;  &lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nihao! Soy Yuki Aratani… ¿Mande? ¿No me saben? Bueno, soy Gori. Ya me saben? jajaja&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Soy intern, ahora trabajo en la oficina de HippoMéxico. (Abril 2011 – Enero 2012). Tengo 20años y estoy en tercer grade de universidad de Japón. Desde que era pequeño, soy miembro de club familiar Hippo. Creo que desde que tenía 6 meses. Entré a Hippo con mi mama. Por eso crecí con mis amigos de Hippo. También participé a intercambio. Yo fui a Corea sur, Rusia, Taiwán, Texas y ahora México. Por su puesto también recibimos muchas personas de otro país a mi casa. Ustedes bien saben, cada uno de intercambio de Hippo fue muy padre y muy divertido. Por ejemplo, hace 10años cuando yo tenía 10años, un chico coreano que tenía 10años igual que yo vino a mi casa. Todo el tiempo de intercambio, creo que se quedó 2semanas, nosotros jugamos mucho y no había problema. Bueno, sobre comunicación, a veces nos luchamos horribles. No tengo idea como comunicamos. Porque no sabíamos tanto palabras, yo no savia coreano mucho, él tampoco savia japonés mucho. Además nosotros hicimos nuestro idioma solo para nosotros, otra persona no va a entender. Y eso fue muy divertido. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yo pienso que objetivo de Hippo no es “hablar idioma” sino es “comunicarse cualquier persona”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Por eso podemos conocer muchas personas, es padrísimo. Muchas personas no tienen oportunidad de conocer tantas personas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bueno, ya llevo 4meses aquí. Mi tiempo de intern se acabó la mitad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ahora voy a platicar rápido por que vine México. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore;"&gt;1.&lt;span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Quería conocer&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;“Que es vida de humano”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;Porque en Japón, yo los vi muchos trabajadores que están cansado, muy serios y trabajan como máquina. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Pensé que no &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;disfrutan la vida. Yo no quiero ser como ellos. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Y también escuché experiencia de los intercambios de México. Todos me dice que los mexicanos disfrutan todo y viviendo verdadera humano, Quiero vivir por siempre en México…etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;Por eso pensé que puedo encontrar la respuesta, si yo conozco a México y mexicanos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore;"&gt;2.&lt;span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Quería saber “Los bebes cómo aprenden idioma”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;Yo quería tener experiencia como bebe mexicano. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore;"&gt;3.&lt;span style="font: 7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Quería conocer Hippo México y también quería conocer los hippopos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"&gt;Porque me gusta Hippo muchísimo. Pero todavía no sé todo de Hippo, creo que nunca acabo aprender “que es Hippo”. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mi trabajo es hacer las cosas para intercambio, ayudar sesión, presentar “Que es Hippo” etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;A veces trabajo es muy difícil porque trabajo de Hippo es trabajo de persona. No es como compañía de viaje, ni escuela de idioma. Pero también Hippo es muy interesante. Aprendí muchas cosas desde pensamiento de Hippo. Siempre me da nueva idea&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;sobre idioma, vida, humano. Por eso&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;me gusta mucho y lo disfruto mucho. Hippo es padrisisisisimo! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Voy a trabajar más para Hippo, claro para mí mismo también. Gracias a Hippo por tener vida maravillosa. Y mucho gusto.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Disfrutamos a Hippo! &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Yoroshikune! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Chihuahua y soy estudiante universitario, además soy socio de Hippo Family Club en México, un club donde de forma simultanea se aprenden varios idiomas junto a muchos amigos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Yo soy algo nuevo en el club apenas voy a cumplir 2 años como socio, sin embargo desde que entré me entusiasme mucho con todas las actividades que se realizan y sobre todo con los diferentes tipos de intercambios que se manejan, a más de 26 países. En&amp;nbsp; Hippo es muy fácil crear lazos de amistad con personas de todo el mundo, y es gracias al programa de homestay donde todos podemos ser como un integrante más de la familia que nos recibe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Uno de los programas de intercambio es el de Year Long, donde jóvenes de entre 15 a 17 años estudian un año en un país extranjero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Este año van a participar 4 chicos de México; Mauricio de Chihuahua, Nancy de Querétaro, Paco de Acapulco y Alexandra de Cuernavaca. Ellos estarán por un periodo de 11 meses en Japón donde se integraran a la familia que los recibirá como nuevos hijos, además estudiarán la preparatoria como cualquier chico japonés.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Otro de los intercambios es el de JEP, en éste jóvenes en edad universitaria van en cualquier época del año y por diferentes periodos de tiempo a trabajar en las oficinas de LEX Institute/Club Familiar Hippo en diferentes países. Y aqui es donde entro yo y la razón de este blog...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"&gt;Cuando me enteré de que yo podía aprovechar esa oportunidad, inmediatamente puse manos a la obra y empecé a participar mucho en todas las actividades del club, de pronto ya estaba ayudando incluso en la oficina, pedí la oportunidad de ser un intern en Japón y tras una nerviosa espera, llegó la respuesta de Japón y fuí aceptado en el programa de JEP me alegré muchísimo, y no solo por ser aceptado sino porque en un principio la solicitud sería por tres meses y cada vez se fue alargando, hasta el día de hoy, yo voy por 8 meses en Japón, será un arduo trabajo, lo se porque aqui en Chihhuahua ya es mucho trabajo y la oficina es pequeña, pero más que preocuparme me anima a dar mi mejor esfuerzo, después de todo, el trabajo en Hippo es muy divertido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="background-color: #fafafa;
