var addthis_pub = ‘hunyaga’; Welcome to Fun Friday, a chance for us to put away our text books and talk about all things Japanese. This week Waka sensei and myself talked about various finds on the internet and TV that I have found helpful for studying Japanese. First off is “The World Of Golden Eggs”. It is a hilarious anime with English subtitles I found on the internet and that really helped me with my Japanese. After that we talked about Matsumoto’s suberanai hanashi. Suberanai Hanashi basically translates as funny stories. In this program, Matsumoto, the famous Japanese comedian, gathers together some of his friends to spin some humourous yarns. Pretty hard stuff if you don’t have Waka sensei to help you out. Finally we checked out the horror that is Japanesebugfights.com Links from the show:1) The World of Golden Eggs 2) Matsumoto’s Suberanai hanashi 3) Japanesebugfights.com 4) Learn Japanese pod Facebook community. Osaka beats Tokyo hands down community. Don’t forget to join the forums and check out the chat room and blog. An apology for the sound which occasionally skipped. Gomen. I think we should have that problem fixed for next time. Less
