Hello! I'm currently an English teacher in Beijing. I've taught English across 3 countries: S.Korea, Japan and China. I spent 7 years in all but China, which is 3.5years so far. I'm trying to move back, but the borders are closed. I also love to study about various cultures and post videos about them as I see them. Just like other cultures around the globe, Japanese culture is very interesting/unique and there are always tidbits that you don't really learn until you live there. I love the video..so you have my sub!
not funny at all , everything said was normal and logical to japanese people who grow up with those customs unlike foreigners who lack discipline , order and cleaniness !!!
@@simplythebest286 To be fair, it's just a cultural difference. To an America, slurping your soup is considered rude, but this is opposite in Japan. To say either is right is to be unfair.
Yes, its seem as extremely rude. Many people (coworkers or seniors) may isolate you or have extreme dislike for you if you decline or refuse a drink from a elder.
@@Patatmetmayo you're supposed to accept the drinks that other people pour for you. you don't order your own drinks. you get a bunch of bottles and then pour each other drinks.
Risa: This is how you get on a train in Japan, konichiwa Risa desu Me: say “konichiwa Risa desu” when I need people to move and let a pregnant lady sit in my seat
My substitute teacher from 2nd period speaks Japanese and English. She was like "who knows how to inform a teacher" the room was awkward silence except from me jumping yelling me
My grandma ended up making a traditional Japanese dinner for my cousins and I, they were shoveling down rice and eating things all at once, then there was me just eating nicely. Being Australian and eating Japanese food is weird
I met lots of Japanese girls in Vancouver,we were studying English, I invited one of them to my town in Mexico and she came here! Japanese girls are so friendly but it wasn't the same with boys, they were so shy that made me feel uncomfortable that they were uncomfortable with me trying to be friendly xD
i would mostly take a shower i wouldnt really take a bath with water that has been reused but mostly because i wouldnt want to trouble them and bother them with me taking a bath. and also im not used to taking a bath however i respect there culture. but i still wouldnt take a bath like that in my opinion.
i think, this video is best way to learning other language, could you make video like this for other language, like indonesian? it make easier for learn other language. Thanks
I cannot believe you made lessons to teach that people need to hold their bags in front of them and step out of the train to let others get out. Until I moved from Russia to Europe, it was such a culture shock because people are completely unaware of what's going on around them, everyone is so focused on themselves. I wish this video will be showed in European schools and I will stop getting hit by bags and pushed by angry crowd who doesn't let me to get out of the train because they want to enter faster and take empty sits. Also it shocked me that people can enter houses with their dirty outside shoes on, we don't act like this in Russia that's rude for us
Would be good to have an English transliteration of these Japanese phrases. Those who can read the Japanese already, probably know these basic phrases anyway. Those, who don't, will not be able to catch these phrases straight away, unless they can see them written in English.
One question. I went to Japan once during a vacation and I stayed in Tokyo most of the time, I had the opportunity to know other amazing places during my stay as Kyoto and Nagoya. During one of these trips I took a Shinkansen and while I was waiting for the train to come, a young boy, about 16 to 18 years old passed by carrying a pile of books and suddenly the top book on the pile fell off right beside me, I automatically grabbed the book and put it back on the top of the pile that the young men was holding. He instantly apologised to me in a crying tone saying "summimasen!" and left the station running, visibly embarrassed. That was pretty awkward and I've been wondering since that day, what he apologized for? If a fellow Japanese could enlighten me on this question I would gladly appreciate It. I'm from Brazil BTW.
Sumimasen” is used as both “excuse me” and “sorry”. Also, a kind of “thank you”. He was likely saying he appreciated your help and he was sorry to be a bother to you. Sometimes the strong expressive intonation in Japanese is hard to get used to, but I’m sure he meant it as a genuine response to your kindness. (PS I’m not Japanese, but my son lives in Tokyo and I asked him about this.) I’ve visited my son in Japan several times and I find it refreshing that such a populated, ancient island nation has managed to get it right, and maintain a high level of civility.The country is clean and orderly. People look out for one another, and are so welcoming and patient with those of us who come to admire their homeland.

I feel like Taichi is a chill dude and Ben is just trying to impress his mom. Hate Ben now.
He’s being polite but yeah why isn’t he talking to his friend?!
Yah, Ben's a punk. すみません、おりますマイアッス！
Hey hey hey. Ben is trying to be polite and "impress" Taichi's mom because he is foreign to Japan and also a guest at Taichi's house.
HAHAHHa lol
Ben is trying to "impress" hs frens mom! Sorry since i'm korean i'm bad at engish^;^
It must be very stressful to work in a Japanese company...
I am now fully equipped to go to my Japanese friend's house tomorrow. Thank you!
How did it go?
Manners in the train also apply in Korea as well!!
Thank you! This was really helpful as I am trying to learn more about Japanese culture!
If you don't drink, do you still go to the nomikai's or politely decline? Is it seen as impolite to not drink?
Yes, its seem as extremely rude. Many people (coworkers or seniors) may isolate you or have extreme dislike for you if you decline or refuse a drink from a elder.
@@夏樹花 Guess you won't ever see me at a nomikai then, or is it okay to drink something non-alcoholic too?
@@Patatmetmayo you're supposed to accept the drinks that other people pour for you. you don't order your own drinks. you get a bunch of bottles and then pour each other drinks.
I am sure there are some exceptions for people who cant consume alcohol due to pregnancy or medical reasons 🙄

This was actually really interesting and helpful, Thankyou
I like these videos because the comment section isn't filled with creepy comments about Risa
Who's Risa...?
@Ken narville oh
@Ken narville alright
Yeah me too this is the first formal lesson from risa without weird gestures.. look forward for more this kind of videos

Finaly someone said it
Fascinating.

Arigato Guzaimasu , Awesome video to learn
This was very helpful, Arigato.
It's well put together!
So you have to stand a specific way in the elevator too. The culture is very specific and organized wow.
But the water in the tub 🛀 after anybody usage should replace with a new clean water 💦

素晴らしい。The world would be a better place if more nations were more Japanese-like.
Of course! We would have a jupiter base by now XDDD
Thank you for the video. Very useful!
I WOULD HAVE TO PRACTICE THIS BEFORE I GO TO JAPAN!😭😭😭
I'm looking forward to reaching the level of 'absolute beginner' 😐
Helpful.
That clapping killed me
let's watch!
A lot of the train rules actually just sound like stuff I do even in Canada though. I’m now wondering if it’s not a thing people do already or not.
Thanks
I just carry a bullhorn and scream SUMIMASEN WHEN THE DOORS OPEN.
ありがとうごさいます。わたしタイからきました。
どうもありがとうございます ! ❤
I like it so much 😊❤
I got learn more of this very interesting video
What about talking politely to both junior and senior ?
Thanks a lot
I recommend you not to use "おじゃま" because it might not make any sense. I've never heard such variation of おじゃまします.
A brit visiting Japanese home would be interesting

Maybe he apologized because he disturbed you for a moment and you picked his book up who knows

if I were invited to take a bath at my friend's house, I better not pick up the soap.

If we don't wanna drink (or eat ) so what should we say to them?
This is the greatest anime of all time.
Very informative videos. I was only aware of a few culture rules. And I dig Risa chans Canadian tuxedo shirt.
Merci beaucoup❤❤
