(GREG) All right, I'll say the questions, you answer them. (AIKO) Yep.

(GREG) Ok, does Aiko prefer to speak Japanese or English?

(AIKO) Well, because... I'm like better at Japanese right now.

And, well, since the kids -as in you and Shin- know English very well,

um, are you placed in advanced English classes in school?

(GREG) Advanced. (AIKO) What's "advanced"?

(GREG) Advanced. Like, uh... "higher level".

(GREG) Well, if there's like... normal kids who go to one class, then kids who know stuff really good

they go to a different class, that's an advanced class.

(AIKO) Well, I had them when I'm Grade 3. But... well, I don't have it right now.

So I don't know if I'm gonna have it again or if I'm gonna have English school when I get to Grade 5.

(GREG) But, It's not because you speak english, right? Just...

All your kids... don't -in your grade- don't have English class?

(AIKO) Yeah... right now, but like, um Grade 5 and Grade 6, um...

there's some English class so we might... I might do

(GREG) Ok, um, and how are you retaining your English?

Are you losing your English speaking ability, you and your brother Shin?

(GREG) You're losing it?? (AIKO) Yep. (GREG) I don't... I don't think they're losing it.

(AIKO) Hmm, Like I can... Look, there's some stuff that I could um...

I mean, I can spell, but like now I can't spell it, or I can't read it anymore so...

(GREG) Ooh, yeah, you're right. Your read-... Your reading and writing aren't just... maybe strong

But your speaking is still pretty good, I think.

Since the kids speak Japanese to mommy and English to you, what language do you and mommy speak to each other?

So that's a question... well, what language do mommy and I speak?

And sometimes mommy talks Japanese to you, so you can learn Japanese.

(GREG) Yeah. Mostly English. Trying more Japanese. But if we have to talk about anything serious, it's English.

Mmm, OK. Can you have pets in Japan? Does Aiko have any pets?

(AIKO) Well,  you are allowed to get pets but,  not a pet in a... "manshon"?

(GREG) Yeah. "Manshon" is a... japanese, the name for a japanese apartment is called "manshon".

(AIKO) And condos and so... And because... um... like... it might be loud.

But little animals like goldfish and um... like little birds is allowed, to be okay,

but like big, I mean like cats and dogs they're not allowed being in a manshon but in a normal house they are ok.

(GREG) Well, depends on the apartment building. (AIKO) Yep.

Japanese schools, you have to remove your outter shoes and swap them for indoor shoes

so what the person wants to know is, what do visitors do

if they're visiting school during a festival?

(GREG) Yeah, like say your parents come visit...

Um... for um... like people that come they have slippers and then there's a

festival stuff in um... in like  outside of the school.

(GREG) Yeah, so outside... most festivals would take place normally... (AIKO) Yep.

(GREG) ...so you just wear your outdoor shoes, but if it's inside, they have lockers just for visitors

where they can get slippers and... but a lot of people bring their own slippers.

(AIKO) Sometimes you have Saturday school, and in Japanese it's called "jigyoukoukai",

and it's not on every Saturday, but your parents can look at inside your class, and see what the kids are doing,

and on those times they can like... they use those slippers.

(GREG) Aiko, what do they... people do when they get sick?

(AIKO) Um, go to... in Japanese it's called "hokenshitsu",

and they go to um, like a normal room, and that's like... have

lots of stuff that you might see in a hospital or like little...

(GREG) This is at school you're talking about?

(AIKO) And um... Well it's just a teacher that knows about um, like your body and stuff and

so um, there's a room like that, and then you can lie down in a bed, and then you can

like um,  eat food there, if you like gonna- and you can go home.

high fever or something and yeah, there is those kind of things.
