How's everyone doing staying home?

最近、日本のTikTokにはまっています！

New hobbies, new chances

JennちゃんのTikTokにもジョインしたよ！

(quotes "Doctor X" on Netflix) Change and Challenge!

まあ、フォロー中はワンチャン一匹も含めて

I'm trying to use this time to try new things

まだ5人だけで少ないが、

as you guys know, I'm a language maniac

友達に送られたTikTokをみて、単純に面白いし

so I've been testing a lot of books and apps...

言語マニアの私にとって、

er...

勉強法として利用できることに気づいた！

well...

というわけで、

*wHisPerss* Tik Tok *WhIsPeRs*

今日はTikTok連中の友達を紹介して、

nani tf?

その勉強法をお届けします。

*wHisPerss* Tik Tok *WhIsPeRs*

冗談だよ！冗談！

sorryy--wha??

紹介しますね！

My friends have been sending me tik toks!

こちらは　サム　です！

Some have even got me to join...a little bit!

日本語喋れる！

Seeing has I only have 4 friends and a dog now

まあ、ロレッタと違って、この自粛の期間を

I'm still kind figuring it out BUT

25メートルの狭いお部屋に過ごしています。

but thanks to my friends I realized that there are some REALLY funny creators

つまり、暇だからTikTokをジョインしてしまったわけ

and watching their TikToks

ヤバイよ！

has helped me learned more weird, fun Japanese

普段こんな格好しないのに、 この後TikTokを撮影するつもりなので こうなったのよ。

so today in this video, we are going to meet my friend

とりあえず、乾杯～！

who is making TikTok seem like the newest best idea

この期間、やっぱり宅飲みが多いわ。

on how to immerse yourself in a new language.

L:　このアカウント見たことある？ S:　ううん、はじめて。

Sam: It's been a while!

（いきなり日本語のプチクイズをスタート） ちなみに、この言葉知っている？

You know Sam.... I was thinking... let's do this video in Japanese!

女子の逆だ！

OH MY GOD.

「女」で書いているけど、男女関係なく、

Just kidding! Hehe. That was a joke!

海外に育ってから帰国した日本人のことみたい。

Well guys, this is Sam!

なんで「女」で書いてあるのかしら

One of my bestest buddies here in Japan.

まんな　帰国プレンセス　だからかな？

She speaks Japanese.

長い間、日本国外滞在されると こんなニックネームがつくかな。

Basically, I live alone, unlike Loretta

さて、登場人物は英語勉強中のピーターさんと

in a 25 sq meter cage!

帰国子女のじぇそんさんということだね

So obviously it was just a matter of time before I succumbed to TikTok

アメリカの入国審査のスタッフ、マジで冷たいね！

It's BAD.

アメリカ人じゃない場合

I'm all dressed up today because I've been filming a couple TikToks!

いつもひどい態度で対応される。

Cheers baby!

私、アメリカ人だけど、KitKatのお土産もっていたから

Living alone in Quarantine, I need that " takunomi " (drinking party at home)

これ何味？！といろいろ質問されたのよ。

L: So this one, have you seen this one before? S: this account? No.

マジで、冷たいウェルカムだね。ビビる！

So check out this word: Eigo benkyou-chuu no piitaa to (Peter, current English-learning, and-")

アメリカに住んだころ、 まったく「ウェルカム」な感じしなかったわ

kikoku? Kikoku??? Hmm?

関西弁の人、超かわいい！

S: is it "joshi"? L: Close! Swap that!

かわいいね。 じゃあ、サムも送って！

shishosururelwljfrrrrr?

たくさんリストアップしたよ！

shojo?

次、送るよ！

shijo!

あ～～～～最高これ！

So this word (kikoku-shijo) is not just for girls

面白いでしょ？今日まで既読無視だったのに

this is the word for Japanese children who come back to Japan

いや、生の反応を撮影したかったから 前から見ていないよ！

after living abroad. (There's a stereotype that they're perfect bilinguals, etc.)

（うそつき・・・）

Even though it has the "girl" kanji?

やっぱ、面白いね！

It's like, Return-home Princess

サム、これを簡単に説明してくれる？

They lived abroad for so long they got a nickname.

いらっしゃいませ！はよ～～～く聞く言葉です。

There's Peter who's learning English,

コンビニの場合は普通のテンションでいったけど、

and then Jason, who returned to Japan after being abroad.

最後のアパレルのほうがやばいね

They're soooo rude at immigration (in the US)

鼻声がうるさいとか変だなという外国人も多いけど、

When you're not American and you go into the US

この鼻声は長い時間バイトしても、 喉を休めるコツらしい。

they treat you like shiitake mushrooms.

”変な鼻声！”ではなく、お金を稼ぐために 頑張っている皆さんを応援するべき！

Even as an American they were like: WhaT Do YoU HaVE In YoUr BaG?! Me: ...kit kats....!??!

視聴者からいただいたTikTokはこの4件ですね。

DiD yOu GeT the BaNaNa FLaVoR? Me: YES

ThePaperPat, HerAtlas, MayDaySanなどなど

Them: WelCoMe HoMe Me: OHMYGAWD

まあ、英語のネタや外国人あるあるは目的じゃないから、

Yeah, they never said Welcome Home when Iived in the US.

リンクを動画の下に貼っておいて、

Whaccha up to?

まかせをサムちゃんに続ける。あれ？

Twitter.

続きをサムちゃんに任せる？

Howwwwww American!

やっぱ混乱してきた！

Hey hey, whats your favorite hobby?

バイ、バイ！リンガル！

Gardening!

次はカップルのアカウントで、

Hooowwwww American!

付き合って初めての体験と

Heyyyy, what's the key to life?

その3年後のカップルを比べる。

Inspire the Next! (Hitachi's slogan)

使っている日本語もそんなに難しくないから

Howwwwwww Japanese!

日本語完璧じゃなくても面白い。

He's from Osaka? Cute!

よくあるパターンだね！

S: Its cute I like it. L: You should send one.

日本が　”おかしい”　から　”面白い”　というステレオタイプを言い続ける外国人が多いが、

S: I have a whole list! (Loretta struggling with Kansai-ben)

”やっぱり日本って変な国！”とか

Raise your hand if you can speak Kansai-ben...

でも、ほら、逆にこんなネタが面白いと思う

I'm sending you a TikTok!

本当日本語を理解すると、ああ、やっぱりみんな一緒だね！ってわかる。

Ten'in no Aisatsu! (How shopclerks greet you!}

だよね！

Convenience Store: irrashaimase....

どれだけ日本語上達しても、実際に日本に住むと

Family Restaurant: Irasshaimase!

日常会話のほとんどは

Highend Restaurant: IrAarShHaiMasSee~~

とか　そういう感じ。

Apparel store: *BACAWWWWW*

私も英語で同じ話をする！

*wheezes* SAM!!!

これこそが言語の面白さ

This is why I'm addicted to this app!

どんな言語でも、みんな同じようなことを経験する。

IRAIORUIOREIOMAASEEEEE

この単語大好き！

This is what you miss when you don't read my messages!

これ英語で何というの？

I saved your messages for this video...

Peckish ? Snacky? I'm feeling snacky!

...its not that I wasn't reading them..........

えーーーこれ何語？

It's so good!

ロシア語っぽくない？

Sam, explain. What are we seeing here.

いや、これはポルトガル語でしょ？

Irasshaimase, people say it here EXCESSIVELY.

パラ・ミー　といったけど、 あれ「私に」という意味じゃん？

When you walk into a convenience store they say it pretty neutral.

ブラジル人の友達いる癖に

and then the last one, Apparel Store, omg.

いや、私もロシア人の友達いるくせに自身ないな

I heard, the reason people used the high-pitched nasal voice in stores

卒業式の動画に出た友達だね！あの子大好き！

is to use their nasal voice, not their throat, to save their voice when working all day.

だれか、ロシア語かポルトガル語を教えてください！

We're over hear croaking but it's just them try to save their voice.

ああ、大変だわ。この後日本語のレッスンあるのに

Japanese retail workers, THANK YOU so much for your long hours and work!

今日あまり集中できないわ

The 4 suggestions I got were...

次のやつがアニメっぽい

ThePaperPat, HerAtlas and MayDaySan

アニメ？今日のシャツみたい？

then a list of favorites from Eli I Guess

これ　Zaraメンズのシャツだよ

They were all really funny too so,

（なぜかいきなり違う話に・・・）

these honorable mentions will be in links below

間違いではないね

I'm going to leave this video to Sam the Laughter of Masts....??

話し方面白い！

The Master of Laughs?

でも、途中で英語発音するのが意外に難しい。

This jishuku (self-isolation) is really getting to my brain!

リズムが合わないというか、違和感があるね。

BYE-lingual!

この間、フランス語で喋てたら、なぜか「練習」を フランスっぽい発音で言っちゃった。

This account, it's a couple.

切り替えが難しいね！

and they always make comparison videos of like

まさに、天才だね！これを作った人ｗ

a new couple vs. 3 years into a relationship

こっちは、ヘイグーグル！　かな

the Japanese on this account is really really easy

へ、こっちのグーグルが反応している！！！

everyone can follow along, which is why I like them.

あら、再起動！

CLICK!

これめっちゃ好き！

Mayu, I'm going out to eat.

へっ？意味分からない！

Wait, with who? When will you be back?

ガッツポーズにハイタッチ？

About 11?

絶対勝つ、といいながら

Why? I told you! No you didn't! You never said you were going out!

握り拳を作っているから

A girl? Are you cheating on me?

グーとパーのことでしょ。

No it's a guy, we talked about this!!!

おしまい！

Mayu, I'm going out to eat! (Okayyyy)

今日のレッスンは、　 世界中の人間って言語問わず似ているところあると

I'll be back about 10pm.

TikTokが意外に面白いってことかな？

Oh? So early. I'm going out to so...

サム、ありがとう！

Wait, what? You didn't tell me?

リンクは動画の下に貼っておくから

You're going out with a guy?

これにいいねして、

Wait, you didn't tell me about this!

同じようなコンテンツが自動的に流れてくる

This is great! This is funny!

ところで、サムもユーチューバーだよ！

I feel like so many people try to make Japan seem weird and sooo different

私と違ってちゃんと定期的に動画アップしているし

"JapAn Is So CraZy And DifFeRENT!"

見ての通り、この投稿のタイミングが雑だけど、

but see, THESE are the things of Japan I love

他に、サムちゃん、Jennちゃん、コーニーちゃん

the more you learn Japanese the more you learn people are EXACTLY the same.

アリアナ（名：メープル寿司）

Exactly it's so true!

この4人はみんなよく投稿しているから

Like you can spend hours learning how to say TodAYS NeWs RePorT in Japanese

ぜひチェックしてみてね！

but then you actually go out and hear

"my bento is SOOO crappy today. It's basically nothing but rice."

Like what? That's it?

I complain about my lunch in English too!

The joys of language!

The deeper you get, the shallower your conversations.

She's like when are you coming back?

After 3 years she didn't even come over!

I'm going to be gone later than you! And he was like..WHAHAH

She's just like, wow, home so soon?

Which should I eat? HOW 'BOUT BOTH?!

Both look good.... SO LET'S EAT BOTH!

Ahhh I'm feeling snacky.

Mayonnaise... SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRT SQUIRT

My favorite is the vocab!

"Kuchi ga sabishii"

How do we say this in English?

Peckish? Yeah like snacky!

My mom's level of Japanese:

In a restaurant: (SUDDENLY WANTS ME TO ORDER FOR HER LIKE SHE CAN'T SPEAK)

But if my grades suck:

(PERFECT JAPANESE): WOW YOU SUCKKK

I couldn't process all the languages!

It sounds Russian to me?

It sounds Portuguese to me?

She said Para Mi. Para mi is..."for me" right?

One of my best friends is Brazilian...

One of my best friends is Russian I don't know anymore...

Eyyyy I like her! I know who you're talking about!

I promise, someone in the comments, back me up!

What a mess! I have a Japanese lesson after this!

I'm going to be a total mess!

Just EAT MAYONNAISE!!

NEXT! This one is very anime...

I mean, have you seen my shirt? This is very anime?

It's from Zara Men's.

[ conversation devolves ]

Just think about it!

They say it's ridiculous for you to wear make up in High School

but graduate, and go to work WITHOUT make up and they say you're ridiculous again.

so if you never practice wearing make up as a student

how are you suppose to know how MAGICALLY when you become an adult?!

I like her attitude, like "NOT POSSIBLE, AMMIRIGHT!?"

Leon, you're half,

Do you ever just like mix in perfect English in Japanese conversation?

NEVER

dude I would nEVER.

don't worry I won't call SUPAGETTI spaghetti suddenly.

The way he talks like, no NEVER dude!

Oh, no NEVER dude!

It's so physically hard to speak Japanese, and then in perfect English say SPAGHETTI

it's hard to keep the rhythm if you change the pronunciation

I was speaking French and accidently said "renshuu" in a French accent!

My soundscape is SET sir!

I would never be like, For lunch today, I ate a delicious HAmMbERRGERR

I just ordered this tasty lookin SPAERRGHETTII.

Secret Powers of a Teacher:

Class, you didn't bring smartphones into my classroom right?

Nope! I left it at home!

Should we check your bags? Oh wait, but you're not allowed to go through our bags!

Heh, is that right.

Whatever. I know you brought your smartphones, anyway.

It's impossible to confiscate them all

but I bet I can catch a few of you...

Oh yeah? How's that?

HEYYY SIRIIIIIIIIIII

Siri: Yes? Hi? Yes, how can I help?

How can I help? Can I be of assistance?

OK, everyone's who Siri just responded, hand over your phones!

HE'S a GENIUS!

The skit and this creator are so genius!

HEY SIRIIIIII

What is this, hey google!!!!

You made my google go off!

( Sam's robot goes Skynet )

Wow, we crashed her! She reset!

Sorry sir, this way is blocked.

What's the problem?

Sitting Seiza style.

Seiza?! Are you kidding me?!

How long are we sitting seiza?

it'll be about 90 minutes?

(Loretta: IMPOSSIBLEEEE)

"Hi, it's me, Mr. Blood Cell."

Ah yes, good work today!

All flow is blocked at the knees now

Understood, I'll go to the arms instead!

Yes! Ah! Ok I'll do that!

Thank you, we apologize for the inconvenience!

This is a favorite! I love it so much!

Hi, yes, it's me Mr. Blood.

i'll circulate to the arms instead!

So this one, I saw on a news program

This lady looks really gungho, saying "We will win at all costs!"

...so I say...

✋

She lost!

Wait, what? Sam I don't get it?

She wants us to do something... with hands instead of a fist bump?

Zettai katsu (Win at all Costs)

She's facing the camera saying we're certainly going to win

but she's making a fist, so he's like PAPER--- I WIN.

You lose!

Miss you dropped your handkerchief

It's OK. I already have a boyfriend.

you WAHHHHHH?

But...you really dropped it...

This... I uh..

what do I do...

That was TikTok!

Our lesson today is that Japanese isn't as EXoTiC as you think it is

People are all the same, and TikTok is actually funny.

Thank you, Sam.

So just like all the links below

JUST DO IT

then TikTok will recommend similar ones to that!

This is Sam, she has a YouTube channel you should check out RIGHT NOW.

There are so many people putting out regular content right now

as you can tell, I suck at time schedules

But there's Sam, Jenn, Corny,

Ariana / Maple Sushi

These are creators putting out regular content all the time

So if you're looking for someone fresh, go check it out!
