Welcome to Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. Have you ever heard of Japanese-English? It is a Japanese word written in katakana, which Japanese people think is English, but English speakers do not understand it. Please listen to today's audio to learn what Wasei-English is. Now, it is getting a little cooler in Japan, but it is still too early for the season of autumn leaves. At this time of year when it is not yet cold, manjushage (or higanbana) is at its best. Please take a look at our FacebookPage. Hola. Bienvenido a Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. ¿Has oído hablar del inglés japonés? Es una palabra japonesa escrita en katakana, que los japoneses creen que es inglés, pero los angloparlantes no entienden. Escucha el audio de hoy para aprender qué es el inglés japonés. Está refrescando un poco en Japón, pero todavía es demasiado pronto para las hojas de otoño. En esta época del año, cuando aún no hace frío, el manjushage (o higanbana) está en su mejor momento.

LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT Talking to Jim and Gerri was a lovely stroll down memory lane; it's almost like we hold each other's histories in the ex-pat community as our children grew up together. After years apart, our paths would cross, but it always felt natural and like "good old times" with Jim and Gerri. Gerri was born and raised in Tokyo. She shares her family history and how she grew up in a single-parent family. Jim was born in Japan, but he moved around in the US because his father was in the US military. They met at Sophia University and have been together for nearly half a century. Jim and Gerri are both fully bicultural and bilingual - a combination that is a rare commodity and an asset in their industry. Jim has established himself in the video/film industry and currently runs his production along with Gerri. Gerri is a renowned bilingual voiceover talent for TV, movies, and commercials; her NHK show "Eigo de Asobou" became a national phenomenon and a pioneer in English-incorporated educational television shows. The dynamic couple share milestones and continue to create valuable content through the media medium's evolution (e.g., apps like Hungry Caterpillar).

日本語には和製英語が盛りだくさん！デューデリやアポなど、ビジネスの世界でも色々な和製英語に出会います。 The Japanese language is full of wasei-eigo, pseudo English words and phrases that have been adopted and modified from the English language. You'll hear unique wasei-eigo in the business world, such as due-deli (due diligence) and apo (appointment).  そしてテクノロジーの世界も例外ではありません。今の時代、スマホやノートパソコンという言葉は誰もが当たり前のように使っていますが、和製英語ですので英語ではスマートフォンやラップトップと言わないと通じません、、、。 With the ever-changing world of technology, there's been an influx of wasei-eigo such as sumaho (smart phone) and notopasocon (laptop). もはや頭は大混乱、笑。ちーちゃんもやっこも、もちろん混乱します。今週のエピソードではビジネス界の和製英語やテック用語にまつわる言葉について語り合います。 Confused yet? Yakko & Cheechan get confused as well. In this week's episode, they explore the world of wasei-eigo in business and tech lingo. ポッドキャストの無料視聴は上記プロフィールのリンクからアクセスして下さい！アップルポッドキャストやアンドロイドでのご購読もお忘れなく！ Check out this week's episode at the link in our profile and don't forget to subscribe via Apple Podcast or Android! 《今週のポッドキャスト・フレーズ》 In and of itself: 「それ自体としては、、、云々」と続ける時に、そっくりそのまま使える便利フレーズ！前置詞が大活躍するフレーズですので豪速球で登場することが多いです。さぁ今回のエピソードではどこで登場するでしょう？ぜひエピソードを聴いて探してみて下さい！

日本語は和製英語の宝庫！ということで今週は「和製英語」の第三弾。食べ物にまつわる和製英語について語り合います。（「和製英語」とは、日本語を話す人が英語を元にして作った日本語。カナで表記されるので一見英語に見えますが、残念ながら英語としては通じない単語です、笑。） The Japanese language is full of Wasei-eigo. Join Yakko & Cheechan for the Wasei-eigo Part III podcast on food.(Wasei-eigo are pseudo-English words and phrases created by Japanese speakers that are based on English words but are not actually English.) 日本語の「アイス」が食べたいという人がいたら、その人は「氷」が欲しいわけではないことは十分に想像できると思います。日本語で「アイス」と言ったら、アイスクリームやソルベ、アイスキャンディーのことですよね？でも「アイス」は実は和製英語。英語の ice は「氷」を指すので、スイーツの「アイス」が欲しい時は英語では ice cream、sorbets、popsicle と言わないと「氷」が出てきてしまいます、笑！ If a Japanese speaker asks for ice, there’s a good chance they aren’t talking about frozen water. Ice (pronounced aisu) is wasei-eigo for frozen treats such as ice cream, sorbets, and popsicles. It’s just one of many that can cause confusion! 今週もカフェオレ、ハンバーグ、フライドポテトなど Cheechan と Yakko が混乱した和製英語で盛り上がります！ In this week’s episode, Yakko & Cheechan share the food related wasei-eigo that has tripped them up, such as cafe au lait, hamburg vs. hamburger, and french fries! ポッドキャストの無料視聴はプロフィールのリンクからアクセスして下さい！アップルポッドキャストやアンドロイドでのご購読もお忘れなく！ Check out this week’s episode at the link in our profile and don’t forget to subscribe via Apple Podcast or Android! 《今週のフレーズ》There's a good chance that… : ～する可能性が高い、～ということになりそうだ※ good が入ってるので可能性が「高い」です。他にも The chances are that…（多分〜だろう）という似た表現もありますのでチェックしてみてくださいネ。 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

今週のエピソードは「和製英語その２」と題して、先週に引き続き和製英語について語り合います。ご存知の通り「和製英語」とは、日本語を話す人が英語を元にして作った日本語。カナで表記されるので一見英語に見えますが、残念ながら英語としては通じない単語です、笑。 This week’s episode is Wasei-eigo Part II. Wasei-eigo are pseudo-English words and phrases created by Japanese speakers that are based on English words but are not actually English.  その中でも今週は家の中にあるものをテーマに、Cheechan と Yakko が惑わされて困惑した和製英語を取り上げます。 Yakko は「コンセント」（英語っぽく consent といっても通じません

和製英語に惑わされたことはありませんか？和製英語とは、日本人が作った「英語っぽい」日本語。これらの和製英語は、英語が元になって作られ、カナで表記されるので一見英語かと思ってしまいますが、実は英語ではないから通じない！？ Have you ever been tripped up by Wasei-eigo? Wasei-eigo are pseudo-English words and phrases created by Japanese speakers that are based on English words but are not actually English.  今週のエピソードでは、惑わされがちで頻繁に使われる和製英語の中から、ファッションや衣類にまつわるものをほんの一握り取り上げます。パンツ、トレーナー、ジャージは英語では別物⁉ In this week’s episode, Yakko & Cheechan walk through a handful of common, but confusing wasei-eigo in the world of fashion and clothing. Pants, trainers, and jerseys are just a few of the words that actually mean different things in Japanese and English. それだけではありません。ビーサンやジーパンのように日本には英語を元にして作った独自の略語もあります。これらも一見英語かと思いますが、残念ながら英語としては通じません、笑。どうりで惑わされるわけです！ But, that’s not all. There are many made-up words such as bi-san and ji-pan that are created from English words but don’t exist in the English language. It’s no wonder Wasei-eigo is responsible for lots of communication confusion!  ポッドキャストの無料視聴はプロフィールのリンクからアクセスして下さい！アップルポッドキャストやアンドロイドでのご購読もお忘れなく！ Check out this week’s episode at the link in our profile and don’t forget to subscribe via Apple Podcast or Android! 《今週のフレーズ》 It's no wonder that... : どおりで〜なわけだ。No wonder...としてもOKです！ ※例文は上の本文を見て下さい。 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com

Tim Shieff is regarded as one of the best parkour athletes and freerunners of his generation. After six years being a vegan athlete he had some health issues and went back to eating a more primal diet consisting of animal products. Being heavily invested in the vegan lifestyle it wasn't an easy choice to "come out" and admit he wasn't 100% plant based anymore. In his second appearance in the NEDA podcast we talk about this major life transition, why he’s gotten deep into training with a rope , movement, fasting, running technique, emotional healing, COVID-19, addiction, David Weck, David Belle, Joe Eigo, parkour, break dancing, divine truth, EMF, grounding and other life hacks.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Tengo totalmente aceptado y normalizado que en Japón casi nadie habla el idioma de Shakespeare. O al menos si lo hacen... disimulan muy bien! En serio, tras tantos años visitando el país sé que tengo que usar algunas palabras japonesas para el día a día y no suelo albergar esperanza de que me entiendan en inglés, así que entablar una conversación medio fluida con alguien es casi ciencia ficción en la mayoría de los casos. En definitiva que la población japonesa no suele tener un nivel de inglés demasiado alto y el turista que visita el país se suele encontrar con ciertas dificultades para comunicarse. En este episodio extra para mecenas me pregunto porqué esto es así y trato de obtener algunas respuestas. ¿Are you ready? Gracias por seguirme y apoyarme.

In this weeks episode of the KoreKara Podcast, we chat with Kaz, the author of Eigo Nodo. You also may know him from the Kaz's Nippon Dream Youtube Channel, or the Nippon Dream Website. But today, we're going to find out more about Kaz than just the language learning side. We dive deep into how he became proficient in English, his journey to the United States, the inception of Eigo Nodo and publication process, as well as his adopted son. Kaz's Links: ► Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/eigonodo ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/eigonodo ► Website: https://www.nippondream.com/ About Kaz: Kaz grew up in Hiroshima, Japan and became proficient with the English language from an early age listening to the radio. After doing his undergraduate degree in Japan, Kaz would go to the United States to get his PhD from the University of Chicago. At that point, he was very comfortable with his English speaking and comprehension level, but there was one thing that was missing. No one was listening to him. This issue wasn't the most apparent until he actually starting working in the United States. He noticed that everyone would listen to his international colleagues, but no one would pay attention when it was him that talked. However, his wife went and pointed out something simple but drastic that would become the cornerstone of his book, Eigo Nodo. The concept of using your throat to speak English. Due to the quiet nature of speaking Japanese, you never actually hear when native speakers breathe in. Whereas the foreigners at the company Kaz was working at would always breathe in before they spoke, which let everyone know that it was their turn to speak. Once Kaz actually put this concept into practice, he was able to see that everyone would listen to him, and could communicate at a much higher level than before. From there he decided that this is a problem that other Japanese people must be facing, thus he decided to make the book Eigo Nodo together with his wife. She wrote out the concepts in English while Kaz would go and translate it into Japanese. The final product was Eigo Nodo, the tool to help out Japanese speakers speak English better. In conjunction with publishing the book, he created the Nippon Dream website and Youtube channel to further aid Japanese people who wanted to have a very high level of English. The website evolved into not only a hub for various learning resources, but an area where Kaz would personally tutor people as well. Over time though, Kaz noticed that it wasn't only Japanese people who were interested in his content, but also foreigners who wanted to speak better Japanese. Nowadays, Kaz looks to help both Japanese native speakers and foreigners become better at the respective languages through his interactive video series, website posts, tutoring, and more!

“For behold, I create a new heavens and a new earth… Be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create” (Isaiah 65).   “When I left college and set out to be a poet I thought of nothing but writing a poem that would live forever. That’s just how I phrased it: live forever. It seemed to me the only noble ambition… It was, I suppose, a transparent attempt to replace soul with the self.”[1] Christian Wiman writes this to explain how poetry abandoned him, about how becoming a Christian required him to give up the fantasy that his words could last forever. What fantasy do you need to leave behind for the sake of faith? It is hard to believe that it has been less than a month since the devastating fires here because so much happens every day. On Friday for instance, another school shooting took place here in California (Santa Clarita). The president pardoned a list of American men convicted of war crimes. On the same morning former ambassador to Ukraine Marie L. Yovanovitch testified before a Congressional impeachment hearing. As she spoke the president derided her on Twitter. She talked about election interference and its effect on foreign policy. She wondered, “How could our system fail like this? How is it that foreign corrupt interests could manipulate our government?”[2] It feels a little like W.B. Yeats’ (1865-1939) poem “The Second Coming.” “Turning and turning in the widening gyre / The falcon cannot hear the falconer; / Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / the ceremony of innocence is drowned / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity. / Surely some revelation is at hand; / surely the Second Coming is at hand.”[3] Indeed make no mistake the Second Coming is at hand. Our Gospel this morning speaks of three moments, three realizations of this truth. In the 8th century BC the prophet Isaiah wrote to inspire a people who had been held captive in distant Babylon. He conveys God’s message to them, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered…” (Isa. 65). But “the former things” do “come to mind.” The gladness and rejoicing will come as reversals of the terrible tragedies that have afflicted them. Children dying, sinners never finding atonement, people who after laboring have their houses and fields taken from them – these things will no longer happen. Isaiah conveys God’s promise of a new day of peace when the “wolf and lamb will feed together.” By the time of Jesus the temple in Jerusalem has been both restored and corrupted. Every Sunday for the last six months we have been following Jesus’ travels in Luke only to arrive at this very point. This is Jesus’ last public sermon. Immediately before this Jesus warns the people to beware of religious leaders who love being honored, who draw attention to themselves through their long prayers. In contrast Jesus admires a poor widow who gave two cents because it was all she had. Jesus hears people admiring the way the temple is adorned. The Greek word for this is kekosmētai. It combines a sense of both beauty and order like our words cosmos or cosmetic.[4] So imagine someone complimenting the architecture of the United States Capitol and you have a sense for what is happening. Jesus explains that everything they see will be utterly destroyed. What the disciples and these people so desperately hope for is a warrior king who will overthrow the foreign Roman occupying army and the collaborators in charge of all social institutions. The disciples desperately resist what Jesus is teaching them. He gives them a completely upside down picture of servant leadership in which the greatest is “servant of all” (Mk. 9:35). God is not merely changing who is in charge but overthrowing that whole way of existing. In the realm of God, which is unfolding all around us, love matters more than power. That is why Jesus warns the people to beware of false leaders who still exalt power over love. He says people will come in his name saying “Eigo eimi” which we translate as “I am he,” but which really means simply “I am.” John’s gospel repeats this all the time. Jesus says, “I am the true vine” (Jn. 15:1), “I am the light of the world” (Jn. 8:12, 9:5). This is an echo of Moses’ encounter with God at the Burning Bush. Moses asks who God is and God says “Eigo eimi” “I am.” False leaders will say the time is at hand. They will say the chairos, the fulfilled time is near. Do not go after them. The telos, which is more than a simple end but a fulfillment,  a completion, “will not follow immediately” (Luke 21). Jesus’ last public sermon points to a second moment in history. When the region revolted against Roman rule the Emperor Vespasian sent troops to crush the people. After a four month siege in the year 70 AD the Romans (under the future emperor Titus) destroyed the temple and the city. Thousands of people were killed and it seemed like a great culture and religion had been utterly destroyed. Biblical scholars are not exactly sure when Luke composed this gospel but they believe it might have been some time around these events.[5] In the first and second centuries it was illegal to be a Christian. Because we inhabit a different age and culture we have difficulty imagining a world in which politics and religion were so thoroughly intermixed. Christians refused to make the required sacrifice to the Roman emperor and this was regarded as a grave political crime. When things went wrong in society like earthquakes, wars, plagues, famines and signs in the heavens it was common to persecute the Christians.[6] The same emperor Vespasian built a Roman coliseum that seated 50,000 people. Killing Christians in gruesome ways was entertainment in that society. They made no distinction between capital punishment and a sacrifice to the gods. We have a written account of the details around the execution of Perpetua, Felicitas and their companions in the year 203 AD. Perpetua was a twenty-two year old noblewoman and was nursing her infant in prison before being killed in the amphitheater by wild animals and the sword.[7] And to the people of this moment Jesus speaks frankly about the way they will be arrested (paradidomi) and persecuted, brought before kings and governors for his name’s sake (Lk. 21). Jesus says to them. This will be a time for you to bear testimony (marturion). To people in the most extreme circumstance Jesus has such a simple message. Don’t agonize over preparing what you will say, “for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict.” You will be betrayed by those who are supposed to love you, “[b]ut not a hair of your head will perish.” The final moment the gospel speaks to is of course our own. In this time of political turmoil it is hard for us to see past the headlines. Everywhere so many prominent leaders violate accepted conventions concerning power and civility, and as the internet amplifies the most extreme voices, we cannot help but suffer from a kind of outrage fatigue. And meanwhile we face the most serious threat in recorded history. Modern society may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and countless other species. In the words of a recent commentator we have radically underestimated the effects of our actions. Twenty-five years ago it would have been inconceivable to us that within such a short time, “a single heat wave would measurably raise sea levels an estimated two one-hundredths of an inch, bake the Arctic, produce Sahara-like temperatures in Paris and Berlin.”[8] This is the most important news from summer. This is the story of our generation. I want to suggest two small things that you might do as servant leaders to help. First, in all our conversations we need to be honest about this reality. This week an acquaintance was talking about fires that were “just normal not from climate change or anything.” I just let this go instead of clarifying what she meant by this comment. At your Thanksgiving dinner tables I encourage you to let a lot go – but not this. Our generation has a unique responsibility in all human history. Second, when you work alone it is hard to be effective and easy to become discouraged. At Grace Cathedral everybody counts. Volunteer, make a pledge, join a group or form one. Become a teacher, an usher, an acolyte or a docent. Exercise leadership and worship here because this is part of how God is saving the world. We are so much stronger together than we are as individuals. And the very poorest and most ignored person here may make the offering that will save us. On this ingathering Sunday the world will see in us the opposite of Yeats’ poem. At Grace Cathedral the center does hold, things that fell apart are being repaired, innocence is not drowned but nurtured. The best have conviction and the worst find forgiveness for their sins. Although it may seem strange in this world of wars and rumors of wars, of persecutions and betrayals, the second coming is incredibly good news to us. God has written a poem that will live forever. It is not a political party, or a system of government, or even a religion. It is not even this world. The poem is you. And you will not perish. Leave your fantasies behind because we have reason for a far greater hope. God is creating a new heavens and a new earth. Be glad and rejoice forever.   [1] Christian Wiman, He Held Radical Light: The Art of Faith, The Faith of Art (NY: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 2018) 6-7.

The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?” W.B.

On this episode of the Japan Station podcast we're talking about the Japanese language and the very interesting linguistic phenomenon of "made in Japan English" (wasei eigo). Anne Crescini is an Associate Professor at the University of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture. She has conducted extensive research on the linguistic phenomenon of wasei eigo ("made in Japan English") and has even written a book on the subject called Petto Botoru wa Eigo Ja nai tte Shittō to!? (English: Did you know that "PET Bottle" is not an English word!?). Aside from teaching and her work on wasei eigo, Anne regularly appears on Japanese television, writes a column for a Fukuoka newspaper, and makes her own miso. Anne is also well-known for her mastery of the Hakata dialect. In this episode we discuss: The various types of words that make up the Japanese language The various languages of origin of gairaigo (loanwords/foreign origin words in Japanese) What wasei eigo is Examples of wasei eigo What a "handle keeper" (handoru kīpā) What a "paper driver" is (pēpā) What "magic tape" (majikku tēpu) is What "skinship" is How the need for efficient communication shapes the words people use Possible reasons why wasei eigo came to be so prevalent How wasei eigo can be confusing for both English-speakers and Japanese-speakers Why Anne moved to Japan How Anne became interested in the Japanese language and researching it The changing nature of language Recent Japanese slang such as the use of wanchan and futsū ni (murai, oishii, etc) The use of re-tasu kotoba The use of ra-nuki kotoba The importance of knowing when you should speak formal Japanese versus casual Japanese Anne's interest in cooking Japanese food The potential probiotic benefits of making one's own miso And much more!

B: Yes, I went there last weekend. I want to go a few more times before the summer is over. What about you? Do you have any plans for the rest of the summer? A: I'll probably have a barbecue or two.
