Work is very, very busy, and frankly, stressful. On the plus side, I’m producing a Japanese language podcast for the Canadian Education Alliance. I don’t do the talking, but I do everything else. I really enjoy listening to the interviews of Japanese who are studying in Canada. My favorite was the latest episode, #3. If Chie had her own podcast, I’d definitely listen to it. Episode 2’s interview was also interesting. If you want to hear what very heavy Osaka-ben Japanese sounds like when spoken by a teenage girl, give it a listen.
The reason I’m quiet lately.
Hee, Osaka-ben. I learned a bit when I was there. I still say Nan De Ya Nen! all the time (and have a t-shirt), though I did get frowned at for doing it there.
Is Osaka-ben Japanese similar to Osama-Bin Laden?
No.
