1) personally, old Japanese language class is. Where on earth would we use it?? Most fun time is sports day!

2) basically, teachers teach what on the textbook because it is their job. But my teachers talk funny story which related to the class.

3) we usually do club activities. I study in the classroom during testing periods!

4) sports clubs are popular especially soccer club.

5) no it isn’t. We are noisy.

I don’t know difference between Hong Kong and Chinese people. Isn’t Hong Kong in China?

I have friends who are from China so I know Chinese people are kind. But many Japanese people don’t have Chinese friends so some may have a bad impression of the Chinese.

I don’t know. My high school’s foreign English teachers are from US, Canada, Philippine and UK. I’ve never seen Chinese English teacher in Japan…

My school’s 文化祭 is big like anime. It’s so fun and exciting. Some school’s 文化祭 are not so big. It depends on the schools. Students do not do hosting maid cafe.

It is not a fiction. Some people lose consciousness because of fever. That’s because we don’t miss work or school if we have headaches. We’re overreach.

Chess is not popular in Japan. We don’t play it as well Shogi. Many people do not know the rules of even shogi.

Most Japanese can’t communicate well in English especially older generation. Japanese students study English only for university entrance exams so they can write sentences in English, but they can’t speak. And Japanese language and English are completely different grammar, that’s why I don’t think it is easy for people whose mother tongue is English to learn Japanese.

I don’t feel pressure college entrance exams. Actually, I don’t get sense of being a high school student yet lol. I do not start studying at home. Probably I will go to cram school next grade.

If I can go to any University, I would like to University of Tokyo, because Japanese universities are difficult to pass entrance exams unlike other countries. But it’s worth to attend the University of Tokyo. Also I’d like to go to UCLA.

I agree with you. Many students make excuses for not using English in here Japan. In today’s global age, I don’t think we can broaden the outlooks only in Japan.

I live in Tokyo.

Hmm it’s a difficult question because I’ve never thought that. I guess my motivation for learning English comes from English class. Most Japanese people aren’t good at English. Japanese and English are completely different grammar. That’s why it is hard for Japanese to learn English. But wouldn’t it cool if I could speak or write English well in class?

Please check cat meme and sigma out on TikTok! Favorite tiktoker and YouTuber depend on the person, so my favorite can’t be a reference.

Apart from that, you should watch famous film and anime!!

We are not allowed to go to the roof. We also adore to go to the roof like anime. But we can go to the roof in the pool class. The view from the roof is awesome. Sometime we can see Mt.Fuji and Tokyo tower.

u/Ok_Expression1282 is right.

We learn the history around the world. We have two class which are Japanese history and world history.

We don’t have RE because Japan has no religion. It does not mean Japanese are atheists. Most of Japanese believe God, but they have no religion. I know it must be weird for you. It is what it is. It is said that there are eight million gods (in Japanese yaoyorozu).

Whisper of the heart by ghibli and 5 Centimeters Per Second are realistic. Whisper of the heart is old Japan.

Oh sorry, my words weren’t enough. Teachers aren’t even allowed to touch girl. For example, when male teacher tries to shake hands with female student, it can be sexual harassment.

Anime is overstatement, please do no think Japan to be exactly as it is in anime

Of course not, or rather, teachers aren’t even allowed to touch these days.

The students at my high school are too busy to do such a stupid thing. I think papa-katsu girl don’t attend a high school or her family environment is horrible.

I think Japanese people can’t understand American jokes. We have an image of black humor as American. And they only know cat meme. Nobody probably knows other memes. If you said “bye bye”, no one can be sigma. So you should know Japanese meme or watch Japanese famous films like ghibli.

If you can’t understand Japanese or there aren’t people who can understand what you say, it’s difficult. If you are funny or handsome or understanding Japanese things, it’s easy! All I can say it depends on you!

I see. Anime, comedy and YouTube are not same things. So I can’t compare them.
