On top of learning the language, I'd also like to learn more about the culture. Are there any recommended books, short stories, documentaries or videos that explore this sort of thing?
>taking 4th semester of japanese in the spring
>still don't know shit about japanese
here is a paper i wrote last semester, what can I improve upon?
今年の八月十一日に、兄の結婚式がハワイでありました。ひこうきで八時間かかったので、ずっとねていました。ひこうきはこわかったので、私は好きじゃなかったです。ハワイではマンションに家族でとまりました。ベランダからは、海とすなはまが見えたので、私はずっと海を見てすごしました。姉と姉のむす子と母は海であそんでいましたが、その時にとても大きなウミガメを見れました。ハワイのショッピングセンターにも行ってきました。そこで彼女にたくさんのおみやげを買いました。ハワイから帰ってからあげましたが、とてもうれしそうでした。兄の結婚式はサトウキビのはたけの中でしました。食べ物がいっぱいあっておいしかったし、みんなたくさんおさけを飲んで楽しそうでした。いろいろな人と話したので、マンションには夜に帰りました。ハワイには、けしきがいいところがたくさんあったし、私もとても楽しかったので、またいつか行きたいです。

got a 78% for the semester, though I got an A+ on the final
whenever I talk to japanese people at school or work I feel like I know nothing and can barely say anything
I'm like a class away from getting an associates in japanese and I didn't even try to get it, it just happened, and yet I feel like I don't deserve it since I'm so shit at speaking japanese and I don't know anything about japan

今年の八月十一日に、兄の結婚式がハワイで行われました。飛行機で八時間かかったので、ずっと寝ていました。飛行機は怖かったので、私は好ではありません。ハワイでは、マンションに家族で泊まりました。ベランダからは、海と砂浜が見えたので、私はずっと海を見て過ごしました。姉と甥と母は海で遊んでいましたが、その時にとても大きなウミガメを見たそうです。ハワイのショッピングセンターにも行ってきました。そこで彼女の為に、たくさんのお土産を買いました。ハワイから帰って来てあげましたが、とても嬉しそうでした。兄の結婚式はサトウキビ畑の中でしました。食べ物がいっぱいあって美味しかったし、みんなたくさんお酒を飲んで楽しそうでした。様々な人と話したので、マンションには夜に帰りました。ハワイには、景色がいいところがたくさんあったし、私もとても楽しかったので、またいつか行きたいです。

My opinion doesn't means anything and I'm sure your Japanese is at least 10 times better than mine, but I will just say that to me it seems somewhat "stiff" and "blocky", I think you could try to make the sentences a little bit longer or connect them.

mansion means both of apartments and condominiums.
so if you use a word of mansion, it sounds you stayed your friend's or relative's house.
you can say バンガロー. it makes sense us as a Japanese word.

何かおかしいw
ネット上の噂を見て電話でクレームを入れるのは、
業務妨害の対象になる。
また以前の話題(食中毒対策の検食)は、
甚大な被害と被差別問題に関わる誤解もあった事件に対して、
慎重な対応が行われた結果のものだったと思うので、
関係者は安易な質問には答えないのでは、と思う。
だがそのことが一部のネット日本文化自賛者に、
驚くような誤解を与えている気がする。
日本独自の事情による問題なので外国人に説明するのは不可能だが、
クレーマーの言う事を聞く社会人は普通はいないと思う。

They're also more polite.

>>52705117
Is it the culture of English language?
I don't think so.
>>52705253
Japanese food are the culture of Shougatsu.
Japanese English speakers say that it is necessary for learning English to know one's culture.
Though they know no Japan.
Japanese natinalist say that Japanese imperialism is best in the world.
Though they know no Japan.
Though they know no Japan and know no countries of English language.

語学力は関係ない
>>52705955
Japanese teachers have all sorts of responsibilities teachers in other countries don't have. Duties we think of as social worker-domain are usually teacher-domain here.
In general, they are way more involved in students lives. They have been known to visit students in the hospital, take them worksheets, persuade truants to come to school, going to pick them up if need be.
Going out into the town to search for truants during off periods.
It boggled my mind at first, but its normal here.
>>52706016
Oh, so they also check out the home situation more than share their school stuff? Like a social worker role.
I've seen something like that in a drama, but it was a doctor, not a teacher.

Seems a bit strange desu, but I suppose it's ultimately a good thing. I can't really imagine having such a close relationship with one of my teachers.
こんばんは
I'm back home so I can post cute animals now.
>>52706169
It is definitely nice to have that close relationship. What I see from my outsider perspective is that it puts A LOT of pressure on teachers. Who sometimes work late into the night performing home visits and who end up feeling personally responsible if they can't succeed with a student. When this happens, it affects how the teacher performs in school with her or his 30 other kids. Because they focus on the one or two problem children.
It's got its good points and its bad points, like anything.
>>52706186
Taidama, anon.

>>52706757
I like you too
>>52706799
At what price?
>>52706836
Oh good question.
You can't masturbate or use 4chan for a week
>>52706799
>>52706757
Get a room, you two
>>52706854
>You can't masturbate or use 4chan for a week
DO NOTHING.
>>52706854
That's pretty cheap actually.
I think I would do anything for any good soul who seems to be needing it.
>>52706880
But you're already doing nothing!
>>52706885
Well the point is to pick someone you know now
and explain
>>52706922
There's a man who lives near here who was carried to the hospital just yesterday (he suffers from some respiratory problem, I think), I think I could stop masturbating for 1 week for that.
>>52706899
I think there's a big difference the values.
I mean, for instance, when someone dropped his wallet and could not go to his home, and somehow I got his situation,
my 1000 yen and his 1000 yen have different values.
I would give him 1000 yen even I wouldn't know his name.
But I never give him my masturbation nor my 4chan for a week.
読み直してからポストしようとしてるのにうっかりそのままガバガバ英文を垂れ流してしまう

>>52707001
Thats a good one.
I think I would use mine to give someone I know plastic surgery. He got weightloss surgery but now is super miserable cause his extra skin hangs in huge flaps. This is despite all the hard dieting and exercise. Its a shitty reward for the effort
