My First Blog

Hello, my name is Faulks Liu, a sophomore student at the University of Notre Dame studying Economics and Global Affairs. I live in the Dillion Hall on campus and joined the Elementary Japanese I this semester to learn some Japanese culture and language. I want to learn Japanese because I love watching Japanese animes and want to watch them in the future without using scripts. I watched One Piece, Baki the Grappler, Jujutsu Kaisen, JoJo, and One-Punch Man before. One Piece is my favorite of them. Also, I want to learn more about Japanese culture, like food, in this course.

    So nice to meet you Faulks! I also lives in Dillon Hall, maybe we can catch up at Fr. Ed's place sometimes and watch One Piece together. What's your favorite anime?

Today, I watched a YouTube video titled "4K HDR Japan Travel 2025 | Night Walk in Shibuya (渋谷) Tokyo Japan" . This video, filmed in April 2025, offers a high-definition walking tour through the vibrant streets of Shibuya at night. Although I couldn't understand all the spoken Japanese, the video provided an immersive experience of the city's atmosphere. The natural sounds—conversations, traffic, and ambient city noise—helped me attune to the rhythm and intonation of the Japanese language. Observing the cultural gestures and mannerisms of people in their daily routines offered insights into Japanese urban life. This experience emphasized the importance of listening to native speech and observing cultural contexts to enhance language learning. I look forward to exploring more such videos to deepen my understanding of Japanese language and culture.

１．はるやすみに　ガールフレンドと　カンクンに　いきました。 ホテルに　ごにちかん　とまりました。 それから、はるの　おわりに　ノートルダムだいがくに　のこりました。 はるの　ノートルダムの　けしきが　とても　きれいだったので、　すごく　きにいりました。 ２．しゅうまつは　ホテルで　プールに　いったり、　レストランで　たべたり　しました。 でも、ときどき　あめが　ふりました。 だから、へやで　えいがを　みたり、　ゆっくり　すごしたり　しました。 ぜんたいに　とても　たのしい　しゅうかんでした。 During spring break, I went to Cancun with my girlfriend. We stayed at a hotel for five days. Then at the end of spring, I stayed at Notre Dame. I really liked the beautiful campus view in spring.  On the weekend, I went to the pool and ate at restaurants. But sometimes it rained. So, we watched movies in the room and relaxed. Overall, it was a really fun week.
