As a past student of Japanese I found the lessons to be very interesting and also incredibly useful.
This series is very entertaining and informative. (click on the image to see the entire image) I hope that this picture will give you the basic idea of what the whole cast looks like. Unfortunately most of them are not popular actors, so there are very few pictures of the whole cast. The cast is one of the most amazing parts of the series! The main character is a popular actress this season, but the class is actually made up of a wide range of foreigners who speak very good Japanese.
At first she is intimidated by all of the questions and curiosity of her students, but they end up teaching each other valuable lessons (because come on, it's a drama!). She ends up getting a job as a temporary teacher, but finds out when she gets there that it is a school for foreign exchange students. The premise of the series is a fashionable shop assistant named Haruko who has always dreamed of being a high school teacher. The drama is based of an illustrated book of the same name where a teacher is explaining how she teaches foreign students. This series is softsubbed which makes it even faster to watch and upload. Episode one had 5.8% and episode five had a shockingly low 1.3% Despite these ratings, it is an entertaining series with many lessons in Japanese and reasoning to certain rules in the Japanese language. Nihonjin is currently airing and this week will mark the 6th episode, but the rating have been rather poor.
It's much easier to download a series when it comes out instead of waiting for dead links. Her students ask her questions about her own (Japanese) language that makes Haruko realize that she doesn't even fully understand her native language.This is the first time that I've been watching a series as soon as it is aired in Japan. However, when Haruko shows up on her first day as a Japanese language teacher she discovers that the school is for foreign students learning Japanese. He gives her a textbook which is for elementary school students. However, he asks that Haruko works at a private school for three months before working at a public school. Haruko Kano ( Riisa Naka) meets an old high school teacher who suggests that Haruko would make a good Japanese language teacher and offers to help her get a job at a public school. Whilst the drama version is based on the original comics, the main character Haruko has been involved in more problems with the teachers and students than in the comics.
In addition, it has also been published in Traditional Chinese in the Republic of China.įrom Juntil September 30, every Thursday night, the TV drama The Japanese That The Japanese Don't Know aired on Yomiuri TV (every Thursday from 23:58 until 24:38).
Outside of Japan, it has been published in the Korean language from the original source material in the Republic of Korea. This is backed by a story of a Japanese teacher at a Japanese language school who frequently gets involved in scenarios with her eccentric students. The Japanese That The Japanese Don't Know is an episodic series revolving around elements of the Japanese language such as word origins and proper uses. It has also spawned a live action drama which aired on Yomiuri TV. There have been four paperback volumes as of August, 2013. It discusses the background of Japanese words and speech.
