Learning Japanese!

The following video is a news clip about names of newly born children in Japan: By the way, this video happens to have many new grammar items and kanji learned recently. A good material for review ;) A name often contains stories and connections of the family as well as parents' expectations. Complicated meanings and sufficient combinations of kanji makes it more important (and difficult) to name a new baby with kanji. Take myself as an example. 郭（guo グオ） is my family name. There are two kanji in my given name. 元（yuan ユアン） contains meanings related to "primary", "leading", "first", etc. And 博（bo ボ）is usually about "big", "intelligent", "broad", "general", etc. This name represents blessings and expectations from my parents, and I like it a lot, too. Please tell me about stories behind your names as well if you are interested. ありがとうございます。

私はアニメやまんががたくさんみました。一つのおすすめは「ぬらりひょんの孫（まご）」 (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) というアニメです。 An image of the main character, Rikuo Nura. His hairstyle is pretty special. It was an anime series adapted from the corresponding manga series. It was inspired by a traditional Japanese folklore: yokai (妖怪（ようかい）). The story followed 奴良（ぬら）リクオ (Rikuo Nura), a human by day and a yokai by night. [1] presented a basic plot of the whole story: Rikuo Nura is three-quarters human and one-quarter yokai, in which he has a human form in the day but transforms into his yokai form at night. He lives in a house full of yokai along with his yokai grandfather. Trying to escape his fate, Rikuo does good deeds in order to avoid becoming a yokai, despite his grandfather's wish that Rikuo succeed him as the Third Heir of the Nura Clan. Rikuo is different because he helps humans. He eventually comes to terms with his yokai blood and decides to take up the position of the Third Heir of the Nura Clan. Multiple factions a...

このしゅうまつは、いそがしかったです。 金曜日のよるにアパートのジムでうんどうしました。人はたくさんいました。そして、土曜日にかのじょとかいものにいきました。マティンスというスーパーでたべものとみずをかいました。コストコでもかいものにいきました。そして、うちでばんごはんをつくりました。ビーフとやさいをたべました。おいしかったです。それから、日曜日にうちでべんきょうしました。たいへんですから、けんきゅうをしました。

クラスでおにぎりアクションというイベントをはなしました。ここはおにぎりアクションのしょうかいです。そして、私のコメントです。 By taking photos of onigiri and posting them on social media, free food is donated by sponsors. It is related with World Food Day on October 16th, which was established by the United Nations as a day for everyone to think about food problems in the world. Onigiri is a common Japanese food made with rice (and other food optionally). I bought some before when I was in China. While rice is not so popular in the United States, it is of vital importance in both China and Japan. Actually, thanks to rapid development of technology for agriculture, rice production has been significantly increased, effectively reducing hunger and poverty issues in some central and western regions of China in the past four decades. In a nutshell, this event looks interesting, and I'm pretty sure that it will help a lot of people in need.
