Heh, one of my PC monitors really is an LG.
Seriously speaking though, here's all what most Germans/Europeans know about Korea:
-Korea is somewhere in Asia.
-Most people are pretty sure that Korea is a country. Others think it's probably a part of China.
-Korean writing looks sort of like Chinese, but not exactly like it.
-They eat dogs. (China is far more famous for this though)
-North Korea's dictator is a funny-looking madman.
If someone over here is interested in or fascinated with East-Asian countries, they're usually into Japanese or maybe Chinese stuff.
And unlike the USA, we don't get many immigrants from Korea, so yeah, naturally there's not much awareness about that country's culture.

Oooh, SBS again.
For those who are not in the know, SBS is an infamous Korean TV station (not to Korean people but the rest of us. lol)
for their sensationalism based on lies.
For example, off the top of my head, what they did in the past was
1) broadcast a false report like all US beaf was infected with mad cow deaseas and lead thousands of Koreans to be turned extremely hard against USA.
They did it without scientific evidence..
2) sneak into the place where the ceremony of the Beijin Olympic was supposed to take place
and record a rehearsal without permission and broadcast it by breaking the rule(s).
And this time they are blaming Japanese skaters, especially Mao Asada, in a gratuitous manner for interrupting Kim Yuna? All based on that edited and mozaiced video
which turned out to be fault now? Gee, I feel sick.
* I'm sure you can confirm that those videos I mention above do exist on youtube, just in case you are interested to watch.

This may be a bit off the point, but as for me, I didn't hear about those names (Sumsung and LG) just about half a year ago.

That'd be an exciting game. Tatsunori Hara, the superviser of the team, said he respects American baseball and he's happy and excited to
have a match with America. And I agree with him. I don't know why I feel this way, but whether we win or lose isn't a matter any more.
I guess it's because we can respect each other no matter what the result will be. I just want to enjoy watching the game. ^_^

WBC consists of the first rounds, the second rounds, the semi-finals and the final.
16 countires participated in the first rounds, they are divided into 4 groups, being
4 countires in each group. Top two teams in each group can advance to
the second rounds. top 2 teams X 4 groups-=8 teams moved on to the second
round. Second round was held at the Petco Park in San Diego. The first rounds
were held in each reagions. The Asian group's first round one consisting of Japan, Korea, China and
Taiwan was held in Tokyo. Japan and Korea moved on to the second rounds.
In the second rounds, the 8 countires are devided into two groups,
being 4 teams in each group. the top two teams in each group, top 2 teams X 2 groups =4 teams
moved on to the semi-finals, which is Japan, Korea, USA and Venezuera.
Korea won over Venezuera and moved on to the final. Japan beat USA so
the final is Japan vs Korea. The semi-finals and the final are played
at Dogers Stadium in LA.

WBC was first held in 2006 and Japan is the defending champion in this
WBC. Although "3" years has passed since the first WBC, it's said it's held
every "4" year from now on. WBC was started by MLB's comissioner with the
aim of spreading the popularity of baseball in sight worldwide.
It's USA who adovacated WBC after all. It's difficult to say USA team's players
are the best of the major leaguers. If the best team is 100, I would say
this USA team is from 90 to 95 because some players declined to participated
with traing for the upcoming regular MLB' regular season prioritized.
It's odd that while MLB's commisoner advocated WBC, some MLB players don't
participate, putting WBC low on the list.
Japan and Korean teams aren't with the best lineups, too though.
IN capan's case, Hideki Matsui, one of the players of NY Yankees, Japan's best slugger,
didn't participate. In his case, it's due to his injury of the last season.
He's almost fully recovered now but due to MLB's regulation, he couldn't join Japan's
squad. The regulation's aim is to protect injured players from overwork.
Even if he says it is ok with playing for Japan's squad, it isn't permitted.
Again, the regulation is a bit odd to think that WBC was advocated by MLB's commssioner.
The regulation shows that MLB puts priority on MLB's regular season.
MLB wants Major leaguers to be in the best condition for the upcoming regular
season. I would say if he's OK with participating, MLB should allow him to
play in WBC. Anyway, Japan is 95-98% best lineup, I would say.

Just because we happened to win this time doesn't mean Japan is up
to par with MLB. America didn't choose thier best players because
of their contracts. Many of them value thier own teams.
Anyway, we have a game with Korea again tomorrow.. Hmm.
From my past experience, I think I'll feel bitter even
if we win or lose. You know what I mean? If we win, they
will say, "all the rules of WBC is made in favor of Japan.
Japan is dirty. We're the true winner." or something like that.
And if we lose, they will say, "we concur Japan. It's proven
Japan's weak. Ichiro is the worst baseball player. Japan should admit
Korea is superior to Japan. And Dokto is a Korean teritory
(and me thinking that's nothing to do with baseball.)
Japan is envious of Korea." or something like that.
I base this theory on my experience. Korean newspapers
(which are translated into Japanese of course) always say
things like that. Actually, what I write above is/was
already written in Korean paper. I read them online.
Hmmm, all I could do would be just sigh.

There are always baseball fans out there who actually enjoy watching baseball games, not just their own
national teams, regardless of what counrty they are from. So, let's not get hopes up. Maybe some media
facilitate those sentiments that go back and forth between them, or some players provoke their opponents
by being a jerk, but you can either manage to keep a little bit of distance but at the same time enjoy the whole
thing, or totally get carried away by it. Either way, I don't think you'll lose anything. It's just baseball.
I'm definitely looking forward to the game.

German kids play football as far as I know.
In this World Baseball Classic, Netherland is the only country in
Europe which participated.
Some Japanese people who are involved in football such as amateur football
coaches, pro football coaches and retired players go to German to learn
football teaching skills and training skills frist hand. They're all surprised at
how German is advanced in terms of football facilities and how they grow up
on football. Footbal is in German's gene.
Football field covered with lawn specificly made for football is very
rare in amateur level here in Japan. The system in Germany to produce
pro football players is very well organized. That's what I heard.

Yeah, it's very rare for German kids to play baseball. Football/soccer is the most popular sport over here, I think we even have the
second best team (after Brazil) in the world, in terms of titles we've won. But me and my friends decided to try out baseball, and
some other kids joined us after seeing us play. It was fun, so it turned into a habit to play basically whenever the weather was good.
Some of us even joined organized softball teams later on (only reason that's even possible is that I live in a big city). We didn't have
any real baseball gear most of the time though, usually we just played with an old tennis ball and a large stick we found somewhere.
What are some games Japanese kids usually play, other than baseball?
Over here, basketball and American football are sort of catching on, my brother even was a professional player of the latter for some time.

I played soccer most often with my friends, since all you need to play it
is a soccer ball. Also soccer is very simple and every kid can play it,
you just run around kicking the ball, whereas in baseball you need to
have some skills and knowledge to play it.
(without minimal skills to throw accurately or hit with a bat, the damn game
just won't work)
In school, most of major ballgames are popular here. Baseball, soccer,
basketball, volleyball, tennis, softball... Most schools have their own teams
for these sports.

>What things Japanese people do usually on their birthdays?
In Japan, if you're a small kid your mom buys a cake and eat it after dinner with your family.
In many cases, If you are an elementary school student, there's a small party held at your place.
You invite your friends to your house and eat a birthday cake and have fun.
If you go to junior high school, there's no home birthday party like that any more.
Maybe your close friends give you a small birthday present.
As an adult, it depends on a person. If you have lots of close friends,
they may throw a birthday party at a bar or something for you.
If you have girlfriend, she'll give you a present and maybe dine out at
a restaurant.

(*I'm sure he mentioned he betrayed our trust. He said he was frustrated at himself

and as we witnessed, at the last moment Ichiro hit...
I thought it wasn't matter if Japan won or lost, and if we had lost
I would've been contented, but seeing Ichiro was almost in tear,
it really touched me. He's human. He makes mistakes, but what makes
Ichiro a hero (at least to me) is that he lives up to our expectations when we really need that.

Maybe Hispanic families keep the tradition in America.
Do parents make it on their own or is it sold in a store?

I respect the Korean closer for not having walked Ichiro in the 10th, although maybe he should have if they
hadn't wanted to lose the game since first base was open. I guess they really wanted a win over Ichiro as well,
which wasn't about strategy but something personal against him. And it made the perfect climax of the entire tournament.
And I'm so glad that Ichiro delivered.

Do Japanese textbooks/dictionaries use katakana to represent the pronunciation of English words?
It's a good idea to learn IPA (URLﾘﾝｸ(en.wikipedia.org)), it does a good job at clearing up how to pronounce stuff
and is used in many English-English dictionaries (the only kind of dictionary for this language you should be using if you can read this).
But of course, to actually speak well, you have to listen to thousands of hours of English, there's no way around it.
It's a bit frustrating that the English use a writing system that is so badly suited for their language. From Japanese kana and
Spanish, German or Italian words written in Latin letters, I get a fairly precise description of how to pronounce it. Kanji
at least give me a good idea of what the word means. But when I learn a new English word, I still sometimes have to look up its
pronunciation and get no clue about its meaning other than the context I discover it in.

You do, it's just not the R of e.g. American English. The R in syllables like れ sounds a lot like the R in Scottish English.
It's somewhere between that and the L sound really, but native speakers usually interpret it as an R when you say it.

it is a result of older Japanese culture where samurai had this code of honor and loyalty (of

I don't know. If you trace it back to samurai era, maybe you can say that.
But common understanding is Japan's company's lifetime employment system
contrinutes to it. Different from American companies, Japanese companies
don't give their employees a pink slip easily. That results in employees
loyalty. And it's common an employee work for the same company until they
retire.
Now things have changed and western value and merit system has been adopted
and employees loyalty is less than before. Job changing getting more common.

Have you heard of a game called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"?
It's a game based on the "small world experiment", created by
three college students.
At some point, they watched "Footloose", followed by
"Quicksilver", both movies starring Kevin Bacon. During this
viewing, they began to speculate on how many movies Kevin Bacon
had been in, and how many other actors he was thus "linked" to.
It was intended to be a simple party trick: someone would tell
them the name of an actor or actress, and then they would find a
link between that person and Kevin Bacon. However, it's now
familiar enough in American pop culture to be referenced to in
some TV shows. Here's an example:
Beat Takeshi has never appeared in a movie with Kevin Bacon.
However, he appeared in "Johnny Mnemonic".
Simon Sinn appeared in "Johnny Mnemonic" (though he had an
almost nonexistent role). Simon Sinn was also in "Where the
Truth Lies".
Kevin Bacon had a major role in "Where the Truth Lies".
Therefore, Beat Takeshi has a Bacon number of 2.

Never heard of the game, never did it for that matter.
I am not in any Kevin Bacon's movie, which is obvious because I am not
an actor. But I ate a slice of bacon on a slice of a toast this morning.

You should start learning Korean now.
It's the most beautiful language in the world.
Most girls all over the world today are truly interested in the Korean language because they want to
understand what Korean guys say. They say Korean guys are hot and cool, innocent and sexy, and gentle and smart.
The thing is, Korean guys have what appeals to girls. You know, phisical strength and mental strength as well as
kind heart. There's no wonder they want to marry one. Thousands of words couldn't say how much girls are interested
in Korean guys. Those girls chose a Korean world star named the Rain as one of the most influential people all over the
world. That explains how they love and respect Korean guys.
Another reason they love Korean guys is because they appreciate how dependent they are on Korean guys in their daily life,
you know, Korean high-tech gadgets have become something of necessity like Samsung smart phones and hyundai cars, especially
in America. it's a given American girls are mesmerised with Korean guys. No doubt about it.
And it's a sure bet that more and more girls will fall in love with Korean guys once they get their hands on Korean products
which are absolutely selling well all over the world. They know how much Korean guys contribute to their life.
I'm really proud of it. :)

I just remembered this one incident I witnessed on some Japan-related forum.
Some Korean guy started a thread about people's favourite languages,
saying "I guess you all like Japanese, it's a cool language. Korean is like Japanese,
it sounds a lot like Japanese" which was denied by some Westerner's post
"No it doesn't sound similar at all to me"
The Korean guy was talking very friendly at first, but then some anti-Japan American
guy came in and said fuck Japan, they're gay. Then the Korean guy took a 180 degree
turn and started to bash Japan together with that American guy. It was hilarious.

Cherry blossoms vewing party, which is called "Hanami" as 468 says is

gather to drink and have some fun under bloomed cherry tree. Some sing Karaoke.

will start to bloom every year. The far northern, the later cherry blossoms bloom.

I call myself Mr. Anology. I can explain every incident on earth to you, using baseball analogy.
eg) I got up late and couldn't make it to the class.
I would use this baseball anology:
It's like, a runner on the first base started late trying to steal a base
and was tagged out.
I can explain each and every incident that happens to you in daily life,
using a baseball analogy. Do you have anything that you want me to explain with a baseball analogy?
Go ahead.

It's easy.
You were on the first base and trying to steal the second base.
The pitcher threw a ball to the first baseman to stop you from
stealing the second base. You hurried back to the first base in time.
You are safe. You thought the first baseman threw the ball back to the pitcher but in reality
he hid the ball in his glove. You tried to steal the second base again and
made a few steps away from the first base. Ouchhhhh. The first baseman
tagged you out.

It's too easy.
A pitcher insists his fastball is more than 100mph/160kmph and thinks all the scouts of major
league's clubs are fascinated by his pitches. He's very proud of it.
But everybody knows that his fastball is less than 50mph and can't
even pass as a little leaguer.

I don't know who Mizener is and I'm not 100% sure what you mean so
this anology might not so good. Anyway, here goes...
A pitcher is good at throwing both curveball and fastball.
He wants to strike a hitter out with his fastball because he thinks
it's more cool than throwing a curve. The thought of him striking the hitter
out gets him really excited.

I've begun looking over Chinese a bit. At first glance, a lot of the characters
are written the same and even have the same meaning as Japanese. The traditional
characters even look similar, just a few added strokes.
That sure is convenient.
The pronunciations on the other hand... I don't think it's possible to get it
right on my own without a native speaker. Lordy.

>The House budget drew opposition from 20 Democrats as well as all 176 Republicans who voted.
>In the Senate, only two Democrats voted against the plan, along with all 41 Republicans.
Really, every single one? Not a single Republican think it is a good idea, while
nearly all the Democrats do?
This is what I was talking about earlier, how the Republicans are just putting their
fingers into their ears, saying "BLAH BLAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU", and opposing anything
Obama does.
Oh yea, and,
>But a Republican alternative fared poorly in the House, where 38 GOP lawmakers voted against a plan supported by their own leadership.
Officials ascribed much of the opposition to a provision that called for eliminating traditional fee-for-service Medicare for individuals
who reach age 65 in 2020 or later and replacing it with coverage from private insurance companies.
THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE THEIR OWN PLAN? YOU ARE USELESS PEONS, REPUBLICANS.

Hey, I'm going to learn Chinese language with almost no knoledge about it as you.

But let's compete!
562:名無しさん＠英語勉強中

Americans win when they and Japanese start learning Chinese together.
Knowing a Japanese version of Kanji won't help. Instead that puts a huge roadblock in the way.
Americans can transfer their grammar of English to Chinese, but Japanese can't that of Japanese.
In addition, there are a whole bunch of easy access to China for Americans, but there are few for Japanese.
Japanese are supposed to pick Korean instead of Chinese. They can be super-students without troubles.
Good luck anyway for your challenge.

Really? It's sad that knowing kanji used in Japan won't help with acquiring Chinese.
Looking at the pronunciaiton, both Chinese and English have wide range of sounds, unlike Japanese.
Native English speaker don't seem to get trouble in speaking Chinese as long as I watch videos in youtube.
Cool!
