Hi, guys what's up? it's me Ruri I am a first-year med student here in Turkey
and today we are doing a very basic video which is I’ll be talking in every single
language that I know.
Which are Japanese, Turkish, English, and German.
I’ll timestamp every single thing as always that I
mentioned down in the description below so that you can skip to the part that you are
interested in.
So let’s get started.
The first language is Japanese.
When I decided to rumble in Japanese I wasn't sure what to talk about.
But, I decided to talk about lookism in Japan.
After the summer vacation I spent in Japan I came back to Turkey and my Turkish friend
and I decided to meet.
After coming back from Japan I had that Japanese thought of “I had to look representable.”
So, I did subtle makeup, did my hair, picked my outfit, and met my friend.
My friend was like why you tried so hard(lol)?
After that, I realized that I am in Turkey.
In Turkey, it's common to be very casual even you go outside.
There are of course lots of women who wear makeup but there are also plenty of people
who don't wear it.
In Japan, most of the time women wear makeup for work, going outside, etc.
Also, more men are starting to wear makeup these days in Japan.
But in Turkey usually, women wear makeup for special occasions, special events.
I think Turkish people are much more chill about the appearance compared to Japanese.
Usually in Turkey when you meet your friend you wear very comfy clothes like a sweatshirt,
sweatpants, t-shirts, etc.
And some people wear makeup some not.
Usually not.
My friend was like “why are you wearing makeup?
We’re just gonna chill.”
After spending only a couple of months I realized that Japanese lookism kinda affected me.
When I am in Japan, every day I kinda care about my appearance much more compared to
when I am in Turkey and it makes me so tired to care so much about it.
Even though I only stay for a couple of months and get exhausted, think about how much it
affects people who live in Japan.
But it has some good sides as well.
Because of that Japanese fashion, makeup, and skincare industries are so big and you
can find whatever you want.
Overall I believe the most important thing is to be confident in your skin but also enjoying
makeup etc.
So, makeup is fun but not a must.
I guess it’s the healthiest way to approach it.
It's not I can not go outside.
I didn't wear makeup, it's more like I wear makeup because I love it and enjoy it.
So, the next language is Turkish.
Today I want to share with you guys one of my favorite app which is audible.
This video is not sponsored at all.
Like why it would be right?
Anyways, if you can speak English, German, or Japanese idk any other language than Turkish
(because there is no content in Turkish yet) I would highly recommend Audible.
What is Audible?
Audible is an audiobook service.
Somebody reads a book for you.
I looked up Turkish audiobooks but there weren't any.
I don't know any other audiobook services out there but if it exists I would recommend
listening to an audiobook.
Let me explain how I use it.
I use it when I am on a bus or a train or walking down on the streets or idk whenever
I do housework.
(which I don't do) or during the times I tide up my room (which I don't do as well).
I put my earphones on.
I would recommend Bluetooth earphones by the way.
I speed up to 2,5 or 3 when I am listening.
If there is something that I found interesting I stop the audiobook and take a note on my
iPad or to my phone.
You can take notes on paper as well.
Then I integrate the note into my notion.
In notion, I have a book library.
In this library I rate the books that I have read, I write a summary, things that I learned,
etc.
I don't only take notes but I turn them into active-recall questions by using a toggle
list in notion.
It makes things easier to remember and also you can easily find whatever you are looking
for.
That's why I recommend using audible and notion together.
I use audible in English and Japanese.
Idk maybe I’ll start to use it in German as well.
Download notion as well.
It's my all-time favorite app.
So we are moving to German.
Let me explain why I can speak German.
I visited a sorta international German-Turkish highschool in Turkey (Cagaloglu Anadolu Lisesi).
There we had a prep year in German where you only learn German intensely.
Other years we had 8-15 German lessons per week.
During the prep year, we had 40 lessons per week.
So, let me now talk bout my exchange year in Germany.
I did a 6 months YFU-exchange in Berlin.
I was staying at my host family's house and that was an amazing 6 months in my life.
I love the German and the German language so frickin much.
German was my favorite subject back in high school.
I hated every other subject during school but I always enjoyed German lessons.
I went to German highschool during my exchange year.
It is called German-Hauptmann Gymnasium.
I was wondered that I could understand the lessons.
I thought I couldn't.
But I understood them and my math was very good.
I think Math lessons in Germany is not hard compared to Turkey.
In Turkey, Math lessons are so frickin hard like in Japan.
As everybody knows in Asia math is pretty important and we take very challenging math
lessons.
In Germany, you can use a calculator during the lessons.
Like what?
Then of course math becomes easier.
Math lessons are easy peasy lemon squeezy in Germany ;) I always got good grades in
math and the teacher was amazed by that.
And also my host family was very nice to me and my exchange year was excellent.
But I talked to my other friends who also did an exchange year told me that they don't
enjoy it.
So, I guess it depends on who you ask whether they love Germany.
But I love Germany and the language.
I realized that my German skills kinda getting worse so because I haven't been able to speak
them these days.
I will read more books in German and listen to audiobooks so that I don't forget German.
So, the last language is English.
I want to talk a little bit about the future of my channel.
I will be filming lots of language-related videos in near future for a couple of months,
but my channel is not going to be all about language.
This channel is not going to become a language channel.
I will be filming a lot of productivity videos, med school-related videos, self-improvement,
self-love, culture, makeup, skincare..about the things that I am interested in.
If you love those types of topics please subscribe to my channel.
I kinda felt like a YouTuberish right now by saying that.
But yeah:)
I will be happy if you subscribe to my channel.
If you don't feel like it, then don't.
It's completely fine but yeah.
I am also really happy that you guys comment on my videos.
I thought no one will comment on videos because I don't comment on videos when I watch on
Youtube.
If I liked the video, I like it.
If I dislike it, then I dislike it.
If you dislike my video it's totally ok.
Because you give me feedback and it's totally fine.
But if you want to dislike it, I would be so happy if you comment down below why.
So that I can improve myself.
I would be very happy if you guys can give me feedback about my videos, maybe things
that I can better, maybe things that I can add, maybe some video ideas.
Even though I have plenty of video ideas that are coming in near future, I would be happy
if you guys give me some suggestions.
SO yeah, that was it for this video.
I hope you enjoyed it.
It was fun for me.
If you have any further questions, let me know in the comment section down below.
I guess that was it.
Bye :)
