WELCOME BACK.
IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME.
FOR MANY STUDENTS IT'S DECISION
TIME ABOUT WHAT CLASSES THEY ARE
GOING TO TAKE.
DID YOU KNOW JOHN AND I
ACTUALLY MET IN A JAPANESE CLASS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANOA WAY
BACK WHEN.
JOINING US NOW, YUMIKO
ASAI-LIM AND KAZUKO NAKAMITSU.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF
TAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASS?
LEARNING SOMEBODY ELSE'S
LANGUAGE CAUSES YOU TO REALIZE
THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN
THE WAY OF THINKING AND THIS
LEARNING DIVERSITY ALLOWS YOU TO
ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLE'S POINT OF
VIEW AND IT MAKES YOU A BETTER
COMMUNICATOR.
SOME STUDENTS TAKE A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE, A SECOND LANGUAGE TO
BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS.
THAT'S A BENEFIT.
YUP.
FINALLY, IT DEFINITELY GIVES
YOU AN EDGE WHEN YOU'RE APPLYING
FOR A JOB.
YEAH.
IS ALL OF THE LEARNING DONE
IN CLASS?
WE'VE DONE ESSAY AND SPEECH
CONTEST AND MUSIC CONTEST.
THROUGH JAPAN CIRCLE OUR
STUDENTS GET INVOLVED IN SUCH
THING AS CALIGRAPHY AND JAPANESE
MOVIE NIGHT ALSO LEEWARD OFFERS
VARIOUS TYPES OF PROGRAMS AND SO
WHEN SISTER COLLEGE STUDENTS
COME FROM JAPAN EVERY YEAR.
SO IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE
LANGUAGE, IT'S ALSO THE CULTURE.
I LIKE THAT.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
LANGUAGES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR
FOLKS?
WE HAVE HAWAIIAN, JAPANESE,
KOREAN, CHINESE, SPANISH AND
FRENCH AND FILIPINO.
WOW, LOTS OF CHOICES.
WE'VE TAKEN JAPANESE AND
HAWAIIAN.
I HOPE TO GO TO SPAIN SO THAT'S
A LOIN I'D LIKE TO LEARN, AT
LEAST A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S NICE BECAUSE A LOT OF
PEOPLE COME BACK TO SCHOOL.
THEY ARE THERE TO LEARN.
YES.
WELL, THANK YOU BOTH FOR WEEK
HERE.
SINCE WE DID MEET IN JAPANESE
CLASS AND YOU ARE JAPANESE
INSTRUCTORS, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT
BE FUN TO PLAY A LITTLE GAME.
SURE.
TO SEE HOW MUCH WE REMEMBER
ABOUT THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE AND
WE BOTH WANT TO SAY WE REALLY
DON'T REMEMBER THAT MUCH.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF
I DON'T KNOWS.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO SAY A
VOCABULARY WORD AND WE HAVE TO
WRITE DOWN HOW MUCH IT IS.
IN ENGLISH.
HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?
THREE SECONDS.
OKAY.
WRITE IN ENGLISH.
OKAY.
I THINK SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE
BATHROOM.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID THAT BECAUSE I WAS
THINKING ALSO.
I SAID BATHROOM BUT IT WAS
BATHTUB.
I'M SORRY JUST IN CASE OUR
VIEWERS ARE STARTING TO TUNE IN,
WHOSE WINNING?
TRINI?
ALL RIGHT.
NEXT QUESTION.
I LOVE THE SOUND EFFECTS.
WATER.
I'M THINKING TOO HARD.
THE ONLY REASON I KNOW THIS
IS BECAUSE I USED TO MAKE
WHISKEY AND WATER.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'LL SAY FLOWERS.
I THINK I HAVE TO GO BACK TO
SCHOOL.
OKAY.
YOU MIGHT KNOW.
OH, MY GOSH.
THAT WAS TERRIBLE.
I JUST LIKE HEARING THEM
TALK.
I LOVE YOUR LITTLE SOUND
EFFECTS.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
THANK YOU.
FIRST PLACE PRIZE.
YAY.
SECOND PLACE PRIZE OR
ACTUALLY THE FIRST LOSER.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
THAT IS VERY SWEET OF YOU.
PUT PENTAGON ONE EYE WHERE
YOU MAKE A WISH OR GOAL AND WHEN
YOUR DREAM OR WISH COMES TRUE,
PAINT ON THE OTHER EYE.
NEXT TIME GIVE THIS TO ME
BEFORE WE START.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THEIR
INFORMATION ON THEIR WEBSITE.
BUT REMEMBER FOREIGN LANGUAGE
CLASSES IN COLLEGE.

WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE ON "LIVING
808" WHEN WE COME BACK.
