hello everybody welcome to tokyo
creative play i'm your host emma today
i'm here with
charlotte and i'm also here with sarah
you probably don't know sarah yet but
she is a new member of techa creative
and also she's going to be in this video
for a very special reason you are kind
of new to tokyo
but you used to live in kyoto yes for
two years which is kansai
and today we're going to be doing a
video on kansai ben and there's a reason
for this
this video is in collaboration with
another company called gogo nihon and
during these hard times right now in the
world we wanted to really work with
another company that has
similar kind of interests and values as
us and we wanted to work and support
each other so
that's why we're working with them today
now go gettinghorn have just come out
with some online courses
and they're really really good for
teaching japanese to beginners but right
now we're a little bit more advanced
than the beginner stage
but they have a kansai bank course which
i know nothing but yeah i don't know
anything about cancer
that's right and we're going to be doing
some
knowledge wow also we have okana monster
we're going to be making some
okonomiyaki i'm just going to be
following along and
yeah let's have a good time
so while we're making okonomiyaki mix i
would like to ask you guys what kind of
kansai then
do you know just off the top of your
head in it um
so can you guys tell me in standard
japanese what is really
yeah that's right so now i want you guys
to write down what you think it is
really no idea okay let's show our
answers
i have hondo that sounds more like total
oh really yeah and the answer is
oh no how's mine looking right i don't
know too thick
too thick okay
going on to the next pizza today can you
guys tell me what no good
in japanese is damn it yes that's right
do i have an egg how about you're
supposed to have added you can add it
any time now it's fine okay so yeah
all right let's show our answers in
three two one
i did oh my god oh my god
so the answer is
it's probably from watching downtown oh
like that comedy champion
yeah do i add an egg you should yeah
okay
mine's very watery and i'm gonna add an
egg so this is going well
so i also wanted to ask you about like
your experiences traveling in kansai
because you've traveled across japan a
lot i feel like well since i'm way up in
toku i don't really come down to kansai
that often
yeah it's by paul i have been to kyoto
several times of course and osaka
um but other than that the one that
stands out is uh i really like
otsu i found it to be like a chilled
version of kyoto
yeah and they have like yeah and like
lots of
temples for me i'm mainly yeah it's just
almost like that in kyoto to be honest
but i really like
osaka a lot i i don't know it's such a
very very very different vibes
so i want to ask you guys how many
prefectures are there i have no idea
bound to guess i'd say 10.
i have no idea seven
area we have seven different prefectures
but each one has a different
intonation and slightly different like
accent so depending on the area they'll
be
very and t-man is from shiga and so his
kansai accent is really distinct to that
area
so can you guys tell me what idiot is in
normal standard japanese
yes now do you have any idea what that
could be in
i feel like it comes off quite a bit it
starts with us the answer is
ah
that's one that like everyone uses i
have no idea
okay
let's try this again all right good luck
we have no idea
okay so we have a couple more questions
left the next one is
i don't know what would that be in
normal japanese
all right show answers in three two one
before that i'd like to quiz you guys on
just
knowledge i think you might have already
heard this but in kansai
they stand on the right hand side of the
escalator yeah you eat that
so stressful yeah so you might like out
of habit being on the left side but yeah
like everyone's like trying to get past
you yeah yeah
it's always a train station that i find
hard like if you get a fishing content
and you get an escalator it's like oh no
okay do an animal person the able
sisters speak counselling
do that because in english yeah i i
switch
so we have a new question from t-man the
kansai jin
he's asking us which is the cutest
dialect of all of japan there's a
ranking every year at this release but
we have to guess the top three the
cutest
yeah it's like kawaii okay i think this
is
[Applause]
[Music]
so when you're in a restaurant in kansai
you wouldn't say
there's another way to say it oh i don't
know
if this is closed you just don't need
that um
there's another way to say it which i
only like for the first time today
[Applause]
so what was your favorite word from
today you guys i just love her hearing
yarn so much
and everything yeah anything with the
yarn it was just like oh
man yeah yeah we're gonna use that yeah
it's gonna be our fault
so i hope you guys both had fun today
with this kansai then quiz
yeah we tried out the consignment course
from go go nihon but they've also
released
a online beginners level japanese course
which is really comprehensive it's a
12-week course and the best thing about
it is you can do it anywhere
around the world it actually follows the
curriculum of akamonkai one of the
biggest language schools
in tokyo so when you finish the 12-week
course you actually get a certificate
i think you reach n5 level after the
course as well oh nice another great
thing about the course is there's a huge
online community where you can talk in a
forum you can ask the teacher directly
like questions
anything from the course we also have a
survey going on at the moment so please
go into the description and fill out the
survey if you want or if you can
and if you fill out the server you go
into the running to win some actually
really awesome prizes
uh you can do some of the courses for
free of charge uh and also
it depends on your japanese level what
prizes you'll get so it's kind of
catered to you
yeah we'd also like to announce that we
have an exclusive tc bundle deal just
for you guys where you can enroll in the
beginners course for 12 weeks
