Hey guys and girls on Japanese it's Cathy Cat and today we're going to do a Japanese language
quiz test with you guys. I have a app here and what the director and I made out is every time I get a
question on the Busuu app and I get it right I get 10 cents but if I get one question even
one question wrong I lose a full dollar so obviously that translates into Japanese
money so we're doing this with yen but we're gonna try our best and see how many questions are gonna
get right and wrong on this app now guys uh the app is called Busuu and what we find what I find
personally interesting is ... this app has other languages it's not just Japanese so here we go
All right here we go so we have complete Japanese, Japanese for travel, hiragana
katakana and kanji and we're gonna go for "Japanese for travel" and gonna do
only the odd lesson so we're gonna start with lesson one let's see ...there you go let's do this
Vocabulary start... happy looking people here's a tip welcome to the travel course
as soon as we cover the fully essential phrases all right let's do it
App: Sumimasen. Gomen nasai.
Here you go, yep, apologising.
Busuu App: Sumimasen
Okay once my first ten cents are here are done. "Sumimasen" doesn't mean "I don't understand."
App: Wakarimashita. Wakarimasen.
App: I can speak a little English.
Ok
Moving "speak a little English" and "Wakarimasen"
Gomen nasai. Now you can match it. Here we go. It feels a little bit like...
an app game. App: Can you speak slower?
App: Can you write this down?
That's true
App: Can you speak slower?
Alright App: What does Exit mean?
App: Can you speak English?
Hey there we go matching three and we're good good good how are you how are you guys
how are you guys doing this at home?
Strong start don't stop now keep going next up memorize
Sumimasen or Gomen-mimasen?!
Deguchi (exit) ha do you imi (meaning) desu ka?
App: Kaite itadakemasu ka. C: Can you write it down?
hmm? (sees same word twice)
Okay maybe they just gave it an extra option to throw you off.
okay almost there don't stop now it has a little bit of progress feel of like app games it's clever
App: Can I purchase city tour tickets?
App: Sorry there is no tour today.
Ok that's like listening skills.
App: What does "bank holiday" mean?
okay okay we're good that was a long one
oh okay that definitely has a like I get the same reward feels I get from
checking messages or playing app games you know that all that bling bling and shiny things on
the screen it does feel good also it tells you that what streaks you're having right now
18 words learned in six active days I see I see
play with the app... it's a little bit like playing in a way you know what I mean okay
we're gonna skip lesson two and go straight to lesson three "getting around" start all right
App: How can I get to the airport?
Saishuu densha is the last train...
App: When does the next bus leave?
WHEN DOES next but LEAVE?
Noooo!
You caught me I was going way too fast I wasn't reading properly... the regret the regret

When is it o-
Booyah!
Am I finished yet? Am I? One more! more one more okay keep keep going
they really cheer you on during that lesson... this is the point when usually the
attention drops but they're like "come on you can do it you can do it" oh wait a second show me what
Lesson nine is included it is finished anyways director what is the score?
oh that's good I can work with that so you do transfer it but but
remember guys yeah that's just a game between me and the
director you're not getting cash because you're playing the app
We bought 3 sandwiches with the "prize money"
And we got exactly three sandwiches from Lawson100 which is like a Lawson store that
also has like it's a little bit different from the normal lawsons we're gonna find
out whether they're fraud sandwiches or not because we made a popular video series about it
let's find out fraud or not... from the front they look pretty good and well
filled but we're going to find out whether they're fraud or not.
All right this one here got slightly squished it's ham then it's tuna egg ham and lettuce
tuna egg ham and lettuce.... fraud or not fraud? fraud or not fraud.... three two one
i guess it's okay ish you're getting soggy already ham
the tomato is good but the ham is very sparse... egg usually egg is one that is
usually filled filled all the way to the top in both stores so let's find out yep
egg is always filled to the brim oh my gosh next one ham and egg three two one
not so bad.... an egg in one go.... loads of egg and a little bit of ham
not bad not bad ....some salad three two one all right
most expensive one that's the pork cutlet... oh poor cutlet looking good oh look at this oh
it's like trying to escape there's so much pork cutlet going on you thought you're meeting
piglet ... here we go open yes okay that's well filled this is actually one of the cheaper stores
and the sandwiches are pretty good for them being so cheap so
that was our challenge that wasn't so bad I had fun we have now a lot of sandwiches
