We held a off line meeting yesterday at Sakura Cafe Hatagaya.
We welcomed 5 guests. They are twitter-followers of Sakura Cafe Hatagaya and their friends include Korean and American who study Japanese.
Cheers!!
Guests enjoyed drinking worldwide selection of beer
I was on duty and drank water.
They tried our new dessert menu too.
Upper one is Cramel Nuts Paratha (Indian flat-read) and the other one is Strawberry&Chocolate Cream Paratha. Strawberry&Chocolate is more popular than Caramel Nuts among them.
We talked a lot over beer (over water for me).
I'd just like to share the most impressive story.
Korean woman (one of participants) was taught one Japanese sentence "Hitomebore shimashita" as a greeting only for men by her friend when she began to study japanese.
Do you know what "Hitomebore shimashita" means?
It means that "it's love at first sight with you".
She used it a lot till she realized the real meaning of it.
Do you study Japanese? Do you have a Japanese friend?
If so, do you remember what is the first sentence you learn by your kind friend?
The first sentence that I learn was Watashi wa MIsaki desu. (Misaki-san was my sensei)
She talked pointing to her nose, and asked me if I knew the translation. I said: "Easy ! You have something in your nose!" Lol
Well she teached the meaning me and that was my first sentence!
Watashi wa Livi desu!
Kisses to you all
Livi
Thank you for your sharing. If I were in your country and asked the same question, my answer would be likely to be the same as you.
