Poster for KCAI Language Community

-

    

 While I was making my poster I was focused on one thing, making sure it caught the vibe of a Japanese class without it seeming offensive. the site I used to help create the poster had cool graphics that I could have used but It seemed too extravagant. I don't claim to know everything about the culture and I don't want to seem offensive, even on accident. That's why my poster is very simple for the most part. A simple design at the bottom as well as the Japanese kanji for prosperity. I had to search this up sure, but I rather be correct than have to translate it on my own. As for the reason for the kanji, I thought it fit because we want all people who learn Japanese (or any language for that matter) to prosper and learn the language as best they can. Prosper and thrive as they say.
    I think it's important to establish community early on when taking on a big project like this. It makes a safe space and a place to learn from one another as well. You also learn faster in groups I feel, as you soak up more from different points of view and learning speeds.

    I am truly impressed with the amount of care that went into designing and creating it. Excellent choice of kanji. And YES i want our Japanese learning community to be a safe place where we can make mistakes and grow as language users. Well done!

Katakana Chart

       Learning Katakana was a bit of a different experience from learning and writing Hiragana. The symbols are much sharper, with fewer loops and softer edges. I remember writing the letters and having to make fast strokes and hold the pencil in a certain way so that I didn't accidentally make the line too long or too short. As well as timing, I feel that went into making sure the letters were at the very least readable. I found the letters to be a bit harder to remember strangely enough, despite how simple the shapes appear to be. I do know that 'RO' looks like a little box and I find that cute and memorable. Like learning Hiragana, this is like learning to write basic words in English in preschool and kindergarten. Matching the shapes and symbols to the pictures shown again is humbling. I feel like a kid again. I find it weird that there have been two writing systems for, speaking mostly English all my life. I won't claim to understand it, but I don't shun it...

Shopping

  Shopping in Japan and here in America is fairly similar. You can still go to malls here despite the many dead ones and they have many shops to choose from. The mall in the special video I saw was much cooler than the one I went to. Three floors and it looks much newer than the one I'm used to. The one I go to seems like it hasn't had an update in years and the shops seem... shady. Maybe that's just the lighting. The Japanese mall has a bunch of cool shops as well, some you would expect and some you wouldn't. Toy stores, clothes stores, and restaurants are all expected. What I wasn't expecting was just an entire grocery store in the mall. That caught me off guard, you technically only expect clothes and whatnot in malls. There were also a lot of arcades which was very cool to see. There's a lot of cool stuff in malls and I wonder why malls where I live are so uninteresting. The only mall I can think of that's as interesting would be the Mall of America with...
