Web Search

Thanks for the tips about refining searches. Some were new to me and very useful. I find it really hard to search in Japanese though, as I can't read the results/web pages. はずかしい！！That's not to say there is nothing I understand, but just that there is too much kanji, which puts me off so I can imagine how students feel. The image results were interesting. I actually found the English one more useful here, as it showed the parts of Japanese housing that is different from Western housing, which is usually what we are wanting to highlight. In the Japanese image search, there were more images of building companies, house designs etc. Interesting to see the difference!

The video is funny. It reminded me of a segment on Spicks and Specks where they translated song lyrics into Japanese using an online translator, then back into English and the contestants had to guess the song. It was very funny! I have found the ending of the show, where the guy is singing 'The Way We Were' after the lyrics had been put into Japanese and then back into English using an online translator. haha, funny!
