Bon ce post la, je suis oblige de le faire en Francais, puisqu’il est indispensable de parler et comprendre le Francais couramment afin de profiter pleinement des videos qui vont suivre…

Donc, grace aux merveilleux reseaux sociaux (en l’occurrence Facebook), je suis tombe sur cette video:

S’il faut bien avouer que certains sont tres tires par les cheveux, d’autres sont assez bien trouves et m’ont fait beaucoup rire… En fait, apres une petite recherche (tapez “hallucinations auditives” sur youtube), il est facile de trouver d’autres videos:

Je suppose que ca aide egalement d’avoir l’esprit mal tourne/pervers. Mais ca me fait penser aussi quand j’etais petit et que j’entendais une chanson en anglais ou autres (les gipsy kings). Vu que je comprenais rien, je remplacais par du Francais avec ce qui s’en rapprochait le plus… Mais je ne vais pas me rabaisser a donner un exemple :)

Fanta World - France

Thanks to Fanta, now Japan knows what we really like to drink, Muscat Fanta. Not to mention they already have Fanta Grape in Japan. Didn’t try Fanta France, but I am not a huge fan of Fanta Grape…

If you are French, you might have already heard about franponais, it’s when the Japanese use a French word and either it is completely mispelled or either it gets a very funny meaning. Here’s a good example:

Si on vous le dit...

Si on vous le dit...

I guess you can imagine what kind of stuff the shop is selling. It’s a shop close to Roppongi I think. Anyway, “C’est bien” in French means literally “It’s good”, you even have the katakanas below if you are unsure about pronunciation. I’m always amazed to see how French can be used in Japan …

This is just dynamite:

Dear IUJ students

Today, around 3pm, there was an exhibitionist on campus.  He left the area, and we don’t think he will come back.  But if you see a Black Prius car, license plate 3*-*7, on campus please report to the SPSC or the Guardman as soon as possible.

Please take care.  Thank you.

Some funny videos of people living dangerously. These videos all show people trying to dunk the ball into the basket, but sometimes it is harder than what you could imagine.

My selection of the best 5:

It’s always good to have basics: grammar, vocabulary, kanjis… But many people studying Japanese actually wonder why what they hear in the drama they are watching and their japanese book is so different.

Don’t look further, I got the perfect books for you. I saw them at the last floor of Tower Records, in Shibuya.

True Japanese Books

True Japanese Books

Ok, first, the best-seller for gaijins: “Making Out in Japanese“. Available here for example. Actually this book covers the “making out” part but also daily situations. Pretty interesting, and quite different from any of the textbooks you’ve ever read.

Then you have “Outrageous Japanese“. Available here for example. Funny. Apparently some parts are outdated but I’m no expert.

Last but not least, “The Real Japanese You Were Never Taught in School“. This one might actually be the most outdated.

The point is you don’t read these kind of books because you actually want to learn something, but because it’s funny.

In these books, there were sentences of the “Take it, bitch!”-style, or “Please hurry and come in me, I have a date with my boyfriend”. “Oh Johnny, you’re so great. I’m like the Niagara Falls down there.”

Things you will never use when speaking Japanese or that you will never use before asking a Japanese friend “Is that correct?”.

Of course, you might now Pfizer produces Viagra, but they laso have products such as Lipitor or Zyvox. But I guess only Viagra is known worldwide.

And just in case you did not see what is actually inside the blue liquid:
