About Communication

The most early phase of the brainstorming process has been rather challenging for our group, reason being we were having a somewhat hard time figuring out what the exact message we aimed to convey to students of different origins should be. The solution to this would be effective communication. To me, in regard to this very podcast project, communication means delivering an underlying message by exhibiting a story, a plotline or at least a set of dynamic scenes instead of simply paraphrasing the message. This, however, doesn't mean that communication should be vague and open to too much interpretation.

What I look forward to learning from working on this podcast includes accurately capturing what types of topics are most attractive to a diverse audience base, effectively establishing connections between each scene and each point we look to make and, of course, conducting conversations and monologues with natural Japanes.

アニメと食べ物とどちらがほしかったですか？

日本のアニメをたくさん見（み）ていませんが、それはこの世界（せかい：world）の中で、一番有名な（ゆうめいな）で、好きなアニメです。

「一番好きなアニメはどれですか？」は全然（ぜんぜん）難（むず）しくない質問（しつもん）です：「ハウルの動く城」（Howl's Moving Castle)　です！これは一人のウィザードと一人の女の子と一人の悪（わる）くて強い（つよい：powerful）魔女（まじょ：witch）のお話（おはなし：story）です。

ここでお話のプロットを見せたくないですが、面白い（おもしろい）何か話（はな）さなければなりません。アニメで、ハウルさんは卵（たまご）とハムの作ること（つくること：making, cooking）がとても上手ですから、それから一週間（いっしゅかん）に卵とハムを五回食べました、何か他のもの（anything else）をたべたくなかったですから！
