Ahiru or Kamo? Learn Japanese with Ducks, Genki & Metal Festival Chaos | Nihongo to English Ep. 19

In Episode 19 of Nihongo to English, Michael Allen CPA and Michelle MaliZaki talk about tobacco festivals, sister cities, heavy metal, mosh pits, ducks, and college majors before working through more Genki Japanese practice. 

This episode includes:

• beginner Japanese practice with simple yes/no questions
• Genki vocabulary about school, majors, years in college, and belongings
• a lively detour into heavy metal festivals, mosh pits, and concert culture
• a surprisingly long discussion about whether duck in Japanese is ahiru or kamo
• side quests involving Pokémon, Animal Crossing, handkerchief games, and geese
• more chaotic bilingual conversation that somehow still helps you learn Japanese 

If you like learning Japanese while listening to two comedians wander through ducks, metal festivals, and textbook exercises, this episode is for you.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

Yeah. All right. Sorry for being such a cynic, you know. No, I can't prove that any particular download is coming from wherever. But it's a it's a fact that there are um some podcast indexing services. And then like, because you know, sometimes you can go onto a website and it'll just sort of be like, oh, why do they have all this information about the Nihongoto English podcasts? But it's just a website that just indexes a bunch of podcasts and then like tries to sell advertising space or whatever it is they're trying to do. So it doesn't mean that they're like an active listener, they could just be like a they could just be like uh indexing podcasts around the world, you know. But if we're getting but hey, if we're getting 77 downloads, they're not all robots. I'm not saying it's all, I'm just saying a couple of them. Maybe three. Yeah, yeah. Three or four, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Kongshu kyo uh doyobi kara Raisu Raishu na ni surunda. Raisu uh te has uh no houstan. Uh jigoku no hido jigoku no hido or jij jigoku no hiro tachi. Hell heroes matsuri ni itara minasama jigoku no hido. Well, first it's like uh tabun bando wa jigoku no hiro demo yapari minasama jikoku kutoh. We are hell hero. Hi, uh right.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

So he's a ni. Uh he ji elbow. Uh nine. I guess you're talking about it. Yeah. It's like an organized chaos, you know, and like no one really wants to get hurt. Like there's a bit of pushing and there's a bit of like, oh, we're all kind of bumping into each other. There's like a physical uh and yeah, it can I mean it can be dangerous.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

The choreographed pushing.

SPEAKER_03 7:33

Well, it's the audience. So it's not but like you're not supposed to just go up to a stranger and just shove them.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

Uh yeah, yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03 7:40

But there is kind of like if you're like a really big guy, if you're like really huge and you're in the mosh, but then it's kind of like you're kind of like a target where people can like because you're not because like so people can kind of like bump in. You can like kind of bump into people a little bit. Yeah, yeah. And then if they're like, oh yeah, I'm into that, you try and match their energy a bit. So it's kind of it's dan really, it's an odorides. Hey, think of the think of the uh Tokamachi Ondo. Like, what do they do? There's like a big pole in the middle and uh they walk around it in a circle. Yeah. So imagine just that, except people are bumping into each other and going, ah, and drinking beer and stuff. I know, but but you're still just going around in a circle. Yeah, it's very and then so then so there's ma marunos. Tate mite choto uh bari outs guru. Then there's the mosh pit. Hi, moshuri ton discussion. Like gomibako.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

Gomibako trash can?

SPEAKER_03 9:10

Omoides uh to hito mo omoides keto junin ka jugo jugonin ka ni junin, amina sanga gateo a gete ko uh nani uh uhunai kada. Kedo this is sort of Japanese, right? It's a little dangerous, but if everyone if it's like an omikoshi. If everyone is working together to put their hands on and everyone's looking up and everyone's really paying attention to where it's going, then it if everyone works together, it's gonna be fine. And I think that's how it is for even these metal festivals that look like oh, everyone's pushing and shoving and it looks all dangerous. But if everyone's working together and everyone's looking out, there's a couple of rules in the mosh pit, and one of them is like if someone falls down, you you help them back up immediately. You never just leave someone falling down. You know, you help people up. So like there's these like community rules, and if people kind of violate those rules, then someone will come around and be like, no, you get out, just get out of the mosh pit, you're not being safe, you know. Yeah, there's big Japanese metal.
