Me & Japanese
During Homework
What I hear:
A: What do you like to eat, Japanese or Western-style food?
B: Hmm.. I like them both the same. But I eat Japanese more. Like, I have tempura at the soba shop everyday.
A: Oh but aren't you scared that when you go abroad it won't be the same.
B. Ehh, I don't really want to go abroad.
What is actually being said:
A: Which do you eat more, Japanese or Western?
B: I eat them about the same. However, I like Japanese more. I eat tempura or soba for lunch
A: What will you eat in a foreign country?
B: I don't go to foreign countries very often. I don't want to live abroad if I don't have too.
Me: Huh... close enough.
During the test:
What I hear:
John and Tanaka work at the university. John doesn't have a car. John and Tanaka talk to someone about getting to work. John gets to work fifteen minutes late. Someone doesn't understand something...
The questions I'm given:
1. Who did John call at 8' o'clock? Who picked up?
2. Why did he call?
3. When did someone pick up the phone?
4. Why didn't Tanaka understand John?
Me: WTF....
What is actually said:
John and Tanaka work at the embassy. John's car won't start this morning so he called Tanaka at the embassy. It was eight o'clock. No one answered. So John called again at eight fifteen. Tanaka answered, but he couldn't understand John because the phone was broken.
