Beginning Japanese

 私ははるやすみにワシントンD.C.のじっかまでうんてんしました。それからほんをよみました。スーパーでにくややさいをかいましたが、でもあまりばんごはんをつくりませんでした。ワシントンD.C.がすきです。

I happened to run into this video organically in my youtube algorithm, and thought it was very amusing. While obviously the cat has no real understanding of the noises it's making in the way a human would, hearing it sound so similar to "ひゃくえーん” was fascinating. It's probably an extreme example of cats mimicking human speech, but even considering that, it's a cool oddity.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hQpnyGSMCU

 しゅうまつにいえにかえりますそれからしちじごろばんごはんをたべます。らいしゅのもくようびにテストがいますだからどようびにファイナンスをべんきょします。にちようびにほんをよみます。

 This time I found a different video that I thought was interesting, though in a similar vein as the previous one. It's a video about how to properly make an omelet, with good presentation and everything. I found it especially interesting to see the similarities between the way I make omelets at times, though I could definitely stand to adopt some of the youtuber's corrections, as I especially struggle with the ultimate shape of the omelet. For instance, I usually don't apply any seasonings until after I complete the omelet, and while that's not necessarily related to the shape of the omelet, it's an interesting change I might adopt on my own. It's fascinating to see how similar dishes can be executed differently across disparate cultures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKQzbDvHrlM

 I'm a fan of cooking, so I like to learn more wherever I can. Japan has a very rich culinary culture as well, and maybe unsurprisingly because of that, a lot of very large cooking channels on platforms like youtube. While there are many longer videos out there that go through a lot more detail, it might not be the best choice for a post like this.  https://youtube.com/shorts/5JJ_ogZ6QLU?si=QcveTrZ6ZMUr3W8e This video is a very quick recipe for oyakodon, a recipe I definitely plan on giving a shot sometime. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn a lot more from these videos as I improve my Japanese language skills and can take in more detailed information.
