2011年2月Kemushi Contest: Japanese Bilingual Cooking Books! + Bonus Materials

[yukanpan]

I love your videos! すごい！わたしも英語頑張りますｗ

[MsMeizhi]

Cute video ^_^ can't wait to see more!!

[mydearcassandra]

Your Japanese is great.

But you should use 早く instead of 速く.

The former means "soon" while the latter means "fast".

[kemushichan]

@mydearcassandra Thanks so much!! Haha these two kanji are the two that I ALWAYS mess up! I think I've made a mistake everytime I use them in my LIFE. Now I always get scared to write it and go back and forth about which one to use... but then ALWAYS GET IT WRONG! AHHHHHH. Hehe. =) Ganbarimasu!

Tokorode, I just looked at your channel and I really like it! I've subscribed so I won't miss what's next from you! :)

[mydearcassandra]

@kemushichan

Thanks for the sub :) You're the 200's subscriber on my channel.

Telling between those kanji may be trivial thing for beginners.

But I pointed it out since I thought you were undoubtedly an advanced learner.

[kemushichan]

@mydearcassandra Ohh!!! Yay!

:) Definitly, but 今の自分の日本語の問題というのは細かいところを洗練された日本­語にするということですね…頑張ります！

[adshap8]

ナイスコンテスト。ちなみにカメラは大丈夫ですか。最近ちょっと­画質がおかしくなったりするんですね

[kemushichan]

@adshap8 あらっ！気づいた？！長い話したくないけど…二年前まるちゃん会­社のでかいマイナス３０°冷蔵庫にそれを考えずに持って入ってし­まったから、あれからどんどんダメになちゃってる～～～

[adshap8]

@kemushichan 気づいてしまった。でもほんの少しだけですね。殆ど問題ないです­！けむしちゃんはいつもいいビデオを作っているから多分誰もかま­わないと思いますよ～！

[kemushichan]

@adshap8 Oh! And the lighting in this room at the time was terrible so this video is actually REALLY dark but i color/whitebalanced like no other... でも証拠残ってたもんね～

[gxcad]

There is a lot of Japanese words I know how to use but don't EXACTLY know what they mean...like "jishichuu". I mean, I heard it enough times to know how to use it and approximately what it means, but if you asked me to explain, I wouldn't know where to start. Well, I do know the chuu part...in the process of. Whats 'jishi'?

[kemushichan]

@gxcad haha seriously. Its like... to Run or .... ugh... *looks it up*... AHHH "implement" or "carry out" ...like fancy word for "doing something planned..."

[kemushichan]

@iamredapple1993 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[JCarrollG2]

[cslworldwide]

Congratulations, Jasmine! Love the contests @ Kemushi. It's really gonna make us want to study more just for the fun of it. And who knows, we might even learn something along the way.

[kemushichan]

@cslworldwide =)

[Dyakki]

Haha, 'desu wa.' :]

First non native speaker I've heard say that. You are cute. n_n

[kemushichan]

@Dyakki Hehe oops! Yeah... I don't remember where I picked it up but I tend to imitate people really well...

[gxcad]

@kemushichan 'Desuwa' is almost certainly an anime...?

[kemushichan]

@gxcad an anime???

[Dyakki]

It's OK, it's cute. n_n

[NiShaCoRnEr]

I'm pretty sure I sent an e-mail, but I don't think I gave all the right information. SHould I resend?

I don't want to be redundant...lol

[kemushichan]

@NiShaCoRnEr I just checked and there hasn't been an email from you; can you resend?

[pokemongurl93]

I love these contests *3* ! I like your videos too! and your japanese :3 I didn't receive an email even thought I'm 99% sure I already signed up,do you suggest I sign up again? :D

@LincolnScott1 Linc Linc Linc! FINALLY you subscribe! =P What took you so long? Anyway, thanks for the support hehe! Yeah, one of my favorite Youtubers KurtHugoSchneider started doing that at the end of his videos and I thought it was a ridiculously good idea!

[FindMeInKurume]

You are such a great YouTuber! I really enjoy watching your vids, Thanks for sharing with us as always. I liked this video as well, because you are so kind and you really show how much you care about others learning about Japan and it's culture. That is a very admirable quality you possess. Thank you for so many contests! (not entering this one, just wanted to comment on how awesome you are)

[kemushichan]

@FindMeInKurume Thank you so much for the support! I'm pretty sure you're automatically entered into this contest anyway but there are BOATloads of new entries so your chances of winning are pretty competitive anyway :). Plus, if you do win you can always share with a friend or classmate if you don't personally want yummy food!

[kemushichan]

@mrraeREN Wooo~! I hope you've entered the contest then! :)

[inscribedswara]

Wow, I'm marveling over you fast you have gotten in Japanese! Do you make any dishes from the recipe books you received?

[kemushichan]

@inscribedswara yup! I normally dont use cook books but I often use books like these as a reference to help me remake my old favorites from living in Japan :) yum~!

[Jaylani]

I have that book Recipes of Japanese cooking! It's good. I made Niku Jaga the other day and it lasted a week!

[kemushichan]

@Jaylani AWESOME! Did you find it in the US? I was so happy and proud of my hostpapa when I saw it in a US store!!!

[TheViewOfCalvin]

Woah! That's just what I need :D

Can everyone enter the contest even though on do not live in the US?

[kemushichan]

@TheViewOfCalvin Woo awesome! Yes! Anyone who has a mailing address in the globe can enter! Just make sure you're over 13 or have your parents permission to give out your address in the case that you won :)

[gare7171]

「""有償""おめでとうございます」you mean I would be charged if I won? LOL

[kemushichan]

@gare7171 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH kanji fail! >< this is why I shouldn't subtitle late at night!!!

[wordzworth5th]

It's nice seeing a young American speaking a foreign langauge. I wish I had time to improve my Japanese, but I have started a Chinese (Mandarin) class at my uni, which to some ppl's surprise is nothing like Japanese, not even a little bit. Hehe. I will eventually move back to Japanese, I have to my in-laws are Japanese. Well, I love your vids keep it up!!

[kemushichan]

@wordzworth5th thank you! And congratulations on your new class! I remember how excited I and other students were when new languages became available on campus! You're doing a great thing!

[JCarrollG2]

Ill try to enter but ive been so busy..hopefully tomorrow. see ya

John.lol

[kemushichan]

@JCarrollG2 too busy for great things? Ohhhhh boo!

[gtoyas]

コンテストとはいいアイディアですね。でもあなたの宝物を惜しげ­もなく懸賞に出すなんて太っ腹！というかつらくないですか？

[kemushichan]

@gtoyas そんなことないですよ！コンテストに出るものは私も全部もう一つ­持っているから日本にいなくてまたは行けない方のためにチャンス­を作りたいのです。このコンテストは全部私一人だけでやっている­ことではなくて『毛虫ちゃん』と言う私の新しい会社の下でやって­入るプロジェクトです。

[gtoyas]

@kemushichan すごい！

[JaydeeVonJ]

The cookbook sounds really interesting. I'd feel a bit strange signing up. I think I'd rather someone who is just learning Japanese win.

[kemushichan]

@JaydeeVonJ well, you have until March to decide!!! =)

[kemushichan]

@JaydeeVonJ Plus, if you're interested in Japanese culture these would be great to have too!

[theleftflank]

...always impressed with your prowess as a confident speaker of Mandarin. Indeed, it fuels my own ambitions.

[kemushichan]

@theleftflank Thank you for the nice comment! But.... it's Japanese!!!

[theleftflank]

@kemushichan You know what!? I just realized that when I visited your page. My sister will be so unheavenly disappointed, as she's corrected me dozens of times before. Sheeeesh! Ok then :-)

[kemushichan]

@theleftflank  Hehe!
