Homeworks 4 and 5

4) Your homework is to write about the student you talked to today. Describe their answers to the topics you discussed.

My partner was a friend of mine, so I already knew her pretty well. But was nice to read some of her answers to the topics on the worksheet; I learned some new things about her that I didn't know before :)

5) 1.Are feelings emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc..?2. Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese. ( 10 minimum) Now write the English translation.3. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?

I think that some emotions are pretty universal, like happy and sad. I think every langauge, as different as they may be to one another, has a basic word for happy and sad. Facial expressions though, I'm no so sure of. Smiling is the universal sign of happiness, but in my case, even though Im happy I may not smile a lot. So some people may interpret that Im upset about something

Emotions... 嬉しい、悲しい、眠い、楽天、いらいら、怒る、驚いている、心配、安心、がっかり　(Happy, sad, sleepy, optimistic, annoyed, angry, surprised, worried, relieved, disappointed...? I hope haha)

Im still learning... not sure about this last part. めんどくさい？
