I've heard the grammar is similar, I haven't really learnt any grammar yet in my 4 weeks of korean :P
There are some words that are really similar like Yakusoku is Yaksok
They just have an alphabet (Hangul) but the pronunciation is soooo much harder than japanese, they have like three different vowels for 'o'

I started watching drama in korean this break and I've picked up new vocab here and there and am starting to get an understanding of the language :) (Also it's becoming more fun as well ! )

WHAT SORTA KOREAN DRAMA ARE YOU WATCHING???

jibba:
I don't know many yet XD
But I'm watching 'You're Beautiful'
I've seen the Japanese version (Ikemen Desu ne) and heard that the original korean version was better (I'd have to agree :D)

hey jibba,

I'm currently studying Jap 3/4 atm and as the oral examinations are coming up, I'm having a very hard time finding and/or choosing a sub-topic to talk about.... which is really starting to make me worry if I can do well, especially since in these past few months I've really come to like Japanese as a language and a culture... D:
My teacher is strongly recommending to my class school life, but I don't feel like I can do too much with it, so I was wondering if you could construct a list of sub-topics and the ones you'd recommend

Also, I think its great you've made this thread to help jap students like me :D and I'm very surprised you were able to pull off a topic like vocaloids O: I'm sure you deserved that 50 :D

Thanks :)v

Hey Al
If you would like to talk about something related to school life, you could maybe talk about entrance exams for high schools and universities in Japan. That could lead onto Juku (cram school tutoring), pressure on students, negatives such as sleep deprivation (I heard from my school teacher that there is a saying that if you sleep more than 4-5 hours, you cannot pass!)
You could also maybe talk about students who 'take a gap year' (best way I can put it) because they didn't get into their no.1 university preference, and attend another form of cram school in order to pass the entrance exam for the uni the following year.
I've also seen that some elitist schools in Japan rank students in the year level based on their marks, that may be a topic of discussion when comparing the school system to Australia.

Other school related topics could be bullying, maybe a bit depressing but high school suicides are quite common in Japan (the entrance exam pressure may also be a factor)
Other more fun topics could be bukatsu (club activities) or the Gakuensai (a school festival that schools commonly hold yearly)
That's my brainstorming off the top of my head, but I would recommend choosing a topic you are genuinely interested in! This will make memorization and research a lot more fun and efficient
Good Luck!
