漢字だけだと書くのに手間がかかります
でも、日本語は英語のように単語ごとに区切られてなく
つながっているのでひらがなだけだとわかりにくいです
そのため、漢字とひらがなを組み合わせています

カタカナはいろいろな言葉に使うんだけど
主に外国から来た言葉に使います

例えば、ピザ
発音も似ています

最近、インターネット上では顔文字も使うようになりました



日本人が使う文字の種類
日本人は3種類の文字を使う


あなたのアメリカの友人に紹介するように話してください
私が動画を完成させたあと、合ってるか確認してほしい

Translation

Writing in just kanji takes a lot of time.
However, unlike English Japanese does not have spaces between words, and because they aren't separated it can be hard to understand when something is written in hiragana only.
That is why both kanji and hiragana are used together.

Katakana is used for a variety of words, but its main use is for words that have come from foreign countries.

For example, "piza" (pizza)
The pronunciation is also similar.

Recently, emoticons have also started to become popular online.



Japanese people use a variety of characters.
Japanese people use three different sets of characters.


Please speak as if you were explaining this to an American friend.
Once I complete the video, I would like you to check if it matches properly.

今日は日本の花見という文化を紹介します。

日本語で花はflower、見は見るを意味します。
つまり、花見とは花を見ることです。
何の花を見るかというと、桜を見ます。

公園や寺で食事をしたり酒を飲みながら桜を見ることを花見と言います

桜は日本の国花になっていて、日本人はとても好きです。
桜は3月~4月にかけて満開になり、
街中でよく見かけるようになります。
日本人の多くは、桜をみるととても美しいと感じます

花見の習慣は古く千年以上前からあります
千年前から桜を美しいと感じる感覚は変わらないようです



Translation

Today I will introduce the culture of "hanami."

In Japanese, "hana" means "flower" and "mi" means "view."
Therefore, "hanami" is the act of viewing flowers.
If you are curious what kind of flowers, the answer is cherry blossoms.

In parks and temples we eat drink while looking at the cherry blossoms, and we call this "hanami."

Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan, and Japanese people really like them.
They bloom in March / April, and they can be seen throughout many cities.
Most Japanese people feel that cherry blossoms are very beautiful.

The custom of "hanami" is over one thousand years old.
It seems that over these thousand years the feeling that cherry blossoms are beautiful has not changed.
