I'm afraid it is Genki ja nai team. I had hoped that I would never have to teach you the negative response but there it is. I have a bad case of forum AIDS. I should never have touched those monkeys* in that way.

 

 

 

*in no way dune related

 

To keep you going, I have given Hanna sensei a couple of days off and she has decided to spend it at the beach. Here is her video just for you...

Ohayo class!

 

Genki deska? Sorry for my recent absence, the truth is, I got a bad case of aids. It was pretty bad, I think I got it from using a toilet seat after Matt Le Tiss. As Bearsy's educational video pointed out, this can be a dangerous experience. He may be a goal scoring legend but don't let him use your spoon or sit on your toilet. Also Saint Clarke banned me for trying to sound like bearsy and punished Hanna sensei for having big boobs. Now I don't know about you but I don't think girls should be punished for having big boobs. If anything they should be rewarded.

 

As I am on the run from the dum mods and recovering from aids, I have to make my classes as useful as possible for those thinking of travelling to Japan. That's why today's words are so practical.

 

Koneko = Kitten

Koinu = Puppy

 

I don't know why but whenever miss hanna is teaching, I always have puppies and pussy on my mind. How about you?

 

Enjoy!

Yeah this is normal bear. Pet shops are pretty different in Japan than here. They are just like massive pet vending machines. Buying a pet is a bit like visiting hannibal lecter only without the bit were you get spunk thrown at your face. I am not into it to be honest but I suppose it is better than Korea as the vending machines are actually real and you eat what you get.

Konichiwa class,

 

Happy Halloween!

 

As an unlicensed Hanna video was posted,we no longer have a Halloween special. Take a long hard look at yourself Dr. Kucho (if that is even your real name!). You have spoiled it for the whole class, I would expect better from a man of medicine.

 

Today, we will have to move on to the summer. I expect some of you will think of warm moisture when thinking of hanna sensei and so today's Japanese word of the day is Mushi Atsui, which means hot and humid.

 

Tanoshi de!

I think you're misrepresenting me there bear.

 

I was simply asking you to consider the SaintsWeb female constituent.

 

On the 50 Shades thread you're obviously well practised at taking the metaphorical muscular and bevested dude in your mouth - and letting his voice become your voice, I simply wanted you to take suewhistle in your mouth and let her voice become your voice.

 

As it happened suewhistle stated that she didn't want to be taken in your mouth and also made it quite clear that she didn't need any positive discrimination from this liberal (small ell).

 

This is all very simple and straightforward bear. I'm not sure how you managed to get the wrong end yet again.

I can still remember the Japanese word for exercise.

 

This remote learning using video teachers really works.

 

Toke, thanks for the pointer with the Japanese poetry. But I've since started to investigate Japanese literature. Well, folk tales to be precise.

 

Is it all about bestiality and forced labour and saving face?

 

Have you heard the story of the Crane Wife? It'd be illegal here I'm sure. I can précis it for you.

 

Man finds crane shot by an arrow, 'cares' for it for 3 days and then releases it, next day the crane has 'turned into a beautiful woman' (of course it did), so the man 'marries' the crane - I mean woman, whereby she locks herself into a room for 7 days at a time and weaves beautiful cloth from her pubes, sorry I mean from its feathers, which the man sells at the market, man told never to go into the weaving room during the 7 days does go into the weaving room where man discovers bird is a bird and not a bird so shame-filled bird flies away never to return.

 

Moral? Never **** a bird, **** a bird?

 

Face, is important in Japanese culture isn't it Toke?

 

The Story of a Crane Wife

(Tsuru no On-gaeShi)

 

Once upon a time, there lived an honest young man in the countryside

of Japan. One day, while he was tilling a paddy field, a crane suddenly

came flapping down from the sky. It was a white crane with truly beautiful

feathers. The bird was apparently wounded, and did not fly away, but came

reeling towards the man and weakly fell to the ground. Wondering, the man

checked the crane’s feathers and found an arrow stuck in the base of the

wings. “Poor crane! That’s why you can’t fly!” So saying, the young man

pulled the arrow out and washed the wound clean. The crane soon

recovered and showed its delight by flapping its wings. “Now,” the man

said to the bird, “be careful never to be spotted by a hunter again”.

Thereupon, the crane circled over his head three times as if to express it’s

thanks and then disappeared high into the sky after uttering a shrill cry. The

young man resumed his work, deeply contented that he had done a good

thing. At nightfall when the stars began to appear, he returned to his home.

To his great surprise, however, he found a beautiful young woman, whom

he never seen before standing at the entrance. She greeted him,

saying, “Thank you for your day’s hard work”. Startled, he wondered if he

was entering the wrong house, but the woman said with a smile, “This is

your home and I’m your bride,” “I don’t believe it,” the man shouted. “I’m

so poor no woman will ever agree to marry me. Besides, I have only

enough rice to feed a single person!” “Don’t worry,” the woman replied. “I

have brought rice.” So saying, she took rice out of a small bag and began to

fix supper. The man finally consented saying, “How strange that you should

force me to marry you! Well, do what you like!” and thus the woman came

to live with the poor young man. Oddly enough, the small bag the woman

had brought always provided the amount of rice they wanted, enabling the

couple to lead a happy life. Time went by and one day, the woman asked

her husband to set up a workshop for weaving. He borrowed money and

had a special room built. Thereupon, the woman entered the room,

saying, “Please never look in here for seven days”. And for exactly seven

days after that, only the sound of a loom was heard from within day in and

day out. The man felt as if he were waiting for as long as one or two years,

but remembering her request, he did not peep into the workshop. The seven

days passed and the woman came out somewhat haggard. Held in her hands

was a roll of resplendently beautiful cloth such a he had never hoped to see.

“Now,” she said to him, “I have woven a roll of cloth. Please take this to

the town market. It will sell for 100 “ryo” (a big sum in terms of ancient

 

 

Japanese coinage).” The next day, the man went to town and the cloth

brought a surprisingly high price just as his wife had said. Startled and

delighted, he hurried home. Upon reaching home, he found his wife already

closeted in the workshop, and only the sound of the loom was heard. He

wondered how she could weave such beautiful cloth apparently without

treads. Soon he could no longer contain his ardent desire to see her, and

stealthily peeped into the workshop, breaking his promise never to do so.

To his great surprise, he could not find is comely wife there. Only a crane

was weaving cloth with white feathers plucked from is body. Promptly

realizing that the man was looking in, the crane stopped weaving, staggered

towards him and said: “Well, my dear husband, you have seen everything.

Now that you have found out what I really am, I can no longer stay here, to

my great regret. I am the crane who was saved by you. To repay your

kindness, I have so far served you in the shape of a woman. But from now

on, please regard this half finished cloth as myself and keep it dearly.” The

crane then flew up with her remaining wings and vanished into the sky,

never to return to the man.

WTF....

 

Can someone summarise this lot into one sentence. There are too many distractions in this thread. The phrase "I only look at the pictures" is very apt indeed.

Is this because I rebuffed your kind offer to dump DNA on my dirt-pipe in the 50 Shades thread? I suggest that you go and lookup unrequited, CB Saint. Move on.

 

Anyway, think of my post as an ever so slightly verbose "BUMP", CB Saint. If I didn't post this sort of rubbish, Toke would let this excellent thread die.

 

And on the theme of posting rubbish... Can I summarise The Crane Wife in one sentence? Well, I thought I had.

 

Obviously not so I will hang my head low CB Saint.

 

How about I explain it

? (albeit in three parts).

I like the way he pretends that he really doesn't want to do all 3 songs, "what all of then? You guys..." not sure about after that as I switched off before he started.

 

Bletch, am I understanding this correctly? What you are saying is, If I don't post some more lessons with Hanna, you are going to tell more stories?

That's right Toke.

 

I've got a couple of folk tales lined up and I can't decide which would be best.

 

I've been reading about The Redoubtable Hannya and the Grass-Cutting Sword which is excellent (thanks for the PM!). But I could also share The Benevolent Bear and his Japanese-Speaking, Penis Swallower.

 

Hmm. Tough choice.

 

Alternatively, you could just teach us some more Japanese.

 

It's up to you.

Minasan! Konichiwa

 

Genki desuka class?

 

Arigato for the 5 star ratings, Hanna sensei is delighted with the good reviews.

 

To save us from more literature lessons from the Jwow supply teacher, here is another lesson.

 

Today's word is abunai, which means Dangerous. In Japanese you can use this word to explain something is dangerous (Phil please note miss Hanna says that doing things in high heels can be dangerous) and it can also be used as a warning, kind of "look out" or "be careful". Miss Hanna misses that but I think she has other stuff on her mind like dirt bike racing and where she can get her next sports bra.

 

Some of the more advanced students may be noticing a pattern here. Nai is added to words in Japan to show something negative. For example, when my Aids were playing up I said genki ja nai instead of genki.

 

Enjoy the lesson, bonus lesson coming along shortly.
