A word game in Japan しりとり
Apr 05th 2009 15:36
I did 'しりとり’with my two American Internet friends today. When I do language exchange, I sometimes play games. しりとりis a word game in Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori
I think this game is very helpful for you all Japanese learners, because you can learn a lot of Japanese words through the game.
It is also helpful for us English learners at the same time, because when we don't understand the meaning of the words, we can ask them and they teach us the meaning of them.
I learned a lot of English words today. Most of times when we do しりとり, we use noun, but in this case, their Japanese vocabulary isn't enrich, so our rule was irregularity. We used noun, verb, adjective, and so on expect humans name.
They noticed immediately that when they use a verb or adjective, the game became more complicated. It means it is hard for us to find the word which starts from る or いin Japanese , because the end of Japanese verbs are る and Japanese adjectives are い.
I had to find a lot of the words which start る or い.
During the game, we sometimes made another digression, and talked about another things. It was also hard for me to understand their natural speed conversation. However, it was a good practice for me.
Tomorrow my friend is going to teach me American word game.

Most of times when we do しりとり, we use noun, but in this case, their Japanese vocabulary isn't very high, so our rule was irregularity.
We used noun, verb, adjective, and so on except humans names.
In other words, it is hard for us to find the word which starts from る or いin Japanese, because the end of Japanese verbs are る and Japanese adjectives are い.
I had to find a lot of the words which start with る or い.
During the game, we sometimes made another digressed, and talked about another things.
It was also hard for me to understand their natural speed of conversation.
However, it was a good practice for me.
Tomorrow my friend is going to teach me a American word game.
Just recently I've been playing a simple word game with my friends. What we do is just pick a letter normally "a" and go around in a circle as fast as we can using any word that starts with "a" while trying not to repeat a word. After a few minutes it gets really hard.

I did played 'しりとり’with my two American Internet friends today.
I think this game is very helpful for you all Japanese learners, because you can learn a lot of Japanese words through the game it.
It is also helpful for us English learners at the same time, because when we don't understand the meaning of a word, we can ask them and they'll teach us, the meaning of them.
so I learned a lot of English new words today. [one sentence.]
Most of times when we play しりとり, we use nouns, but in this case, because their Japanese vocabulary isn't so advanced, so our rule was irregularity.[Sorry, I'm not sure what irregularity means here.]
I had to find a lot of the words which start る or い.[You could maybe drop this sentence.]
During the game, we sometimes made another digressed, and talked about another things.
It was also hard for me to understand their natural speed of conversation.[This is correct, but a more natural way for me to say it would be 'It's hard to understand because they speak so quickly.]
However, it was a good practice for me.
Tomorrow my friend is going to teach me an American word game.
