My Epic AoT Exam Chat

L: Teacher
I: myself

L: What would you like to do later on in your life?
I: *creepy smile + laugh*
L: *weird look*
I: *AoT salute* I want to join the Survey Corps to kill Titans.
L: What?
I: For Humanity?
L: *awkward and scared smile* ok?
I: It’s an anime reference.
L: So…you want to spend the rest of your life reading these Japanese comics?
I: *twitch* You watch anime and read manga. But yeah, it would be fun if I could waste my life doing that.
L: But it would be difficult to make money out of it?
I: Meh, they need translators.
L: So you want to learn Japanese?
I: Japanese? It’s a difficult language to learn, don’t you think?
L: Yes, but you should learn it if you want to make money with anime.
I: Or I could translate it from English to Dutch because it’s hard to find some series in Dutch.
L: Why would you want to translate them into Dutch?
I: Because when I watch anime these days, they are Dutch dubbed, which I really hate. A few years ago they still had English dubbed anime with Dutch subs.
L: Wait…what’s the difference between subbed and dubbed?
I: Subbed is Japanese with English subtitles. Dubbed is what they do these days with Disney Channel.
L: I see. So you prefer dubbed over subbed, or am I wrong?
I: No. I don’t like subbed. And I don’t like it at all when I watch tv and they give us English dubbed anime with Dutch subtitles.
L: Why?
I: Because sometimes the translations are so wrong. It makes me think: where the heck did they even find these people?
L: So you don’t like it because it makes your show less fun to watch.
I: Indeed. I prefer watching English subbed because the Japanese language is a fun language to hear.
L: They don’t show Japanese shows on tv, do they?
I: I don’t know, probably not.
L: So where do you find these shows?
I: The internet. I watch them online.
L: I see. Any other reasons you like the English subtitles besides the fact Japanese is a funny language?
I: It’s a good way to improve my vocabulary and sometimes you learn a word in Japanese.
L: Can you give examples of that?
I: Well, I know some words, but I forgot most of them now, probably because of the nerves.
L: You don’t seem nervous.
I: I won’t do crazy anime stuff if I weren’t nervous.
L: *smirk* So, what words did you learn?
I: Erm…konnichiwa, arigato, baka and akuma are the ones I can think of right now.
L: Baka? What does it mean? It sounds funny.
I: It means ‘idiot’.
L: Oh…you baka! I like it.
I: *grin*
L: Good. I think it’s time to end it here. I’d say, good luck reading your Japanese comics.
I: Thanks. Enjoy your holidays.
