How to communicate with Japanese foreign teachers and what topics to talk about

I am a Japanese major myself, and I have also chatted with foreign teachers, so I will share some of my experiences with you.

1. When chatting with others, it is best to talk about things that the other person is interested in, such as Japan’s representative symbols: Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms, kimonos, etc.;

2. Also You can talk about Japanese stars according to the age of the foreign teacher, etc., as well as current Japanese TV series (I don’t know which TV series you have watched, if you haven’t, you can ask her to recommend them as topics), movies, and animations (such as Hayao Miyazaki’s movies) , Naruto, One Piece, Crayon Shin-chan).

3. Of course, you can also talk about the foreign teachers themselves, such as when and why they came to China, their hometown, specialties, brothers and sisters, Japanese festivals, what they like to do, what they eat, what they play, etc. If the opportunity is right, we can eat together (Japanese people generally prefer to eat fish, which has a light taste), go shopping, etc.

4. Japanese people generally like to travel, so you can take her out to play if appropriate. That's all I can think of for now, hope it helps. If you have any questions, you can ask again at any time.

Here I would like to remind this friend: before chatting with a foreign teacher, you must do your homework.

I wish you and your foreign teacher will become good friends soon!
