Okay, sorry, I had to turn on the big white light
But with the lo-fi lightning that I had before you wouldn't be able to see shi-
But yeah, once again, welcome to my first ever Q&A
And let's just jump into the questions!
Q: When you're done with all the traveling that you talked about, what country do you want to visit next?
well first of all Netherlands because I have friends there and I really want to meet them...
and then either Portugal or Brazil because I really love the language so...
Q: What did you do to go to Japan?
The answer to this question is way too complicated,
so I'm just gonna say that the whole process of me getting from Czech Republic to Japan, to a Japanese school, took one year
One whole year... one.. one whole yea-
Q: Do you have a life motto or what keeps you going when you feel like giving up?
Honestly I don't think that I have a life motto..
but what keeps me going when I'm making videos for example are your comments!
So, please write a comment below I will be reading all of them! every. single. one. of. them.
Q: What music do you like?
I like hip hop, lo-fi, sometimes rock as you can see from the music that I use in my videos
it's mainly lo-fi because I'm really into that right now.
Q: What's the most embarrassing thing that you've done in Japan?
Usually it's like things that are considered rude here in Japan. So people have to tell me not to do that
so for example cocaine, I cannot do cocaine because it's apparently rude in Japan...
Okay, I cannot put this joke in the video because my mom would kill me!
lol
Q: What do you think about having a host family?
It's pretty chill, I really like it, my host family is super kind and awesome...
Would it be better to live here by myself?
Of course, who wouldn't want to live by themselves in Japan, but having a host family feels really safe
and I'm very glad for that. So yeah, it's really good.
Q: Why are you on Japanese exchange only for three months?
Umm yeah, a lot of people asked me, why did I choose Japan for three months and China for ten months?
and the thing is that I didn't have the option to choose
you see these programs and the process and finding a host family is already so difficult that I was just happy to take whatever they offered me
Q: I know this is hard, but what is the thing that you don't like in Japan?
Actually the question is not that hard, there's one thing that I really dislike about Japan
and that is the weather and it's not even about it being hot in summer. It's the humidity okay?
It's so humid that I sweat so much even now I'm sweating profusely
I hope you cannot smell me. But yeah, I'm sweating a lot
Right here. I have a fan. I don't know how I would be able to live without it so... yeah it's the weather.
Q: Do you have to study subjects like math, biology, etc in Japan?
No, I only study Japanese. My grades don't matter here. And I also don't take any tests, so yeah. That's that!
Q: What camera do you use?
I use this one, this one right here-
I use a Canon 200D with a standard kit lens 18-55 millimeters.
Q: Do you miss your family?
Yes, I miss them a lot, but fortunately I'm gonna see them in August for like a week.
And then I'm probably gonna meet up with my brother in China because he's in China right now
So that's pretty dope. But yeah, I kind of miss them. It's I mean, that's pretty obvious...
I think I'm gonna cry on camera. I.. I guess I really miss my family and I didn't even realize that
Q: Do you like hot dogs?
Q: How do you learn Japanese?
Well I mostly talk to Japanese friends and other people and I also write down new vocabulary that I learn every day
uhh and I also wanted to start watching some anime, but I'm not really that much into anime
at least not as much as I used to be in the past and I'm kind of lazy to watch a new anime show, so.. yeah
Q: Would you like to learn some other Asian languages?
Yeah, there are actually a lot of Asian languages... and I have actually made a list of languages that attract me
So it would be like: Arabic, Cantonese, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Pashto, Urdu, Turkish...
Uhh.. so yeah, but of course my main goal is to learn Japanese and Chinese which are like the languages that attract me the most
but for example Pashto or Urdu or Hebrew
I would love to learn Hebrew like....
But you know, there's only so much you can learn so yeah, I'm not sure if I'll be able to learn any of them
But I certainly want to...
Q: Are you half Japanese or any Asian?
No I'm not japanese, not even a bit. My mom is white from the Czech Republic, she's Czech
And my dad is Hispanic from Peru, South America so...
No, I'm not Japanese, but I have like really really far I had uhhhh
Chinese ancestors, but I don't know if that really counts. So I'm a proud Czech Peruvian
Yea.
Q: Do you have any siblings?
Yes I do, I have a younger sister and an older brother and they are both my favorite people in the entire world
So yeah, by the way, you can follow my sister on her Instagram @alessacuy, no pressure okay?
You don't have to if you don't want to but...
She's paying me to say this!
Q: Are you an extrovert or an introvert?
Um, it really depends on the day, on the mood, on the people that I'm with, so I would say something in-between
Sometimes I just like to stay in my room the whole day, sometimes I like to party hard, you know
So, uh, yeah mostly I I stay in my room because I have no friends...
Q: How can I learn Japanese in an easy way?
There's... there's no easy way bro
Like you have to study and study hard for many many months and you have to be patient
So yeah, I mean Japanese is one of the hardest languages in the world
So just be patient and if you really want to learn it, you'll eventually learn it, you know
so um "Ganbatte ne!" (good luck in jap.)
Ganbatte ne!
And that would be the last question for today's video
I tried to pick as many of them as possible and also the interesting ones
So if you have any more questions, please leave a comment below and I'll try to answer them
And yeah, thank you for watching this video
I hope you enjoyed it
You know leave a like because it was really hard for me to sit here in this room
To record all these questions and read them out loud, you know really hard
