Kano Haruko is a charismatic girl with amazing if not eccentric fashion sense so amazing is her fashion sense that she has been featured in magazines. But despite her loud image and success as a model her dream is to become a high school teacher. With the promise that she would be introduced to a real Japanese high school teaching position she takes a job to be a Japanese teacher to foreigners in a Japanese language school. There she is in charge of nine very different students with very different reasons for learning Japanese. The students range from an American businessman to a Swedish girl with a goal of meeting a ninja. With many different people from around the world this drama has many lessons to teach. Kano Haruko's path to becoming a teacher starts like this.
The name of this drama itself was what caught my attention before I watched it, the 'Japanese the Japanese don't know' is what the name translates to and the thought that Japanese didn't know Japanese just baffled me. But after watching the drama I understood how this could happen, there are everyday words that the common everyday speaker use that aren't correct but eventually because everyone speaks that way you forget that its not the correct way to speak. The drama illustrates that the modern world sometimes forgets where things begin. The drama besides teaching both foreigners and natives new Japanese words goes into depth in teaching things about Japanese culture that are not well known, with great illustrations and explanations. The drama was good and you can learn a lot from it, but at the same time you're learning you are also being fully entertained by the weird and quirky characters that make up the drama. I really do recommend it especially if you are learning to speak Japanese because it will let you learn something's that might be difficult to learn from books. It is really a great drama so go watch it!
Matane!
またね！
