my japanese speech contest (now with subtitles!)

*if you cant see the subtitles, click the Closed Caption button on the lower-right hand side of the video screen. =] this speech was about japanese onomatopoeia and phenomimes. phenomimes, which dont exist in english, is the sound for something...which makes no sound. for example, japanese can describe the emptiness of a train car, or the sound of someone eating, by the use of phenomimes. this was my first time translating, so the translation may be a bit off. also, since phenomimes dont exist in english, somethings literally can't be translated. so thats why every so often you'll see an "*"...thats when a phenomime was used. by the way, i won first prize. ^_^ スピーチは擬音語と擬態語についてです。 優勝しました！
