Schools and back packs

At school unlike Japan where you leave your stuff in your locker and move around class with a few note books and stuff every body carries a back pack around with their binders with your notes, pencils, keys, and stuff. we do have lockers but our reason for carrying around a bag was because not only personal belogings but the text books we use are too heavy to carry around. They are practically a size of a phone book with a hard cover. We could leave it at home but most times the teachers wanted us to use it in class plus we needed to bring them back home too... which was a big pain in the butt. Other than that a lot of grown ups worried that if we would get back problems as we got older. But eventually as we turned 16 most of us high schoolers got a car so that problem was solved. (except while in school)

simple txting

texting or txting is the u.s. version of mailing to someone to their phone except you don't need an e-mail address.
And since it's a pain in the butt writing out the words you abbreviate most of it.
Example:

you-u
lol-lots of laughs/laugh out loud
thnx-thanks
why-y
see you later-c u l8ter
and-nd

But since every body are abbreviating words, it gets a bit confusing when you write essays. Other than it's fast and saves up time :D
Other than txting by phone you can use the above abbreviation when chatting with someone!

Books I recommend to read

Probably if you think of a really good english book you might think of Harry Potter or The Davinci Code. I dun't know about Harry Potter but the Da vinci code is really uver hard for people who just sarted english. So I really reccomend books by Roald Dahl. He is my favorite author all times next to Arakawa Hiromu my favorite manga artist lol. He wrote books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, Witches, BFG (Big Friendly Giant), and James and the Giant Peach. Especially "Matilda", it was the top selling children's book before Harry Potter came out. Why I strongly reccomend Dahl is, all of his stories are fabulous, it draws you right into the story so you can't put the book down, and it is not too easy and not too hard so it's perfect for tweens and upper elementry students in English speaking coutnries.

the otaku bunka in the U.S.

You think that Japan is only the major country that filled with nerds aka otakus... you are wrong!! America also have a high rate of cosplayers, unlike the comic conventions over here, in the U.S. otakus are having fun getting to know Japanese pop culture like AKB48, meeting dub voice actors and Japanese voice actors, cosplaying as their favorite chacter from any TV show, buying merchandise like actual swords from the anime, Japanese candy like pocky, stuff animals, and much more. I was actually really surprised at the convention that I went with my friend, the people cosplaying would make their costume with stuff you never imagine like halloween.

pronunciation of stuff in the u.s.

ikea-イケア
godiva-ゴディヴァ
costco-コストコ

Hey, just listed some names of some shops that are also in the U.S. but are pronounced differently.
It's usually pronounced...

ikea-アイキア
godiva-ゴダイヴァ
costco-コスコ

So that was a wierd thing for me pronouncing the shops. Other than that the slang-ヨーチェケラッチョ I dunno if every one who knows a bit English recognized this but it's actually "Yo check it out you all". which was a bit a surprise to me lol.

Other pronunciation I can think of right now are air conditioning. In Japan it's "air con" but in the U.S. we abbreviate it to "A.C."
"coke a cola" in Japan it's "cola" but in the U.S. it's "coke"
"gum tape" in Japanese in the U.S. it's "duck tape"

well so on... xb

college dorms

Dorms are usually with the school so you don't have to take the train for two hours. Plus it's a great way to make friends other than class. But it depends how the college opporates. Like some college would have a co-ed dorm with either floors all girls or boys. The college I went to was co-ed through out the building except for the rooms. And usually at dorms you need to share a room with someone for about 2 years, other that with out too much privacy and if your room mate actually cleans the sink, bathroom, room, and takes out the trash it's fine. But the size of the rooms are usally very small with only two beds and desks in one room and the bathroom is out side your room. (I was lucky mine was inside my room lol). But since you are living with someone they can be your best friend through out your life.
