Hi, this is Yuyujin.

Japanese woman curling team qualified for the semifinals.
The qualified teams are Korea, Sweden, England and Japan.
This is the first time for Japanese woman team.

Recently the curling team’s recess time after the 5th end attracts TV audience’s attention.
They eat a lot and talk a lot for the last half 5 ends.
We can hear them on TV.
The Japanese woman team talks in Hokkaido Ben, Hokkaido dialect.
They have some intonation and unique words.

Learning language is a fun.
