www.ibm.com Schott AG has teams spread from Germany to Japan and they need to be able to speak to each other “face-to-face” via such tools as web conferencing. Mathias Pohl discusses the use of collaboration software in cross-cultural business situations to ensure teams work efficiently and travel costs are kept to a minimum. More and more business units within Schott are asking us for more efficient ways to communicate and collaborate with each other after the initial face-to-face meeting. We took over a larger part of a Japanese company, and we started to work with this Japanese company with a lot of face to face meetings because the German culture is very different to the Japanese culture, but meanwhile, you have a basic set up of the teams and now the teams are asking to work with each other in a much more efficient way than to travel around the world, to travel between from Germany and Japan.

My cover of “Scarecrow” by “the pillows”. The video is a remixed version of the original music video, where the band members have all been replaced by myself. I recorded 2 guitar tracks with an electric guitar and the 2 vocal tracks. I don’t own a drum-set so I used the Guitar Hero: World Tour drums and connected it to the software Drumsite to record the drum track, so don’t laugh when I play them in the video (I’m really playing them!). This is for “the pillows” 20th anniversary cover contest. I don’t really speak Japanese, so forgive me if my pronunciation is off. This is my first song I’ve ever fully recorded… power to the one-man bands!

PLEASE READ THE INFO Footage: 5 Centimeters per Second Song: Trading Yesterday – Shattered Software: Sony Vegas 9 Download Link: www.animemusicvideos.org This video took me a couple of hours to make. Basically, I watched the movie, I felt in like with it, and this was the result of that inspiration. Yeah, I’m a sentimental guy ^_^. Hope you like it. Btw The subtitless are taken from the actual “5 centimeters per Second” DUB trailer. So if you speak Japanese you’ll find that the voices do not match them at all. Tohno Takaki and Shinohara Akari are two classmates in an elementary school. During their time together they have become close friends. Their relationship is tested when Akari transfers to another city because of her parents’ jobs. Both of them struggle to keep their friendship alive as time and distance slowly pulls them apart. When Takaki finds out that he is moving farther away, he decides to visit Akari one last time. SUBSCRIBE/RATE/SHARE/COMMENT!!!!!

Sure, I wasn’t expecting this at all. Also, if Kuroh is Japanese, why does he only speak English, while Ken and Kanbe speak Japanese to each other?

Learn How to Speak Japanese and Go Green

It, truly, is not simple being green or going green for that matter. So, what does going green have to do with learning to speak Japanese online? If you stop to reckon about it, by deciding to go the route of learning online there are many benefits, one of them being that you will help the environment. A “tiskit, a taskit”, what’s in my Earth day basket? Well, there are 3 huge Go Green Benefits (G.G.Bs) that will be mentioned and you can see for yourself why learning to speak Japanese online is a excellent thing for you and the environment. That being said, we all need to be more responsible with regards to the environment.

Go Green Benefit #1 – By opting to learn Japanese online you will be saving money. Because money spent on transportation to and from your classes and associated costs such as parking, fuel, and vehicle maintenance can be reduced or eliminated. This will save you not only money but also your valuable time and energy can be place into other more vital activities. That’s one less car on the road. One less car equals less air pollution, which equals one step closer to cleaner air.

Go Green Benefit #2 – What is a classroom or lesson without paper? I’ll tell you. It’s a Green classroom. When you learn to speak Japanese online, computer software, download-able lessons, CDs, etc negates the need for and reduces the amount of paper that is used. With learning online, you can encounter a “paper-less” classroom and one in which learning is portable (mp3, CD player, iPod) or only a mouse click away. Your learning is self-directed, allowing you to choose content and tools appropriate to your differing interests, needs, and skill levels. You will also save money on expensive Japanese language texts, workbooks and notebooks. Overall student costs such as tuition, residence, food, and childcare are frequently less. It’s also one less tree cut for paper production. One more tree equals one more habitat for the wildlife it supports and more oxygen for the Earth.

Go Green Benefit #3 – You can re-cycle your lessons online especially if you need to review or refresh your various Japanese language skills. You do not need to re-register for an expensive language school class or re-book a private tutor. The online language course is there for your use at your convenience. From dictionaries to language forums, learning online is quickly becoming the learning of the future. This is not to imply that teachers are not needed. They are but in a more facilitator role instead of a role of instructor. Students can learn a Japanese lesson at anytime, from anywhere. This means that parents can attend to their children, then sit down to a Japanese lesson; working students can complete a lesson no matter what their work schedule might be, folks that travel for business or pleasure can attend class from anywhere in the world that has internet access. That’s less need for textbooks, pencils, pens, whiteboards, markers, erasers, binders, etc. and all the items that are related to teaching. Also, the demand for the raw materials to make them is reduced. That equals to less environmental pollutants.

Truth be told, nothing in life is really free especially having access to an brilliant language program. If you want quality, you are going to have to pay for it but it doesn’t mean that you cannot find products that give you the most for your dollar. Reckon about the convenience of learning Japanese online and having the ability to have access to student-centered learning tools and materials. Compared to most language schools that have to include the costs of running a business into your tuition, you are in better hands. We all need to be more responsible with regards to the environment and if you learn to speak Japanese online, you will really save money, time and the environment.
