Have you ever watched a basketball game in Japan? 🏀🇯🇵
In this episode, I talk about my daughter’s recent basketball tournament and share some useful Japanese words you might hear at a game!
You’ll learn how Japanese people shorten basketball to basuke, along with basketball vocabulary like sentaa (center), gaado (guard), ofensu (offense), and difensu (defense).
I’ll also teach you some common Japanese cheers, including:
🏀 Ganbare! — Do your best!
🏀 Hashire! — Run!
🏀 Mae mite! — Look ahead!
🏀 Naisu shuuto! — Nice shot!
Plus, we’ll learn useful sports words like toonamento (tournament), jun-kesshou (semifinal), kesshou (final), and yuushou (winning the championship).
And guess what? My daughter’s elementary school team won the B-team tournament! 🎉
You can use many of these words when talking about other sports, too.
Listen and learn some real-life Japanese through my everyday experiences!
Want to practice Japanese conversation with me? I also teach private Japanese lessons on italki:
