The only thing you need to do is to write the name you want and in case the pronuciation is not clear, please also give me hints on how to pronounce it.
The reason: in Japanese,

A fusion of Japanese and Canadian food for my brunch. Living in Japan as a European means that you can enjoy delicious Japanese meals, but things like cheese, ham, spreads, and pickles are quite difficult to get. So while being here on workation in Montreal, I enjoy the local food 🥰 -

So I am teaching this course that checks if you got down your grammar/vocabulary for A1 beginner Japanese. It's basically a two week course where you get a short test every day, including the solution. In case you are not quite sure yet, there's a video that explains every grammar point of that day

Papyrus dancing the lion dance. Sans Gaster blaster is the lion head. Sans is the little helper carrying the piece of cloth.
Most people think it's a Halloween performance or are scared.
Papyrus is disappointed that people don't recognize a traditional lion dance when they see one.

This just happened in my neighborhood. I believe this is a lion dance, a ritual to get rid of misfortune, and to offer prayers for good health.
I like this kind of traditional Japanese music 😊

Papyrus doesn't understand the need for icebreakers.
WHY DO I NEED TO BREAK ICE? THERE WAS NEVER ICE TO BEGINN WITH. AND EVEN IF THERE WAS, MY CHARMING PERSONALITY WOULD HAVE MELTED IT ALREADY! NYEHEHE!

I KNOW, I AM JUST TOO HOT.

Good morning, everyone! I guess for most of you, the day is about to end, while mine has just begun.
As a conversation starter, talking about the weather is a nice ice breaker. Then, you can start with what you really want to say. The same can still be said about letters and even emails.

Papyrus hears *sword* and is immediately mesmerized by this beautiful fish.
Undyne finds it a tiny bit strange that humans seem to use fish as a weapon.
Sans is like "Heh, you are a sushi to recon with!"
(Actually, he meant sashimi)
Undyne proves to him that fish are indead weapons.

I wonder if Fellverse skeletons with their sharp phalanges would benefit from sock protectors. They'd probably need more than one layer, though.
Also, I heard that Red Underfell likes to bite his nails. Maybe that means he doesn't need them!
Though Edge would get him some anyway, to stop the biting

In Japan, they have these sock protectors, which you put on your big toes, helping to prevent toenails from tearing holes into your precious socks. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. But I think I'll get some soon. My socks and I do suffer from premature hole formation 😆

I do think 魔入りました入間くん shares a liiiitle bit of what I like about Undertale. The monsters. They are (as far as I remember) afraid of humans. The school song talks about how they will devour humans, though. And Iruma is the human who somehow ends up in their world...

I love what they did with lots of words/kanji in this anime 😆
For example 魔茶 matcha (usually it's 抹茶). Instead of 抹 they use 魔, meaning demon.
Even the name of the anime has several kanji puns 😁
Also, the anime is cute and colorful! The music is typical for this genre.

Instead of itadakimasu, Sans would say: いただくぞ、パピルス！ itadakuzo, papirusu! when his brother offers him spaghetti.
That's a more colloquial way, especially for guys.
And when he finishes the dish, he's gonna say: ごちそうさん gochisousan. He uses 'san' instead of the more polite さま sama.

We have an unfortunate death in the family. The funeral 葬式(そうしき) is this weekend. It's my first funeral in Japan, so I had to get suitable clothes. There's a special section for 喪服(もふく) mourning clothes in apparel stores. Also, people wear pearl 真珠(しんじゅ) jewelry to represent their tears.
