I had to explain my research topic in Japanese last Friday, June 26. Teachers provided interview questions beforehand, but they still asked questions not listed on the form. My advisor (Yazawa Riko) asked me:
1. What exactly are you researching within the history of women's education? Research questions.
2. What sources are you looking for?
I answered something with broken Japanese because I did not prepare for those two questions. We are supposed to get the same interview in 5 more weeks. We will see if I improve by then...
Teachers gave me two major pieces of advice:
1. Talk faster (I was talking at the rate of a banana slug).
2. Have pauses at appropriate places, i.e. particles.
