Hello class!

[et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]My name is Kaori Idemaru. In Chinese characters it is 出丸香.  I am Associate Professor at UO. I teach linguistics-related courses and conduct research in phonetics, speech production and perception.

My current research projects include one on how we use voice to sound polite or casual, and another on what types of student errors in speaking Japanese lead to native Japanese listeners to think there is “foreign accent” on their speech.

In my free time, I spend a lot of time with my friend, Rosie. I throw great birthday parties for her and her friends 😉

  1. Hello everyone, my name is Blanca Ding and my Chinese name is Yiru Ding. I come from China and I am a sophomore majoring in education. I am very interested in Japanese and I am struggling to explore it.

    After entering the sophomore year, I clearly felt that the pace of college life began to change. Maybe because I lived in the dormitory in my freshman year, I could only feel the convenience and relaxed daily life. But sophomore life may have obvious differences, I am looking forward to.

    I have two cats. They are my family. I need to give my mother a reason before I choose to adopt them. My reason was simple: I needed a few living creatures in my house. Last holiday I brought them back to my country to take them out to play, and to my surprise, I was worried that they would vomit and defecate on a long flight. But they didn’t. Instead, I got airsick at first.
