Hello from Inside!

First of all, please be advised that iUniv is now usable in Japanese as well.  If you want to use iUniv in Japanese, just click on the word 日本 on the top-right of the iUniv home page and you will see the instructions in Japanese. 

Taking advantage of this additional feature, Insider will go bilingual from now on.  You will see iuniv (Insider)’s posts in both English and Japanese.  Will try to put as many English Fusens as possible for Japanese-language contents, so that those people who are studying Japanese will get an idea of what the speakers are saying.

So this week Insider featured contents that have something to do with Japan’s neighbor country Korea.  Recently their culture (especially entertainment) has been featured massively in Japan, however, the videos are about something that are not usually featured in the Japanese media, for example:

Souzou Gakuen University
workshop 加齢発達学 19
workshopⅠ加齢発達学(19-4.隣国韓国の少子化)
http://iuniv.tv/top/episode/eid/70075/pid/4301

This video is about the low birth rate in Korea, which marked 1.15 in 2009, whereas Japan was 1.37 in 2008.  The tendency seems to be quite similar to Japan. 

Other contents include the Korean immigrants in New York City, as well as the exhibition held at Otani University in 2009.
