Chapter 5: 街(まち)の関西弁(かんさいべん) (Talk in Town)

This chapter contains a collection of video clips of interactions between local people at various locations, especially at the local stores in Kansai. All the video clips have comprehension questions and answers so you can answer the questions and check your understanding. The video clips in this chapter enable you to observe the communication styles, strategies, and cultural practices in Kansai. It also introduces vocabulary and expressions related to daily life - those you cannot usually learn at school - such as the name of fish and vegetables.
(* Please excuse the poor video quality due to unskilled filming. We plan to add better quality of clips in the future.)
