Japanese Kids Learn counting in the Bath
I may have mentioned before but many Japanese children learn to count during the bath time, at least I did. It´s common the parents tell a child to dip himself until his chin and count up to ten. Mind you, the Japanese bath is usually hot, sometimes 41-42 °C. It´s almost a torture for children to stay in the hot water so long. In my case, my lovely father obliged me to count not until ten but 100.
Am I traumatized from this experience? Well, nop. I still love taking a bath, a hot bath. I wish I could have it every night.
Do you know how to count 1 to 10 in Japanese? Here, you can learn it with おふろのかぞえうた (Ofuro no kazoeuta / Counting in the bath), also you can learn how to take a bath in Japan (childish way…).

Hahaha amazing song.
There’s a big movement into language study lately. You get people learning Japanese by watching jdramas. Thus there’s interest in ways to immerse passively. These are good times to be studying languages.
