How to Host Japanese Foreign Exchange Students


Assume the student speaks imperfect English and adjust your expectations accordingly. While all Japanese exchange students will speak some English, it is highly unlikely they will speak English at anywhere near a native ability, and they will probably have trouble understanding native speakers in a social setting.
Speak clearly and avoid idioms. Japanese speakers are keyed to certain distinct sounds, and similar-sounding words, unclear words, or words spoken in a dialect can be difficult for them to discern. Of course, don't speak slowly in a loud voice as this would be condescending and rude. The student will want to learn idioms, but take it slow.
Write things down. Your exchange student may not be able to understand everything you say, but he will more than likely be able to read what you write.
Show, don't tell, when familiarizing the student with the house. To avoid unfortunate or embarrassing misunderstandings, show the student while you explain things. Japanese students have studied a lot of English for travel, school and business. Unfortunately, they study very little about common household tasks such as 'hang the laundry,' 'turn down the TV,' or even 'lock the door.'

How To Find an Embedded URL Address To Upload a Video


Go to the original video hosting website where the video you want to share is posted. Chances are, if you decide to share the video you are already at the page where the video has been posted. If not, find the video you want to share via the website search toolbar. Many websites host a myriad of videos that you can share and post onto your own websites or to your social network profiles.
Look for a “Share” button. The exact location will vary per website layout; however, it is generally located below or to the left or right side of the video. Choose the outlet for which you want to share the video on--for example, Facebook, MySpace, Blogspot or another website. The direct URL for the video will appear.
Copy and the paste the URL onto your selected website or social network profile page.
