日本といえばアニメ！アニメといえば…what do you imagine？Word Association Game in Japanese!

Word Association Game

We had a word association games in class in Japanese which uses ‘AといえばB’ today.

You can place any word you imagine into B which is associated from A. What will you imagine if I said 日本？ You imagine Anime? If said Anime, will you imagine ONE PIECE?

日本といえば、アニメ！

アニメといえば、ワンピース！

ワンピースといえば、夏！

夏といえば、海！

海といえば、湘南！

As above, using 〜ば forms make a such word association game.

Another way to use ばform in practical

In practical way to use, we use such phrases in speaking when you change topics like:

Mr.A「コロナでどこもいけませんね。早く旅行に行きたいですね」

Mr.A We can’t go anywhere in COVID-19. I want to go travel soon…

Mr.B「コロナといえば、ワクチンは　打ちましたか」

Mr.B Speaking of COVID-19, did you get a vaccine shot?

Mr.C「旅行といえば、Airbnbは使ったことが　ありますか」

Mr.C Speaking of travel, have you ever used Airbnb?

Mr.D「Airbnbといえば、○○という安い旅行サイトをみつけましたよ」

Mr.D Speaking of Airbnb, I found a cheap website for the travel.

Does this sound useful?
