18 comments

1. dont understand the last one

2. /r/surrealmemes

3. I don’t know most of the kanji other than 学校 and 何 and 前

4. がっこう に ちこく です

   “I’m late for school”

   なんねん まえ そつぎょう した

   “I graduated years ago”

   きょうし であります

   “I’m a teacher”

5. へーき means calm, right?

6. 休校中だ

7. 教師です is better. であります makes sense but it sounds army-ish and Shinzo Abe-ish

8. As a Japanese teacher this hits waaaaaaay too close to home.

9. Do you know a subreddit with only Japanese memes like this one?

10. I can tell there are no natives here on reddit. I’m late to school やべー遅刻だ！but I graduated years ago でも俺もう卒業してるし　and now I’m a teacher けど今は
    先生だからなおさらやべー

11. Nice meme. But this could be too formal for a meme be cause after all you are talking to yourself and there’s no need to be so formal

12. mate i cant read kanji yet sadface

13. であるのですか

14. I actually half understood this! Progress is the best stuff to see.

15. Could anyone explain the joke part of it?

16. Mild correction: パニック

    The *sokuon* (ッ or っ) resembles a small ツ or つ *tsu* character. It is not voiced – it indicates more emphasis on the following consonant.

    * パニック *panikku* PANIC
    * ソニック *sonikku* SONIC
    * ポッキー *pokkī*, Pocky snack food
    * 待って *matte* “wait” (-te form)
    * こっち *kotchi* “here”

17. when you are late for your daily japanese lesson:

    パニク

18. when you are lower on the leaderboard

    パ 二 ク
