This is kind of embarrassing because it’s something that I really should know but somehow I skipped over learning.

For today’s blog post I’m going to quickly review some vocabulary and phrases related to “your major.” Granted I’m not a college student, but lots of my friends still are so it could come in handy.

Vocabulary

Subjects

These are subjects you can use in school to describe your classes or your
専攻(major).

日本語 English
科学
かがく
science
経済
けいざい
economics
政治
せいじ
politics;
government
文学
ぶんがく
literature
歴史
れきし
history

And the word for professor is 教授

Putting it all together

So with this we can put together some simple sentences for practice:

日本語 English
専攻は何?
せんこうは なに?
What is your major?
専攻は歴史です。
せんこうは れきし です
My major is history.
政治は詰まらないよ!
せいじは つまらないよ!
Government is boring!

More to come later! I’ll try to keep them short and sweet :)
