Sendai Dialect Differences?

I recently got my exchange placement and Iโ€™m going to Sendai! I know that Sendai has a dialect but I was wondering what specifically I should study and also just general differences. Also if anyone knows what Sendai daily life is like Iโ€™d really appreciate it :slight_smile:

Sendai pretty much uses standard Japanese.

Kanna san summed it up pretty well, in my experience, most of the Japanese here would be standard Japanese aside from a lot of older dialect. Iโ€™m currently on the JET program and have lived in Sendai for about 2 years. Assuming we are on the same timeline, thatโ€™s what you are diong as well? If so, please feel free to ask any other questions about living here! The community in Sendai is overall very friendly, foreigners and Japanese people get along well here.

P.S. ใ‚ธใƒฃใ‚น is a regional slang term for a school gym uniform. Now, it is outdated, but if you use it with an older coworker youโ€™ll get brownie points.

Whatโ€™s the general vibe of the place like? And are there any things that I should look out for?
