“when” as in “at the time when” is “とき ;toki” in Japanese and unlike English, it follows the clause.
ex)食べるとき、右ききです。[taberu toki migikiki desu ] When I eat, I’m right-handed.
投げるとき、左ききです。[ nageru toki hidari kiki desu ] When I throw, I’m left-handed.
The usage of “toki” is covered in beginner series season 5 lesson 12. Please also check that lesson. :wink:

But when I throw, I am left handed. I write left handed too now that I think about it. も、私は右きき書きます。 直美先生、

I have read the passages in the pdf's, but where are they on the audio-tracks :grin: ? Oh… why doesn’t the Video-Vocab appear in the learning center?

This should be taken with a " grain of salt". The reporter is relying on a memory that now exceeds 77 years.

Over the years the expression has mutated to mean almost any left-handed activity and / or left-handed person. This explanation of Southpaw was given to me over 60 years ago as a youngster, an extremely avid baseball fan.
