Meetings can be intimidating for a lot of people, even to native speakers! 
Especially if you’re meeting with people who you don’t know very well, if at all. Today we’re going to look at a few pieces of vocabulary that you might hear in meetings and that you might be able to use yourself. At the end we also have our 'big discussion question'.

You can find the vocabulary from this podcast in the vocabulary sets on my profile. I hope you enjoy today's podcast and I look forward to meeting you on a call very soon!

Authentic Connection in the Classroom

みなさんは「できる」の意味を知っていますか？「できる」には英語のcanという意味があります。しかし、「ジブリパークができる」の「できる」は新しく建てられる、またはオープンするという意味です。ちなみにジブリパークは今年の11月1日にできるそうなので、興味がある人はインターネットで調べてみてください。

この「できる」を使って「近くに新しいコンビニができるらしいよ」とか、「高速道路ができてとても便利になった」と言うこともできます。

では、「友達ができた」というのはどういう意味でしょうか。これは新しく友達になった人がいるという意味です。「彼氏ができた」「彼女ができた」と言うフレーズはよく使います。
また、「ニキビができる」「ほくろができる」というのはあまりうれしくないことですね。これはニキビやほくろが新しく出てきたという意味です。

「できる」という表現は会話の中でとてもよく使います。ここで説明した以外の意味もありますが、それは次回説明したいと思います。



最近家の近くにできたものはありますか？家の近くにできてほしいものはありますか？よかったら、私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

高速道路：こうそくどうろ　highway
彼氏：かれし　boyfriend
彼女：かのじょ　girlfriend
ニキビ：pimple

This can be a very difficult thing to do in any language, and can also lead to problems with cohesion which will of course lower your band score. This is an example of where you need to learn to talk around topics, and remember that part 2 is still about you.
