Un sacré cuisinier
Tire-Bouchon, le petit cochon rose est terriblement gourmand mais vraiment pas doué pour la cuisine. Heureusement, ce sont ses parents qui s’en occupent.
Aujourd'hui, cependant, il a décidé de confectionner un gâteau. Il suit la recette avec application et enfourne le gâteau dans la cuisinière.
C’est une réussite totale et Tire-Bouchon est très fier.
Hélas, la cuisine est dans un état lamentable : du chocolat sur les murs, de la pâte sur le buffet, deux bols et un saladier cassés. Tire-Bouchon est tellement sale que sa mère a du mal à le reconnaître.
Fera-t-il encore souvent la cuisine ?

Histoire 13 - Un sacré cuisinier

JENNIFER: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the 
weather report? I thought this cold front was 
supposed to pass.
GABRIELA: Yeah, I thought so too. That’s what I read online
this morning.
JENNIFER: I guess the wind chill is really driving down
the temperature.
GABRIELA: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to 
go numb.




LANGUAGE NOTES
• A “cold front” means a large mass of cold air. It can be plural: There were multiple cold 
fronts this January. 
• Here “supposed to” refers to something that is intended or expected to happen: I 
thought it was supposed to rain today. This phrase can be used for many situations: I 
thought the train was supposed to arrive at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
• Yeah / Yup / Uh huh are informal conversational cues used by native speakers in 
conversation. Each of these responses could be used here for “yes.” Gabriela affirms 
what Jennifer is saying. The most polite way to affirm a response is to say “yes.”
• Listen for the emphasis on “That’s what I read online this morning.” This useful 
phrase can be used with other verbs to convey information: That’s what I heard on the 
radio. / That’s what I saw on TV. / That’s what I read online.
• Chill / freezing / cold: These words describe cold weather. I feel the wind chill. / I feel 
the chill. / I am freezing. / I am cold.
• Wind chill is the effect of the wind making the temperature feel colder on a person’s 
skin. This is an uncountable noun. The temperature is 4 degrees, but with the wind chill 
it feels like -8. These phrases are used in weather reports as well.
• The phrase “driving down” means “forcing to be lower” and can be used in many 
situations. An oversupply of new houses is driving down sales prices in the area.

🎙 The Shame Loop — When Confidence Collapses in English

You don’t sound small in English because you lack words —
you sound small because you carry shame.

This episode of The Woman Behind the Words isn’t about fixing English.
It’s about understanding what happens inside when your confident self disappears the moment you speak.

You’ll hear a story, a truth, and a reframe that might help you reconnect with the voice you thought you’d lost.

💭 Because confidence isn’t a skill — it’s self-trust under pressure.

What if your next breakthrough in English isn’t about learning more — but about trusting yourself more?

“The Pro Behind the Words” - You don’t need new words. You need the REAL YOU who speaks them.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN2やりましょう！
〜にて、をやります。
これは、〜で、と同じなんですけど、
場所 手段・方法 時間 原因・理由

これらを話したい時に使います。
早速例文、いきましょう！

・本日のイベントは大通公園にて行われます。

・場所がわからない場合は、電話にてご連絡ください。

・それでは、会場にてみなさまをお待ちしております。

・その案件は、昨日の会議にて話し合われました。

・あのドキュメンタリーは宮内庁にて撮影されたそうです。


はい、こんな感じです。
いつもの例文と少し違います。
カジュアルな感じではないですね。

そうです。この、にて、はビジネスとかフォーマルな時に使います。少しかたい表現です。

ですので、ぼくは普段使いませんが、ニュースや日常生活で聞くことはあると思うので、今回、にて、にしました。

いろんな使い方がありますが、〜で、とだいたい同じだと思うと簡単かもしれません。

いつも通り、声に出したり、例文を作ったりしてください。覚えやすくなりますよ。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
