Buona fine e buon inizio a tutti!!! Ci avviciniamo all'ultimo giorno dell'anno, Capodanno (Il capo dell'anno? Colui che comanda l'anno o il punto più alto dell'anno???....Boh!!!). Ad ogni modo, un buon momento per voltarci a guardare alle spalle e osservare cosa abbiamo fatto durante quest'anno che volge ormai al termine; e una buona opportunità per prefissarci degli obiettivi per il prossimo anno che sta per iniziare. Buon ascolto a tutti, ma soprattutto buona fine e buon inizio!

みんなの日本語　19課（か）「～たことがあります」

In this episode, we focus on one of the most powerful spelling patterns in English: the Magic E. Adding a silent e at the end of a word can completely change the vowel sound—from short to long.

Through a series of minimal pairs like cap–cape, fin–fine, hop–hope, and cub–cube, you’ll practice hearing and producing the difference between short and long vowels. The goal is not just accuracy, but awareness—training your ear and mouth to clearly feel the contrast.

Listen and repeat, exaggerate the vowel length, and strengthen one of the core pronunciation patterns that appears everywhere in English.



Transcript:

a + consonant + e:

cap - cape, tap - tape, mat - mate, hat - hate, can – cane, pan – pane, man – mane, mad – made, fad – fade, dam – dame, Sam – same, rat – rate, fat – fate, wag – wage, plan – plane, tap – tape

i + consonant +e:

fin – fine, pin – pine, win – wine, kit – kite, bit – bite, rid – ride, hid – hide, dim – dime, Tim – time, pip – pipe, rip – ripe, sit – site

Hop - hope, cop - cope, mop - mope, pop - pope, not - note, rob - robe, cod – code, nod – node, lob – lobe, con – cone, ton – tone, Jon – jone
