안녕하세요~ 잘 지내고 있었어요? 오랜만이에요!
한국은 지금 장마철이라 매일 조금씩은 비가 오는 것 같아요.
그래서 날씨가 엄청 덥고 습해서 에어컨 없이는 힘들어요.
여러분은 더위를 이겨내는 방법이 있나요?

In this podcast, there are two versions of the same dialogue.
The second recording is a slower version; if you missed some words or phrases in the first recording try listening to the second one once again :)

뜨거운 여름에도 화이팅!

秋（あき）のスイーツビュッフェに行（い）ってきた

巷（ちまた）で流行（はや）りの生（なま）絞（しぼ）りモンブランも体験（たいけん）し、「いもくりなんきん」以外（いがい）には葡萄（ぶどう）を使（つか）ったスイーツもあって、葡萄が大好（だいす）きな私（わたし）としては大（だい）満足（まんぞく）のラインナップだった。
食（た）べ放題（ほうだい）だからたくさん食べようと思ったが、やはり「いもくりなんきん」。少し食べただけでお腹（なか）が膨（ふく）らみ、思（おも）っていた以上（いじょう）に食べられなかった・・・。もっと食べたかった気持ち（きも）がある一方（いっぽう）、苦（くる）しくて食べられない状況（じょうきょう）に悔（くや）しさがあったが、秋（あき）の味覚（みかく）を堪能（たんのう）できたことは素直（すなお）に嬉（うれ）しい。でももう当分（とうぶん）、「いもくりなんきん」は要（い）らない！

秋のスイーツビュッフェに行ってきた２【全２話】

Like many other grandmothers, Daisy likes to knit, and she isn't very good with technology.

Or, at least, that's what she might tell people on the phone.

Daisy also describes herself as "your worst nightmare." But don't worry, she's not talking to you — she's talking to phone scammers.

That's because Daisy is actually an AI chatbot. She was created by UK phone company Virgin Media O2 to speak to scammers on the phone and make them believe they're talking to a real person.

Older people are very vulnerable to scams. In July, a UK study found that about 67% of people over the age of 75 were victims of at least one scam attempt in the six months before the study — with almost 75% being phone scams.

Enter Daisy, who has been trained to have conversations with phone scammers and waste their time.

Virgin Media O2 worked with Jim Browning, a YouTuber who has spent years "scambaiting" — that is, pretending to be a clueless victim to waste scammers' time.

And that's the whole point — Daisy can't stop scammers, but she can slow them down.

"Whenever she's on the phone with a scammer, your parents, your grandparents, your relatives, are not being scammed," Browning told Sky News.

The company says Daisy is already "wasting hundreds and hundreds of hours of scammers' time," and has shared real-life conversations the chatbot has had with scammers.

Some conversations last nearly an hour. She talks about her cat, Fluffy, and people in her family. In some conversations, she gives the scammers what they want — bank details. But of course, they're not real.

Murray Mackenzie from Virgin Media O2 said Daisy is also a reminder that the person you're speaking to on the phone might not always be who they say they are.

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。

今日はN2です！
今日は、からといって、をやります！

たとえーだとしても、というような意味で、あとには、ーとは限らない、とかーわけではない、など否定の表現が続きます。


ということで、例文いきましょう！


・海外に住んだからといって、英語が話せるとは限らない。

・日本人だからといって、日本語が教えられるとは限らない。

・運転になれているからといって、事故らないとは限らない。

・好きな会社に入ったからといって、うまくいくとは限らない。

・ N1だからといって、ペラペラに話せるとは限らない。

という感じです。
どうでしょうか。


大人だからといって、なんでもできるわけではないですね。
5年日本語を勉強しているからといって、簡単にはなせるわけではありません。

毎日勉強するのは大変ですが、少しずつだけでもPodcastを聞いたり、言葉に出したりして日本語を覚えていきましょう！

ぼくのオンラインレッスンでは、いろんな形でレッスンができます。日常会話だけでもいいですし、ニュースを読んだり、ネットの記事を読んだりすることもできます。

もし、日本語をもっと話せるようになりたい！と思ってる人は、ぜひぼくとお話しましょう！

お待ちしていますね！


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！
