Script

おはようございます。
日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今日は"実家(じっか)"について、話します。

私はすこし前に、
北海道(ほっかいどう)から大阪へひっこしをしました。

いまは、大阪の実家にいます。

実家というのは、自分(じぶん)の生まれた家(いえ)
や、
自分の両親(りょうしん)の家のことです。

お父さん、お母さんが住んでいる家、ですね。

よく日本人は、

「こんど、実家に帰ります。」

「私の実家は福岡(ふくおか)にあります。」

などと言います。

私の実家は、古い(ふるい)家です。

34年前の家です。

家の中は、リフォームしてきれいですが、
"たたみ"や、"ふすま"はそのままです。

日本の昔の家です。

あの、アニメのドラえもんの、

のびたくんの家みたいなかんじです。

古いけれど、私は気に入っています。

みなさんの、実家はどこにありますか？

みなさんの実家はどんな家ですか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日。

In this episode we are going to learn how to 【Introduce a friend】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
