【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は7月8日月曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、日本の元号（げんごう）についてお話しします。

みなさん、日本の元号を知っていますか？元号は、日本の年の名前です。今年は令和6年です。これは西暦（せいれき）でいうと2024年です。今日は、いくつかの元号を紹介して、その意味と使い方について説明します。

天皇が新しくなると、元号も変わります。天皇は、日本の王様のような存在です。では、最近の元号を見てみましょう。

	1.	大正（たいしょう）
	•	大正は1912年から1926年までの期間です。この時代は、社会が少しずつ変わりました。
	2.	昭和（しょうわ）
	•	昭和は1926年から1989年までの期間です。この時代は、日本が戦争を経験し、その後にとても成長しました。
	3.	平成（へいせい）
	•	平成は1989年から2019年までの期間です。この時代は、経済の変化が大きかったです。
	4.	令和（れいわ）
	•	令和は2019年から現在までの期間です。令和という元号は、「美しい平和」という意味があります。現在、令和6年です。

元号の使い方を学んだので、次に元号が日常生活でどのように使われているか見てみましょう。例えば、カレンダーや学校の書類などに元号が使われます。

また、元号は歴史の学習にも役立ちます。元号を知ることで、日本の歴史を理解しやすくなります。例えば、「昭和の時代に何が起こったのか？」と聞かれたら、昭和は1926年から1989年までの期間なので、その間の出来事を思い出すことができます。

では、ここで元号を使った例文をいくつか紹介します。
	•	「大正時代には、たくさんの文化が発展しました。」
	•	「昭和の初めは、戦争がありました。」
	•	「平成の時代には、大きな地震がありました。」
	•	「令和の時代は、まだ始まったばかりです。」

ここで、みなさんに問題です。令和は何年から始まりましたか？
	1.	1989年
	2.	2019年
	3.	1926年
正解は「2. 2019年」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。元号について、楽しんでいただけましたか？ぜひ、元号を使って日本の歴史をもっと学んでくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

日本の元号（げんごう）を学ぼう！⭐

Imagine being asked this question in an interview, do you have our DNA? 

It's so strange that it'll make most people feel ackward since they've never heard of this question, right? 

Take you for example, what would you say to a question like this? Will you lose face and be out of words or..?

I help my students to find the right words and I talk about it in today's recording. Jump into it.

You can read Harvard's article on the DNA's topic here if you'd like to have a further research into this topic: 

https://hbr.org/2008/02/whats-your-companys-dna

Real DNA contains genetic information about how we look and behave, and it also defines what makes us different from each other

On the other hand,  a brands DNA is not an advertising slogan or a statement coined for the purposes of positioning. Since it is the center of all brand-building efforts, it should convey a strategic message! 

If you'll spot it in your research and will communicate about it in your interview heavily - you'll set yourself apart from the competition!

Come of my 1-1 training and we'll dive deep into preparing you for success in a job interview or any spoken English related endevoir!

Do you have our DNA? Imagine you are asked this question on a job interview?

The most despicable lesson in history  أَحْقَرُ دَرْسٍ فِي التَّارِيخِ

SHANNON: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting 
me to the musical.
ELENA: You are welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed the show. 
The choreography of the dancers was incredible. It 
reminds me of when I used to dance.
SHANNON: I know! You were such a talented ballerina. Do you 
miss dancing?
ELENA: Oh, that’s very kind of you, Shannon. I do miss it 
sometimes. But I will always be a fan of the arts. That’s 
why I love going to musicals because it’s the perfect 
combination of song, dance and theater.
SHANNON: Absolutely! I’m glad you are still an art fan too. Thank 
you for the invitation. It’s always a pleasure to attend 
an arts event with you and learn something new


LANGUAGE NOTES
• You are welcome. Elena replies “You are welcome” in this dialogue. She could also say, 
“Don’t mention it,” which is an example of downgrading. Downgrading a compliment 
varies with culture. When in doubt, just say “You are welcome.”
• When getting a compliment to someone (for example: “You were such a talented
ballerina”), you can either accept the compliment (“That’s very kind of you”) or 
downplay the compliment (“Oh, I wasn’t that good”).
• Giving compliments in English often includes using superlatives (“the most …,” “the 
best …”). This is the best musical playing on Broadway! / What’s the most entertaining 
movie you’ve seen? However, compliments can also be given by using the construction 
“I’m a fan of …”: I’m a fan of the arts. / I’m a big fan of theater. / I’m a huge fan of this 
band. Notice the use of adjectives
