Café con acento - Entrevista con Marie (Francia)

はい。こんにちはようへい先生です。えー、今日は”すごい”の お話(はなし）をします。
1ヶ月ぐらい前にアメリカ人の生徒（せいと）と会話（かいわ）をしました。ちょっと聞いてください。 
せいと：ようへい先生、ちょっとハサミを取ってください。
ようへい：はい、どうぞ。
せいと：すごい。
ようへい：？？？

はい、この”すごい”は ちょっとへんです。It`s a little bit weird for Japanese.
“すごい” 16課でならう ”すごい”は、「日本語が上手ですね。すごいですね」 え～、これはとても良い、splendid という意味(いみ）ですね。と、あと12課で「うわあ、すごい人ですね」とならいました。これは多い”、”たくさん”、という意味（いみ）ですね。
はい。あと、カジュアル、casual expression, colloquial speechで、すごいはとても という意味（いみ）にもなります。で、えー、このアメリカ人の生徒(せいと）の方は、あー、”great=すごい” と思ったんだと思います。
で、日本人の英語を勉強してる人も、このグレイトをえ、とてもとても良い、splendidと思っている人が多いんですね。でも、ちょっとちがいますね。great。うん、 すごい。
この場合（ばあい）、In this case、
せいと：ちょっとはさみを取ってください、ようへい先生。
ようへい：はい、どうぞ。
せいと：”ありがとう”！

これがいいですね。うん、This is better. はい。これをまちがっている生徒（せいと）が、時々います。ちょっと気をつけてください。 
はい、今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。じゃあ、日本語の勉強がんばってください。バイバイ👋

🌟 If you work with Spanish-speaking patients, nailing the right phrases is key to better care and connection. In this podcast, I break down a critical nuance most learners miss: why “Por favor + imperativo” (e.g., “Por favor, siéntese”) beats “Favor de + infinitivo” (e.g., “Favor de sentarse”)** in clinical settings. Spoiler: One sounds natural and builds trust—the other? Not so much.

Perfect for: Doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers with intermediate/advanced Spanish who want to:
✅ Avoid awkward phrasing that technically works but feels robotic.
✅ Communicate instructions clearly and compassionately.
✅ Boost credibility and rapport with Hispanic patients.

What’s Inside:
🔹 Real-life examples (with patient interactions!).
🔹 Simple swaps to make your Spanish sound fluent, not “textbook.”
🔹 Pro tips to avoid common mistakes even advanced speakers make.

Why This Matters: Small language tweaks = huge impact on patient trust. Don’t let clunky phrasing hold you back—sound like the skilled, caring pro you are!
