Since England is an island, it has a rich maritime history and lots of idiomatic expressions that come from sailing and ships. In this podcast, I cover the following:

* “Dead in the water” 
* “Three sheets to the wind” 
* “To go by the board”

Nautical Idioms in English, Part 2:  What do they Mean and Where did they Come from?

Wat-san appears in "Minna no Nihongo," but can everyone pronounce the name correctly?

It's Wat, not "Waat." This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don't pronounce "Wat-san" correctly, most people will understand. However, many similar words will come up later, such as "kite," "kitte," "kaite," and "katte."

If you don't properly skip the small "っ," even Japanese people can get confused often.

Please try pronouncing it once: "Wat-san." You shouldn’t hold your breath tightly in your stomach. You also shouldn’t hold the air in your mouth. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying "Waat-san" again. Use a little of your throat and stomach. It’s "Wat-san."

OK, that’s it for today.

Oh, regarding my course, the "Minna no Nihongo Course" and "Minna no Nihongo Group Lesson" are currently half price for the first time. If you're interested, please give it a try. Good luck with your studies! Bye!

Jaksaa, jaksaa vai jaksaako? Tässä viidennessä jaksossa pureudun henkilökohtaisempaan aiheeseen miettiessäni jaksamista uuden kielen opiskelutaipaleella. Kieltä opiskeltaessa on hyvä pitää taukoja ja antaa aivojen levätä. Miten itse jaksoin opiskella venäjää ja miten kieliopintoni Venäjällä meni? Kerron myös omista toimittajakokemuksistani ulkosuomalaisessa sanomalehdessä ja miltä tuntui työskennellä venäjänkielisessä ympäristössä.

Suomea for you
