Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#48 Short story / 星のプレゼント《Gift of the Star》/ storytelling // N4 Level / Japanese listening

In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.

Brentoni's English Podcast

005 Sports Memories

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
民をやります！　

音読み　みん
訓読み　たみ、送り仮名はありません

意味は、人々、生活する人、とかです。

例えば、

・住民ーじゅうみん(Residents) その土地に住んでいる人

・国民ーこくみん(People of a nation)その国の国籍を持つ人　国籍ーNationality

・市民ーしみん (City residents) その市に住む人

・民間ーみんかん　(private) 一般の、公的ではない

・移民ーいみん (immigration) 他の国にうつって住む人

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・この地域の住民はとてもおだやかです。

・日本の国民はルールを重要にします。

・ここは市民が利用できる図書館です。

・公務員ではなく、民間企業に就職したいと考えています。

・移民の問題はますますむずかしくなっています。


こんな感じです。

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！
