Portuguese expressions

Master the long /iː/ and short /ɪ/ sounds through focused repetition and listening exercises. This practice session reinforces Lesson 7's key concept: both 'e' and 'i' can represent these two distinct vowel sounds in British English.
You'll practice word lists, minimal pairs (sit/seat, ship/sheep), and challenging tongue twisters designed to sharpen your ear and improve your articulation. Perfect for learners who want to train their pronunciation through hands-on practice rather than theory.
Repeat, listen, and build muscle memory—no matter your starting level, consistent practice will help these sounds become natural.

British Vowel Sound Masterclass: Lesson 7 – The Long & Short E/I. Same Sounds, Different Letters - Practice 

はい、こんにちは。洋平先生です。えーっと、今日はちょっと、大切な話をしたいと思います。
特に日本にこれから住む人や、今住んでいる人に、とても大切なことを話しますね。
みんなの日本語の49課と50課で、尊敬語と謙譲語を習いますよね。ちょっと私、個人的に 早すぎるなと思うんですね。まだ初心者ですみんなの日本語語の初級50課まで終わっても初心者なんですよ。

で、尊敬語、謙譲語というと、 日本人でも間違えるんですね。むちゃくちゃな尊敬語、むちゃくちゃな謙譲語を使っている日本人がたくさんいます。で、そのむずかしい言葉を初心者に教えるというのは、うーん、どうなんだろうと思ってるんですが、ま、みなさん まあ大人が多いですよね。みんなの日本語を使って勉強してる人は大人が多いですね。会社に入ると、やっぱり尊敬語と謙譲を話す機会（きかい）が多いと思うんで、まあ、しょうがないですよね、うん、しょうがないです(笑)。

ですが、ちょっと大切なことを多分、たくさんの日本語教師が教えてないんですね。で、それは、日本語は正しい日本語をパーフェクトに話すよりも、 話し方の方が大切な時が多いんですよ。
うん。例えば、みんなの日本語1、中級、中級ですよ。intermidiateの10課の会話ですね。ちょっと読みますね。

・みんなの日本語１中級10課
A：田中さん、きのう、月曜日　””なのに、捨ててありましたよ。””
B：え？どういうことでしょうか。
A：ゴミの中にレポートがたくさん捨ててあってね。あれ、田中さんのじゃないんですか。
B：え、私の？私が月曜日にゴミを出す　””はずがありません””　よ。先週から旅行に行って、さっき帰ってきたばかりなんですよ。
A：え？そうですか。レポートが見えたから、てっきり田中さんのだと思って。
B：レポートを書く人　””なんて””、たくさんいますよ。
A：ああ、ごめんなさい。


でえ～っと、ポッドキャストのところにも会話を書いたんですけど、あのマークがつけてありますよね。
・月曜日なのに捨ててありましたよ。
・ごみを出すはずがありませんよ。
・書く人なんてたくさんいます。

えーま、こういう文ですね。これらの文は、言い方によってとてもきつい強い言い方にもなるんですよ。 
えーっとですね、えー日本人にとって、ちょっと高い声で優しい声を出すことが 大切なんですよ。えー、例えば高い声分かります？高いははーです、低い声があーです。 

でいいですか。例えば、あータナカさん昨日月曜日なのに捨ててありましたよ。
ちょっと優しいですね、気持ち悪いですか(笑)？　はい、私が月曜日にゴミを出すはずがありませんよ。 
レポート書く人なんてたくさんいますからどうですか。ちょっと 変ですか。気持ち悪いですか。えーでもこれが結構大切なことなんですよ。うん
で低い声で、早いスピードで話すとちょっと日本人にとって怖い「怒っているのかな、この人？」という印象（いんしょう）が強くなるんですよ。
はい、ちょっとこのポイントをを頭に置きながら、あ、皆さんにちょっと勉強してほしいなと思うんですね。はいいかがでしたか。 
はいじゃ今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。日本語の勉強みんながんばってください。バイバイ👋

Les cailloux blancs
Il faut faire quelque chose pour mon papa taupe qui creuse tout le temps. Il se perd dans ses galeries! Il ne trouve jamais son chemin. Ce n'est pas rigolo. Alors, comme je suis une petite taupe très intelligente, j'ai eu une bonne idée: j’ai semé des cailloux blancs derrière mon papa qui creusait. Comme ça, nous retrouvons tout de suite le chemin de notre salle à manger souterraine! Pour les taupes, hip! hip! hip! hourra!

Histoire 32 - Les cailloux blancs

Episode 111 concludes the series by exploring the profound spiritual dimension of language learning. This final episode moves beyond material gains to examine how the journey of learning a language cultivates mindfulness, builds resilience in the face of life's impermanence, and serves as a transformative practice of personal growth. Discover how embracing failure in a new language can heal the fear of failure in life, and how the ultimate goal isn't fluency in a foreign tongue, but a deeper fluency in the language of your own soul.

What is the true, lasting gift of learning a language? It's not what you think. 🕊️

In the FINAL EPISODE (111) of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we go beyond hacks and fluency to uncover the secret truth: language learning is a profound spiritual practice.

In "The Unspoken Home," we explore:
✨ How making mistakes heals your soul
🌱 Why the journey matters more than the destination
🌀 How to find a solid foundation in life's chaos through learning
💖 The ultimate reason to keep going, long after the material rewards fade

This isn't just an ending. It's an invitation to a new beginning.
