Sweden Pays Grandparents to Care for Grandkids

En este episodio de "Modales en el Mar y en la Mesa", nos sumergimos en una historia fascinante donde una ballena jorobada nos enseña lecciones inesperadas sobre etiqueta y buenos modales. A través del sorprendente encuentro de Adrián Simancas, un joven kayakista que fue brevemente tragado y luego escupido por una ballena en las costas de Chile, exploramos cómo ciertas acciones, tanto en la naturaleza como en la mesa, reflejan cortesía y respeto.

Dirigido a angloparlantes que aprenden español, este episodio te ayudará a descubrir verbos que pueden ser groseros o poco corteses si se usan incorrectamente. Aprenderás sobre palabras como eructar, tragar, sorber y más, comprendiendo su uso apropiado y evitando situaciones embarazosas.

Acompáñanos en este viaje lingüístico y cultural donde, con la ayuda de una ballena muy educada, navegaremos por las aguas de los buenos modales y el lenguaje preciso. ¡Porque incluso en el vasto océano, hay lecciones valiosas que aprender!

Modales entre Ballenas y Buenos Modales: Descubriendo Verbos Delicados en Español

こんにちは！Atsushiです！
今日の北海道の天気は曇り。
気温は23℃。

さて、今日は日本語の発音について。
というより、私が英語の発音の勉強をしていて、実感したことをお話します。

今、PodcastやYouTubeで英語の発音について、見たり聞いたりしています。

そこではじめて知ったことですが、
英語は喉の奥を使って息を吐きながら止めずに話すと良いそうです。
例えば、Helloだと、
日本語ぽく言うと、Hello
英語ぽく言うと、Hello

となるみたいです。
なんとなく違い伝わりますか？

では、日本語はどうか、というと、日本語は口の中の真ん中や先の方で発話しているんですね。

それから、息を切る、
ハキハキ話すイメージでしょうか。

こんにちは！とハキハキ話すと日本語らしく聞こえますね。
英語と同じ発話だと息を吐き出しながら話すので、日本語らしく聞こえにくいかもしれません。

私も英語の発音について、練習しはじめたばかりですし、とても難しく感じます。みなさんにとっても日本語のようにはっきりと話す発話は難しいかもしれませんが、練習をたくさんしましょう！

ということで、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！
