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

昨日の話ですが、北海道に来て、はじめて、雪ですべってこけました！しかも3回も！笑

冬になってから、雪が降っている時は、いつもこけないように気をつけていました。

昨日もいつも通り、気をつけていましたが、こけました。
おとといの夜に、つもって凍った雪の上に新しい雪がふりました。それで、いつもとちがう状況になったので、いつもよりすべりやすくなったんだと思います。

昨日久しぶりにこけて痛かったので、気をつけようと思います。

冬の北海道に旅行に来るみなさん、ぜひスノーブーツは用意してきてくださいね！結構すべりますよ！


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！

Japanese "Taka" it easy

ヤバい⤴️　ヤバい⤵️

NATASHA: What time is it? We’re going to be late!
TONY: It’s a quarter after seven. We’re on time. Don’t panic.
NATASHA: But I thought we had to be at the restaurant by 7:30 for 
the surprise party. We’ll never make it there with all this 
evening traffic.
TONY: Sure we will. Rush hour is almost over. Anyway, the party 
starts at 8:00. But I do need help with directions. Can you 
call the restaurant and ask them where we park our car?




LANGUAGE NOTES
• It’s a quarter after seven. This phrase is one of the most common ways of stating 
this time. It means: “It’s 15 minutes past 7:00.” Another possibility here is to simply 
say: “It’s seven fifteen.” In general you can say: “It’s a quarter past the hour.” How do 
we know the time of day? Look for context clues: “evening traffic.”
• In the dialog, Natasha and Tony are going to a surprise party. They need to be on time. 
Therefore there is an element of stress and urgency. When someone is stressed for 
time you can use expressions like: Don’t worry. / Don’t stress. / We’re fine. / We will 
be on time.
• Natasha thinks the surprise party begins at 7:30. There are two different ways to 
express this time. You may say simply “seven thirty” or “half past seven.”
• Rush hour is the time of day—usually in the morning and evening—when traffic is 
heavy because of people commuting to and from their workplace by bus, by car, by 
subway, on foot, etc.
