Idiom: Hold your horses

Meaning:
Wait a moment. Slow down. Don’t rush. Be patient.

It’s used when someone is too excited, impatient, or moving too quickly.

It is an informal expression.
Why “horses”? 
In the past, people rode horses.
If the horses moved too fast, you had to hold them to stop them.
So “hold your horses” means control yourself and slow down.

“Hold your horses! I’m not ready yet.”
“Hold your horses before you spend all your money.”
“Hold your horses — let’s think about this first.”


“Hold your horses! I’m still talking.”
“Hold your horses before you quit your job.”

Have you ever been too excited and someone told you to calm down?

English Mini Lessons

Hold your horses

Velar consonants are sounds you make with the back of your tongue touching the soft palate, also called the velum. It's the fleshy bit at the back of the roof of your mouth, near your uvula (the little dangly thing).

Production:
Raise the back of your tongue up to touch the velum. Airflow is blocked completely for a moment.

Examples in English:
/k/: This is the voiceless velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "kit" or "cat."
/g/: This is the voiced velar plosive, the sound at the beginning of "game" or the "g" in "going."
/ŋ/: This is the velar nasal, the sound at the end of "sing" or "long." Notice how air can flow out your nose while making this sound.

Other interesting facts:
The sound /k/ is actually one of the most common consonant sound across all human languages! Velar consonants can be influenced by nearby vowels. They might move slightly forward in the mouth (called "fronting") before front vowels like /

i:/ or /ɪ/ or move back (called "retraction") before back vowels like /u/ or /ʊ/.

Some practice tongue twisters:
Kate keeps giving up in the morning
My gran’s going to see the king in the Congo
Can a king conquer a sinking kangaroo
Kick the giggling goblins guarding the gold
Kevin clung to the clinging kangaroo

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日もみなさん、お元気ですか？

今日は個人でするツアーガイドを準備しています！についてはなします。

北海道には、有名な場所でなくても、たくさんの自然や魅力的な場所があります。この魅力を、沢山の人に体験してもらいたい、と考えています。


それで、今、僕はAirbnb experienceでlocalな walking guideを準備しています。僕はほぼ毎日、朝に散歩しています。近くの大きな公園、神社、川を歩きます。この僕の散歩コースはとても気持ちが良いコースです。

これのコースを、日本のローカルな場所でできる体験として、海外からの旅行客の方に提供したいなと考えています。


このコースはとても日本らしく、また北海道の自然を楽しめるコースです。日常の生活の近くにこのような場所があるのは、とてもおもしろいところだと思います。

ローカルな体験をしたい方にはとてもいいコースだなと思っているので、今このコースのガイドをするために準備しているところです。


Airbnb experienceは、日本ではまだ数は少なく、東京、京都、大阪などは多いですが、北海道はさらに少ないです。

大勢のツアーではなく、1組や2組だけの小さいガイドで日本を楽しんでほしいと思います。


ということで、今回は個人のツアーガイドについて話しました。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！
