こんばんは！
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。


今日もN4です！
〜必要がある、をします。

ーしないといけない、ということを言いたい時に使います。英語だと、necessary to とかneed to ですかね。

早速例文、いきましょう！


・オランダに移住するには、フリーランスビザを取る必要があります。

・車を運転するには、運転免許を取る必要があります。

・学校で日本語を教えるには、日本語教師の資格を取る必要があります。

・三鷹の森美術館に行くには、予約を取る必要があります。

・海外で生活するには、英語を勉強する必要があります。


こんな感じですね！
伝わりましたか？


自分の気持ちのーしないといけない、というよりも、資格とか、予約とか、システム上などでそうしないとできない、という時に使うことが多いです。

日本に引っ越しをする人はもしかしたら、移住のための書類を用意する必要がある、というような文をたくさん使うかもしれないですね。


時々紹介していますが、ぼくはKindleで日本語の本を作っています。

動詞や名詞、数字などについて例文をたくさんのせた本です。動詞で1冊、名詞で1冊、など今全部で6冊？かな、作っています。

本を見ながら勉強するのが好きな人はぜひ一度見てみてください！例文をのせているので、使い方がわかりやすいと思います。

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！
