Listening is really important to hear the pronunciation of words, because spelling is often very confusing in English.

Teacher Stan's musings

10.000 hours rule

“I really love the great outdoors, so going for long walks is something I enjoy doing on a regular basis. The one walk that really stands out was actually a spur of the moment idea that turned into a much longer walk than I expected.  It was sometime last March, and the weather was absolutely perfect for some outdoor adventure. 




There's a beautiful national park only a stone's throw from where I live, that is very secluded and a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is full of tracks and trails that go through the jungle, as well as a small  mountain, which is famous for its wild monkeys and other wildlife.




As it was a spur of the  moment decision I decided to go alone, and set off about 6am, as the route I took was really off the beaten track, and was not going to be a walk in the park. Looking at the distance on google maps, I guessed it would take me about 3 hours to complete, but I hit a few snags along the way. The first track I took was completely overgrown, and slowed me down to a snail's crawl, and it took me almost 2 hours longer than I expected to reach the mountain.By the time I reached the mountain I was already dead tired and I remember I had to spend some time sitting under the shade of the trees to catch my breath, and decided the best thing to do was call it a day, and make my way back. It was also now getting very hot, and i was already covered in sweat, which was going to make the walk back even harder.




Although the walk was totally exhausting, and left me dead on my feet, I did in fact enjoy most of it, especially the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of being at one with nature. However , I think next time I should maybe  plan my route a little better, and be better prepared.




Thank you …”

Describe a long walk you had

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
前回に続き、慣用句かんようくについて話します。

今日は顔を使った慣用句を紹介します。
3つ紹介しますね。

ではいきます。

① 顔を汚す（かおをよごす）
これは、相手に迷惑をかけた時などに使います。
例えば、
今回のミスで、上司の顔を汚してしまった。
彼にせっかく紹介してもらったのに面接に受からなかったので、彼の顔を汚してしまった。
とか、使います。

② 顔を貸す（かおをかす）
これは、頼まれて人に会ったりすることですね。
テレビドラマで、ちょっと顔貸せよ、とか言う時ありますね。今あるのかな？最近全然テレビ見ないのでわかりませんが。以前はよく使ってたと思います。日常生活ではあまり使いません。

③ 顔を売る（かおをうる）
これは、いろんな人に名前を知ってもらおうとする、というような意味です。
彼女は顔を売るのが上手だ、とか
顔を売るのは苦手だ、とか使います。

私もオンラインレッスンの先生として、いろんな人に知ってもらいたくてPodcastをはじめました。これも顔を売る為の1つの方法ですね。

日本語の会話練習をしたいみなさん、ぜひ私と話しましょう！プロフィールのところから私のページへ飛べます。ぜひ、お待ちしております！

ということで、いかがですか？
また他の慣用句も紹介していこうと思います。

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！
