Bare Naked Ladies are a Toronto, Canada rock group popular in the late 1990s and the early part of the new century.  In episode 1, I commented that food, blue, and blew all had the same vowel sound.  Indeed, bare (meaning naked or basic) and bear (the animal) are pronounced the same. In this episode, I am going to guide you through (not throw) the E ear and A air sounds.
Here are the lists of the words in this lesson.  Notice that the spelling of the vowel sound is not consistent.
                                                 Sound 1                                             Sound 2

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。

今日は、関西弁のやん、について。

めっちゃ寒いやん！
とか、久しぶりやん！とか関西弁で良く使います。

どういう時に使うか、例文を使いながら、説明しますね。
うそやん
ーえ、うそやん！それは知らんかったわ。
　うそでしょ！みたいな意味ですね

めっちゃ安いやん
ーこれ、めっちゃ安いやん！買います！
　安いですね！みたいな意味です
　
言うてたやん
ー昨日は行くって言うてたやん
　言ってたでしょ、みたいな意味です

ええやん
ーそれ、めっちゃええやん
　とても良いね、みたいな意味です

ちゃうやん
ーちゃうやん、ちゃうやん、そういう意味じゃない
　違うよ、違うよ、みたいな意味です

例文としてはこんな感じですね。
だよ、とか、よね、とか、でしょ、とかそんな時に使います。

　僕は最近日本の漫才とかみませんが、漫才とか見ると、たぶん、良く聞くと思います。特にツッコミの人が言いますね。
それ、ーやん！
それちゃうやん！

もちろん、日常会話でもたっくさん使いますので、YouTubeとかで関西弁の人を見つけたら、聞いてみてください。

もし、関西弁を直接聞きたい！という人がいたら、ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！なんでも教えるでー。
この、でーも関西弁ですね。

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！
