La storia di Benheart 🗝️

La mayoría de mi familia vive en la provincia de Barcelona pero ubicada a unos 20 kms. al oeste de la zona de Montserrat dónde me crié.  Algunas veces, de pequeño, cuando iba en el asiento trasero del coche de mis padres, camino de casa de mis tíos y mis primos, por la ventana veía un edificio muy alto y con unas formas diferentes al resto como no había visto nunca antes. Ese edificio era y es un castillo ¡Sí!

Episode 13. 日本人の家に行くとき

Today we're looking at some more formal ways to say "I kind of agree". We look at:

I agree in part
I partially agree
I agree to some extent
I agree with some qualifications

I think you'll agree with this... partially

The number of couples getting married in South Korea increased by almost 15% between 2023 and 2024.

That's the biggest percentage increase in marriages since the government began collecting this data in 1970.

More than 222,000 couples got married in South Korea in 2024. That's good news for a country with one of the world's lowest birth rates.

The government has been trying to encourage people to get married and have children to help boost the country's shrinking population.

It may just have worked. However, not all young people are convinced that marriage is the right thing for them.

According to The South China Morning Post, many young people in the country are still choosing an "unmarried lifestyle" for personal and financial reasons.

Some said that getting married and doing things like buying a home and having children are too expensive.

Others felt they would be more likely to find happiness on their own.

The government data also showed that the number of marriages between South Koreans and foreign nationals has increased for the third year in a row.

There were almost 21,000 of these marriages last year. That's an increase of more than 1,000 from 2023, although still not quite as high as it was before the coronavirus pandemic.

Almost three out of 10 foreign husbands were from the US. And about a third of foreign wives were from Vietnam, while many others were from China and Thailand.

The number of divorces among couples of different nationalities also decreased last year, according to Yonhap News Agency.

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！
