Hello, dear learners! 
Here is a situation number two - "how to ask for help".
Here are survival phrases that are highly recommended to learn by heart to react quick when necessary. Oh boy... I am sure you will never use it but it's kind of safer to be 100% prepared when travelling (not only in Russia!)

Как попросить о помощи/How to ask for help

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私は最近(さいきん)YouTubeの動画(どうが)をつくっています。

いま、日本ではなくて、トルコに住んでいます。

トルコの生活についての、動画をつくっています。

動画をつくることを、
"動画編集"(どうがへんしゅう)といいます。

動画編集には、時間がかかります。

そうですね、いまは1つの動画をつくるために、5時間以上かかります。

いや、もっとかかっているかもしれません。

でも、はじめたばかりのころは、もっと時間がかかっていました。

少しずつですが、だんだん、上手になってきました。
時間も短くなってきました。

なんでもそうですが、はじめたばかりのころは、時間がかかりますね。

そして、たくさんミスもします。

でも、そうやって、少しずつ上手くなっていけると、信じて続けています。

日本語も同じですね。

はじめたばかりときは、単語しかわかりません。

そして、少しずつ聞くことができるようになりますね。

今日勉強しても、明日すぐに上手になりません。
でも、少しずつ、成長しているはずです。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Young people in South Korea are turning their backs on marriage, according to a government report.

A survey by Statistics Korea of Koreans aged between 19 and 34 found that just 36% have a positive opinion of marriage.

That's down from 56% in 2012.

The report found that many young Koreans feel they do not have enough money for marriage at a time when the cost of living is high.

Others said they don't think that marriage is necessary.

The report also found that only 28% of the women surveyed have a positive opinion of marriage.

This may be because women are choosing to put their jobs first — before marrying and starting a family.

Earlier in the year, Statistics Korea said that the number of marriages in the country in 2022 was the lowest ever recorded.

There were 192,000 marriages in 2022. The number of marriages recorded has now decreased in each of the last 11 years.

The government is worried, and has spent years trying to encourage young people to marry and have children, since the country's birth rate is also falling.

But more Koreans are happy to stay single. There is even a word for people who choose not to marry: bihon.

And instead of encouraging Koreans to marry, some people are asking the government to do more for single people who have chosen to live on their own.
