⭐ In this A2-level episode, we will talk about consumption, the development of online shopping, initiatives to consume less and differently, and minimalism. We will practice relative pronouns and the comparative, learn how to describe the use and function of something, and review the vocabulary of everyday life objects in French, among many other things.

Learn French with Anthony

A2#01 Consommation et minimalisme

Oh man, it's a real trip how some folks think they're all high and mighty in English just 'cause they've crammed a bunch of fancy words. But let me tell ya, knowing a bunch of bombastic vocabulary doesn't automatically make you advanced. It's like putting on a flashy outfit but not knowing how to dance, right? Instead of getting all hung up on being "advanced," it's way more crucial to be well-spoken and really nail the level you're at. Master that foundation, and then build on it. That's where the real growth happens, my friend.

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。

今日もN2をやります！
〜ないこともない、やります。
 これは、〜ないということがあるかもしれない 、と言いたい時に使います。

早速例文です！


・納豆は食べられないことはないけど、あまり好きじゃです。

・それはできないこともないけど、普通はあまりやりません。

・通えないこともないけど、ちょっと遠すぎます。

・ここは住めないこともないけど、せまくてうるさいです。

・行けないこともないけど、できたら行きたくないです。


こんな感じですね。

たぶんできるけど、本当はしたくない、ちょっと嫌だ、みたいな時に使いやすいですね。


はっきり言わない、少し遠回しな言い方は日本語らしいですね。

まー行けないこともないけど…。ていう時、ありますが、それはいきたくない、気持ちが強い、ということですね。

いつもの通り、声に出して練習したり、自分で例文作ったりして練習してくださいね！


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！
