Whenever 不 is before another fourth tone character, it becomes a second tone. 
Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.

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。

みなさん、「さようなら」は聞いたことがあると思います。

でも、じつは、日本人はさようならをあまりつかいません。

私も、こどものころは、さようならをつかっていました。
先生や、自分より年上の人に言っていました。

いまは、さようなら、じゃなくて、ほかの言葉(ことば)をいいます。

ともだちや、家族(かぞく)には、

「じゃあね。」
「またね。」
といいます。

また、会いましょう、という意味(いみ)です。

ほかにも、
「バイバイ。」もいいます。

あわせて、
「じゃあ、またね。バイバイ！」
といいます。

私の弟はよく、
「はーい、またな。じゃあなー。」
といっています。

会社(かいしゃ)の人とはどうでしょうか。

「失礼(しつれい)します。」
「おつかれさまです。」

と、よくいいます。

私は会社で「さようなら」をつかったことがありません。

みなさんはどうですか？


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！

Traveling tips! How to pack light!

A Chinese company claims it has built an electric vehicle battery that charges faster than any other.

The company, called Zeekr, says the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds — but only when the car is plugged into one of the company's super-fast charging stations.

It calls this a new charging speed record, although it can be hard to compare the charging speeds of different vehicles because some charging stations do not work as fast as others.

But, for example, Tesla's Model 3 can be charged to about half its range in 15 minutes.

A number of other EVs can boost their range by almost 200 kilometers with a 10-minute charge.

But Zeekr says that in 10-and-a-half minutes its new battery could be charged enough to boost a vehicle's range by about 500 kilometers.

The first of its cars to include the new battery is the 2025 Zeekr 007, which is on sale in China now.

Zeekr says it has already opened more than 500 of its super-fast charging stations in China, and plans to have 10,000 in 2026.

Chinese companies have been busy making EVs, offering customers a large amount of choice — something that people in some other countries, like the US, have been frustrated by.

As well as operating in China, Zeekr began selling its vehicles in the Netherlands and Sweden last year.

It plans to begin operating in Singapore by the end of 2024, and to open showrooms in Japan and South Korea in 2025.

“Your Voice Isn’t Broken”

Most professionals I work with already know how to speak English.
But they don’t feel like themselves when they speak it.

They sound smaller. More careful. Less certain.
Not because they lack skill — but because they don’t trust their voice in the moments that matter.

I don’t fix English.
I help leaders speak from clarity, not tension. From self-trust, not perfection.
And when they do — everything changes.

🌱 If this resonates, DM me “VOICE.”
Let’s bring your real voice back.
