☆Words☆
うなぎ：eel

土用（どよう）："土用（どよう）" strictly refers to the 18 days before the first days of spring, summer, fall, and winter (on the lunar calendar). Today, however, "土用（どよう）" generally refers only to the 18 days before the first day of fall.

丑（うし）の日（ひ）：The day called "丑（うし）の日（ひ）", which is translated literally as the day of the Ox, can be seen in the calendar that follows the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. The twelve signs were introduced to Japan from ancient China. The twelve signs were allocated one by one to the days on the calendar. "丑（うし）の日（ひ）" is the day to which the second sign of the twelve signs is allocated. 

立春（りっしゅん）：the first day of spring
立夏（りっか）：the first day of summer
立秋（りっしゅう）：the first day of fall
立冬（りっとう）：the first day of winter

つまり：in other words

干支（えと）：the twelve zodiac signs in Chinese astrology

梅干（うめぼ）し：pickled plums
ウリ：a gourd

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#42 うなぎの日？ / Eel Day? // N4 Level /Japanese listening

Stop confusing "Shitte-iru" and "Wakatta"! 💡
Have you ever said "Shitte-imasu" when you actually meant "I understand"? Or have you accidentally sounded a bit rude by saying "Shiranai"?
In this episode, Maiko Sensei — a professional Japanese teacher with over 450 lessons of experience — breaks down the tricky difference between "Knowing" and "Understanding."
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Data vs. Puzzle: The simple "Brain Hack" to choose the right word every time.
The "Make Sense" moment: Why "Wakatta" is your best friend when learning new things.
Interactive Quiz: Test your skills with two real-life scenarios!
Danger Zone: Why saying "Shiranai" to a friend (or a crush!) might cause a big misunderstanding. 💔

If you want to sound more natural and avoid awkward silences, this episode is for you. Let's make Japanese make sense together!


HONTO NO NIHONGO with Maiko

Ep4: Do you KNOW or do you UNDERSTAND?

おとといからヨーロッパでYahoo Japanが見られなくなりました。
私は日本のニュースをチェックするためにYahoo Japanを使っていたので、とても不便です。
でも、ニュースをチェックするついでに芸能人のゴシップやくだらない記事を読むのに時間を使っていたので、この悪い習慣を止めるためのいいきっかけになるかもしれません。

みなさんはどんなサイトを使ってニュースを読んでいますか？
今すぐやめたい悪い習慣はありますか？

ついでに：while I’m at it
不便：ふべん　inconvenient
くだらない：useless

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

悪い習慣（Bad Habit）

Our lifestyle is like a complex tapestry made up of the diverse personal choices we make, shaping who we are as individuals. From our daily routines to the major life paths we take, these choices reflect our values and dreams. They go beyond just habits, influencing how we interact with others and navigate the world around us. Whether big or small, our habits are key in forming the patterns of our lives. Each decision, habit, and value embraced contributes to a constantly evolving self-portrait that embodies our identity and beliefs.
