T1 E11 - Expresiones mexicanas para sonar como un nativo

Today I’m going to talk about Kanji “一(ichi)”. 
One day one of my students said to me, “Kanji is difficult because they have a lot of way to read. For example, “一（ichi）” is very simple and easy, but it has so many ways to read.”
 I totally agree with her. Even native speakers of Japanese sometimes misread kanji. Then, what kind of reading and meaning does Kanji ”一” have?

日本語の漢字は　一つの漢字に　いくつかの読み方があります。
それが、漢字が難しいと感じる原因になっています。
このあいだも、きょねん　N3に合格した　生徒さんが　こんなことを言っていました。
「一」	はむずかしいです。読み方がとてもたくさんあって、たいへんです。
本当に　たくさん読み方があると思います。
一月（いちがつ）と　一月（ひとつき）は　漢字で書くと同じになってしまいます。ですから、日本人は書くときに　一月は漢字で、ひと月は「一」をひらがなで「ひと」と書いたり、同じ意味の「一か月」と書いたりします。

一年	一月　一日　一番　　は「いち」
一個　一回　一瞬　一品　は「いっ」、「い」に小さい「っ」がつく「「いっ」
一つ　一口　一休み　一言　は「ひと」
唯一　均一　統一　単一　は「いつ」
むずかしい読み方では、「一昨日」と書いて「おととい」　、「一昨年」と書いて「おととし」、「一寸」と書いて「ちょっと」と読むなど　ほかにもいろいろあります。

そして、「一」の意味は「ひとつ」という数を表すだけではありません。
「世界一」の「一」は　最上のもの　一番上のものという意味、
「一瞬」の「一」は、少し、わずかという意味です。
日本によくある100円ショップは100均（ひゃっきん）と言われています。
この100均は100円均一の略で、「均一」の「一」は　一つのまとまり、あつまり、一つのグループという意味です。　だから100均は100円の商品だけをあつめたお店ということになるんですね。
ほかにもいろいろありますが、全部は紹介できないので、興味のある人は辞書で調べてみてくださいね。

ここまで聞いてくれた人の中には、たぶん、漢字の読み方の「覚え方のコツはありますか？」「何か読むときのルールはありますか？」と思っているのではないでしょうか。

残念ながら、こうやれば覚えやすいという方法もルールもありません。
日本人も読み方がわからなかったり、間違えることがあります。
辞書で調べて　確認して、一つ一つ覚えるしかありません。

めんどうくさいかもしれませんが、知れば知るほどおもしろくなるのが漢字の世界だと思います。　ぜひ、楽しんで学習してください。

Vol.64 ロジェさんとポッドキャスト [日本旅行の経験] その2

Jorge is shopping at a clothing store.

Salesperson (Lily):
This jacket fits you really well! Would you like to size up and try a bigger size?

Customer (Jorge, confused):
Size up? You mean bigger size?

Lily (nodding):
Yes, exactly! "Size up" just means trying a larger size than the one you have.

Jorge (scratching his head):
Hmm… Size up? You mean, when I grow bigger?

Lily (laughing):
Haha, no, no! "Size up" just means trying a bigger jacket. Not growing, just a bigger size!

Jorge (still confused):
So… Size up means I wear bigger clothes, but I don’t grow taller?

Lily (smiling):
Yes! "Size up" means getting a bigger size of the same jacket. You don’t need to grow taller for that!

Jorge (nodding, still unsure):
Okay, okay, I try bigger size jacket. I think I understand!

Jorge (curious):
By the way, your English is really good. How do you speak so well?

Lily:
Well, I took speaking lessons with Teacher Smith on italki! She’s amazing for improving English.

Jorge:
Really? How I book  lesson with her?

Lily:
It’s super easy, just click on her profile on italki and book a speaking lesson!

Jorge:
Wow, easy? I book it now!

5 Useful Phrases for the IELTS Speaking Test

Taking the IELTS Speaking test is not difficult and in fact, you can even get a band score of 8 to 9…if you know what you are doing.

The IELTS Speaking test lasts for about 11-14 minutes. It is designed to assess your pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. It is divided into three parts.

When taking the IELTS Speaking test, you have to keep in mind that using effective phrases will help you get a high band score. Vocabulary and grammar are two of the criteria in this part of the IELTS test.


Here are some ideas to help you succeed at it and to impress the examiner!

1. Opening Statements
How you open your statements is your first opportunity to impress the examiner. 

Examples:

Today, I’d like to share with you about…
In this talk, I’m going to tell you how…

2. Closing statements
The manner in which you end your statements plays a vital role in the IELTS speaking test too.

Examples:

In conclusion…
To sum up…
To summarize

3. Beginning the Main Body of Your Speech 
Once you are asked a question or given a topic to talk about, be creative and use phrases and expressions that the examiner will find appealing. 

Examples:

 First and foremost….
And why do I find it so appealing? It is, after all….
To begin with… 

4. Building on Your Idea
When you have started talking about your topic, you would want to include some background information and some explanations and examples to help develop your topic. 

Examples:

Another reason why I like…
One of the main advantages…
One of the consequences…

5. Expressing Your Opinions
You should change your words while presenting your viewpoint on a subject, just as you should when adding personal experiences, rather than repeating the phrase ‘I think’.

Examples:

In my opinion…
I firmly believe that…
From my point of view…
