021 - Brent Tests His Knowledge of British English

En este episodio hablamos de uno de los desafíos más grandes al aprender un nuevo idioma que es el habla conectada. La manera en que juntamos las palabras. Los nativos solemos hablar así, conectando las palabras, y es por eso que a veces hemos estudiado una lengua por mucho tiempo y cuando tenemos una conversación nos cuesta mucho entender a los nativos.

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.

こんばんは！
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。

さて、今日は
前回に続いて、関西弁の話をしようかなと思います。

関西弁、といえばどんな言葉が有名なんやろ。

ベタ
コテコテ
せやねん

今日はとりあえずこんな言葉を紹介しますね。

ベタ
　これは、漫才とかでもよく出てきますね。
お笑いから関西弁に浸透したのかはわからないですが、ま、関西人ならだいたい知ってると思います。ペンキを壁一面に塗るようなことをベタ塗り、と言いますが、それからきてるみたいですね。ベタ塗りー一面にならす、とか、変化がない、とかおもしろみがない→ひねりがない、普通→普通でおもしろくないみたいな意味ですね。　
　
　なんやねん、君は！ベタなこと言うて。
　ベタなんやけど、めっちゃお好み焼きすきやねん。　
　

コテコテ
　これも少しベタに似てる表現ですね。
こってりからきてるみたいですね。濃厚でくどいさま。こってり。という様な意味みたいです。

　コテコテな関西弁使うて。なんやねん君は！
　自分、ほんまコテコテな関西弁使うなー。

せやねん
　標準語なら、そうなんです。ですかね。
それが関西弁だとせやねん、になります。

　せやねん。昨日めっちゃ寒かったわ。
　さっきからせやねん、せやねん言うて。なんやねん君は！


　例文が参考にならなくなって来ましたね笑

ということで、今回はかなりベタな関西弁3つを紹介しました。関西に住んでなくても、会話中に使ってみると結構おもしろいですよ！

　また関西弁シリーズ、しますね！

　関西弁の話とかしたい方は、ぜひオンラインでお話しましょう！お待ちしてますね！
　
　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！
