はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの13回目です。私は昨日フライパンを買い換えました。フライパンの表面のコーティングが剥がれてきて、食べ物が焦げ付いてしまい、使いづらくなってたんですけど、調べてみたら、フライパンの寿命は2年ぐらいらしいですね。フライパンは10年ぐらい使えるのかと思ってました。私は学生の時、海外に住んでいて、家具付きの家に住んでいたことが多かったので、自分でフライパンを買い換える経験があまりなかったんですね。だから知りませんでした。皆さんももし、2年以上使っているフライパンがあったら買い換えてはどうでしょうか。

Hi, This is the podcast ep13. I bought a new frying pan yesterday. The coating on the surface of the frying pan was peeling off and food was getting burnt and it was getting difficult to use. I thought frying pans were supposed to last about 10 years. When I was a student, I lived abroad, mostly in furnished houses, so I didn't have much experience of buying new frying pans myself. So I didn't know that. If you have a frying pan that you have been using for more than two years, why not replace it?

そして私は今、italkiの記事も引き続き進めているんですけれども、今回のテーマはポッドキャストです。おすすめの日本語のポッドキャストとか、あとはポッドキャストを活用した勉強方法について書いているんですけれども、おすすめの番組を探すのが少し大変です。実は日本ではまだポッドキャストってそこまで一般的ではない、わけでもないですけど、もちろん個人で配信している人はたくさんいるんですけれども、大きい会社とか、芸能人とか、そういう人でポッドキャスト配信してるのはまだ一部ですね。

And now I'm continuing with the italki article, this time on the subject of podcasts. I'm writing about recommended Japanese podcasts and how to study using podcasts, but it's a bit difficult to find recommendations. Podcasts are not that common in Japan yet, but of course there are a lot of individuals who do it, but only a few big companies or celebrities who do it. 

日本のポッドキャストの専用アプリみたいなものもありますが、やっぱりアップルとかグーグルとか Spotify の方が一般的にはよく使われているみたいで、なかなか日本特有のポッドキャストの情報を探すのが大変です。音声が聞けるサービスだと、クラブハウスとかが人気みたいですね。それでもコロナ以降は、少しずつポッドキャストも人気が出てきているみたいで、番組も増え始めています。

There are Japanese apps for podcasts, but Apple, Google, and Spotify seem to be more commonly used, so it's hard to find information about Japanese podcasts. As for audio services, Clubhouse seems to be popular. Nevertheless, after Corona, podcasts are slowly becoming more popular, and the number of shows is starting to increase.

I ricordi di Firenze 

Mario e Lucia vivono ormai da cinque anni a Bologna.  Si sono conosciuti a Firenze quando tutti e due studiavano lì all’università. A Mario piacevano le opere d’arte al museo degli Uffizi e a Lucia invece piaceva passeggiare con gli amici a piazza della Signoria e sul Ponte Vecchio. Dopo la laurea in storia dell’arte, Mario ha trovato lavoro a Bologna in un museo di arte moderna; invece Lucia, che studiava lingue, ha trovato lavoro come insegnante di inglese alle scuole superiori. Mario dice che vorrebbe tornare a vivere a Firenze però anche a Bologna si trova molto bene. Anche a Lucia piacerebbe molto tornare a Firenze, però soltanto per fare una vacanza. Da casa di Mario a casa di Lucia ci vogliono 20 minuti con l’autobus e un quarto d’ora con l’auto. Mario e Lucia hanno deciso che a Giugno cambieranno casa e andranno a vivere in un appartamento più grande. Infatti adesso aspettano un bambino che nascerà a Luglio. Il ricordo più forte che ha Lucia di Firenze è il giorno in cui si è laureata e i suoi genitori e la sua famiglia sono venuti da Lecce per partecipare alla cerimonia di laurea. Racconta che si è così tanto emozionata che le sono uscite anche alcune lacrime. 


museo degli Uffizi = museo celebre di Firenze

Lettura livello A2: I ricordi di Firenze

In this story, a piece of toast named Buttersy has an uncomfortable bus ride to work. How will she deal with the terrible smell? This is Part 3 of 5. 

The bus kept going as the morning sun rose higher and higher. The candy passengers begun to seem uncomfortable. They wiped sweat off their foreheads and fanned themselves using their wrappers. The temperature was rising. 

Buttersy had a painful look on her face as she sniffed. “What’s that smell?” 

She scanned the bus and found the offender. 

In the middle of the bus was a middle-aged piece of cheesecake. He sat at the window and almost took up two seats because of his size. He was sweating, breathing heavily and groaning. The passenger next to him left her seat and decided to stand at the front. 

“Ugh, it’s disgusting,” said Buttersy, now holding her nose, not worried about what others will think. “How can he be so inconsiderate? A thing like that shouldn’t leave the house without a wrapper!” 

Choco laughed, knowing that Buttersy wasn’t serious, but only expressing her frustration. He said, “This is public life. Just keep breathing through your mouth; we’re not far from our stop.” 

Buttersy held her nose, getting angrier and angrier. She noticed the bus was equipped with a huge air conditioning system, but it was only blowing a tiny breeze. 

“What’s going on!? Are these candies all crazy?” she said, noticing how the others just tolerated the sour smell that filled the bus. “I’d prefer to have a bird peck out my eyes than this.” 

As the journey continued, the smell only got worse and worse.
