Nature calms stress so vocabulary and listening flow.

People scenes wake up rhythm, emotion, and real conversation.

Bring a photo, take a breath, look for 60 seconds—then study. It’s small, kind, and it works.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
犯をやります！　

音読み　はん
訓読み　おかーす、送り仮名はす

意味は、おかす、そむく、法をやぶる、とかです。

例えば、

・犯人ーはんにん　罪をおかした人

・犯罪ーはんざい　おかした罪。

・犯行ーはんこう　犯罪行為

・防犯ーぼうはん　犯罪がおこらないようにふせぐこと

・共犯ーきょうはん　2人以上が共同でする犯罪


こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・この事件の犯人は今もつかまっていません

・盗難は犯罪です

・今、私は犯行現場にいます

・防犯のために電気をつけて寝ます

・これであなたも共犯者です


こんな感じです。

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！
