How to use Lao expressions 

LaoExpressions#2 ທີ່ສຸດ The Soot (The most/the best)

“这倒叫我有点紧张…我打不出哈欠来了…”小王子红着脸说。
"That frightens me... I cannot, any more..." murmured the little prince, now completely abashed.
“嗯！嗯！”国王回答道：“那么我…命令你忽而打哈欠，忽而…”
"Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I – I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to–"
他嘟嘟囔囔，显出有点恼怒。
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.
因为国王所要求的主要是保持他的威严受到尊敬。
For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected.
他不能容忍不听他的命令。
He tolerated no disobedience.
他是一位绝对的君主。
He was an absolute monarch.
可是，他却很善良，他下的命令都是有理智的。

But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.
“如果我命令一个将军,”他会说,举个例子,“如果我命令一个将军改变自己变成一个海鸟,”
"If I ordered a general," he would say, by way of example, "if I ordered a general to change himself into a sea bird,"
而这位将军不服从我的命令，那么这就不是将军的过错，而是我的过错。”
and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general. It would be my fault.
小王子腼腆地试探道：“我可以坐下吗？”
"May I sit down?" came now a timid inquiry from the little prince.
“我命令你坐下。”国王一边回答，一边庄重地把他那白底黑花皮袍大襟挪动了一下。
"I order you to do so," the king answered him, and majestically gathered in a fold of his ermine mantle.
可是小王子感到很奇怪。
But the little prince was wondering...
这么小的行星，国王他对什么进行统治呢？
The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
他对国王说：“陛下…请原谅，我想问您…”
"Sire," he said to him, "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question..."
国王急忙抢着说道：“我命令你问我。”
"I order you to ask me a question," the king hastened to assure him.
陛下…你统治什么呢？
Sire–over what do you rule?
国王非常简单明了地说：“我统治一切。”
"Over everything," said the king, with magnificent simplicity.
一切？
Over everything?
国王轻轻地用手指着他的行星和其他的行星，以及所有的星星。
The king made a gesture, which took in his planet, the other planets, and all the stars.
小王子说：“统治这一切？”
"Over all that?" asked the little prince.
“统治这一切。”国王回答。
"Over all that," the king answered.
原来他不仅是一个绝对的君主，而且是整个宇宙的君主。
For his rule was not only absolute: it was also universal.
那么，星星都服从您吗？
And the stars obey you?
“那当然！”国王对他说，“它们立即就得服从。我是不允许无纪律的。”

This story is full of made-up creatures with funny names, all hiding around the house. It’s a great way to enjoy rhyming words and playful sounds while practicing English. Send me a message for your free digital copy of this book to follow along. Let’s get started!

In this episode, I discuss the advantages of using pocasts to improve your language skills. Podcasts were very useful for me as I learned Spanish. I still use them today, but they also helped me as a beginner. They are incredibly motivating -- and there is a lot of research to support using them as a tool to improve your skills. Thanks for listening!

How to learn languages with Podcasts

Today I am going to introduce Japanese idiomatic expressions using "口（くち/mouth）”.
Do you know the meaning of "口（くち）をきく”？　This is a question of JLPT N2.
There are a lot of words using "口（くち/ mouth）”　I think they are interesting.
I hope you enjoy Japanese words! Thank you!

JLPTの言語知識を問う問題に、「言葉の使い方として最もよいものを一つ選びなさい」というのがあります。
先日、生徒さんとN２の問題をしていたときに、
「口をきく」ということばがでてきました。
彼が選んだのは　「彼は味のことについては口をきいている」でした。
じつは、これはまちがいです。この文は「口うるさい」が合っていますね。　
正解の文は「主人と初めて口をきいたのは電車の中だった。」です。つまり、この「口をきく」は、「話をする」という意味で使われています。
「口」がつくことばは、ほかにもたくさんあります。
口がうまい　彼は口がうまいので、ついのせられてしまった。
口が重い　　父はその話になると口が重くなる。
口が堅い　　彼女は口が堅いので信用できる。
口が軽い　　彼は口が軽いから、大事なことは言わないほうがいいよ。
口が滑る　　うっかり口が滑って、彼女を怒らせてしまった。
口が悪い　　彼は口が悪いが、本当はいい人ですよ。
口げんかする　気が付いたらいつも妻と口げんかしている。
口コミ　　　　どのレストランにするかは、口コミを見てから決めることにしている。
口に合う　　　初めて食べたけど、このスープは口に合います。
口にする　　　体重チェックがあるので、朝から何も口にしていない。
口を出す　　　よその家のことに口を出すのはよくない。
口ぐせ　　　　　彼は一日に何度も「よし！」と言っている。きっと口ぐせなんだろう。
「口」が付く表現だけでなく、「足」「手」「鼻」など体の一部を使った表現はたくさんあります。　意味を知ると結構　おもしろいと思うので、興味がある人は　ぜひ　調べてみてくださいね。
