Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Describing the River (with transcript)

In this episode, I read a simplified version of Mikhail Zoshchenko’s short story “Жених” — a funny and ironic story about work, social expectations, and human vanity.
Together, we’ll listen to the story, talk about some interesting expressions, and explore Zoshchenko’s unique humor and vivid language.

This episode is great for intermediate learners (B1–B2) who want to improve their listening skills.

A lot of my students make mistakes in the Past Simple when they're having a conversation. I think this is so unnecessary because it really is simple. To be fluent in English, you need to go back to the simple tenses and learn them really well. Build the foundation of your English speaking on a strong Past Simple and Present Simple foundation. Happy listening!

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの27回目です。毎日暑いですね。私は先週、夏服をオンラインで注文しました。私は相変わらず家にいることが多いので、外に出た時はなるべく遠くに行くようにしています。今までは近所のコンビニでコーヒーを買っていましたが、歩いて１５分ぐらいの店に行くことにしました。コーヒーは店によって全然味が違いますね。そこのコーヒーは少し高いですが、コンビニより美味しいです。

Hello. This is episode 27 of my podcast. It's hot every day. I ordered my summer clothes online last week. I am still at home most of the time, so when I go out I try to go as far as possible. I used to buy coffee at a local convenience store, but I decided to go to a shop about 15 minutes' walk away. Coffee tastes totally different depending on the shop. The coffee there is a bit more expensive, but it tastes better than at the convenience store.

最近、会話を練習している生徒さんが増えています。文法を覚えても、リスニングとスピーキングに自信がないと、実際に言葉を使うのは難しいですよね。発音は、大人になってから勉強するのは無理だと考えている人が多いですが、実は違います。母音の種類やイントネーション、母国語との違いを勉強で理解して、練習を繰り返せば、大人でもかなり自然な発音になります。発音についてもっと詳しく教えることができるように、今朝、本屋に行きました。

More and more students are practising conversation these days. Even if you learn grammar, it is difficult to actually use the language if you are not confident in your listening and speaking skills. Many people think that pronunciation is impossible to learn as an adult, but it is not. If you understand the different types of vowels, intonation and differences from your native language through study and repeated practice, even adults can pronounce words quite naturally. I went to the bookshop this morning so that I could teach more about pronunciation.

私の家の近くにはジュンク堂という本屋があります。ジュンク堂は、日本で一番大きい本屋チェーンの一つです。どの店舗も広くて、大量の本があります。立ち読みもできるので、東京に住んでいた時からよく利用していました。立ち読みとは、売っている本を買う前に読むことです。本屋に行ったのは昼前でしたが、たくさん人がいました。会社員も在宅勤務をするようになったので、決まった時間に働いていない人が多いです。
