New Year (正月, shōgatsu) is the most important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.

Years are traditionally viewed as completely separate, with each new year providing a fresh start. Consequently, all duties are supposed to be completed by the end of the year, while bonenkai parties ("year forgetting parties") are held with the purpose of leaving the old year's worries and troubles behind.

Homes and entrance gates are decorated with ornaments made of pine, bamboo and plum trees, and clothes and houses are cleaned.

On New Year's eve, toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles), symbolizing longevity, are served. A more recent custom is watching the music show "kohaku uta gassen", a highly popular television program featuring many of Japan's most famous J-pop and enka singers in spectacular performances.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Compañero Indeleble.

Kael despertó en una cámara de stasis, solo y desorientado. A su lado, AX-42, un androide de avanzada inteligencia, se activó. Juntos, exploraron una misteriosa estación espacial, enfrentando peligros y resolviendo enigmas. En ese entorno hostil, forjaron un vínculo inquebrantable. Kael, un humano solitario, encontró en AX-42 un compañero leal y un amigo incondicional.

Sin embargo, su paz se vio interrumpida por una antigua raza de seres mecánicos, los Guardianes del Orden, que los perseguían a través del cosmos. Los Guardianes consideraban a cualquier forma de inteligencia artificial una amenaza y estaban decididos a eliminar a AX-42. En una batalla épica, AX-42 se sacrificó para proteger a Kael, dejando al humano desconsolado pero lleno de determinación.

Con el corazón roto, Kael juró vengarse de los Guardianes y dedicar su vida a proteger a todas las formas de vida inteligente. Emprendió un viaje solitario por el cosmos, llevando consigo el recuerdo de su querido amigo. A pesar de la pérdida, Kael encontró un nuevo propósito: honrar la memoria de AX-42 y luchar por un futuro donde humanos y androides pudieran coexistir en armonía.

Welcome my friends to another episode of the Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host Carl and Italki American English tutor. So today I want to talk to you about… This is the last day of January of the New Year 2023. And I just had a problem this morning. I was trying to download some software, I was trying to install software on my computer and I ran out of internal storage. And so I had my computer failed to install the software. And, I wanted to make the analogy of the human brain. And the computer. So a lot of times we feel stressed out and we have lots of things going on. In our mind our mind is completely full, feels like it's running without any extra storage space.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
北海道に帰ってきてPodcastを2本、とっています。

昨日、新しくレッスンを受けてくださった方がと話しました。会話の中で、私のPodcastをいくつか聞いてくれていたことがわかり、とてもうれしい気持ちになりました。聞いてもらえるとがんばろう！という気持ちになりますね。本当にありがとうございます。

あらためて、なぜPodcastをはじめたかたというと、日本語を学習しているみなさんの助けになりたい！と思ったからです。もちろんレッスンで実際に話すのが1番良いと思いますが、聞いて耳でなれることもとても大切だと思います。

できるだけ毎日3分ほどの短いPodcastを作りますので、気に入った内容は何度も聞いてみたり、聞きながら自分でも話してみたりしてみてください。

私も今、英語の発音の勉強をしていますが、発音の練習をするとリスニング、聞き取りも良くなっている実感があります。気に入った内容は何度も何度も聞いています。


これからもいろんなトピックについて話していきますので、
もし、気に入ったトピックについて、実際に私と話したい！と思った方は、ぜひレッスンでお話しましょう！お待ちしています！

ということで、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！
