Especial Navidad 1-Decoraciones de Navidad y un poco de vocabulario

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.

Приятного прослушивания!

Выпуск 25. Родительный падеж в контексте / The Genitive case in context 

Learning Indonesian is fun. But for people who have never learned Indonesian at all, they may not know and are confused about how to get started. Well, to start learning a Indonesian, the first thing you have to learn is the Indonesian alphabet. Why should you learn the alphabet? The answer is, so that when you start learning vocabulary, you can pronounce the word correctly. So, if you've never studied a Indonesian at all, don't underestimate learning the alphabet. And in every country it will be different how to pronounce the alphabet. If it's your first time learning a Indonesian and the teacher doesn't teach you how to read the alphabet, don't hesitate to ask your teacher to give you an alphabet reading lesson first.

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

今日もN4です！
〜しか、についてやります！

例文をつくりましょう！


・英語をずっと勉強しているのに、ほとんど話せません。聞き取りしかできません。

・昨日、3時間しか寝てません。

・今、100円しか持ってません。

・iPhoneのバッテリーが6%しかありません。

・体がしんどいので、食べやすいものしか食べたくない。

こんな感じです！
英語のonlyに近いですね。

これだけ、ということを強調したい時に使います。
ぼくもよく使います。

みなさんも一緒に声に出したり、例文作ってみたりしてくださいね！

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！
