Mika’s natural Japanese Podcast  for N3–N4

#1 にほんごでじこしょうかい Let's do self introduction in Japanese (for Elementary level)

¡ Al fin en el hotel ! Ayer por la noche he llegado a la ciudad de Guayaquil de Ecuador. El hotel está a pocos minutos del Malecón 2000 . Hace dos meses que he hecho la reserva. ¡Y estoy encantada! Mi habitación es de tamaño grande. Tiene mucha luz y unos grandes ventanales. Tengo un baño muy lindo  y una gran caja fuerte. Lamentablemente la cama no es muy cómoda , pero el televisor me fascina . Los empleados del hotel son muy simpáticos y amables . Me ha atendido una recepcionista que sabía hablar muy bien Inglés. ¡Qué suerte tengo ! 
Me gusta mucho la ciudad. El centro de Guayaquil es realmente bonito y aquí la gente es muy agradable. Hay un restaurante de comida típica muy rico y barato  cerca de mi hotel. 
 El hotel es un poco  antiguo, pero está muy bien conservado. Sin embargo, hay mucho ruido por las noches . Continuamente escucho música y las bocinas  de los autos . Esta primera noche no he podido dormir muy bien, pero la  recepcionista del hotel me ha dicho que mañana me cambiará de habitación para que no me moleste el ruido . Ha sido muy atenta.

SHANNON: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting 
me to the musical.
ELENA: You are welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed the show. 
The choreography of the dancers was incredible. It 
reminds me of when I used to dance.
SHANNON: I know! You were such a talented ballerina. Do you 
miss dancing?
ELENA: Oh, that’s very kind of you, Shannon. I do miss it 
sometimes. But I will always be a fan of the arts. That’s 
why I love going to musicals because it’s the perfect 
combination of song, dance and theater.
SHANNON: Absolutely! I’m glad you are still an art fan too. Thank 
you for the invitation. It’s always a pleasure to attend 
an arts event with you and learn something new


LANGUAGE NOTES
• You are welcome. Elena replies “You are welcome” in this dialogue. She could also say, 
“Don’t mention it,” which is an example of downgrading. Downgrading a compliment 
varies with culture. When in doubt, just say “You are welcome.”
• When getting a compliment to someone (for example: “You were such a talented
ballerina”), you can either accept the compliment (“That’s very kind of you”) or 
downplay the compliment (“Oh, I wasn’t that good”).
• Giving compliments in English often includes using superlatives (“the most …,” “the 
best …”). This is the best musical playing on Broadway! / What’s the most entertaining 
movie you’ve seen? However, compliments can also be given by using the construction 
“I’m a fan of …”: I’m a fan of the arts. / I’m a big fan of theater. / I’m a huge fan of this 
band. Notice the use of adjectives
