Hi! I’m Dasha, and in this podcast I read simplified versions of classic Russian short stories and explain interesting words and expressions along the way. Perfect for A2–C1 levels. 

Слово за словом с Дашей

The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. 

Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. 

With people who don’t mind uncertainty …

Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar.
Show flexibility.
For example:
For me, either way is fine.
Let me know what you’re comfortable with.


With people who avoid uncertainty …

Offer details when making decisions.
Provide a context with background information. 
For example:
The reason I do it this way is…
Let me explain why (I’m doing this).

Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. 
I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you.
I can see why you (spend time on planning).

こんばんは！
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。

今日は、良いお年を！について。

今年もいよいよ終わりますね。
みなさんにとって、どんな1年でしたか？

日本では1年を振り返りながら、年越しそばを食べますね。
年越しそばとは、大晦日に縁起を担いで食べる蕎麦。細くて長いそばは長寿、長生きを願ったものです。日本で年末の風物詩ともなっている食文化ですね。

さっきちょうど奥さんと年越しそばを食べました。


そして、年が明けたら、初詣に行きます。
これは、1月の初めの方に行くことが多いです。
でも若い人や、家の近くに神社がある人は、年が明けた夜中に初詣に行く人がいますね。

僕たちは、ちょうど家の近くに神社があるので、年が明けた0時すぎに行ってみようと思います。

今年はPodcastをはじめました。
ほぼ毎日エピソードを作るのは結構大変なんですけど、聞いてくれる人がいてとても嬉しいです。ありがとうございます。

来年も日本語学習者のみなさんにとって、良い練習になるようなPodcastを作っていこうと思います。ちょっとでも興味を持った方はぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今年はお世話になりました。
来年よろしくお願いします！

良いお年を！
