Easy Swedish with Viktoria

Ep. #7 - Japan - Min värdfamilj

日本では新学期が始まり、多くの人が新しい環境で人間関係を築きはじめています。 
日本人は「気をつかう」民族だと言われていますが、みなさんは気をつかわれると嬉しいでしょうか？
それとも壁を感じてしまいますか？
今回は、私たちの「気をつかう」体験について話します。 

In Japan, the new school or business term has begun, and many people are starting to build new relationships in unfamiliar environments.
It’s often said that Japanese people are very considerate of others, but how do you feel when someone is being considerate toward you?
Does it make you happy, or do you feel a sense of distance instead?
This time, we’d like to share some experiences.

Episode 32：気をつかう

HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Hi, there. How can I help you?
CLAIRE: Well, I’m in town visiting for a few days, and I 
need to get some things done while I’m here.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Sure. What do you need?
CLAIRE: I need to get my hair cut. I also need to have my
new pants hemmed.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: OK. Here’s a map of the city. There’s a good hair 
salon here, which is just a block away. And there’s 
a tailor right here. Is there anything else?
CLAIRE: Yes. I’ll need to have my car serviced before my
long drive home!
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: No problem. There’s a good mechanic a few 
blocks away.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, there. Notice the intonation in this greeting. It rises after “Hi” and falls after “there.”
• Sure is a friendly expression to mean “OK.”
• Get my hair cut / have my new pants hemmed / have my car serviced. Notice get/
have + object + participle. This structure is used to describe actions that someone else 
does for us. “Get” and “have” are interchangeable here.
• Is there anything else? here means “Do you need more information?”
• Before my long drive home! Notice the emphasis and intonation on “home.” The 
speaker wants to show humor here. If she doesn’t get her car checked, she might not get 
home! She wants to be friendly and light with the receptionist.
• No problem here means “Don’t worry.” Notice the stress on “No.” The receptionist 
laughs first, then puts emphasis on “No” by lengthening the word. This shows that she 
understands the car could break down if it doesn’t get serviced

Los árabes estuvieron en España, que entonces no era España, por muchos años. Eso dejó una gran influencia del árabe en la arquitectura, el arte, la cultura, y la lengua. Hoy voy a hablar de algunas palabras españolas muy usadas que vienen del árabe.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio. Una vez que lo hayas escuchado dime qué te parece. Dime también has usado estas palabras en tus conversaciones en español, y si conoces otras palabras españolas de origen árabe.
