Express to Impress

How to Make a Strong First Impression


Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今週(こんしゅう)は花の話(はなし)をします。🌸

花‥さくらや、マーガレット、チューリップなどの
「はな」のことです。

顔の真ん中(まんなか)にある、
「鼻(はな)」ではありませんよ。👃

では、花の話にもどります。

日本の花といえば、そう、桜(さくら)ですね。
私も桜の花がだいすきです。

本当に、うつくしいと思います。

でも、まって下さい！
桜もきれいなんですが、
日本では梅(うめ)の花も
楽しむことができます。

台湾(たいわん)や、韓国(かんこく)、
中国(ちゅうごく)でも、梅がきれいですね。

毎年(まいとし)、
3月の中旬(ちゅうじゅん)から、
4月頃(しがつごろ)に見ることができます。

今年(ことし)の冬(ふゆ)はあたたかいため、
いつもより少し、早いみたいです。

いま、3月になったばかりですが、
一番(いちばん)きれいに見ることができます。

これを「見頃(みごろ)」といいます。

「いま、京都(きょうと)では、

梅が見頃です。」

といいます。

では、桜の見頃はいつでしょうか？

つづきます。

今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだんです。

また、明日！
