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。

私は今日、ひさしぶりに、ともだちとオンラインで話しました。
　
Zoomをつかって、はなしました。

私をいれて、4人のともだちとはなしました。

京都　きょうと
香川　かがわ
千葉　ちば
大阪　おおさか・・と、みんな、べつべつの場所(ばしょ)に住(す)んでいます。

かんたんには会えないので、Zoomをします。
ひさしぶりに会うときは、

「元気にしてた？」とききます。

「元気ですか？」とほぼ、同じです。

でも、「元気にしてた？」は、

ずっと、会っていないときも、
元気でしたか？の意味(いみ)があります。


「ひさしぶり。元気にしてた？」

「うん、ありがとう。ゆかりは？」

「私もめっちゃ元気！」

といいます。

ところで、私のともだちは、
いちばんさいしょに、

"ハロー”とか、
"生(い)きてた？"と私にいいます。

これは、教科書(きょうかしょ)には、
のっていない、あいさつですね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Nell'episodio di oggi, esploreremo l'evoluzione affascinante della televisione italiana nel corso dei decenni. Dall'educativo debutto nel 1954 con la Rai, che ha introdotto programmi che entravano nelle case degli italiani "in punta di piedi", fino all'odierna enfasi sull'intrattenimento.
Scopriremo come la televisione italiana abbia navigato tra programmi educativi come "Non è mai troppo tardi" che hanno combattuto l'analfabetismo e programmi controversi come "Il Grande Fratello" e "Uomini e Donne" ancora in onda oggi, rappresentando l'idea di successo per molti spettatori.
Questo episodio offre uno sguardo approfondito sulla trasformazione della televisione italiana e le implicazioni culturali di questa evoluzione.

From cheap student dinners to quick lunches and easy camping meals, people around the world love instant noodles.

According to the World Instant Noodle Association, the world ate more than 118 billion servings of instant noodles in 2021.

While they are easy to make, instant noodles can sometimes be a bit boring — but they don't have to be! So if you'd like your instant noodles to be a little tastier, here are some easy changes you can make:

Add flavor
Fresh ginger, green onions and garlic are found in many Asian dishes, and adding them to your instant noodles is an easy way to improve the taste.

Then, try adding extra sauces, like soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil or gochujang paste, among others. You could also try mixing a few of them together.

Add vegetables and eggs
Adding vegetables and eggs to your noodles will not only make them taste better — they'll also increase the nutrients in the dish.

Put an egg into the boiling water that your noodles are cooking in for an easy poached egg. You can also throw in some vegetables — like mushrooms, carrots or spinach — or cook them on their own and add them to your noodles afterward.

Add coconut milk
Add coconut milk to the noodle water to make a sweeter, creamier soup. You could then add some vegetables, meat or fish, and some lime and you'll end up with a dish that's similar to a Malaysian laksa — and just as tasty!
