Français avec Cathy

épisode numéro 1  " Le guide du routard "

然后他拿一块有红方格子的手绢擦着额头。
Then he mopped his forehead with a handkerchief decorated with red squares.
我干的是一种可怕的职业。
I follow a terrible profession.
以前还说得过去，
In the old days it was reasonable.
早上熄灯，晚上点灯，
I put the lamp out in the morning, and in the evening I lighted it again.
剩下时间，白天我就休息，夜晚我就睡觉.
I had the rest of the day for relaxation and the rest of the night for sleep."
那么，后来命令改变了，是吗？
And the orders have been changed since that time?
点灯的人说：“命令没有改."
"The orders have not been changed," said the lamplighter.
"惨就惨在这里了！这颗行星一年比一年转得更快，而命令却没有改。”
"That is the tragedy! From year to year the planet has turned more rapidly and the orders have not been changed!"
“结果呢？”小王子问。
"Then what?" asked the little prince.
结果现在每分钟转一圈，我连一秒钟的休息时间都没有了。
Then the planet now makes a complete turn every minute, and I no longer have a single second for repose.
每分钟我就要点一次灯，熄一次灯！

Once every minute I have to light my lamp and put it out!
真有趣，你这里每天只有一分钟长？
"That is very funny! A day lasts only one minute, here where you live!
“一点趣味也没有，”点灯的说，
"It is not funny at all!" said the lamplighter.
我们俩在一块说话就已经有一个月的时间了。
While we have been talking together a month has gone by.
一个月？
A month?
“对。三十分钟。三十天！——晚上好。”于是他又点着了了他的路灯。
"Yes, a month. Thirty minutes. Thirty days. Good evening." And he lighted his lamp again.
小王子瞅着他，他喜欢这个点灯人如此忠守命令。
As the little prince watched him, he felt that he loved this lamplighter who was so faithful to his orders.
这时，他想起了他自己从前挪动椅子寻找日落的事。
He remembered the sunsets which he himself had gone to seek,in other days, merely by pulling up his chair;
他很想帮助他的这位朋友。
and he wanted to help his friend.
“告诉你，我知道一种能使你休息的办法，你要什么时候休息都可以。”
"You know," he said, "I can tell you a way you can rest whenever you want to... "
“我老是想休息。”点灯人说。
"I always want to rest," said the lamplighter.
因为，一个人可以同时是忠实的，又是懒惰的。
For it is possible for a man to be faithful and lazy at the same time.

Language Acquisition Vs. Skill-Based Learning

Hablar de tradiciones navideñas venezolanas es bastante emocionante para los que nacimos en la tierra de Bolívar, y todo esto porque se conjugan un conjunto de símbolos cargados de significados, uno de ellos es sin duda, la comida que se consume, ejemplo de esto: la hallaca. El plato emblemático de la tradición decembrina venezolana. Aunque un poquito tarde considerando la fecha, la practica auditiva siempre será útil, así que... continua escuchando.

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。

さっき、北海道に帰ってきました！
大阪と違って、まだちょっと寒いですね。

今日は、日本の国内を長距離を移動する時は、国内の格安航空会社を使うのがオススメかもしれない、という話をします。

日本では格安航空会社のことをLCCといいます。これはlow cost carrier の略ですね。英語だとBudget airlineと言うみたいですね。LCCという言葉はどこで作られたのか気になりますが。とりあえず、LCCでチケットを買うのが良いと思います。

		ピーチ・アビエーション
		ジェットスター
		バニラエア
		春秋航空
		スカイマーク
		エア・ドゥ
		ソラシドエア
		スターフライヤー

などがあります。もしかしたら今はないものもあるかもしれないです。

航空券は安い分、サービスはかなり限定的です。
席の指定、ドリンクやフード、7キロ以上の荷物の持ち込みなどは有料です。そういうサービスがいらない人は、料金をおさえられるのでとても良いと思います。

ぼくが良く使っているのはジェットスターです。

北海道の新千歳空港から、大阪の関西空港に移動する時に使っています。シーズンによりますが、¥5,000ぐらいで片道のチケットを買うことができます。有料のサービスを使わない時にそれぐらいの料金になります。

飛行機の移動時間は2時間ぐらいなので、新幹線よりも早いですね。移動時間も楽しいですが、さっと短時間で移動したい方にはオススメです。

ちなみに、知っている人も多いと思いますが、海外の方はJR rail passという新幹線を日数限定で乗り放題できるサービスがありますね。

JAPAN RAIL PASS

これはかなりいいサービスだと思います。日本人は残念ながら使えない…、海外のみなさん、うらやましい！

ということで、少し話がそれましたが、LCCのことを知らなかった方は、ぜひホームページなどで調べてみてください。長距離の移動の時はとても便利ですよ！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！

#240日本の飛行機LCCについて！

Hello~
I'm Grace and your native Korean teacher.

How's your sentence reading going? ^^
Please make a habit of reading your Korean sentences.
I uploaded this Audio File so you can practice basic Korean pronunciation daily.

Look at this.
First ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ(X) ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ 자음 Consonants
Middle ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ ㅐㅒㅔㅖㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅢ 모음 Vowels
End ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㅆ 받침 Final consonatns

Remember, English is made from the back of your throat, but 한글 is mainly made from your mouth.
The sound comes from the front.
In other words, you use entirely different muscles when you talk.
So you have to practice it over and over again to become natural.

In Korean, the shape of the lips of the vowels should be correct,
And you have to understand the difference between the pronunciation of consonants in the initial consonants and consonants in the final consonants.

The basics are the most important.
Before reading Korean sentences with Korean grammar in Korean conversation sentences.
Read the basic pronunciation over and over again.

I uploaded a video.

Chapter 5 of the Neil McTaggart series.   A transcript is available. 

In this episode, Neil spends his first Saturday in Canada with his new family.  
They walk through the snowy fields and meet the MacLeods, fellow Scottish emigrants who speak both Gaelic and English. 

For the first time since his grandmother’s death in 1918, Neil hears the sound of Gaelic again. Among the MacLeods is Esther, a girl who will become important in Neil’s journey, both as a friend and as a guide in learning to read and write English.  

This series explores themes of migration, identity, and belonging.  
It is also perfect for English learners who want to improve listening skills through story.
