木子是个好学生，平时总是能认真听课，积极回答老师的问题。但是，今天不知道怎么回事儿，老师从电脑上看到她一脸不安的样子。原来木子的手机出了点问题，她很担心下午不能正常收听自己喜欢的播客节目。

「台風 たいふう」＝「typhoon」のように、母国語（ぼこくご mother tongue) と にている言葉は覚えやすいですね。じゃあ、そうでないものは、どうやって覚えるか。今回は、ほとんど「ダジャレ pun, play on words 」です。実は  1974年に「日本語の起源（きげん origin ）は英語だ！」という意見を、本気で発表した人がいます。ん～、ほんとに困ってしまうんですが、きっとこの人は、「ラッキーな言葉」をたくさん発見しちゃったんですね。それでは、日本人が英語を覚える苦労を、せひ、お聞きください。そして笑ってください。

日本語での「Many Years Ago」の言い方についてお話ししました😊

Nihongo Hiyori | Japanese Podcast

#119 「Many Years Ago」は日本語でなんと言う？

Hello. Today, I will talk a little about the way to say "20 years old" that comes up in the first Chapter of Minna no Nihongo.
At 20 years old, it’s fine to say “にじゅっさい” (nijussai), but there’s also another way to say it: “はたち” (hatachi).　Japanese counters can be challenging to remember, as they are not “いちさい” (ichisai) but rather “いっさい” (issai), and not “しちさい” (shichisai) but “ななさい” (nanasai). Occasionally, there are completely different expressions, like for 20 years old. It can be difficult, but let’s do your best to memorize them.

As for “はたち,” in Lesson 5, the date “20th”  is also expressed as “はつか.” Perhaps ancient Japanese people used the character “は” to mean 20. Connecting these two ideas might make it a bit easier to remember. Keep up the good work!

Now, a little update regarding my course: I have launched a new Minna no Nihongo course. The content is exactly the same, but it can be taken with two people. It’s also possible with three or more, but in that case, the lesson fee will change a little bit.
Of course, just like the regular Minna no Nihongo course, there will be plenty of homework. If anyone would like to take it with a friend, please give it a try!

Alright, everyone, keep studying hard!
