はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの14回目です。すっかり夏です。暑いのでエアコンをつけています。筋トレを再開しました。今月も相変わらず忙しかったです。先週末は生徒さんと梅田駅の近くで寿司を食べました。とてもおいしかったです。

Hello, this is episode 14 of season 2 of my podcast. Summer has definitely arrived. It’s hot and I have the air conditioning on. I have resumed muscle training. This month has been busy as ever. Last weekend I had sushi with my students near Umeda station. It was very tasty.

今日は日本語の単語の覚え方について話したいと思います。新しい単語を覚える時、フラッシュカードを作る人が多いです。しかし、フラッシュカードの単語が完全にランダムだと、覚えるのが大変です。どの単語を、どれぐらい、いつまでに覚えればいいか考えてみましょう。私が日本語のレッスンで使う２つのアイデアについて話します。

Today I would like to talk about how to remember Japanese words. When learning new words, many people make flashcards. However, if the words on the flashcards are completely random, it can be hard to remember them. Think about which words you need to learn, how many and by when. I will talk about two ideas I use in my Japanese lessons.

１つめは、教科書の単語を覚える方法です。日本語の勉強で教科書を使っている場合は、この方法がいいです。まず、教科書の単語を１０個選んで、フラッシュカードに書いて、覚えます。一週間後、フラッシュカードの日本語だけを見て、その単語を使って、文章を作ってみます。単語の意味を思い出せない時は、辞書じゃなくて、教科書を見ます。教科書の日本語の文章だけを見て、単語の意味を思い出せるかチェックしましょう。

The first method is to learn vocabulary from textbooks. This method is good if you are using textbooks in your Japanese studies. First, choose 10 words from the textbook, write them on flashcards and memorise them. After a week, look at only the Japanese on the flashcards and try to make sentences using the words. If you cannot remember the meaning of a word, look in the textbook, not the dictionary. Look at only the Japanese sentences in the textbook (not the translation) and see if you can remember the meaning of the word.

２つめは、よく使う単語を覚える方法です。日本語のレッスンでよく会話をする場合は、この方法がいいです。まず、レッスンで使った単語を１０個選んで、ノートの同じページに書いて、覚えます。一週間後、単語の意味だけを見て、それを日本語でなんと言うか思い出してみます。思い出せない時は、辞書じゃなくて、ノートを見てみましょう。そして、レッスンの会話の内容を思い出せるかチェックしましょう。

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

SWE 153 The Fox and the Grapes (Beginner)

Hoy en día, es difícil pensar en el Día de Muertos sin que nos venga a la mente la imagen de las calaveras. Este motivo se ha convertido en un elemento esencial de esta celebración y, si bien el culto a la muerte en México existe desde la época prehispánica, su popularidad puede ser atribuida a una persona: el grabador y caricaturista José Guadalupe Posada.

Posada es conocido por ser el hombre detrás de La Catrina; sin embargo, sus contribuciones al arte popular mexicano van mucho más allá de esta ilustración, sirviendo como inspiración a grandes artistas del siglo XX como Diego Rivera y José Clemente Orozco. A través de sus caricaturas y grabados humorísticos, las calacas de Posada sirvieron como un instrumento de crítica social y política, ayudando a establecer la imagen de la calavera en el imaginario colectivo mexicano.

The idea that using the frequencies 528 and 432 hz to align us with the Earth's vibrations is very popular these days. I try sleeping with music recorded using these frequencies to see what happens. You can find radio stations in your device's download store using music  recorded on 528 and 432 hz.
