スペイン語のレッスンと異常気象

私は毎日30分、スペイン語の会話レッスンをしています。スペイン語を勉強し始めたのはコロナで家に出られない期間、何か新しいことをはじめたかったからです。だから、コロナが落ち着いてから勉強をサボってしまって前より下手になってしまいました。今でも前の方がスペイン語が上手に話せたと思っていますが、毎日話すことで少しずつ自信を取り戻しています。

さて、今日のレッスンはパナマに住んでいる先生とのレッスンでした。現在パナマでは北部で台風がきていて、洪水などの被害が深刻だそうです。家の天井まで水に浸ってしまった家もあるようです。そこで話題になったのが最近の異常気象です。パナマではこのような台風は珍しいそうです。実は今年、私の住んでいる町でも洪水があり、全国紙に載るほどの被害がありました。私の町でも洪水はとても珍しいので、ニュースを見て驚きました。（私はその時、タイにいました。）

最近ではスペインでもバレンシア州で洪水があり、たくさんの犠牲者が出ていますよね。その他にも日本語の生徒さんの国でも異常気象というキーワードが出ることが多いです。言語を通して色々な国のことを自分の国のニュースで読むだけでなく、その国のニュースサイトで読んだり、その国の人から直接教えてもらうことができるのは言語学習の魅力の大きな一つですよね！スペイン語を勉強していてよかったなーと思った瞬間でした。

スペイン語のレッスンと異常気象

In this story, a deer named Macey plans a secret party with her sister. But what happens when two big cats try to stop her? This is Part 3 of 5.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Two huge, strong and dirty cats appear out of nowhere: one proud lion and one sneaky cheetah. They creep forward, saliva dripping from the sides of their mouths. 

The lion says, “Little deer, I don’t usually eat noodles, but I might have to today.” 

The cheetah laughs and laughs and laughs. She has never heard anything so funny in her entire life. 

Macey looks confused, but then notices she has noodles stuck on her horns. She feels embarrassed and angry at the same time. 

“If you must know, there were no chopsticks…” says Macey. 

The cheetah says, still laughing, “Did you get it, little dear? We don’t eat noodles; we’re carnivores… but you have noodles on your head and we’re going to eat you.” 

The lion frowns and looks at the cheetah. “Yes, thank you, Cheetah... That was my point…” 

Macey confidently steps forward and prepares to fight. She looks like a kung-fu master. She says, “I’m not scared of you. You will never eat me… or my noodles!” 

Macey then jumps high into the air and does a flying kick! 

Hiiiiiyyyaaaaaa! 

Macey kicks the lion right in his big face. Saliva explodes from his mouth. The lion hits the floor HARD. The cheetah is so scared that she crouches down and starts purring. The cheetah doesn’t want to get hurt. 

The lion is very weak. He gets up and tries to speak, but he’s in so much pain. He says, “ahh…I… my face… you’re so… powerful… Please don’t hurt me anymore…” 

Macey has fire in her eyes. She is tired of big cats trying to eat her. 

“You carnivores think you’re so strong,” says Macey, looking like she will crush them. “But you’re not! Now get out of here!” 

The two cats, not so big anymore, run away. 

With the setting sun behind her, Macey is standing strong, looking like a hero.
