English Idioms in Use

Idioms are phrases or expressions with figurative meanings that differ from their literal meanings. They are often used to convey a message in a creative and humorous way. 
In this episode we will look at the following idioms:
1. 'Raining cats and dogs' - It is raining hard.
2. 'All ears' - I am listening.
3. 'Bite the bullet' - Do something uncomfortable.
4. 'Caught red handed' - Caught in the act of doing a crime.

Idioms are interesting and have an interesting history. They are entertaining and learned through exposure and use. If you like this podcast or have any suggestions please leave a comment. I would like to know your favorite idiom, let me know in the comments below :)

Communication is not just about successfully conveying your message. You also have to have interpersonal competencies  which makes the communication process more human.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気は、雨です。
気温は23℃です。

今日は1つうれしいことがありました。
このポッドキャストを聞いて、レッスンを予約してくれた方がいました。

とてもうれしかったです。
自分の知らないところでも、このポッドキャストを聞いて、日本語を勉強してくれている人がいることを実感しました。

これからもがんばってポッドキャストを作ろうと思いました！

本当にありがとうございます！


さて、今日は、イントネーションについて。
イントネーションをあげたり下げたりすることで、
疑問文にしたり、感情を表すことができます。

文の最後を上げることで、疑問文になります。
例えば、
・このコーヒーはおいしいですか？
・北海道は涼しいですか？
など。質問をしたい時は、最後をあげて疑問文にしてください。ーかをつけなくても、文末を上げることで疑問文にできます。


言葉のイントネーションを変えることで感情を伝えることができます。
例えば、そうですか、という言葉を使って、やってみましょう。
・そうですか！ーおどろきの気持ち
・そうですか？ーうたがいの気持ち
・そうですか。ー不満の気持ち
・そうですか。ー怒りの気持ち
・そうですか！ーうれしい気持ち

どうですか？伝わりますか？
同じ言葉でもイントネーションが変わると、伝わり方が変わります。

よかったら、練習してみてくださいね！

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！
