This time, I'm talking about the Japanese nursery rhyme "Oshogatsu".
This was written by Kume Higashi and the music was composed by  Rentaro Taki.
This song was written about  120 years ago, but it is still often played in the city at the end of the year.The meaning of this song is as folows.

How many more nights will it be New Year's?
Let's fly kites and play with a spinning top at New Year's.
Come, come quickly New Year's Day

今回は　日本の童謡『お正月』について　お話しています。
作詞（さくし）：東くめ（ひがし　くめ）・　作曲（さっきょく）：滝廉太郎（たき　れんたろう）
歌詞（かし）
1.もういくつ寝（ね）ると  お正月（しょうがつ）　お正月には  凧（たこ）あげて　こまをまわして 　あそびましょう　　はやく 来い来い（こい こい） お正月
2.もういくつ寝（ね）ると  お正月（しょうがつ）　お正月には  毬（まり）ついて　追羽根（おいばね）ついて  あそびましょう　はやく　来い来い　 お正月
意味（いみ）：
１ばんは、「あと　何回　ねたら、お正月かな？　お正月には　たこあげや　こままわしをして　あそぼう。はやく　来て　来て　お正月」　２ばんは「まりつきや　はねつきをして　あそびましょう」に歌詞が　変わります。
この曲は、お正月を楽しみにしている気持ちを歌っています。

120年ぐらい昔に作られた曲ですが、今でも　年末になると　スーパーなどで　よくこの曲が流れます。この曲をきくと、「もうすぐお正月だなあ」と思います。

Problems English learners struggle with. Pronunciation what is it and how to improve it.

Pronunciation is the way in which we produce the sounds and stress patterns of words in a language. Good pronunciation is important for clear and effective communication in English, as it can impact how well others understand what we are saying.

 To improve pronunciation, learners can use various strategies such as listening to and imitating native speakers, using pronunciation guides or apps, and practicing with a language teacher who can provide feedback and correction.

Additionally, learners can work on specific problem areas, such as word stress or intonation, and use resources such as online videos or audio recordings to practice. With consistent effort and practice, learners can improve their pronunciation and become more confident communicators in English.

Dive into the recording and improve your listening / model the pronunciation and be inspired to improve your English further.
