5 Benefits of Trying to Speak Your Foreign Language

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私はいま日本を出て、

海外旅行(かいがいりょこう)をしています。

きのうは、トラブルがありました。

なんと、カフェでかばんを盗(ぬす)まれました。

盗まれる、つまり誰(だれ)かがかばんをもっていきました。

私の夫(おっと)のかばんが、なくなりました。

かばんの中には、カメラがはいっていました。

この旅行のために、買ったカメラです。

とても残念(ざんねん)です。

さいふやパスポートは、入っていませんでした。

スマホも大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)でした。

でも大切(たいせつ)なカメラとかばんが••。

盗まれたことに気づいて、警察(けいさつ)に行きました。

とても時間(じかん)がかかりました。

でも、警察の人は親切(しんせつ)で、元気になりました。

「私のさいふが盗まれました。」
「私のかばんがありません。たぶん盗れましれまた。」

といいます。

日本で、このフレーズをみなさんがつかうことがないことをねがっています。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだんです。

また明日。

Lesson 2.1 - Counting to 10!

The 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene
You can die from someone else's misery- emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and the fortunate instead.

Hi, and welcome back to All About Cats! In today’s episode, we’ll be diving into everything you need to know about bringing home a new kitten. Whether you already have a cat or you’re thinking of getting one, this episode will guide you through the essentials of kitten care, adoption, and setting up your home for your furry friend. Let’s get started!
How to preparing for a New Kitten Bringing a kitten home is exciting, but preparation is key! Here are some crucial steps to take before your new kitten arrives:
•	Set up a designated space: Choose a quiet room with a litter box, food and water bowls, a cozy bed, and some toys.
•	Kitten-proof your home: Remove toxic plants, small objects, and anything dangerous a curious kitten might chew on or swallow.
•	Find a veterinarian: Schedule an initial checkup to ensure your kitten is healthy and up to date on vaccinations.
•	Gentle handling and socialization: Spend time bonding with your kitten and introduce them slowly to new experiences, people, and sounds.
Adoption vs. Buying a Kitten When deciding whether to adopt or buy a kitten, adoption has many benefits:
•	Saves a life: Many cats in shelters need loving homes.
•	Cost-effective: Adoption fees are often lower than breeder prices and usually include vaccinations.
•	Reduces overpopulation: Adopting helps create space for other homeless animals.
Of course, there are some challenges with adopting strays. They may have health issues, as I experienced with my own kittens, Maggie, Nikko, and Lily. Maggie unfortunately didn’t survive due to a virus, and Nikko has neurological issues, but Lily is thriving. Despite the challenges, adoption is incredibly rewarding!

Thanks, joining me. Until next time, keep your whiskers twitching and your tails high! Bye

Bringing Home A New Kitten

⭐ In this A2-level podcast I will talk about objects and inventions, the development of smart objects in our daily lives, and the denunciation of consumerism by artists such as Jean Tinguely and Romuald Hazoumé whose work is based on recycled objects. We will practise the demonstrative pronouns and the compound past, and we will review the vocabulary for daily life objects, activities, and much more!

⭐ In the first part of this podcast I will speak French only, and in the second part I will translate and explain everything I said in English.
