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。
今日はたばこの話です。

あなたは、たばこをすいますか？

私はたばこをすいません。

日本では、みんながいる場所でたばこをすうことができません。

たとえば、駅(えき)や公園(こうえん)、

電車やレストランでは、たばこをすうことはできません。

これを禁煙(きんえん)と言います。

たばこは禁止(きんし)とおなじ意味(いみ)です。

「駅は禁煙です」

「このお寺(てら)は禁煙です」

「ここは禁煙ですか？」

と言います。

日本では、ほとんどの道(みち)も禁煙です。

禁煙のところが多いです。

たばこが好きな人にとっては、ちょっと大変ですね。

たばこがすいたいときは

「すみません、たばこはどこですえますか？」
と聞いてみて下さい。

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。

Do you ever wish you had a personal coach for language learning? The good news is—you can be your own. 

In this episode of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Create identity-based goals that stick
✨ Build automatic habits with if–then plans and habit stacking
✨ Run a weekly self-check to track and adjust
✨ Use WOOP to turn obstacles into clear next steps
✨ Speak to yourself like a kind, encouraging coach

In Episode 93, you learn how to life-coach yourself through your language journey with compassion and structure. You begin with an identity statement that anchors your learning, then set one clear outcome and two supportive behaviours. You discover how to make practice automatic through if–then plans, habit stacking, and pairing practice with daily routines. A weekly self-check helps you track progress, reduce friction, and adjust kindly. Tools like WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) keep you moving forward, and self-talk shifts from criticism to encouragement. With simple drills for vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, and writing, you create a steady system that keeps you consistent and motivated.

Listen now and discover how to coach yourself with compassion, structure, and steady progress.
And if you’d like extra guidance, I’d love to walk this journey with you in class on Italki.

DOCTOR A SU PACIENTE:
-No debe usted abusar del TEQUILA. Por lo menos tiene que beber tres veces más agua que de Tequila. Venga a verme dentro de ocho días.
A los ocho días el paciente está más enfermo que antes.
-¿Hizo usted lo que le ordené? -pregunta el médico.
-Sí, doctor, estoy bebiendo tres veces más de agua que de Tequila... y créame que es una tortura.
¡Hay días que me trago treinta litros de agua!

With both a European and Asian side, Istanbul really is where East and West meet. Here are some of the city's top tourist attractions.

Sultanahmet
Many of Istanbul's most famous buildings are in Sultanahmet on the European side. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful Blue Mosque, built by Sultan Ahmet I in the 17th century. Or they can take a trip to the city's past in the Hagia Sophia — which has been both a Christian church and a mosque before being made into a museum.

Spice Bazaar
While the Grand Bazaar is the most famous Istanbul market, the Spice Bazaar offers a more fun and colorful shopping experience. Almost any spice can be found in the Spice Bazaar, as well as Turkish candies — and the shops will let you try a little bit of everything!



Kadiköy
The Kadiköy neighborhood on Istanbul's Asian side is popular with young people for its pubs, cafes and music venues. Chat with artists and writers in the tea garden of the Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center, which celebrates the life of one of Turkey's most famous poets. After that, shop for antiques on Tellalzade Street.



The Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is between Istanbul's two sides. There are many Bosphorus boat tours to choose from, including ones with meals and entertainment. For the best price, take one of the city's public boats — tickets cost less than $1, and they offer the same sights.



Food
Istanbul is famous for its food. Enjoy some meze — many small plates of food — with fish and the local spirit, raki. Or buy a simit — a round bread covered in seeds — from the street sellers. Don't forget to try a cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea with lots of sugar.
