In this week's episode of English In A Teacup,  we will be revising the third conditional as well as learning about modal perfects.  To help us with these grammar topics, Miss Finesstocrat will be talking about regrets as she reminisces about the last few months, but will the episode have a happy ending for her? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!

Hello 你好

Bu bölümde mutfaktan gelen üç deyimi öğreneceksiniz: ayvayı yemek, kabak tadı vermek ve tadı tuzu kalmamak. 
Neden mutfaktan gelen diyorum? Çünkü Türkçede bazı deyimler günlük yaşamda kullandığımız yiyeceklerle ilgilidir. Bu deyimlerin kökeni mutfak ve yemek kültüründen gelir.

Jorge is shopping at a clothing store.

Salesperson (Lily):
This jacket fits you really well! Would you like to size up and try a bigger size?

Customer (Jorge, confused):
Size up? You mean bigger size?

Lily (nodding):
Yes, exactly! "Size up" just means trying a larger size than the one you have.

Jorge (scratching his head):
Hmm… Size up? You mean, when I grow bigger?

Lily (laughing):
Haha, no, no! "Size up" just means trying a bigger jacket. Not growing, just a bigger size!

Jorge (still confused):
So… Size up means I wear bigger clothes, but I don’t grow taller?

Lily (smiling):
Yes! "Size up" means getting a bigger size of the same jacket. You don’t need to grow taller for that!

Jorge (nodding, still unsure):
Okay, okay, I try bigger size jacket. I think I understand!

Jorge (curious):
By the way, your English is really good. How do you speak so well?

Lily:
Well, I took speaking lessons with Teacher Smith on italki! She’s amazing for improving English.

Jorge:
Really? How I book  lesson with her?

Lily:
It’s super easy, just click on her profile on italki and book a speaking lesson!

Jorge:
Wow, easy? I book it now!

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今回は、ーわけではない、について話します。
意味は完全な否定ではなく、部分的な否定をする時に使います。

例文です。

・あそこのラーメンはおいしいけど、値段が安いわけではない。

・ドラマは見ないけど、嫌いなわけではない。

・よく司会を任されるけど、決して得意なわけではない。

・Podcastを聞くだけで日本語が話せるようになるわけではない。

・海外に住めば、英語が話せるわけではない。

こんな感じですね。

ーわけではない。僕もよく使います。日本語レッスンの時に、自分でよく使ってるなと思っています。

みなさんも口に出して練習したり、例文作ってみてくださいね。

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！
