みなさんはドイツの９ユーロチケットを知っていますか？
これは、９ユーロで１ヶ月間ドイツ国内のバスや電車などの公共交通機関が乗り放題になるチケットです。今、ガソリン代が高くなっているので、ドイツ政府が車に乗らなくても人々が移動できるように始めました。6月から8月まで利用することができます。

私は先週このチケットを使ってデュッセルドルフに行って来ました。私の家からデュッセルドルフまでは片道4時間ほど掛かります。通常なら往復で50ユーロ以上掛かると思いますが、このチケットのおかげで、たった９ユーロで往復することができました。ちなみにこのチケットでは新幹線のような高速列車を利用することはできません。

ところで、みなさんは「乗り放題」の意味が分かりますか？「乗り放題」の意味は決められた金額を払えば、何回でも乗ることができるという意味です。つまり、１ヶ月乗り放題のチケットは９ユーロ払えば、１ヶ月何回でも乗ることができるチケットです。
みなさんは「食べ放題」に行ったことがありますか？これは食べたいだけ食べることができるという意味です。居酒屋やファミリーレストランには「飲み放題」のメニューがあります。これは飲みたいだけ飲むことができるという意味です。

ちなみに、「やりたい放題」という言葉もありますが、これは「他人のことを気にせずに自分のやりたいようにやっている」という意味です。「あなたはいつもやりたい放題だね」と言われたら、それは「あなたがわがままだ」という意味です。

みなさんは乗り放題や食べ放題、飲み放題などを利用したことがありますか？
それがお得だと思いましたか？
よかったら、私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

British Pronunciation Tips 

British Vowel Sound Masterclass: Lesson 10: Why do we say ‘work’ with errrr?

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
