Episode 40. 〜てしまう→ちゃう

A friend of mine, Sam, runs an amateur drama group. They put on three or four plays a year in a small local theatre. Sam directs all of them, sometimes takes a leading role and even writes some of the plays they perform as well. I don't do much acting myself, but I once played a servant in a comedy. Most of the time I help with costume and stage design, but sometimes I have a small role in one of the plays. We have a lot of fun.

The Adventures of Odyssea: Ch 3.1 - Hadessa

I left Canada to teach English in the Czech Republic in 1995. There are three chapters that cover my experience there which include meeting my first wife. Ten years later, I was in India on a new teaching job getting divorced. I met and dated Marta.

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。

いま、日本では、東京(とうきょう)にひっこす人が増(ふ)えています。

そんなニュースをみました。

東京にひっこす人が増えています。

東京は人気なんですね。

ひっこしをする、生活する場所をかえることです。

たとえば、

"この4月から東京へひっこしをします。
東京の大学に通います。"

"去年(きょねん)、
大阪(おおさか)から神戸(こうべ)へ、
仕事(しごと)のために、ひっこしをしました。"

と言います。

ニュースにもどります。

きょねんの一年間で、

東京から、ひっこしをした人は、
つまり出て行った人は、
約38万人でした。

東京に、ひっこしてきた人は、
つまり入ってきた人は、
約45万人でした。

たくさんの人がうごいています。

でも、ひっこしをしてきた人の方が多いですね。
日本でいちばん人口(じんこう)が多いのが東京都(とうきょうと)です。
2番目(にばんめ)はどこか知っていますか？


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！
