はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン2の6回目です。2023年明けましておめでとうございます。１月１日の午前中、家の周りを散歩しました。去年の正月はとても静かでしたが、今年の正月はなんだか賑やかでした。家の周りの公園やカフェやレストランに外国人観光客がたくさんいたからです。日本では家や近所で正月を過ごす人が多いですが、他の国では海外旅行をする人が多いですね。私も海外旅行に行きたいですが、今の航空券の値段が高すぎて驚いています。

Hello. This is episode 6 of season 2 of my podcast. Happy New Year! I hope you all have a wonderful 2023. On the morning of 1 January, I took a walk around my neighbourhood. Last New Year's Day was very quiet, but this New Year's Day was somewhat lively. This is because there were many foreign tourists in the parks, cafés and restaurants nearby my house. In Japan, many people spend New Year's at home or in their neighbourhood, but in other countries, many people travel abroad. I would like to travel abroad too, but I am surprised at how expensive airline tickets are nowadays.

今日は日本語のアクセントについてお話ししたいと思います。例えば日本語では「箸」と「橋」の例が有名です。この二つの単語は「は」と「し」で出来ていますから、ひらがなで書くと全く同じです。読み方で意味の違いを表現します。「箸」のように「は」を「し」よりも高いピッチで発音すると、chopsticksの意味になります。もう一度発音します「箸」。そして、「橋」のように「は」を「し」よりも低いピッチで発音すると、bridgeの意味になります。もう一度発音します「橋」。箸を使って、寿司を食べます。ロンドンブリッジは有名な橋です

Today I would like to talk about pitch accent in Japanese. For example, the well-known examples in Japanese are ‘Hashi' (chopsticks) and ‘Hashi' (bridge). These two words are made up of 'ha' and 'shi', so when written in hiragana they are exactly the same. The way they are pronounced expresses the difference in meaning. If the 'ha' is pronounced with a higher pitch than the 'shi', as in 'Hashi', it means 'chopsticks'. Pronounce it again ‘Hashi' (chopsticks). And if you pronounce the 'ha' lower in pitch than the 'shi', as in 'Hashi', it means ‘bridge’. Pronounce it again, ‘Hashi' (bridge). Use ‘Hashi' (chopsticks) to eat sushi. London Bridge is a famous ‘Hashi' (bridge).

I wrote this crazy anecdote that I lived with my friend Nicolas. In order not to make it longer than it already is, I divided it into 2 parts. This 1st one is about how we went on vacation without knowing that we were not going to return to our destination, thanks to the coronavirus. Cancelled tickets, chaotic airports, and an exotic country .
In the 2nd: how we got a ticket to get out of there, how they didn't want to put us up anywhere and how I ended up in Ezeiza (Argentina's main airport) on top of a bus with people I didn't know.

Palavras do inglês no Português

Este texto está diseñado como una herramienta para ejercitar nuestra mente en el uso del subjuntivo, más que para enfocarnos en estructuras gramaticales específicas. A través de opiniones, deseos y valoraciones, exploraremos cómo se usa el subjuntivo en un contexto real y significativo. El contenido refleja la visión personal de una persona sobre el concepto de éxito hoy en día, y no pretende imponer una verdad absoluta. Justamente, uno de los usos del subjuntivo es expresar puntos de vista personales, con los que podemos estar de acuerdo o no. Lo importante aquí es abrir una conversación y reflexionar.
