♩～
こんにちは。Japanese Happy Life Podcast のゆりです。このPodcast は、日本語を勉強しているみなさんのためのPodcast です。
この音楽はきいたとこがありますか？これは日本の正月によく聞く音楽です。尺八（しゃくはち）と、琴（こと）という楽器を使って曲を弾いています。
今日は、日本の「正月」について話します。
”正月”とは、一年の中でも一番めでたい日で、一番特別な日です。１月１日から１月７日までを”正月”と呼びます。一年で一番日本らしいものが見ることができる日です。
たくさんの会社が１月１日から１月３日まで休みになります。
家族でゆっくり過ごす過程が多いです。正月は、汁物に”おもち”や”野菜”を入れた「雑煮」を食べます。入れる野菜やおもちにも意味があります。とてもおいしいです。みなさん、食べてみてください。
それから、正月になって初めて会う人には、特別な挨拶があります。
★「あけまして、おめでとうございます」★と言います。新しい年が始まりました。とてもめでたいです。「あけまして、おめでとうございます」を言います。
三井名さんも、2024年初めて会う人にはこの言葉を使ってください♪
では、今日はこれで終わります。最後まで聞いてくれてありがとうございます！！

Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
