Hello! Welcome to Shay's Language Hub!

In this week's very first episode, it's my pleasure to read the first few pages of Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone with you. 

If you have the book, you can follow along as I read or simply challenge yourself by listening only. 

Send me questions if you've got any, otherwise, enjoy!

O Natal no Brasil

こんにちは！日本語ポッドキャストへようこそ。
今日のテーマは「夏の終わりのあいさつ」です。

日本では、季節のあいさつをとても大切にします。
たとえば、夏の終わりにはこんな表現を使います。

ひとつめは――
「まだまだ暑いですね」
これは、夏の終わりでも気温が高いときによく使います。

ふたつめは――
「朝と夜は少し涼しくなりましたね」
これは、だんだん秋に近づいている感じを伝えます。

そして、もうひとつ。
「季節の変わり目ですから、体調に気をつけてください」
これはとても丁寧で、メールやメッセージによく使います。

日本人は、季節と体の調子を結びつけて話すことが多いです。
だから、あいさつの中に「健康に気をつけてください」という言葉がよく入ります。

では、いっしょに練習してみましょう。
リピートしてください。

まだまだ暑いですね。

朝と夜は少し涼しくなりましたね。

季節の変わり目ですから、体調に気をつけてください。

今日のフレーズを使えば、友だちや先生、仕事の同僚とも自然に会話ができます。

それでは、今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。
また次回お会いしましょう！

たのしくにほんごポッドキャスト！

🍂季節の挨拶　Greetings

A letra "L" terá som de "u" em dois casos.
Primeiro caso: sempre que estiver no final das palavras:
Exemplos: Brasil (som: Brasiu); jornal (jornau)

Segundo caso: sempre que estiver no final de uma sílaba e em seguida houver uma consoante:
Exemplos: calma divisão silábica: cal-ma (som: cauma) ; olfato (som: oufato); filme (fiume)
Esta segunda regra parece mais complicada, mas nao é. Considere que letra "L" seguida de consoante tem som de "u", esqueça a parte de divisão silábica se parecer mais fácil. :)

Obrigada por ter me acompanhado até aqui! Conversamos no próximo episódio!

#2 Talk About Amharic

В первом выпуске представлю мой проект.

Итальянский язык с Андрюша

Introduzione (представление проекта)

Leonard: I couldn't agree more!
Alisha: Wait, you don't agree with me?
L: No, I said, I couldn't agree more. That means I completely agree with you.
A: What? Then why did you say you couldn't agree with me!

I think we can all relate with Alisha. There are so many indirect ways of saying something so simple and direct. We use such structures to add nuance to our meaning!

But it 'can' be confusing for a language learner.

In this series on the Confusing Structures in the English Language, we will discuss these very structures so that the next time Leonard says 'he couldn't agree more,' or 'he couldn't care less' or some such phrase, you'd know exactly what he is saying.
