أَمْس فِي الصَّبَّاح خَالِد اِسْتَيْقَظَ بَاكِراً, ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دوشاً وَلَبِسَ مَلاَبِسَهُ.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَضَّرَ الْفَطُور وَثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الَى الْعَمَل. 
بَعْدَ الْعَمَل رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْر.
فِي الْمَساء خَالِد أَكَلَ الْغَذَاء مَعَ صَدِيقَة فِي مَطْعَم, 
ثُمَّ ٍسَاقَ بِسَيَّارَتِهِ اِلَى الْجِيم, وَبَعْدَ الْجِيم رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ.
فِي اللَّيْل شَاهَدَ التِّلِفِزْيُون قَلِيلاً مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ. 
ثُمَّ  أَكَلَ الْعَشَاء فِي الْبَيْت وَأَخِيراً نَامَ مُتَأُخِّراً.

فِي نِهَايَة الْأُسْبُوع الْمَاضِي اِسْتَيْقَظْتُ مُتَأَخِراً وَأَخَذتُ دُوشاً.
ثُمَّ فَطَرتُ قَهْوَة بِالْحَلِيب وَخُبْز بِالزُّبْدة وَالْعَسَل.
عِنْدَ الظُّهْر خَرَجْتُ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ وَذَهَبْتُ مَشِياً / بِالدَّراجَة / بالسَّيَّارَة /
 بالقِطَار / بالدَّرَّاجَة النَّارِيَّة اِلى الحَديقَة.
ثُمَّ فِي الْمَساَء اِلْتَقَيْتُ بِصَدِيق وَشَرِبْنَا شَاياً.
فِي اللَّيْل أَوَّلاً أَخَذتُ دُوشاً, ثاَنِياً شَاهَدْتُ التِّلِفِزْيُون, ثَالِثاً أَكَلْتُ الْعَشَاء وَأَخِيراً نِمْتُ مُتَأَخِّراً.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. I'm an italki American English tutor. Today I want to talk about technical aids for learning languages. And specifically, I want to talk about headphones. So one of the most important things for improving your fluency in any foreign language is to listen to content in that target language.
So for me, I'm currently studying Spanish and trying to maintain my Chinese, so I don't forget it. So what I like to do every day is listen to podcasts. Now you can listen while you're doing other activities like washing your clothes or washing the dishes or exercising at the gym. You can listen to podcasts while you're on the treadmill. 

But the problem is headphones can smash your ears and make your ears uncomfortable. So what I like to do is use bone conduction headphones or earphones. It's a type of headphone that doesn't actually cover your ear canal. It goes in front of your ear and kind of sits on your face. Um, kind of behind your sideburns if you're a man, right in front of your ear and the sound transmits a vibration that goes into your skull and into your ear and your brain can hear the sound just from the vibrations going through your bones. And so they are called bone conduction headphones. I swear by them. And I use them every day. I have a pair which is charged with a USB C port.

So there are many different kinds of options on the market, but I like the ones that use a USB C port to charge them because I don't have to worry about losing the appropriate proprietary charging cord. Instead, I can just use any USB C charging cord to power up the headphones. 

So another advantage of using bone conduction headphones is that while you're wearing them, you can hear sounds outside of the content that you're listening to.
So for example, say, I'm running, I'm jogging and listening to my podcast which is in Chinese while I'm jogging. ( Text limit )

SWE15 Bone conduction headphones for learning languages

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は23℃です。

天気が良いので少しだけ暑く感じます。

今日はコロケーションについて。
コロケーションという言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
日本語訳で調べると連語れんご、と出てきますが、
要は言葉の自然な組み合わせのことを言います。

英語だと、
fast food をquick foodとは言いませんね。
wash laundryではなく、do laundry 
strong rainではなく、heavy rain 
など言うようです。

日本語はというと、
例えば、
ご飯を食べる
飯を食う

と言いますが、これを
ご飯を食う
とか
飯を食べる
とはほとんど言いません。

知らない間に覚えたものだと、
かぜをひく
傘をさす

なども同じコロケーションですね。
かぜになる
かさをする
間違ってはいませんが、もしかすると、日本人は少し違和感があるかもしれません。

他にも、
約束をやぶる
影響を与える、及ばす
攻撃を受ける

などがあります。

私のpodcastの26で服を着る表現について話しましたが、
これもコロケーションの１つです。
興味がわく、あ、これもコロケーションですね。
興味が出る、とか興味が上がる、とは言いません。

興味がわいた方は、ぜひ26のpodcastも聴いてきてください！

ということで今日も最後まで聴いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
