Mere paas Maa Hai, I have my mother
Let’s break down this iconic dialogue:

मेरे पास (Mere paas): ‘I have’ or ‘I possess.’

मेरे (Mere): My.
पास (Paas): With or near.
माँ (Maa): ‘Mother.’ This is a simple yet profound term for ‘mother’ in Hindi.
है (Hai): ‘Is’ — This is the present tense form of the verb ‘to be,’ used here to indicate possession or existence.

日本語を知らなくても、「manga」「judo」「sushi」「tsunami」などの言葉を知っている人は多いと思います。「wabi わび」はどうでしょうか。「sabi さび」と一緒（いっしょ）に「わびさび」と言われることが多いですね。日本人が大事にしている価値観（かちかん sence of values ）のひとつです。とか何とか言いながら、実は100％日本人の私でさえ、よくわかんなかったんですよ。ウィキペディア以上（いじょう）に説明（せつめい）できるとは思いませんでした。でもね、この間、紅葉（こうよう／もみじ）見にいって、すこーしわかったような気がしたので、その経験（けいけん experience )をお話したいと思います。そして次回は「さび」へと続（つづ）きます。

In this episode, we dive into IELTS Speaking Part 3, the final and most challenging part of the speaking test.

Unlike the earlier sections, Part 3 requires you to discuss more abstract ideas, express opinions, and analyze topics in greater depth. Many students struggle here because the questions go beyond personal experiences and focus on broader issues such as society, education, and trends.

In this episode, you will learn:

The format and expectations of Speaking Part 3

How to develop longer, more detailed answers

A simple structure to organize your ideas clearly

How to support your opinion with reasons and examples

Useful strategies to avoid short or repetitive answers

Common mistakes that lower your score
You will also hear model answers with clear explanations to help you understand how to respond like a Band 7+ candidate.

By the end of this episode, you will feel more confident handling complex questions and expressing your ideas in a natural, fluent, and well-structured way.

Follow the series to continue improving your IELTS speaking skills step by step 🚀

BTSの日本語曲「Film out」の歌詞を東北地方の方言へ変換！「すごく」ってどう表すの？Learning Tohoku dialect

Hello everyone. Today, I would like to talk about one important thing you should know when starting to study Japanese: the difference in the particle "が" (ga).

There are actually two types of "が" that even Japanese people may not notice: "がga" and "がnga." Words that start with "が," such as "がっこう" (school), "ガイド" (guide), "がいこく" (foreign country), and "がん" (cancer), are almost 100% "がga."

However, the particle "が" is basically "がnga."

"わたしが ようへです。" (Watashi ga Youhei desu. I`m Yohei)
"ネコがいます。" (Neko ga imasu. There is a cat )
"それが わたしのペンです。" (Sore ga watashi no pen desu. That is my pen )
If you try to read these as "がga," the pronunciation can be a bit difficult. You don't need to memorize this now, but when emphasizing, you can also pronounce the particle as "がga," as in "あのひと じゃありません、わたしが ようへいです。" (Ano hito janai, watashi ga Youhei desu.　Not that person, I`M Yohei)
Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!
