おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私はいま、日本を出て海外旅行をしています。

駅(えき)やお店(みせ)にいると、
両替(りょうがえ)をしてほしいと、おねがいをする人がいます。

お店の人は、両替をしてあげます。

私は両替ができることに、すこしおどろきました。

なぜなら、日本では、お店で両替できません。

両替とは、お金をかえることです。

大きいお金から、小さいお金にかえます。

小さいお金から、大きいお金にかえます。

これを両替といいます。

「1万円(いちまんえん)を千円札(せんえんさつ)10枚に両替します。」

「すみません、これを両替してもらえますか？」

といいます。

じつは、日本では両替はことわられることがおおいです。

「両替してもらえますか？」

「申し訳ありませんが、両替はできません。」

ということです。

お店では、両替はできません。

お店によっては、大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)なところもあります。

でも、マクドナルドやスターバックスなど、
大きいところはたぶん、両替できません。

では、小さいお金がほしいときは、
どうしましょうか。

私はコンビニなどで、おかしや、コーヒーを買って、
大きいお金ではらいます。

ほかの国にいると、気づくことがたくさんあります。

みなさんの国ではどうですか？

お店で、両替はできますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれてだんだん、です。

また明日。

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

Around the world, "Kiwi" is a popular nickname for New Zealanders, and people from New Zealand will often call themselves "Kiwis" too. For most New Zealanders, the word Kiwi is a positive and friendly nickname — but where did it come from?

The name actually comes from the kiwi: a fluffy bird that has a round body, a long beak and cannot fly. It is only found in New Zealand.

While the bird was already used on New Zealand's stamps and money by the late 19th century, it was first used to represent New Zealand in 1904 — when it was used in a cartoon to represent the country's rugby team. After that, the bird was often shown in cartoons to represent the country.

During World War I, soldiers from New Zealand who were fighting in Europe wore an image of the bird on their uniforms. "Kiwi" became a popular nickname for these soldiers, and it continued to be used after the war.

So the people and the birds don't get mixed up, "Kiwi" as a nickname for New Zealanders is usually written with a capital K, while the bird's name is usually written with a small k: "kiwi."

The kiwi fruit, which is originally from China, is also named after the bird. In 1959, fruit exporters in New Zealand started calling it "kiwifruit" because its fluffy, brown skin looks similar to the fluffy bird.

However, it is important not to mix up Kiwi people, kiwi birds and the kiwi fruit! Although the fruit is usually just called "kiwi" in other parts of the world, New Zealanders only ever call it "kiwifruit."

Why Are New Zealanders Called Kiwis?

Esta es una semana en la que hay que hacer ejercicios de contención para que el ego no se suba por las nubes. Estoy recibiendo muy buenas noticias de estudiantes con los que estuve trabajando en su preparación del DELE durante la convocatoria de mayo y la verdad, es que todo han sido buenas o muy buenas noticias. 

Además, los estudiantes de fonética, sin excepción, están consiguiendo no solo mejorar la fonética, sino también aprender a monitorizarse y auto-corregirse logrando mejoras en la pronunciación ¡y en la autoestima!
Déjame añadir que no hay día que no reciba algún comentario post-clase que me “ponga por las nubes” y que casi me haga olvidar un pequeño gran detalle: Yo solo soy una guía... una brújula. El profesor eres tú.
