①少女心，大概就是指每个女人还是少女的时候，看世界和看自己的心性：
简单、纯洁、孩子气、童话心、五颜六色的想象力以及对爱的美好憧憬。
如此，少女心实在是一种值得在心里永久保存的心境。
②很多时候，其实生活需要的，也就是一个一笑解千愁的微笑。
女人在任何时候都可以笑出来不是一件易事，需要一颗强大的内心。
而强大的内心，是女汉子最典型的特质。
想想看，你要不要做一个女汉子？
③穿合体的衣，说得体的话，内心千回百转的痛不掩你淡淡的微笑。
这很不容易，是烟火女英雄的最高境界。

你认为你是哪种女人呢，为什么？

骑虎难下

皆さん、お元気でしょうか。
ミア先生です。今日は　は　英語で　「がすき　です」　と　言う　文法について　お話ししたいと思います。
HELLO EVERYONE, How are you? Are you guys doing well? It’s me your Japanese teacher Mia.
So today we are going to learn about 「GA SUKI DESU」 Grammar. This is a JLPT N5 grammar point and we use this to say “I like something”.  

The structure or the word order of this grammar is pretty easy. You just need to say the noun and “ga suki desu” after that.
For example,  if you want to say “I like Apple”, 
we need to say I first, then Apple and Ga suki desu. Okay, let’s do this.
•	We know how to say I right, I is わたし(watashi)　in Japanese. 
•	And don’t forget は　particle,we need to say は（wa) particle after the subject of the sentence. 
•	So we say わたし　は　（Watashi wa） ,
•	and then we have to say apple ( apple is りんご　(ringo)　in Japanese)
•	and just say がすき　ですga suki desu 。
So It should beわたし　は　りんご　が　すきです。( watashi war ringo ga suki desu. )
See it’s that easy my friends. Okay now let’s say “I like cars”
Now we know I is わたし　は　、　and for car, we say くるま　
Okay, now it’s your chance to say the sentence. I am going to give you a few seconds.
はい、わたし　は　くるま　が　すき　です。That’s right.
Let’s do one more sentence, He likes Money.
He is かれ
Money is おかね
So how do we say “he likes money“　it’s かれ　は　おかね　が　すきです。(kare wa okane ga suki desu)
Perfect, Okay then this is a very simple grammar friends, I hope you learned it really well. Keep studying Japanese. I’ll meet you with another lesson. じゃ　がんばってね。。BYE BYE

挨拶（あいさつ）
英語: "greeting"
スペイン語: "saludo"
ドイツ語: "Begrüßung"
タイ語: "การทักทาย"

質問（しつもん）
英語: "question"
スペイン語: "pregunta"
ドイツ語: "Frage"
タイ語: "คำถาม"

誘（さそ）う
英語: "to invite"
スペイン語: "invitar"
ドイツ語: "einladen"
タイ語: "ชวน/เชิญ"

みなさんの国（くに）でどんなあいさつをしますか？
日本で「ひさしぶり！げんきだった？」や「おお！」「やっほー！」などと言ったりします。
私はタイ語を勉強しています。タイ人はよく「もうごはん食べた？」とききます。日本人がその質問（しつもん）をされたら、「いっしょにごはんをたべませんか？」とさそわれているとおもいます。あいさつのちがいはおもしろいですね。
