はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの17回目です。だんだん暖かくなってきましたね。日中はセーターが少し暑く感じます。大阪は毎日晴れの日が続いています。空には雲が一つもなくて、いい天気です。そういえば先日、このポッドキャストをYoutubeにもアップロードしました。ぜひチェックしてみてください。https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HUNV-vylkRHXP_bKJZeYQ

Hi, This is the podcast episode 18. It’s getting warmer and warmer. Jumpers feel a bit hot during the day. Osaka has been sunny every day. There is not a single cloud in the sky, it’s a beautiful day. Speaking of which, I recently uploaded this podcast to Youtube as well. Please check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HUNV-vylkRHXP_bKJZeYQ

私の家の近くには小学校があるので、近所の道には子供がたくさん歩いています。日本の小学生は、歩いて学校に通います。家から学校までのルートは「通学路」といいます。通学路は学校が決めます。いちばん人通りが多く、安全なルートです。通学路には、誘拐や寄り道がないように、大人が立っていることもあります。「誘拐」とは、人をどこかに連れて行く犯罪です。「寄り道」とは、どこかに行く途中で、違う場所に行くことです。

There is a primary school near my house, so there are many children walking on the neighbourhood streets. Japanese primary school children walk to school. The route from home to school is called a ‘Tsuugakuro’ (school route). Tsuugakuro is decided by the school. It is the busiest and safest route. Adults may stand on Tsuugakuro to prevent Yuukai and Yorimichi. ‘Yuukai’ (kidnapping) is a crime where a person is taken somewhere. ‘Yorimichi’ (detour, dropping in on the way) is going somewhere different on the way to somewhere else.

今日の午後は筋トレをしました。「筋トレ」とは「筋力トレーニング」の略で、体を強くするための運動のことです。私はジムに行きません。家で筋トレを続けています。私が筋トレを始めたのは、４年ぐらい前です。フリーランスになって、外に出る機会が減ったので、運動をすることにしました。

This afternoon we did Kintore. ‘Kintore’ (strength training) is short for Kinryoku (muscle strength) Tore-ningu (training)’, an exercise to strengthen the body. I don’t go to the gym. I continue to strength train at home. I started Kintore about four years ago. When I became a freelancer I decided to exercise because I didn’t get out as often.

Japanese Lessons with Mayuna

17. 通学路と筋トレ

Welcome to our first lesson! Today, we’re starting with the basics of sentence structure. Every sentence in English has three key parts: a subject, a verb, and an object. Let’s dive into what each part means and how they work together.

The subject is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about. The verb shows the action or state of being. The object receives the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "I eat apples," "I" is the subject, "eat" is the verb, and "apples" is the object.

Let’s look at some more examples. "She reads books." Here, "she" is the subject, "reads" is the verb, and "books" is the object. Another example is, "They play soccer." In this sentence, "they" is the subject, "play" is the verb, and "soccer" is the object.

Now, let’s practice together. Repeat after me: "I eat apples." Great! Now let’s try another one: "I watch TV." Excellent! Next, we’ll create some sentences together. I’ll say, "I [verb] [object]," and you can choose your own verb and object to complete the sentence. For example, "I see flowers," or "I like pizza."

Let’s make our practice a bit more creative. Think about activities you do every day. For instance, "I drink coffee," or "I read the newspaper." You could also say, "I walk to school," or "I write emails." Can you add a few more examples of things you do regularly? Practice saying them aloud to build confidence in using the Subject + Verb + Object structure. Try to include activities from different parts of your day, like morning routines, work tasks, or evening hobbies. Think about what you do when you wake up, such as "I brush my teeth," or "I make the bed." Then consider what you might do later, like "I cook dinner," or "I watch TV before bed."
