Paul is chatting with Laura again. This time he is not so clumsy. He invites her to his housewarming party, and she accepts the invitation. But Paul is unsure: Should he also invite Tim? Maybe Anna wouldn't like that ...
<h4>Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?</h4>
They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

昨日は大寒波！について話しました。
何それ？初めて聞いた！という方は189のPodcastを聞いてください。

今日は走りたいけど走れない！について話します。
今、日本ではとても寒い日が続いています。

北海道も雪が降るので、雪がよく積もります。
雪が積もると、いろんな問題があります。
僕にとって、その1つは、ランニングすることが難しくなることです。雪が積もっていると走りにくいです。走ろうと思えば走れます。ですが、結構大変です。滑らないように気にするので、足元を見ながら走ることが多くなります。それから、あまり速いスピードで走れません。それから、めちゃくちゃ寒いです。今日、ここ千歳は-13℃です。

そんな感じで、走りにくい問題がいくつもあります。
それで、大阪から帰ってきて、まだ1度も走れていません。
これはこれで結構ストレスになります。
何か解決策が必要です。

ということで、次のPodcastでは、その解決策について話そうと思います。

みなさんはどんな運動をしていますか？
ぜひそんな話をしましょう！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
