You might know some basic greetings in Japanese, like Arigato. But do you know the original meaning or where the word comes from? I explain about original meaning of greeting in Japanese.

1. Arigato (Thank you)
2.Ohayo, Ohayogozaimasu (Good morning)
3.Konnichiwa (Hello)
4.Konbanwa (Good evening)
5.Oyasumi, Oyasuminasai (Good night)

Akari Talks Japan

Greetings in Japanese. Original meaning inside.

How many words do you know?  500?  1000?  10000?  Does it even matter?  You’re learning a language…you just want to be able to speak.  Well, if that’s the case, you’re going to need to know words.  And let’s be real, if you’re not having fluent conversations, it probably has nothing to do with you not understanding English grammar.  Besides, native English speakers use very simple grammar in daily conversations.  More often than not, not being fluent is caused by the lack of words in that brain of yours.  But not to worry, this problem is fixable.

Modern language learning enthusiasts…you know, these Internet Polyglots, talk a lot about word frequency and this idea of your first 1000 words.  Let’s talk a little about where that comes from.

Nếu bạn muốn thử 1 món ăn dễ ăn, dễ tìm thì có lẽ bánh mì là sự lựa chon của bạn. Không đâu ở Việt Nam mà bánh mì lại đa dạng như vậy.

A daily reading practice for you for today!

Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.'

Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm clock so I have to,' she says. 'I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.'

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日も北海道からとっています。


さて、今日は祇園祭(ぎおんまつり)について。
聞いたことがりますか？

日本では、昔からいろんな祭り(festival)があります。
地元(じもと)の祭りや大きな祭りがあります。

今日は日本三大祭りの１つ、祇園祭について話します。
祇園祭とは、夏に京都で行われる祭りのことです。
7月の1ヶ月でいくつかの行事があります。


祇園祭の起源(きげん＝roots)は平安時代初期(へいあんじだいしょき)にさかのぼります。その時代は、疫病(えきびょう＝ひろがる病気)が流行(りゅうこう)していました。

人々は、これを死んだ人たちの祟り(たたり)だと考えました。ですので、祟りをしずめるために、まちをあるく「御霊会〔ごりょうえ〕」をはじめました。

これが祇園祭のはじまりです。

祇園祭のシンボルは山車〔だし〕という大きなものです。
屋根に長い槍(やり)を持ち、2階にはお囃子(おはやし)をするひとたちが乗っています。またひとがかつぐようなものもあります。

先日、はじめて、じっくりと祇園祭を見ました。
1ヶ月の間の最後の行事でしたが、人がたくさん見にきていて、とても熱気がありました。そして、伝統的(でんとうてき)な雰囲気(ふんいき)がありました。

みなさんの国では、伝統的な祭りはありますか？
ぜひ、わたしのレッスンでお話しましょう！

ではまた！
