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。

きのうは、
東京都(とうきょう)、
神奈川県(かながわ)、
大阪府(おおさかふ)の人口の話をしましたね。

ところで、
この東京都の「都」
神奈川県の「県」
大阪府の「府」

と、けん、ふ、とちがうことばですね。

英語では、
Tokyo,
Kanagawa Prefecture,
Osaka prefectureと言います。

でも、日本ではprefectureは県(けん)や(府)といいます。

たとえば、
Hiroshima prefectureは、広島県(ひろしまけん)
Fukuoka prefectureは福岡県(ふくおかけん)
といいます。

京都と大阪だけ、とくべつです。

"県"ではなく"府"といいます。

京都府(きょうとふ)、大阪府(おおさかふ)ですね。

なぜ県や府があるのでしょうか？

この話はつづきます！

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！

66. 県？府？/Prefectureは県、府、になる。

En el episodio de hoy vemos un uso del subjuntivo condicional, pero no la típica frase si...si, sino que usaremos el nexo de subjuntivo "a condición de que + subjuntivo".

In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

-------

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.

4. How we speak with others & why we should talk to ourselves

hi, in this podcast I'll be touching a lot of topics at once. It was totally unplanned as I wanted to focus on IELTS but I was inspired to support you in this:

Career development, management, leadership, headquarters, customer service, leadership, communication, self-development, hiring,professional growth, comfort zone, challenges, goals, outcomes, standards, effectiveness, soft skills, attitude.

Let me know how I can be of future assistance to you!
