第五课 lesson 5

Algunos idiomas como el ESPAÑOL tienen varios acentos dependiendo el país y/o la región donde se hablan. Super interesante saber más de esto, y aprender a entender al menos 2 o 3 de ellos. Te amplio la info en el audio, vamos!

Today's content is brief, but there is a phrase in "Minna no Nihongo" that means "Nice to meet you," which is "どうぞよろしく" . However, I think it's not used very often. In the last 20 years, I've only heard this phrase from Japanese learners. A more natural way to say it is "よろしくおねがいします" , and a more polite version would be "どうぞ、よろしく おねがいします" .

As for my "Minna no Nihongo" lesson course, I recently created a lot of audio homework. I recommend it for those who want to start studying Japanese. Please give it a try.

Alright, everyone, keep up the good work with your Japanese. See you again!

みんなの日本語Chapter One "どうぞ よろしく”

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道、千歳市の気温は15℃ぐらいですが、とても寒く感じます。

今日は、日本語のレッスンでおもしろい話をしていたので、紹介しますね。

日本語には、食べる時の食感の表現がいくつかあります。
その中の、カリカリとサクサクの違いについて話していました。どんな違いがあるかわかりますか？

僕のイメージでは、
カリカリは揚げ物の食感に使うことが多いですね。
少しだけ固いものを食べる時に使います。
例えば、カリカリのベーコンとか、アーモンドなどにも使いますね。

続いて、サクサクです。
これは、カリカリよりももう少し柔らかいイメージです。
例えば、天ぷらやトンカツなど、軽い食感のものの時に使います。

人によって少し違うかもしれませんが、そんな感じですね。
また他の言葉も取り上げてみようと思います。

ということで、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！
