Beyond Borders: Immersing in Syrian Culture

Famous Syrian Series

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.

Spotify Users Look Back on Year of Listening Habits

こんにちは、Atsushiです。
昨日、おとといとポッドキャストを上げれなかったので、今日は3つ一気に上げますね！


今日はもしかしたら発音がむずかしいと感じている人もいるかもしれない、タ行とダ行の発音について、話します。

日本人にとっては、英語の発音では、
r.l.θ.ð.f.vなど、もともとないもので、とてもむずかしいと言われます。他にもたくさんあります。

それと同じように、日本語の発音が、他の国ではないものもあります。さらに、音が違っても意味を区別しない、わけない国もあります。たとえば、[t]は無声音、[d]は有声音と言います。中国語や韓国語ではこの違いで意味を区別しないようです。ですので、聞き分けたり発音したりすることが難しいようです。

ということで、今回はタ行とダ行の練習をしてみましょう！

タチツテト
ダヂヅデド
どうですか？

次は、
タダ
チヂ
ツヅ
テデ
トド

タンス
ダンス

タイヤ
ダイヤ

たから
だから

たいがく
だいがく


どうですか？簡単ですか？むずかしいですか？
タ行とダ行に変わると意味が変わります。
だいたいはわかってもらえると思いますが、ぜひ、練習してみましょう！

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！
