In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.

***For English learners! – Detailed vocabulary lesson begins at 31:56***

Why national soccer teams DON'T use the colors of their flag?

Please let me know if you have any requests of words or phrases that you wish you’ll be able to say in casual Japanese so I’ll make an episode about it!🙌
In this episode, I’m gonna let you know how to say  “I didn’t know that you is the same age as me”  in the way not like Japanese textbooks tell you but how Japanese people actually talk. 
Thank you very much for listening to this podcast😁

Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

🎌Useful Japanese phrase | “Is that tasty?” 

Today I'm talking about evening shower, which we call it "Yuudachi".
It is heavy rain with thunder. It suddenly comes and suprises us.
I'll try to express yuudachi by its sounds.  Please listen to today's podcast! Thank you!

回　ポッドキャストをアップしてから　ちょっとご無沙汰してしまいました。
みなさん、お元気でしたか？
夏休みは　どこかに旅行にいきましたか？

私は特にどこかに行くということもありませんでした。
したことといえば、朝５時半からのウオーキングとラジオ体操。それから　週１，２回の水泳ぐらいです。少しは運動不足を解消できたのではないかと思います。

ところで、私の住んでいる関西エリアでは　お盆を過ぎてから、毎日のように夕立がありました。今日が８月２７日ですから、かれこれ１週間ほど　毎日です。
夕立とは　夕方に降る雨のことです。
だいたい夏の夕方に、雷とともに降り出す雨です。
どんな感じかというと、まず、空に黒く分厚い雲があらわれ、小さくごろごろごろごろと雷の音が聞こえ始めます。その雷の音が少しずつ近づき、だんだん音が大きくなってきます。
しばらく、ごろごろと音が続いた後に、ポツ、ポツっと小さな雨粒が　降ってきます。
このぐらいの間に屋根があるところに　逃げなければいけません。
そして、５分もすると、ザアーっといっきに　シャワーを全開にしたように雨が降り出します。
そして、ピカっと空が光ったかと思うと、ものすごい大きな音の雷が　バリバリバリ　とすぐ近くで鳴ったりします。正直、めちゃくちゃ怖いです。
テレビをつけていると、雷の影響を受けて　映像がぐにゃぐにゃと変にゆがんだりすることもあります。
では、夕立を音で最初から表現します。
ごろごろ　ごろごろ
ポツ　ポツ　　　　ポツ　ポツ
ごろごろごろごろごろ
ポツポツポツポツポ
ぴかっ！
ごろごろ！
ザアー
ぴか！
バリバリバリバリ
ざあー！！！！
夕立の音でした。みなさんも急な雨と雷には気を付けてくださいね。　



やさしい日本語（にほんご）

夕立（ゆうだち）evening shower

日本人なら　誰でも　知っている　ラジオ体操について　話します。　私たち日本人は　子どものころから　ラジオ体操に慣れ親しんできました。子どものころ、どのように　ラジオ体操をしていたか、そして　今は？　さらに、ラジオ体操が　いつから放送されているかについて　お話しします。
I'm talking about the radio calisthenics that every Japanese knows. We have been used to it since we were children. How did we do it when at that time...and how are we doing now...? In addition, I'm talking about when it started being broadcast. Thank you.
