Today we have two idioms that both mean the same thing. They mean to ignore someone while they're doing something wrong, or maybe just to pretend not to notice. They are to "turn a blind eye" and to "look the other way". I hope you enjoy today's short episode!

今天的播客是关于一些和天气有关的表达的，天气是一个很适合闲聊的话题。那么我们就一起来看看，除了“今天很冷”或者“今天很热”这些基础实用的表达以外，我们还能如何像母语者一样地道地描述天气呢？

(全中文) 除了冷、热，你还能怎么描述天气

Hello. Today, I will talk a little about the way to say "20 years old" that comes up in the first Chapter of Minna no Nihongo.
At 20 years old, it’s fine to say “にじゅっさい” (nijussai), but there’s also another way to say it: “はたち” (hatachi).　Japanese counters can be challenging to remember, as they are not “いちさい” (ichisai) but rather “いっさい” (issai), and not “しちさい” (shichisai) but “ななさい” (nanasai). Occasionally, there are completely different expressions, like for 20 years old. It can be difficult, but let’s do your best to memorize them.

As for “はたち,” in Lesson 5, the date “20th”  is also expressed as “はつか.” Perhaps ancient Japanese people used the character “は” to mean 20. Connecting these two ideas might make it a bit easier to remember. Keep up the good work!

Now, a little update regarding my course: I have launched a new Minna no Nihongo course. The content is exactly the same, but it can be taken with two people. It’s also possible with three or more, but in that case, the lesson fee will change a little bit.
Of course, just like the regular Minna no Nihongo course, there will be plenty of homework. If anyone would like to take it with a friend, please give it a try!

Alright, everyone, keep studying hard!
