Despertarse con el vuelo de una mosca

We Brits are famous for our politeness and diplomacy, but what do some of the things we say actually mean? This podcast takes a look at how we choose our words to say the complete opposite of what we are telling you; when and how to complain; and provides you with an understanding of how to answer the eternal question when asked: "How are you?"

Hello and welcome!

My name is Paulius and I work as a Lithuanian and English tutor online. I have created this podcast for anyone who is interested in improving Lithuanian. While this show is mostly aimed at intermediate learners, you can still benefit from it even if you are a beginner, because I’m going to be speaking relatively slowly and I will try to avoid using difficult words.

Even if you feel that the podcast is hard to follow at first, no worries, I promise with time, it’s going to get easier. Language comprehension takes time and the more input you get, the easier it becomes to interpret and recall the newly learnt information. For this reason, I suggest listening to this podcast every or every other day for at least 5 to 10 minutes a time, re-listening some of the same content every few weeks or months. Once you get used to the various sounds, rhythms, sentence patterns, and so on, you will naturally want to listen more.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Patreon. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.

#1 - Practice Lithuanian by Listening: New Lithuanian Podcast

こんにちは皆さん、お元気でしょうか。

このポッドキャストは日本語(にほんご)を勉強(べんきょう)している皆(みな)さんに向(む)けたポッドキャストです。皆(みな)さん、もうすぐ夏休(なつやす)みですね。私(わたし)は塾の先生をしていますが、夏休(なつやす)みに勉強(べんきょう)しかしていない、というのは少(すこ)しもったいないかな、と思(おも)います。長(なが)いお休(やす)みだからこそ、普段(ふだん)あまり遊(あそ)べていないお友達(ともだち)と遊(あそ)んだり、部活(ぶかつ)に熱中(ねっちゅう)して取(と)り組(く)んだり、少(すこ)しゆっくりのんびり休(やす)んだり、という日(ひ)があっても良(よ)いと思(おも)っています！

でも、夏休(なつやす)みは交通事故(こうつうじこ)が急増(きゅうぞう)するんですね。子(こ)たちが外(そと)に出ることも多(おお)くなります。だから交通(こうつう)ルールについて気(き)をしないといけないんですね。

今日(きょう)は日本(にほん)の交通安全(こうつうあんぜん)の基本(きほん)ルールとドライバーが守(まも)るべきルールについてお話(はな)したいと思(おも)います。日本(にほん)では、歩行者(ほこうしゃ)は右側通行(みぎがわつうこう)、自転車(じてんしゃ)や自動車(じどうしゃ)は左側通行(ひだりがわつうこう)することが基本(きほん)ルールで、歩行者(ほこうしゃ)の通行(つうこう)が優先(ゆうせん)されます。
交通事故(こうつうじこ)の防止(ぼうし)には、すべての市民(しみん)が交通事故(こうつうじこ)の危険性(きけんせい)を認識(にんしき)し、日頃(ひごろ)から交通(こうつう)ルールやマナーを遵守(じゅんしゅ)して行動(こうどう)することが重要(じゅうよう)です。運転するときは、ドライバーとしてのルールを知っていたほうがいいんじゃないでしょうか。
ドライバーの交通ルールとはなんでしょうか？
じゃ　行きましょう。ちょっと言葉が難しいと思いますが原稿と一緒に翻訳も添付致しますので、わからない方がぜひご覧ください。


１．子(こ)どもや高齢者(こうれいしゃ)などの近(ちか)くを通過(つうか)するときは、徐行(じょこう)するなど思(おも)いやりを持(も)った運転(うんてん)をしましょう。子(こ)どもやお年寄(としよ)り人の近くに行くとき、スピ(すぴ)ード(ど)を落(お)としてください。

２．飲酒運転(いんしゅうんてん)、速度超過運転(そくどちょうかうんてん)(スピードですね)、など危険(きけん)な運転(うんてん)は絶対(ぜったい)にしないようにしましょう。

３．運転中(うんてんちゅう)は、携帯電話(けいたいでんわ)などで通話(つうわ)したり、カ(か)ーナビ(なび)などを操作(そうさ)するなどの「ながら運転(うんてん)」、これはながら運転(うんてん)と呼(よ)びますね。運転しながらいろいろなことをすることですね。それはやめましょう。

４．自動車(じどうしゃ)を運転(うんてん)しているときは、右折(うせつ)、左折(させつ)、転回(てんかい)、徐行(じょこう)、停止(ていし)、後退(こうたい)、進路変更(しんろへんこう)の際(さい)は合図(あいず)をしなければなりません。合図することは大切ですね。

５．長時間運転(ちょうじかんうんてん)するときには、必(かなら)ず休憩(きゅうけい)するなどして居眠(いねむ)り・過労運転(かろううんてん)の防止(ぼうし)に努(つと)めましょう。長い時間運転するとき、眠くなりますね。その時少し休みましょう。

じゃ、皆(みな)さん、今日(きょう)はここまでです。交通(こうつう)ル(る)ール(る)を守(まも)りながら、夏休(なつやす)みを楽(たの)しみましょう。ありがとうございました。

日本の交通ルールについて少し学びましょう


“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.

University Students Interested in Stress-Reducing Cats
While a number of universities offer students opportunities to play with dogs as a way to reduce stress, little is known about whether cats could help in the same way.

So researchers from the US and Belgium surveyed more than 1,400 students and staff from 19 Belgian universities to see how interested they would be in on-campus cat visiting programs.

Participants were asked seven questions about a possible cat program, including whether they would like to have a cat on campus, if they would find it relaxing, whether they would visit the cat, and whether they would recommend a cat program to other universities. They gave each idea a score out of five.

The average total score was 3.8 in favor of a campus cat.

The researchers found that the people with the most positive feelings about a cat program were women, cat owners, people who were more emotional, and — perhaps surprisingly — people who were interested in dog programs.

The study authors said that previous research has shown that emotional people are more likely to have strong relationships with animals.

However, dog owners, as well as people who were afraid of or allergic to cats, were found to be less interested in a cat program. Some also worried that having a cat on campus would be risky.

According to the researchers, the aim of the study was to find more ways to help people feel less stressed.

They believe cats can help, since including both cats and dogs in these stress-reducing programs could encourage more people to take part, and cats would need less training than dogs to help.
