Hi everyone, in this episode I talk about what kind of person I am. A morning person or a night person. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments :)

What's Your Opinion?

Morning or Night?

When you attend a business meeting, you might want: 
•	to make a suggestion
•	to ask if people agree with your suggestion
•	to make alternative suggestions
•	to brainstorm ideas
•	to agree and politely disagree with other people’s ideas
•	to know how to politely interrupt someone, to correct something they have said, (if you think they are wrong)
•	to know how to ask for clarification (if you don’t understand what someone has said)
•	to offer your advice
•	to report back to the meeting (on what you have done since the last meeting) 

This podcast contains some very simple, useful phrases for each of these areas.  There are many more phrases, in my PDF course. Contact me through italki if you want more details.

ep1.한국인은 밥심
한국인은 밥심이라는 말이 있습니다.
밥은 쌀밥 또는 식사를 의미합니다. 쌀은 한국의 주식이기 때문이죠.
‘밥’은 한국 문화에서 아주 중요한 의미를 가집니다.
그래서인지 밥과 관련된 표현들이 많은데요.
예를 들어 한국 사람들은 식사 시간쯤에 만나면 안부를 묻는 말로
식사하셨어요? 밥 먹었어요?라고 묻습니다.
그리고 한국인들은 누군가를 걱정할 때면 '밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹어'라는 말을 해줍니다.
그리고 외국인들이 가장 혼란스러워하는 말, ‘다음에 밥 한번 먹자.’
이 말은 정말 약속을 잡는다는 말이 아니라 나중에 봐 정도로 생각하면 됩니다.
이만큼 한국인의 정서에 깊이 스며들어 있는 밥.
여러분도 밥이 들어가는 표현으로 친구에게 안부를 물어보세요.
여러분, 밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹고 다니시고 다음 시간에 만나요.😊

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

日本は今、台風が来ています。
毎年この時期には台風がよく来ます。

今は台風7号が来ています。

8/15の10:00ぐらいに和歌山を通っています。
こういう時、日本に住んでいる人は、少し怖いですね。
いろんな情報があるけど、言葉がわかりにくいかもしれないですね。

ということで、台風の時のニュースのだいたいの内容を読みながら説明しますね。

日本に住んでいる方や、これから日本に住む方、旅行で日本に来る予定のある方も知っておいた方が良いと思います。


では、やりましょう！


"台風7号は15日午前9時現在、和歌山市付近にあって、時速15キロで北西へ進んでいます。 "
ー台風の現在地を説明します。
時速15キロは本当にゆっくりですね。その分、同じ場所に雨が長い時間降ったりします。

"中心気圧は980ヘクトパスカル、最大風速は30メートル、最大瞬間風速は40メートルとなっています。"
ー台風の強さを説明します。


"この台風は、15日午前5時前に和歌山県潮岬付近に上陸しました。台風は、15日は近畿を北上する見込みです。その後、16日から17日頃にかけて日本海を北上し、北海道に近づくおそれがあります。"
ー台風がどのように進むかを説明します。こういう時に、
〜付近
上陸するー海から陸を通る
北上するー北に上がる
見込みーそうなるという確信があること
おそれがあるーわるいことが起こる推測がある
など、よく使いますね。

"土砂災害、低い土地の浸水、河川の増水や氾濫、暴風に厳重に警戒し、高波に警戒してください。"
ー起こりそうな災害、さいがい、について説明しています。
けっこういろんな言葉が出てきますね。

土砂災害どしゃさいがい
ー山やがけがくずれたり、土砂が雨水や川の水と混ざって流れたりすること

浸水しんすい
ー水が家や建物に入ってくること

増水ぞうすい
ー川の水がいつもより増えること

氾濫はんらん
ー川の水がいっぱいになってあふれ出ること

暴風ぼうふう
ーとても強い風で、被害がともなう風

厳重げんじゅう
ーいいかげんにせず、強い気持ちで取り組むこと

警戒けいかい
ー危険にそなえて、十分に注意すること

高波たかなみ
ー文字通り高い波、ですが、人が海岸に近づくと危ないレベルの高い波、ということです。


と、こんな感じです。

日常会話では使いませんが、台風の時の情報を知る大切な言葉です。


特に日本に住む方は一緒に声に出して覚えてくださいね！


ということで今回は以上です。

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！
