Well it depends! On so many factors. Native like fluency is a must at least for higher levels but at lower levels, it's incredibly helpful when a teacher speaks your native language.....

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)

These expressions of gratitude traverse a spectrum of sincerity and formality. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply say "thank you," "thanks," or even add a casual "cheers" to express appreciation. When gratitude is deeply felt, phrases like "I'm sincerely grateful" and "I'm truly thankful" convey the depth of one's appreciation. In informal settings, a heartfelt thank you might be expressed with "you're a lifesaver" or "you're the best," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I extend my heartfelt thanks" or "I wish to express my deepest gratitude," while emphasizing that kindness does not go unnoticed. Politeness tempers the thanks in expressions such as "I want to say thank you" and "your help means a lot to me," demonstrating genuine gratitude. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the gratitude, as seen in expressions like "I owe you one" or "you're a legend." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their gratitude with statements like "I'm most grateful" or "your assistance is greatly appreciated," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, gratitude is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "your kindness has not gone unnoticed" or "you have my deepest thanks," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日も少しだけ、雪がふりました。
どんどん寒くなります。
コロナの感染者も増えているので気をつけようと思っています。


さて、今日は和食について。
みなさんは、和食、と聞いたら何を思い浮かべますか？
寿司？ラーメン？焼肉？
いろんな種類の和食がありますね。

今回はそんな中でも、
日本人の伝統的な食文化としての、和食について、いくつ簡単に話しますね。

季節ごとに楽しめる食材があります。
食を通して家族は絆を強めていました。
一汁三菜いちじゅうさんさい、といって、栄養バランスが良い。

などが特徴です。

他にも、
ローカルな地元の郷土料理がある。
おせち料理、行事の食事など、
たくさんの特徴があります。

日本では、食べる前に、いただきます、
食べた後にごちそうさまでした、といいます。

食材や、料理した人、食べることへの感謝などを手を合わせて言う、ということも日本ならではかもしれませんね。

小さい時ははしの持ち方に苦労したことを今思い出しました。


とはいえ、このような和食の文化はどんどんなくなっているようにも感じます。自分も小さい時に比べると和食を食べることは減りました。

でも、このオンラインレッスンで海外のみなさんと話すことで、もっと日本のことを知りたいなと思うようになりました。みなさんに日本のことを伝えたいと思います。

そのためにも、和食についても少し勉強してみようと思います。時々、Podcastでも和食について話しますね！

みなさんの好きな和食はなんですか？
よければ、オンラインレッスン、italkiで話しましょう！

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！
