日本語って短く略（りゃく）すのが多いんだけど、今日それを考えてたのね。そしたら結構 略してる言葉がたくさんあって、発音するのが難しいな～とか長いな～とか思ってる人がいたら本当使ってほしい！

Japanese is often abbreviated in short sentences, and I was thinking about that today. I found a lot of words that are abbreviated.I really want people to use them if they find them difficult to pronounce or too long!


まず、タイトルにも書いてるんだけど、「ポケモン」ね。これって「ポケットモンスター」の略なの。そして「マクドナルド」は「マック」っていうんだけど、大阪の人は「マクド」っていうよ。「マクドナルド」の発音が難しかったら「マックどこですか？」って言えばOKだよ。

First of all, the title says it all: "Pokemon”. It stands for "Pocket Monster”. And "McDonald's" is called "Makku," but people in Osaka call it "makudo”. If you have difficulty pronouncing "McDonald's," say, "Where is Makku?(Makku wa doko desuka?) It's OK if you say.


あと「ケンタッキーフライドチキン」は「ケンタ」、「ユニバーサルスタジオジャパン」は「ユニバ」、「スターバックス」は「スタバ」....うーん、あと、、、コンビニの「セブンイレブン」は「セブン」、「ファミリーマート」は「ファミマ」、「ローソン」は...略しません！「ローソン」は「ローソン」だよ！

And "Kentucky Fried Chicken" is "Kenta", "Universal Studios Japan" is "Yuniba", and "Starbucks" is "Sutaba". .... Ummm...also...convenience stores "7-Eleven" is "Seven", "Family Mart" is "Famima", "Lawson" is... They don't abbreviate! Lawson is "Lawson"!


あと「タピオカを飲む」は「タピる」、「あー、なるほどね」は「あーね」とかも言うよ！

We also say "tapiru" for "drink tapioca (Tapioka wo nomu)" and "ah, I see(a—, naruhodone)" for "a–—ne"!


あとあとアイスクリームの「バスキン・ロビンス(Baskin-Robbins)」ってあるじゃん？もし日本で「バスキン・ロビンスどこですか？」って言っても日本人わからないんだよね。「サーティーワン(31)どこですか？」ってきいたらわかるよ！

And there is also an ice cream shop called "Baskin-Robbins", right? If you ask, "Where is Baskin-Robbins?(Baskin-Robbins wa doko desuka?)" in Japan, the Japanese don't understand. If you ask "Where is Thirty One?(Thirty One wa doko desuka?)", The Japanese will understand!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DEL TIEMPO LIBRE.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Cuando tienes el tiempo libre normalmente que haces?



Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


En vacaciones, el fin de semana o después del trabajo tienes tiempo libre para hacer ejercicio, llevar un pasatiempo o salir a divertirte.

Si eres deportista y te gusta el agua puedes nadar, si te gusta la nieve puedes esquiar. Si no dispones de mucho tiempo puedes correr o ir en bicicleta.

Hay quien prefiere quedarse en casa a ver la televisión, jugar videojuegos o navegar en Internet. Otras actividades para hacer dentro de casa cuando llueve o hace mucho frío son escuchar tu música favorita, leer un buen libro o aprender a tocar un instrumento. Puedes aprovechar tu tiempo libre para estudiar.

Si el tiempo es bueno, tal vez quieras ir de compras, salir con amigos a divertirse o pasar tiempo con la familia en algún lugar divertido para todos, como un parque de diversiones, el teatro o el cine. Aprovechar el tiempo libre es importante para tener una vida feliz.
