Have you ever heard the following phrase before: "I have a gut feeling".  How would you describe this feeling? When do we usually use this expression?
This expression is often used to describe an intuitive or instinctive sense or belief about something, even when there may not be concrete evidence or logical reasoning to support it. The feeling is often described as a sensation in the stomach or abdomen, hence the reference to the "gut."
People commonly use this expression when they have a strong sense or intuition about a situation, decision, or person, but they may not be able to articulate specific reasons for their feelings. It's a way of acknowledging and trusting one's instincts or intuition, which can sometimes be influenced by subtle cues or information that may not be consciously recognized.

Here are some useful words and expressions:

1. Curiosity killed the cat : This is an idiom that suggests being too inquisitive or nosy can lead to trouble or unpleasant consequences. It's often used to caution against excessive curiosity.

2.To grip on something: This phrase means to firmly hold onto or grasp something, either physically or metaphorically. It implies a strong and secure hold.

3.To trip: In a physical sense, to trip means to stumble or lose one's balance, often resulting in a brief fall. In a figurative sense, it can also mean to make a mistake or encounter an obstacle.

4. To be surrounded by: This expression indicates that something or someone is positioned all around a particular place or person. It implies being encircled or encompassed from all sides.

5.Hissing sound: A hissing sound is a noise characterized by a prolonged "s" or "h" sound. It is often produced by air or steam escaping through a small opening, or by certain animals as a warning or defensive signal.

One way to improve our language skills is by expressing our thoughts in the target language. For that reason, I have prepared an English conversation class “Express Yourself through A Conversation”. Please feel free to check that lesson here: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/24647106/english
I have a lot of interesting topics to talk about. But of course, you are welcome to bring up your own topic.

In this episode, I want to show you one example of the discussion topic. It’s about my imaginary city, Subara City 素晴市 （スバラしsu ba ra shi）.   The name is derived from 素晴らしい（すばらしい）and 都市（とし）.   素晴らしい means “wonderful”, “magnificent”.    市 means “city” and when placed at the end of a word can be pronounced as “shi”し.   So here I name my imaginary city 素晴市（スバラしsu ba ra shi）or “Subara City”.  In this episode, I’m introducing English lessons, not Japanese. I just want to let you know how I made up the name.

The theme of the story is that you have just been elected to the council for Subara City. You have 6 billion Yen in your budget. What can you do? Listen through. Below here is a simple worksheet to give you more ideas.

Budget: ………………….. Yen

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

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

今、ぼくはトルコにいます。
約３か月、トルコにいる予定です。

トルコで生活をはじめてから1週間が経ちました。
いろんなものを食べたので、この1週間でおいしい！と思ったものを紹介します。

それは、サバサンドです。
一般的にはサバサンドなんですが、ぼくが好きなのはサバラップです。
バゲットのようなパンではなく、薄いパン生地のようなもので巻かれたものです。サバラップ？みたいなものです。

サバは、日本人も好きな魚ですね。
もちろん、好き嫌いはあると思います。

日本だと焼き鯖や締め鯖寿司などが有名です。
個人的には、サバは好きです。健康にも良いですしね。
塩で焼いた塩サバは美味しいです。

こんな風に日本でも馴染みのあるサバが、ご飯と一緒ではないですけど、違う食べ方で楽しむことができます。


それが、サバラップ？です。トルコ語で、
バルック・ドゥルム（Balik Durum）

といいます。

このBalık Dürüm、本当においしいです。
炭火で焼いて骨をきれいに取ったサバを、トルティーヤのような生地で巻きます。

その中には、
レタス
玉ねぎ
トマト
などが入っています。

そこにチリパウダーのようなスパイスをかけ、トルコのしょうゆみたいなものをかけ、ラップにした状態でもう一度焼きます。

これをいただきます。

バケットにはさんだサバサンドはおいしくない、という情報を妻がネットから見つけていたので、このBalık Dürüm、サバラップを探して食べました。

味は少しスパイシーです。
大きなアジが半身ぐらい入っているので、結構な食べごたえと満足感があります。

日本を出て、異国の地で魚を食べられるととても嬉しいですね。知らない土地でもほっとした気持ちになります。


みなさんは海外で食べた好きな食べ物はありますか？
日本で食べた好きな食べ物はありますか？

そんな話をぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！


ということで、今回は以上です。
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！
