CIUDAD DE MÉXICO EPISODIO NÚMERO DIECISEIS.

New Year (正月, shōgatsu) is the most important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.

Years are traditionally viewed as completely separate, with each new year providing a fresh start. Consequently, all duties are supposed to be completed by the end of the year, while bonenkai parties ("year forgetting parties") are held with the purpose of leaving the old year's worries and troubles behind.

Homes and entrance gates are decorated with ornaments made of pine, bamboo and plum trees, and clothes and houses are cleaned.

On New Year's eve, toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles), symbolizing longevity, are served. A more recent custom is watching the music show "kohaku uta gassen", a highly popular television program featuring many of Japan's most famous J-pop and enka singers in spectacular performances.

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#32  私のペット / My pets // N4 Level /Japanese listening

Halo, apa kabar semua? Kembali lagi di podcast saya.
Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 

Besok, tanggal 14 Februari adalah hari Valentine, atau disebut juga hari kasih sayang. Biasanya apa yang kalian lakukan di hari itu? Euforia hari Valentine ini sudah terlihat di supermarket, mal yang penuh dengan dekorasi berbentuk hati, berwarna merah, merah muda, dan lainnya. 
Banyak orang yang habiskan waktu bersama dengan orang-orang tercinta di hari kasih sayang ini, memberi hadiah, coklat, bunga atau juga mengirim kartu valentine. Mereka melakukan semua ini sebagai rasa terima kasih seribu untuk orang-orang tersayang. "Terima kasih seribu(1000)" artinya adalah "sangat terima kasih". Di Bahasa Inggris, "a thousand thanks", dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya " 本当にありがとうございます". Terima kasih seribu kepada kalian ya, karena selalu mendengarkan podcast saya! :) 

Apa kalian sudah punya rencana untuk besok? 
Selamat menikmati hari kasih sayang dengan keluarga, teman baik dan orang-orang yang kalian cintai ya! Selamat hari Valentine! 





Akhir minggu

Terima kasih seribu
