はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン2の11回目です。現在は大学で、社会教育経営について学んでいます。大学の教科書が増えてきて、本棚のスペースが足りなくなってきました。教科書は紙の本より電子書籍がいいです。だけど本屋に行くのは好きです。

Hello, this is episode 11 of season 2 of my podcast. I am currently studying Social Education Management at university. The number of university textbooks is increasing and I am running out of space on my bookshelves. I prefer e-books to paper books for textbooks. But I like going to bookshops.

最近日本語の授業で、お寺と神社に行くときのマナーについて質問がありました。イスラム教のモスクに入る時は、薄着ではいけません。「薄着」とは、あまり服を着ていない状態のことです。たとえば、夏の服装です。たくさん服を着ている状態は、「厚着」と言います。日本では宗教に入っていない人の割合が60%以上なので、宗教に関するルールはあまり厳しくありません。お寺で祈る時は、胸の前で手を合わせたまま、お辞儀を１回します。神社では、お辞儀を２回して、そのあと２回手を叩いて、最後にもう一度お辞儀をします。お寺で祈る時は、手を叩いてはいけません。

In a recent Japanese class, there was a question about etiquette when visiting temples and shrines. When entering a Muslim mosque, you must not wear usugi. 'Usugi' (light clothing) means not wearing much clothing. For example, summer clothing. Wearing a lot of clothes is called 'atsugi' (heavy clothing). In Japan, more than 60% of people are not religious, so the rules regarding religion are not very strict. When praying at a temple, you bow once, keeping your hands clasped in front of your chest. At shrines, you bow twice, then clap your hands twice and bow again at the end. When praying at a temple, you must not clap your hands.

私はときどき、italkiのニュースレターの記事を書いています。これは日本語を勉強している人向けの記事ではなくて、日本語を教えている先生向けの記事です。授業を効果的に行う方法についてお話ししています。最近、勉強の仕方について考える機会がよくあります。今日の授業でも生徒さんと、どんな勉強方法が効率がいいか話し合いました。彼は同じ本を100回読むと、記憶が深くなると言っていました。面白い方法だと思いました。勉強で一番大事なのは、続けることだと思います。続けている限り、下手になることはありません。運動を続けている限り、健康でいられるのと同じです。上手になることも重要ですが、続けることに一番意味があると思います。

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of apology encompass a range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, one might simply say "sorry" or "my bad" to acknowledge a mistake. When the apology is sincere, phrases like "I sincerely apologize" and "I'm truly sorry" convey the depth of regret. In informal settings, a more casual approach may be taken with expressions like "I messed up" or "oops, I'm sorry," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I offer my most sincere apologies" or "please accept my formal apology," while emphasizing the depth of regret. Politeness tempers the apology in expressions such as "I'm so sorry" and "please forgive me," demonstrating a genuine desire for reconciliation. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the apology, as seen in expressions like "I'm on the apology tour" or "I'm in hot water." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their regret with statements like "I must express my profound regret" or "please accept my sincerest apologies," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, an apology is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "I extend my most heartfelt apologies" or "please accept my deepest regrets," 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.
