HSK6 Vocab Based - Short Story Podcast

What do you say when you care… but you’re late to say it?

In this episode, we explore the quiet power of the phrase “I’ve been meaning to…”—a structure that carries time, emotion, and unfinished intention. You’ll learn why this simple phrase shows up in apologies, reconnections, and honest moments—and how it helps you speak with more depth and softness. No grammar charts here—just rhythm, feeling, and fluency that lives in real life.

て形を使った表現①

Covered with pins and adornments, Vivianne Robinson is hard to miss in the streets of Paris.

The Olympics superfan has attended seven Summer Games over 40 years. But this trip to Paris came at a cost of $10,000.

Robinson, 66 and from Los Angeles, maxed out her credit cards and worked two jobs to afford the trip and the 38 event tickets she bought. And she has to work two more years to make up the money she spent.

"It was hard to save up and it's a big budget, but it's a thousand times worth it," she says.

Robinson's fascination with the Olympics started when her mother worked as a translator for athletes during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her mother would come home after work with pins from athletes that she gave to her daughter.

Her hobby of collecting pins led her to Atlanta 1996, where she made rice necklaces for athletes in exchange for their pins.

"I got all the pins and I got to meet all the athletes. And in those days, it wasn't high security like now," she said. "Now you can't even get near the athletes' village."

From there: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, London 2012 and Rio 2016. She got a visa for Beijing 2008, but couldn't afford the trip. It was similar for Tokyo: she bought tickets, but got refunded as COVID-19 soared and the Games were held without spectators.

Robinson's outfits started simply but have become more complex over time. She spent a year working on her Paris outfit, which has hundreds of adornments. People often stop her in the street, asking for a photo.

As soon as these Olympics end, she will start working on the next Summer Games — which will be in her hometown in Los Angeles.

"I'm going to do it forever," she said. "I'm going to save all my money and just concentrate on Olympics."

'Worth It': Olympics Superfan Spent $10,000 to Get to Paris

1.丰富 fēngfù v.to enrich
2.无聊wúliáo adj.boring
3.讨厌tǎo yàn v.to dislike
4.却 què adv.but,yet
5.周围 zhōu wéi.n surrounding
6.交流jiāo liú
每个人都需要朋友，朋友可以丰富我们的生活。离开朋友，我们的生活一定非常无聊。那么，怎样才能交到更多的朋友呢？当然，要有好脾气。一个脾气不好的人虽然不一定让人讨厌，但是却很难跟人交朋友。因为没有人会喜欢跟一个总是容易生气的人在一起。我们还要经常跟周围的人交流。交流能让人们互相了解，如果有更同的兴趣，就更容易成为朋友了。

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日は関西弁のイントネーションについて。
標準語と関西弁でイントネーションや言葉がいろいろと違います。

今日はイントネーションの違いを話そうと思います。
私はネイティブの関西人なので、無意識に使っていますが、聞いている人からすると、すぐにわかるようです。

ということで、やってみましょう！

いくつかあげてみますね！
・ありがとう
　標準語　りであがる
　関西弁　とうがあがる

・田中さん
　標準語　高いまま
　関西弁　中だけあがる

・ファミマ(ファミリーマート)
　関西弁　ミであがる

・スタバ(スターバックス)
　関西弁　タであがる

どうですか？
イントネーションの違い、わかりますか？
正直、標準語はちょっと自信がないです笑
無意識に関西弁を使い続けているので。
関西弁の方はネイティブなので大丈夫だと思います！

他にも
こんにちは
朝ごはん
遊ぶ
電車
映画
外国人

ちょっとわからなくなってくるので、これぐらいにしたいと思います！

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！

Ouistiti et les balayeurs
Le papa de Ouistiti fait des cadres pour des tableaux. Un jour, il annonce:
- Ce matin, j'ai eu beaucoup de travail. Tant mieux! Plus j'ai de travail et plus je gagne de l'argent!
Cette réflexion rend Ouistiti songeur. Après le déjeuner, le petit singe sort dans la rue. Deux balayures nettoient le trottoir. Mais ils n'ont pas grand-chose à balayer! Ouistiti a une idée. Il court dans la cuisine, prends la poubelle et la vide sur le trottoir! Puis il dit au balayeur médusé:
- Comme ça, vous aurez plein de travail et vous gagnerez beaucoup d'argent!
