In questo episodio continuiamo la lettura del libro La fine è il mio inizio versione redux. 
Ho fatto un errore nei primi minuti dell'episodio accenno al solstizio d'estate (21/06) dicendo equinozio invece di solstizio, questo a prova del fatto che anche noi parlanti nativi facciamo errori!!! Spero che questo episodio sia di vostro gradimento, buono ascolto e buono studio!!!

La fine è il mio inizio Capitolo 1 parte 1

昔は日本語の色は「赤」（red)、「青」(blue)、「白」(white)、「黒」(black)の４色しかなかったそうなんです。そして、この4色に「黄色」(yellow)と「茶色」(brown)の2色を合わせた6色が、古くから日本語で使われていた伝統的な色名とされています。
さて、この６色は　最後に「い」をつけると　形容詞になり、物の色を表現できます。
例えば、「赤い車」、「青い海」、「白い雪」「黒い髪」などですね。そして「黄色い花」、「茶色い馬」などと言うことができます。
では　この６色以外の色の形容詞は　どういいますか？例えば、greenの緑は「緑い」とは言いません。
その他の色は　○○色の　ということができますよ。
例えば、　greenの緑は「緑色の」となります。
「緑色の野菜」「ピンク色のTシャツ」「水色の傘」などですね！

ただ、例外もあって、赤、青、白、黒、なども　「赤色の靴」、「青色のかばん」などのように言うこともできます。

Dear all, 

This introduction will give you insight into how my lessons flow and what you might expect when you book a class with me. The recorded 'live' lectures that I will upload are with students that I currently teach. You will hear me ask and answer many questions, and you can practice pronunciation and improve your listening skills for free from each episode. 

My objective is for you to have the courage to book classes with me so you can speak like a native with confidence.

Thank you! 

All the best,
Duran
