"The" article - General rules

日本に住んでいるみなさん。これから日本に来るみなさん。
春、日本人はときどき、「あーーー体がへんだなーーー」と思います。
どうしてでしょうか？！
今回はそのことについて話しています。

Nihongo Hanaso (Beginners)

Beginners 日本人は春に病気になる？

با آنکه شراب پرده ما بدرید، تا جان دارم نخواهم از باده برید
من در عجبم زِ مِی فروشان کایشان، بِه زانچه فروشند چه خواهند خرید

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour -- well,
I [often wonder]1 what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the [Goods]2 they sell.

Episode #1: Let's Learn English Idioms with Adam! [All Levels]

I feel Christmas and New Year's holiday in Japan and north America is opposite. In Japan, Christmas is more like party time, festival feeling, and new years holiday is more holy and family gathering feeling. 
日本のクリスマスとお正月。北米と逆だなと思います。日本はクリスマスはパーティーとかサンタクロースのイメージ。お正月がもう少し神聖な雰囲気で家族でも集まります。
