Have you  asked someone about their weekend and accidentally axed an entire department... right before Christmas?

Me neither.. thanks to this one simple trick.

The Jerome Meadows Experience

to ask VS to axe

SALESPERSON: Can I help you?
GLORIA: Yes, I’m looking for a sweater — in a size medium.
SALESPERSON: Let’s see … here’s a nice white one. What do 
you think?
GLORIA: I think I’d rather have it in blue.
SALESPERSON: OK … here’s blue, in a medium. Would you
like to try it on?
GLORIA: OK … yes, I love it. It fits perfectly. How much is it?
SALESPERSON: It’s $50. It will be $53, with tax.
GLORIA: Perfect! I’ll take it.

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet 
a customer.
• I’m looking for a here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”
• Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some 
women’s clothing comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.
• Let’s see … An expression used when a person wants to think something over, to 
make a choice or decision, or to look for something.
• I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a 
different” color/size/material, etc.
• Would you like to …? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to …?”
• Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a 
separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”
• How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence 
stress falls on “is” in this question.
• I’ll take it means “I will buy it.”

In this episode, we’re diving into two super common Chinese characters: “电” (diàn) and “机” (jī)! You see them everywhere in words like 电视 (TV), 电脑 (computer), 电影 (movie), 手机 (mobile phone), and 飞机 (airplane). But do you know why these characters are used and how they shape the meaning of these words? Let’s explore their fascinating connections and boost your Chinese vocabulary in a fun way!

The 2nd Place to Visit among 5 Tourist Attractions in South Korea _명동

Poesia tratta dal libro di Alda Merini (Milano, 1931-2009), "La vita facile", dove la celebre poetessa sviscera le impressioni di un'intera vita: dal manicomio alla passione amorosa, dall'invecchiamento alla solitudine nella sua casa di Milano. Buon ascolto!................................................

"La Vita Facile"

A tutti i giovani raccomando:
aprite i libri con religione,
non guardateli superficialmente,
perché in essi è racchiuso
il coraggio dei nostri padri.
E richiudeteli con dignità
quando dovete occuparvi di altre cose.
Ma soprattutto amate i poeti.
Essi hanno vangato per voi la terra
per tanti anni, non per costruivi tombe,
o simulacri, ma altari.
Pensate che potete camminare su di noi
come su dei grandi tappeti
e volare oltre questa triste realtà quotidiana.

A.M.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回のPodcastはジョージアでの新しいアパートについて。

一応改めて話すと、僕たち夫婦は先月まで3か月はトルコに滞在。

今はジョージアに滞在しています。
4月の終わりまでいる予定です。

昨日まで約1か月、
ホストと一緒に生活するアパートにいました。

この家のホストの人はとてもステキな人でした。

とても親切でやさしくて、
いつも"問題ない？"と気にかけてくれました。

一緒にボードゲームをして遊んだり、ホストの友達と一緒にいろんな話をしたりしました。


ジョージアの話をしたり、日本の話もたくさんしました。
もちろん、ジョージア語、日本語の話もしました！

ちなみに、ジョージア語では、

こんにちは！はガマルジョバ。
ありがとう、はマドロバ。

と言います。

今日からの新しいアパートは貸し切りのアパート。
どんな1か月になるか楽しみです！

またおもしろいことがあれば、Podcastで話しますね。

ということで、
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！
