おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、コンビニの袋(ふくろ)の話をしました。

袋が有料(ゆうりょう)なのは、コンビニだけではありません。
スーパーやデパートでも、有料です。

でも、日本はトイレは無料ですね。

無料(むりょう)‥つまり、お金をはらわくていいです。
０円です！

トイレが無料なのはうれしいです。

そういえば、コンビニにもトイレがあります。

コンビニで、トイレに行きたいときは、

"トイレをかりてもいいですか？"

とききます。

"すみません、トイレをかりてもいいですか？"

"はい、どうぞ。"

といいます。

トイレをかりてもいいですか？のほかには、

"トイレをつかってもいいですか？"

"トイレをかしてください"

といいます。

「トイレに行ってもいいですか？」
は言いません。

これは、学校で先生に
「トイレにいってもいいですか？」と、

ききますね。

私はコンビニでトイレをかりるとき、
お水やガムなど、何かを買うことにしています。

もちろん、買わなくても大丈夫です。

私の気持ちです。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

In Spanish, the letter "R" has two sounds, one soft and one hard.
The pronunciation of the letter "R" is difficult for English speakers, because you have to vibrate your tongue above the palate.
