はい、こんにちは。今回はシーズン２の７回目です。今日は大学のレポートを一つ終えました。だんだん書き方がわかってきましたが、難しいです。毎年１月は日本語の生徒さんが増えます。私の授業でも、新しい生徒さんが増えています。いつもありがとうございます。１月は新しい目標を立てて、新しい習慣を始める人が多いですね。

Hello. This is episode 7 of season 2 of my podcast. Today I finished one of my university essays. I am gradually learning how to write them, but it is still difficult. Every year in January, the number of Japanese students increases. There are also more new students in my classes. Thank you to all my students, January is the month when many people set new goals and start new habits.

最近外に出ていなかったので、今日は出かけることにしました。出かけるほどの用事がなかったので、オンラインで注文していた商品を、わざわざキャンセルして取りに行くことにしました。「わざわざ」は、しなくてもいいことをするときに使います。いい意味でも悪い意味でも使います。電車に乗って、４つ先の駅の家電量販店に行きました。先月まではそんなに寒くなかったですが、最近急に寒くなりました。今週は雪が降るそうです。先月のうちにコートをクリーニングに出しておいて良かったです。

I hadn't been outside recently, so I decided to go out today. I didn't have any things I needed to do outside, so I decided to Wazawaza cancel the items I had ordered online and pick them up at the store. 'Wazawaza (intentionally)' is used when you do something you don't have to do. It is used in both positive and negative contexts. I took the train to an electronics store four stops away. It wasn't so cold until last month, but it has suddenly become cold recently. It is going to snow this week. I am glad I got my coat dry cleaned last month.

家電量販店でコンタクトレンズを買ったら、1,000円ぐらいのポイントが溜まりました。日本の家電量販店では、よくポイントがもらえます。この店のポイントは買った金額の10%です。たとえば1,000円の買い物をすると、100円のポイントがもらえます。ポイントは同じ店で現金として使うことができます。違う店では使えません。私はこのポイントを使って、筋トレ用のアンクルウェイトを買い換えることにしました。いままで0.5kgのものを使っていましたが、1kgにしました。持って帰る時少し重かったので、改めてオンラインは便利だと思いました。

Chinese language has not many syllables, as a result, many Chinese words that sound the same have totally different meanings. The feature of Chinese allows speakers to use homophones quite often. There are six types of homophone rhetoric. This voice will introduce the first type.

João: Oi, Pedro! Tudo tranquilo e contigo?

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.
