Common mistakes made by English Language Learners Part 5: Countable and Uncountable Nouns

In this episode I talk about what Syrians do in their daily lives.

Yesterday I did a podcast on "Birthday" and I came up with some questions for you to think about

What was the best birthday you ever had?
How old were you?
Who was there, who did you invite?
Did you have it at home? Did you cook?
or you had it in a restaurant/ cafe?
Why was it the best birthday for you?
What feelings, emotions did you experience?
What were the gifts you were given?
Which one was the best one?
Who was the most memorable person at the party?

Today I decided to answer it myself. 

I didn't prepare - I just told it how it is. 

I hope you'll get an idea that you don't have to be perfect when you are asked questions. You don't have to be X Y Z... You can just be you and enjoy it...

There is great in the mindset if you'll accept it through listening&agreeing with it.

To Your Success!

How I'd answer my own questions :) The topic is Birthday 

Mientras investigaba sobre este asunto tan apasionante, iba pensando en los correos que tenía pendientes, los artículos que hay para leer sobre el tema para abarcar lo mayor posible, los libros en fila para esta semana enfocados en los clubes de lectura que coordino y las clases que debía preparar para la semana, y si queda tiempo, descansar un poquito. La necesidad de NO HACER NADA es real, siento que soy un vivo ejemplo, este tema va a estar muy interesante. Comencemos.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は4/28です。
この時期になるとほとんどの地域では桜は散っていますが、北海道はこれからが桜のシーズンです。

今は北海道の1番南にある函館が満開のようです。
満開は桜のシーズンだけ使う言葉です。
満開は100%咲いている、ということですね。
それ以外には、
開花ー咲きはじめ
三分咲きー30%ぐらい
五分咲きー50%ぐらい
七分咲きー70％ぐらい
があります。

北海道の他の地域はまだ三分咲きとか、五分咲きのところが多いと思います。

昨日、天気も良く、奥さんも休みだったので、桜を見に行きました。今年必ず行きたいと思っていた場所に行きました。


北海道の日高、というところにある桜を見に行きました。
ここは観光で行くにはちょっと大変です。ですが、今まで見た桜並木の中で1番長かったです。ずっと桜の木がありました。

二十間道路の桜並木
0146-42-1000
https://maps.app.goo.gl/87WPfBKirMVTHDZz9?g_st=ic

日本一の桜並木だそうです。約2,200本の桜が直線７kmに渡って咲くようです。昔、ここに皇族の牧場、みたいなものがあって、その皇族の人たちが通る道路としてつくられた道だそうです。
　それで、そこに1916（大正５）年から３年かけてたくさんの桜をうえました。この道幅がちょうど二十間（約36m）あったので、二十間道路と呼ばれるようになったそうです。


本当にずっとまっすぐの道で、その横に桜がずっと並んで植えられているんですね。この景色は見たことがなくて、本当に良い景色でした。

桜はまだ五分咲きぐらいだったんですが、ゴールデンウィーク前で天気が良い時に行かないと見れないと思っていたので、昨日行ってきました。

桜だけじゃなくて、周りの景色も広々として遠くには山も見えて、きれいでした。北海道ならではの景色だったので、見に行くことができて、本当に良かったです。

他にも桜を見れる場所があります。
近々見に行って、その感想をまた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！
