TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of apology encompass a range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, one might simply say "sorry" or "my bad" to acknowledge a mistake. When the apology is sincere, phrases like "I sincerely apologize" and "I'm truly sorry" convey the depth of regret. In informal settings, a more casual approach may be taken with expressions like "I messed up" or "oops, I'm sorry," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I offer my most sincere apologies" or "please accept my formal apology," while emphasizing the depth of regret. Politeness tempers the apology in expressions such as "I'm so sorry" and "please forgive me," demonstrating a genuine desire for reconciliation. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the apology, as seen in expressions like "I'm on the apology tour" or "I'm in hot water." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their regret with statements like "I must express my profound regret" or "please accept my sincerest apologies," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, an apology is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "I extend my most heartfelt apologies" or "please accept my deepest regrets," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

こんにちは！
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。

さて、今回も海外旅行の続きです。
オランダ、アムステルダムの話をします。

このアムステルダムの街の形はとてもおもしろい形をしています。街の中に運河、川がいくつか流れています。17世紀のはじめにたくさん増えた移民に対応すること、街を守るという点から、4つの半円状の運河を含む街がつくられました。


アムステルダムで行ったいくつかの場所を紹介しますね。

アンネ・フランクの家
+31 20 556 7105
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6cT2zqEx5E5MFUPd6?g_st=ic

ナチスのユダヤ人への迫害から逃れるため、アンネの家族でドイツからオランダ、アムステルダムへ亡命しました。この場所で約2年間隠れ、日記に書き続けました。でも1944年に発見されました。そしてアンネは15歳で発疹チフスという感染症で亡くなったそうです。

ドイツ、オランダでは戦争のことや、ユダヤ人に関することなど、史跡や博物館などで知れる場所がたくさんあります。そして、それを忘れないようにしていることが伝わってきます。


The Pancake Bakery
+31 20 625 1333
https://maps.app.goo.gl/zGMe1ge1vD5S1Lrn8?g_st=ic

オランダのパンケーキを食べられる店です。
アメリカなどのパンケーキと違って、もっと平べったくて大きなものでした。僕はリンゴとベーコンが入ったパンケーキを食べました。甘すぎず、食べ応えのあるパンケーキでとてもおいしかったです。

ゴッホ美術館
+31 20 570 5200
https://maps.app.goo.gl/2SRTiGfoxsTJsMwj9?g_st=ic

ゴッホ美術館は、行きたかったんですけど、残念ながらチケットが取れませんでした。妻が調べてくれたんですが、3ヶ月ぐらい前にチケットを買わないといけないみたいです。

もしアムステルダムに行く予定があって、ゴッホ美術館に行きたいと思っている人は、できるだけ早めにチケットをとっておいてくださいね！


アムステルダムは形がとてもおもしろい形の街です。
思っていたよりも広い街で、トラムで移動もできますし、歩いて楽しむこともできます。

古い街並みが残っています。
それを大切にしているような雰囲気があり、とても気持ちが良い街でした。



行きたいところは他にもたくさんあったんですが、2日しかいなかったので、全然足りなかったです。次行く時はもう少しゆっくりみたいですね。

今回はこれで終わりです。
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！
