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。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。

日本では、新年のはじめに初詣、はつもうでに行きます。
人によりますが、だいたいの人が行くと思います。

初詣とは、その年はじめに神社へ行き、その年の健康などを願います。

元旦早朝から行われることが一般的ですが、1日に行けない人は1月前半、遅くても1月中には行きます。

神社に行って、お参りする時は、
二拝二拍手一拝をします。

2回お礼をして、
2回手を叩き、
最後に1回お礼をします。

願いごとをする時は、最後のお礼の時にします。

今年は残念ながら行けません。
毎年行っているので、行かないとちょっと変な感じがします。

みなさんの国では、新年にする特別なことはありますか？

そんな話をオンラインレッスンでしましょう！
お待ちしています！

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！
