Teacher Joseph's Podcast

At the Supermarket (Christmas week) (with transcript for study)

PHIL: What time is that soccer game on? I thought it started 
at noon.
JACK: We must have had the wrong time. Oh, well … soccer’s not my 
favorite sport anyway. I much prefer basketball.
PHIL: Oh, really? I thought your favorite sport was tennis! I’m a big
fan of basketball, too.
JACK: How about a game sometime?
PHIL: Sure thing! Why don’t we go shoot some hoops now since the 
soccer game isn’t on?
JACK: Excellent idea. Let’s go.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• What time is that soccer game on? means “When does the soccer game start?” 
“What time” plus something plus “on” is a common expression used to ask about the 
start time of a TV show or a movie.
• I much prefer basketball here means “I like basketball a lot more than soccer.” Notice 
how “much” is stressed to show that the speaker really likes basketball.
• Oh, really? Notice the rising intonation on “really.” This shows that the speaker is 
surprised. He thought that Jack liked tennis the best.
• I’m a big fan of basketball is a way of saying “I like basketball very much” (“to be a 
fan of” is a casual expression used to describe something you really like).
• How about a game here means “Let’s play a basketball game.”
• Sure thing! This is a casual expression used to mean “OK.”
• Shoot some hoops means to play an informal game of basketball. This is a casual 
expression used between friends

Disc Golf

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about a new sport. This sport is growing, and it is very similar to golf. However, this is disc golf. So disc golf is like golf, except for you use a disc and instead of holes there are baskets and you will see the baskets with these chains hanging down and with a kind of a bucket thing.

And you throw the disc or the Frisbee into the chains. And then that counts  like putting the ball into a hole in golf. So the sport is great because there are a lot of free courses that you can play disc golf or Frisbee golf in. And just like golf, there are usually nine or 18 holes or baskets.

And the goal is to throw the disc, the Frisbee into the basket with as few throws as possible. So, for example, like in golf, you might have a course that is like par, par three. It takes three shots to get it into the hole So the same thing with disc golf, you have a par three course or par four.

So you're trying to get the disc into the basket in three throws or less. Now, some of the challenges with the disc golf courses are trees or obstacles. So sometimes the course will have a tree in the way and you'll have to throw the disc in a way that the disc curves around and goes around the tree so that you can get a clear look at the basket. Another interesting thing is that the discs are made of plastic according to Wikipedia.

Here it says that the discs are made of polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin. So it's a very dense plastic And they're smaller in size than a Frisbee that you think of. Like from when I was a kid, I remember the Frisbees were quite large. But these Frisbees are small and there are different Frisbees for different throws.

HOMBRE INTERROGANDO A DIOS.

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。


今日はぼくのちょっとくやしい経験について話します。
英語がうまく聞き取れなくて、くやしい経験をした、という話です。

昨日の夜、ぼくたちが泊まっているアパートで、他の部屋の人たちと夜ご飯を一緒に食べよう！ということになりました。

1人はアメリカの人、もう1人はドイツの人。
そして日本人である妻とぼく、の4人でした。

妻は英語がある程度話せるし聞き取れます。
昨日もだいたいの会話がわかるので、楽しく話していました。

ぼくは、聞き取るのが結構大変でした。
それぞれの人の話し方の特徴もあるし、スピードも少し早い。時々わかる時もあるけど、わからないことの方が多い。

こうなると、話についていくのはかなりむずかしいですね。

なんの話をしているかはわかりますが、詳細、詳しいことがわかりません。時々、妻に聞きながらなんとか聞き取ろうとしました。

オンラインレッスンで話す時は、自分と先生と1対1だから話しやすいですけど、人の話を聞くのはなかなかむずかしかったです。

でもこれも経験ですね。
昨日のちょっとくやしい気持ちを忘れずに、今日からまた英語の勉強をしようと思います。

自然な会話のスピードに慣れないといけないですね。
がんばります！

みなさんは同じような経験をしたことがありますか？
ありませんか？　


ぼくのオンラインレッスンでは、そういった話を一緒にすることもできます。ぜひ、いろんな経験を日本語で話してみましょう。



ぼくも英語や、今はトルコ語の勉強をがんばっています！
一緒に日本語の勉強もがんばりましょう！


ということで、今回は以上です。
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！
