1: Ich bin Paul | I am Paul

В этом подкасте я рассказываю, как уходят в отпуск люди в России, почему сезон отпусков - это период с конца июня по сентябрь и что такое "тюлений отдых". Приятного прослушивания!

Привет, это Наташа!

Отпуск. Как? Когда? Сколько?

Today I’m going to talk about Kanji “一(ichi)”. 
One day one of my students said to me, “Kanji is difficult because they have a lot of way to read. For example, “一（ichi）” is very simple and easy, but it has so many ways to read.”
 I totally agree with her. Even native speakers of Japanese sometimes misread kanji. Then, what kind of reading and meaning does Kanji ”一” have?

日本語の漢字は　一つの漢字に　いくつかの読み方があります。
それが、漢字が難しいと感じる原因になっています。
このあいだも、きょねん　N3に合格した　生徒さんが　こんなことを言っていました。
「一」	はむずかしいです。読み方がとてもたくさんあって、たいへんです。
本当に　たくさん読み方があると思います。
一月（いちがつ）と　一月（ひとつき）は　漢字で書くと同じになってしまいます。ですから、日本人は書くときに　一月は漢字で、ひと月は「一」をひらがなで「ひと」と書いたり、同じ意味の「一か月」と書いたりします。

一年	一月　一日　一番　　は「いち」
一個　一回　一瞬　一品　は「いっ」、「い」に小さい「っ」がつく「「いっ」
一つ　一口　一休み　一言　は「ひと」
唯一　均一　統一　単一　は「いつ」
むずかしい読み方では、「一昨日」と書いて「おととい」　、「一昨年」と書いて「おととし」、「一寸」と書いて「ちょっと」と読むなど　ほかにもいろいろあります。

そして、「一」の意味は「ひとつ」という数を表すだけではありません。
「世界一」の「一」は　最上のもの　一番上のものという意味、
「一瞬」の「一」は、少し、わずかという意味です。
日本によくある100円ショップは100均（ひゃっきん）と言われています。
この100均は100円均一の略で、「均一」の「一」は　一つのまとまり、あつまり、一つのグループという意味です。　だから100均は100円の商品だけをあつめたお店ということになるんですね。
ほかにもいろいろありますが、全部は紹介できないので、興味のある人は辞書で調べてみてくださいね。

ここまで聞いてくれた人の中には、たぶん、漢字の読み方の「覚え方のコツはありますか？」「何か読むときのルールはありますか？」と思っているのではないでしょうか。

残念ながら、こうやれば覚えやすいという方法もルールもありません。
日本人も読み方がわからなかったり、間違えることがあります。
辞書で調べて　確認して、一つ一つ覚えるしかありません。

めんどうくさいかもしれませんが、知れば知るほどおもしろくなるのが漢字の世界だと思います。　ぜひ、楽しんで学習してください。

“One city that I really find so interesting is Venice, which I think has to be one of the most amazing, and fascinating cities in the world. Venice is located in… I think….the north of Italy, on the coast,and is one of the most popular tourist destinations… not just in Italy but, anywhere in the world today.

 

Venice is known as the city of canals, and there are so many things Venice is famous for including its beautiful bridges, gondola rides, historical buildings…. interesting old streets…..Oh! and also the Venice carnival, which looks like so much fun.

 

I remember I first learned about Venice back when i was in high school, and we studied the Shakespeare play “The merchant of Venice……. I can still remember my English teacher showing us a short video showing all the sites of Venice……… I remember thinking…..wow! This has to be one of the most amazing cities i’ve ever seen, and decided this is a place i must visit in the future.

 

Venice with all of its magnificent….. historical buildings, ancient bridges and water really looks like no other city in the world today. It almost looks like something from a movie set, and it’s amazing to think that this is actually a real place, that still remains and looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. I think that’s what really makes it so interesting in my mind.

 

There are no ugly modern or high rise buildings, which again just makes it such an interesting city compared to other popular tourist cities.

 

  I really think there are no other cities that can be compared to Venice, and it is truly a unique city, with more interesting and fascinating sites than you can imagine.”

 

Thank you……
