DOGS

Welcome back, and you’re watching the Olympic Winter Games Review… and they are getting ready now… about to start the race… This will be a very exciting skiing event. Everyone is talking about it. Almost ready now… 

“Aaron… Aaron… Can you hear me? Or are you too busy watching TV?” says an angry voice. 

Aaron is a handsome black cat. Right now, he’s lying on the couch watching TV. His hands are on his belly and his head is on a pillow. 

His mother is standing over him. She looks upset and angry. She is wearing wet rubber gloves. 

“When will you stop?” says Aaron’s mother while looking for the TV remote. “You have been watching this show all day!”

She finds it under a pillow. She turns off the TV.

“Hey!” cries Aaron. “I was watching that! They were just about to start!” 

“I should tell your father. He won’t approve of this.”

Aaron sits up and grabs the remote from his mother’s hands. “Go tell him! I don’t think he will hear you. He’s in his bedroom watching TV too!” 

Aaron turns the TV back on and lies back down. 

Aaron’s mother breathes deeply and gives up. She goes back into the kitchen and continues washing the dishes.

Aaron the Black Cat

Olá pessoal, no episódio de hoje eu ensino três maneiras que os brasileros utilizam para dizer NÃO de forma amigável e educada. Vocês ja utilizam algumas dessas?

Português com Thiago

3 maneiras de dizer NÃO de forma amigável

The world's a tapestry, a woven web,
Of threads unseen, where cultures ebb and flow.
A global mind, a bridge it seeks to be,
To span the gaps where differences may grow.

From bustling streets to mountain peaks so high,
Each land a song, a tale beneath the sky.
Respectful ears, to hear the stories told,
Of customs old, in traditions bold.

No single beat sets all the hearts alight,
The rhythm shifts, with shades of dark and bright.
A global mind, it dances to the sound,
Embraces all, on common ground it's found.

Beyond the words, a silent language speaks,
In smiles and nods, the meaning truth it seeks.
A global heart, with empathy takes hold,
In shared humanity, a story to unfold.

So let us break the walls that hold us tight,
With open minds, we greet the morning light.
For in this world, so vast and ever wide,
A global mind, in unity confides.

#177 ドライブで行った夕張の景色について

Dear all, 

This introduction will give you insight into how my lessons flow and what you might expect when you book a class with me. The recorded 'live' lectures that I will upload are with students that I currently teach. You will hear me ask and answer many questions, and you can practice pronunciation and improve your listening skills for free from each episode. 

My objective is for you to have the courage to book classes with me so you can speak like a native with confidence.

Thank you! 

All the best,
Duran

Say Hi English! With Teacher Duran.

Introduction to the new podcast live lessons that I will be airing. 

我还了解到另一件重要的事，
I had thus learned a second fact of great importance:


就是他老家所在的那个星球比一座房子大不了多少。
this was that the planet the little prince came from was scarcely any larger than a house!
这倒并没有使我感到太奇怪。
But that did not really surprise me much.
我知道除地球、木星、火星、金星这几个有名称的大行星以外，
I knew very well that in addition to the great planets–such as the Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Venus–to which we have given names,
还有成百个别的星球，它们有的小得很，就是用望远镜也很难看见。
there are also hundreds of others, some of which are so small that,one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope.
当一个天文学者发现了其中一个星星，他就给它编上一个号码。
When an astronomer discovers one of these he does not give it a name, but only a number.
例如把它称作“325小行星”。
He might call it, for example, "Asteroid 325."
我有重要的根据认为小王子所来自的那个星球是小行星B612。
I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B-612.
这颗小行星仅仅在1909年被一个土耳其天文学家用望远镜看见过一次。
This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909.
当时他曾经在一次国际天文学家代表大会上对他的发现作了重要的论证。
On making his discovery, the astronomer had presented it to the International Astronomical Congress, in a great demonstration.

但由于他所穿衣服的缘故，那时没有人相信他。
But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said.
那些大人们就是这样。
Grown-ups are like that
幸好，土耳其的一个独裁者，为了小行星B612的声誉，
Fortunately, however, for the reputation of Asteroid B-612,
迫使他的人民都要穿欧式服装，否则就处以死刑。
a Turkish dictator made a law that his subjects, under pain of death, should change to European costume.
1920年，这位天文学家穿了一身非常漂亮的服装，重新作了一次论证。
So in 1920 the astronomer gave his demonstration all over again, dressed with impressive style and elegance.
这一次所有的人都同意他的看法。
And this time everybody accepted his report.
我给你们讲关于小行星B612的这些细节，并且告诉你们它的编号，这是由于这些大人的缘故。
If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grown-ups and their ways.

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、「おはしも」の話(はなし)をしました。

「おはしも」とは、

・おさない
・はしらない
・しゃべらない
・もどらない
のことでしたね。

今日は、この「おはしも」をいつ習(なら)うのか話します。

私の友達(ともだち)は、学校の先生です。

彼女(かのじょ)に、いつ子供たちは「おはしも」を習うのか聞きました。

そのこたえはなんと、3さいでした。

日本の、保育園(ほいくえん)や幼稚園(ようちえん)で習います。

そして、地震(じしん)があったとき、
「おはしも」を思い出します。

私も、いつ習(なら)ったかおぼえていませんでしたが、

3歳とは、思いませんでした。

地震(じしん)が多い国なので、
ちいさいころから、練習(れんしゅう)するんですね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また、明日。
