Name of Days In Urdu

 今年夏天很特别，从中国到外国，北方到南方，天气都非常热，温度也特别高。比如上海，夏天一般在三十五度左右。可是今年夏天有多热呢？最热的那段时间差不多每天都有四十多度。大家都说，这是最近二十年最热的夏天。有的专家说这是因为气候变化，环境被破坏了，以后全世界每年都会有这种不正常的天气，我们必须开始重视保护环境了。

In Shanghai, for example, it's usually around 35 degrees in summer. But how hot will it be this summer? During the hottest days, it was more than 40 degrees every day.

スペイン語のレッスンと異常気象

私は毎日30分、スペイン語の会話レッスンをしています。スペイン語を勉強し始めたのはコロナで家に出られない期間、何か新しいことをはじめたかったからです。だから、コロナが落ち着いてから勉強をサボってしまって前より下手になってしまいました。今でも前の方がスペイン語が上手に話せたと思っていますが、毎日話すことで少しずつ自信を取り戻しています。

さて、今日のレッスンはパナマに住んでいる先生とのレッスンでした。現在パナマでは北部で台風がきていて、洪水などの被害が深刻だそうです。家の天井まで水に浸ってしまった家もあるようです。そこで話題になったのが最近の異常気象です。パナマではこのような台風は珍しいそうです。実は今年、私の住んでいる町でも洪水があり、全国紙に載るほどの被害がありました。私の町でも洪水はとても珍しいので、ニュースを見て驚きました。（私はその時、タイにいました。）

最近ではスペインでもバレンシア州で洪水があり、たくさんの犠牲者が出ていますよね。その他にも日本語の生徒さんの国でも異常気象というキーワードが出ることが多いです。言語を通して色々な国のことを自分の国のニュースで読むだけでなく、その国のニュースサイトで読んだり、その国の人から直接教えてもらうことができるのは言語学習の魅力の大きな一つですよね！スペイン語を勉強していてよかったなーと思った瞬間でした。

スペイン語のレッスンと異常気象

In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.
