Dynamic English is about speaking confidently with a growth mindset and mastering the subtle and sometimes unspoken cultural rules about what to say, when to say it at work, and expressions to avoid.

La motivación

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.

旅館の　朝ごはんと　私が　いつも　食べる　朝ごはんは　まったく　ちがいます。どんな　朝ごはんを　食べているでしょうか。焼きそばパンってどんなパンでしょうか。
The breakfast I usually eat is completely different from one at the Ryokan-Japanese style hotel. What do you think I eat for breakfast? What kind of bread is Yakisoba-pan?

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は
前回に続いて、関西弁の話をしようかなと思います。

関西弁、といえばどんな言葉が有名なんやろ。

ベタ
コテコテ
せやねん

今日はとりあえずこんな言葉を紹介しますね。

ベタ
　これは、漫才とかでもよく出てきますね。
お笑いから関西弁に浸透したのかはわからないですが、ま、関西人ならだいたい知ってると思います。ペンキを壁一面に塗るようなことをベタ塗り、と言いますが、それからきてるみたいですね。ベタ塗りー一面にならす、とか、変化がない、とかおもしろみがない→ひねりがない、普通→普通でおもしろくないみたいな意味ですね。　
　
　なんやねん、君は！ベタなこと言うて。
　ベタなんやけど、めっちゃお好み焼きすきやねん。　
　

コテコテ
　これも少しベタに似てる表現ですね。
こってりからきてるみたいですね。濃厚でくどいさま。こってり。という様な意味みたいです。

　コテコテな関西弁使うて。なんやねん君は！
　自分、ほんまコテコテな関西弁使うなー。

せやねん
　標準語なら、そうなんです。ですかね。
それが関西弁だとせやねん、になります。

　せやねん。昨日めっちゃ寒かったわ。
　さっきからせやねん、せやねん言うて。なんやねん君は！


　例文が参考にならなくなって来ましたね笑

ということで、今回はかなりベタな関西弁3つを紹介しました。関西に住んでなくても、会話中に使ってみると結構おもしろいですよ！

　また関西弁シリーズ、しますね！

　関西弁の話とかしたい方は、ぜひオンラインでお話しましょう！お待ちしてますね！
　
　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！
