nside a dimly lit cave, a group of people sit huddled around glowing amphoras. These vessels are no ordinary pottery; they're meticulously painted with images of legendary wrestlers, engaged in eternal combat. The flickering light from a small fire casts these images onto the walls, animating the wrestlers in a primitive, captivating dance of shadows.



The cave's inhabitants watch these images, interpreting the epic battles as the ultimate expression of wrestling. They debate the techniques, celebrate the victories, and mourn the defeats, all from the moving images on the amphoras. To them, these representations are the entirety of wrestling—there is no world beyond the wrestlers on the pottery.


Nikostratos, ever the curious and skeptical cat, notices a sliver of light peeking through a crack in the cave wall. The murals and their tales don't satisfy his curiosity. One day, driven by a particularly pungent smell of the outside world—a mix of fresh earth and sweat—he finds a loose stone and wiggles his way through the crack.

In questo episodio parleremo dell'influenza dei dialetti sull'italiano parlato in situazioni poco formali. Per darvi un'idea cercherò di imitare solo alcuni dei vari accenti esistenti nella penisola. La percezione delle differenze fra le varie parlate è qualcosa di soggettivo ed è fortemente influenzata dai pregiudizi linguistici di ogni singola persona. Per quanto mi riguarda, amo gli accenti e i vari dialetti che rendono più colorata e vivace la situazione linguistica della Penisola. Buon ascolto 👂

Chapter 8 Go to the Rats

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は雨。
今の気温は23℃。朝なので少し肌寒いです。

今日は北海道について紹介(しょうかい)します。



北海道の面積は、83,500㎢
人口は、516万人

道の木はエゾマツ、アカエゾマツ、
道の花はハマナス、
道の鳥はタンチョウです。

47都道府県中で唯一「道」という呼び方の場所です。
「都道府県の魅力度ランキング」で2021年では、全国で1位です。観光に行きたい場所でも1位、住みたい場所でも全国で3位と、人気がある場所です。

北海道には、アイヌという民族がいました。日本人（和人）は古代には渡嶋（わたりのしま）、近代に至るまでアイヌを蝦夷（えぞ)と呼んでいました。そして、この土地は蝦夷地（えぞち）などとよばれていました。

1869年（明治2年）、蝦夷地という名前から「北海道」とすることが決まりました。

今では、札幌市が1番人口が多くて、190万人が住んでいます。夏には観光、冬にはウインタースポーツもでき、2月には雪まつりもあります。

みなさんの北海道で好きなところがあれば、教えてくださいね。これから、少しずつ、47都道府県の紹介もしていきます。


ぜひ、日本語のレッスンで一緒にお話しましょう！
それではまた！
