はい、こんにちは　今回はポッドキャストのシーズン3の6回目です。大阪は最近暑いです。夏は気分が明るくなるのでいいですね。先月は二人の生徒さんが旅行で大阪に来たので、一緒に夕食を食べに行きました。とても楽しかったです。

Hello. This is episode 6 of season 3 of my podcast. It's getting quite warm in Osaka. Summer is good because it brightens up my mood. Last month two different students of mine came to Osaka on holiday, so I went out to dinner with each of them. We had a lot of fun.

私は最近よくカフェに行きます。私はいままであまりカフェに行きませんでした。時間やお金の無駄だと思っていたからです。しかし家でずっと仕事をしていると、気分転換が難しい時があります。仕事がある日は、気分転換をしたくても、遠くに出かけられません。そんなときにカフェはちょうどいいです。30分カフェにいるだけで、遠くに出かけた気持ちになれるからです。

I often go to cafes these days. I didn’t use to go to cafes very often because I thought it was a waste of time and money. However, when I am working at home all the time, it is sometimes difficult to take a break. On days when I have to work, even if I want to take a break, I can't go that far. A café is just right for such a situation, because even just 30 minutes in a café makes me feel like I have gone far away from home.

私の家の近くにはたくさんカフェがあります。ほとんどのカフェは、自家焙煎をしています。自家とは、他のサービスを使わずに自分たちだけですることです。焙煎とは、コーヒー豆をローストすることです。なので、コーヒーの味がカフェによって違います。大阪は日本で一番カフェが多い県だそうです。東京よりも多いです。大阪では第二次世界大戦より前からコーヒーが人気で、昔からカフェがたくさんあったそうです。

There are many cafes near my house. Most of these cafes do jikabaisen. Jika (home/own-) means that they do it by themselves without using other services. Baisen (roasting) means roasting coffee beans. Therefore, the taste of the coffee differs from cafe to cafe. It is said that Osaka is the Japanese prefecture with the most cafes. It has even more than Tokyo. Coffee was popular in Osaka before World War II, and there have been many cafes there for a long time.

家でおいしいコーヒーを作るのは大変なので、カフェは便利ですね。はい、じゃあ今日はこんな感じで終わりたいと思います。また次回お会いしましょう。どうもありがとうございました。

Making good coffee at home is a real pain, so cafes are convenient. Well, I think that’s it for today. See you next time and thanks for listening!

Japanese Lessons with Mayuna

S3E6. 近所のカフェ

はい、こんにちは。今回は Podcast の12回目です。12回目なんですけれども、今回初めてitalkiで配信することになったので、まずは簡単に説明をしたいと思います。

Hello, This is the podcast episode 12, and since this is the first time I’m going to be broadcasting on italki, I’d like to give a brief explanation first.

私の名前はMayunaです。2018年からitalkiで日本語を教えています。コミュニティに記事も投稿しています。ポッドキャストは去年の11月に始めました。私の日々の出来事を、日本人がよく使う自然な表現を使って、３分程度でお話ししてます。中級者向けぐらいの内容です。すべてのエピソードにトランスクリプトと英訳がついていて、グーグルポッドキャストでも聞くことができます。毎週更新しています。

My name is Mayuna and I’ve been teaching Japanese at italki since 2018. I also contribute articles to the community. I started the podcast last November. I talk about my daily life in about 3 minutes, using natural expressions commonly used by Japanese people. The content is for intermediate level users. All episodes have a transcript and English translation, and you can listen to them on Google Podcast. It is updated weekly.

今日はレッスンが午後からだったので、午前中はスーパーに買い物に行きました。この Podcast を録音するのが火曜日なので、その録音のために、私はいつものど飴を買います。のど飴というのは、世界中に同じようなものがあるかどうか分からないですけど、ハーブなどが入っている飴で、声がよく出るようにするものです。

Today’s lesson was in the afternoon, so I went to the supermarket in the morning to do some shopping. Since I record this podcast on Tuesdays, I always buy throat lozenges for the recording. I don’t know if there are similar products all over the world, but lozenges are candies that contain herbs and other ingredients to help you speak better.

最近いつも買っている飴の味に飽きてきたので、今日は違う飴を買ったんですね。今日買ったのど飴は蜂蜜と生姜が入っていて、添加物が入っていない、すごく美味しいものだったんですけど、美味しすぎて、普通におやつとして食べてしまうので、のど飴としてはあまりいい選択じゃなかったなと、少し後悔しています。そしてそのときになんとなく、ことわざを思い出しました。

I recently got tired of the taste of the lozenges I always buy, so I bought a different one today. The throat lozenges I bought today contained honey and ginger, no additives, and were very tasty, but they were so tasty that I ended up eating them as a regular snack, so I regretted a little that they were not a good choice for the original purpose. And then I somehow remembered a proverb.

12. 良薬口に苦し

Wie heißen eigentlich all diese Gegenstände in der Küche? Und die passenden Verben? 
In dieser Folge findest du einige alltägliche Wörter und Formulierungen, die beim Sprachenlernen oft nicht auftauchen...

zum Mitlesen:

Ich gehe hungrig in die Küche, nehme eine Salatschüssel und eine Reibe aus dem Schrank und beginne eine Möhre und eine Rote Beete zu reiben. Den Salat schmecke ich mit Zitronensaft und Salz ab – oh ja, genau so soll er sein!
Dann stelle die Suppe von gestern auf den Herd. Mit einer Kelle rühre ich hin und wieder in der Suppe, damit sie gleichmäßig warm wird. Während sie langsam heiß wird, nehme ich einen tiefen Teller aus dem Schrank und Besteck aus der Schublade. Ich mag es, wenn alles seinen Platz hat und ich nichts suchen muss!
Die Suppe beginnt zu kochen. Ich rieche den leckeren Duft und freue mich schon aufs Essen. Ich rühre die Suppe noch mal um und gieße sie dann vorsichtig Kelle für Kelle in den Teller. Die heiße Suppe dampft.
Nun schneide ich Brot in Scheiben. Ich lege die Brotscheiben auf einen kleinen Teller neben meinem Suppenteller. Mit dem Messer schmiere ich ein bisschen Butter auf eine Brotscheibe und streue ein bisschen Salz darauf.
Ich setze mich an den Tisch und nehme den Löffel in die Hand. Zuerst probiere ich die Suppe. Sie ist genau richtig: nicht zu heiß und nicht zu kalt. Dann tunke ich das Butterbrot in die Suppe und beiße hinein. Es schmeckt wunderbar zusammen mit der Suppe und dem Salat. 
In Ruhe esse und genieße ich die Mahlzeit. Danach fühle ich mich satt und zufrieden. Ich räume den Tisch ab und spüle das Geschirr. Jetzt kann ich mich entspannen und den restlichen Tag genießen.


Die kleine Dosis Deutsch

Wortschatz: in der Küche

Mum: Hi remember me?

Dad: Oh yeah, aren’t you wait, aren’t you the mother of my children?

Mum: Yes, how are you doing? Haven’t seen you in a while! 

Dad: Now I’ve put them to bed, I’m great! 

Mum: Today was exhausting!

Dad: Tell me about it. What time were you up?

Mum: About 4:30. I need that early morning time to get myself together and actually do some work before it all goes to hell.

Dad: Every night, I tell myself I’m going to do that, and every morning when the alarm goes off, I tell myself I need just a few more minutes of sleep.

Mum: You’re a night owl, I’m an early bird, it’s just how we are.

Dad: But I want to be an early bird and watch TV at night instead of doing the work I need to do. By the way, thanks for helping me out today. I owe you. Tomorrow, they’re mine.

Mum: It’s fine. Apart from when Justin dropped his yogurt, I think it went pretty well.

Dad: Oh, I don’t think anyone even noticed the screaming child while I was presenting – and if they did, they probably didn’t want to say anything in case they have their own children screaming on call in the future.

Mum: I don’t think I’m convinced about this hybrid working situation. Don’t get me wrong, I love not having to commute every day. With my job, that’s easily two hours of the day I get back. But organizing myself and kids and work?

Dad: Yeah, it’s a challenge. Some days I feel on top of it all, but there are days when I feel like I’m a terrible employee, a terrible father and a terrible husband.

Mum: (with joking intonation) Oh honey, don’t think like that. Trust me, you’re a terrible husband EVERY day, not just some days.

Dad: Just for that, I’m not going to tell you where Becky hid the chocolate Nutella.

Mum: I’ll just go and buy more.

Dad: or the car keys

Mum: Fine. You’re a wonderful husband on most days.

Dad: I’ll be wonderful tomorrow while you’re in your meeting. What are you doing again?

Mum: I’m just leading the meeting, but the CEO is going to be there.
