My mom and I finish the quiz about American dialects we started last week to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.
During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.
You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!
This is only the second half of the quiz. Please listen to episode 006 Exploring American Dialects (Part One) for the first half!
And if you'd like to try the quiz yourself, it's available at the following link if you scroll to the bottom and click on 'How Y'all, Youse and You Guys Talk': https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/learning/what-does-your-accent-say-about-who-you-are.html

Cómo aprendemos idiomas los adultos

Диктант - это не самая любимая часть занятий по русскому языку у школьников, но очень полезная. Так что давайте учиться понимать русский и грамотно его записывать! 
Система будет такая. Я читаю текст два раза: в первый раз медленно, по несколько слов (ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы успеть записать), второй раз - быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно. 
На этот раз я взяла отрывок из рассказа А.П. Чехова “Весной”. У нас сейчас всё именно так, как описывает великий русский писатель. А у вас?
Отправьте мне сообщение "второй диктант готов", как только закончите, и я пришлю вам его текст для проверки. 
Удачного диктанта, друзья!

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの13回目です。まだ５月ですが、朝や昼の日差しが強くなってきました。手術の傷は塞がってきました。まだ運動はできません。午後にダンベルとスクワットをしてみたら、途中でお腹が痛くなってきたのでやめました。髪が伸びてきたのでそろそろ切りたいです。先週大学のクラスの申し込みを終わらせました。

Hello, this is episode 13 of season 2 of my podcast. It's only May, but the morning and afternoon sun is getting stronger. My surgical wounds have healed. I can't exercise yet. I tried to use some dumbbells and do some squats in the afternoon, but my stomach started hurting halfway through, so I had to stop. My hair is getting long and I want to get it cut soon. I finished registering for university classes last week.

今日は久しぶりに買い物に行きました。買い物といっても、オンラインで買おうと思っていた服を試着しに行っただけなので、実際に買い物をしたわけではありません。街には観光客や若い人がたくさんいて、平日なのにとても混んでいて驚きました。そういえば今日はゴールデンウィークでした。どこの店もセールやキャンペーンをしていました。買おうと思っていた服は写真のイメージと違ったので、他のにすることにしました。家に帰ってから、綿のパンツとTシャツをオンラインで買いました。

Today I went shopping for the first time in a while. I say shopping, but I just went to try on some clothes I was planning to buy online, so I didn't actually do any shopping. I was surprised to see so many tourists and young people in the city and it was very crowded even though it was a weekday. That reminds me, today was Golden Week. All the shops were having sales and promotions. The clothes I was going to buy were different from the image in the picture, so I decided to buy something else. When I got home I bought some cotton trousers and T-shirts online.

そういえば最近の授業で、日本語の「パンツ」のアクセントの違いについて話しました。日本語でパンツというと、ズボンと下着の二つの意味があります。私が今言っているのは、ズボンのほうのアクセントです。下着のアクセントは、パンツです。パンツ（上昇）とパンツ（下降）です。現代人が普段着ている服は西洋文化のものなので、日本語でもほとんどがカタカナです。それに合わせて、服の素材もカタカナで表現することが多いです。たとえば、「綿」や「麻」は、「コットン」や「リネン」と表記されていることがあります。どちらも同じ意味です。私は綿の服が好きです。
