Stories to Stimulate!

The Butler - by Roald Dahl

Spesso quando studiamo una lingua straniera, per ovvie ragioni pratiche, facciamo ampio utilizzo della traduzione, servendoci un dizionario bilingue, (gli amanti dell'analogico) o di un dizionario online (gli amanti del virtuale), o come nel mio caso di entrambi. il più delle volte la traduzione dei singoli elementi da una lingua all'altra funziona, grazie al duro lavoro di linguisti e traduttori, ma ci sono alcune volte nelle quali rendere esattamente lo stesso significato da una lingua all'altra non è così facile... Buon ascolto!

社会人(shakaijin) vs Membro della società 

ドイツ人はとてもアイスが好きです。どの町にもアイスカフェが数軒あります。一年中、外でアイスを食べている人を見かけます。三月はまだ寒いですが、天気がいい日にはカフェのテラス席でたくさんの人がアイスを食べています。
ちなみに私はドイツであまりアイスを食べません。イタリアに行った時にジェラートをたくさん食べるからです。
日本ではコンビニでアイスを買う人が多いと思います。私のお気に入りのアイスはもちの中にバニラアイスが入っている雪見大福（ゆきみだいふく）とハーゲンダッツの抹茶味です。
みなさんはどんなアイスが好きですか？

ちなみに：by the way
ハーゲンダッツ：Häagen-Dazs (American ice cream brand)


Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

ドイツ人はアイス好き？

New portion of Russian tongue twisters!
This time let’s specifically focus on really tricky Russian sounds that are confusing for many foreigners – [ч], [ш], [щ]. 
I'll recite each tongue twister twice: once at a slow pace and then gradually closer to a normal speed.

четЫре чЁрненьких чумАзеньких чертЁнка чертИли чЁрными чернИлами чертЁж чрезвычАйно чИсто. (ч,р)

сАша шУстро сУшит сУшки,
сУшек вЫсушил штук шесть,
и смешнО спешАт старУшки
сУшек сАшиных поЕсть. (ш,с)

хрящ хрустЯщий у щенкА, он хрустИт хрящОм покА. (щ,х)

Try to articulate them as clearly as possible, please don’t chase the speed. Good luck!

Russian tongue twisters - part 5

▼Script
日本語って短く略（りゃく）すのが多いんだけど、今日それを考えてたのね。そしたら結構 略してる言葉がたくさんあって、発音するのが難しいな～とか長いな～とか思ってる人がいたら本当使ってほしい！

Japanese is often abbreviated in short sentences, and I was thinking about that today. I found a lot of words that are abbreviated.I really want people to use them if they find them difficult to pronounce or too long!


まず、タイトルにも書いてるんだけど、「ポケモン」ね。これって「ポケットモンスター」の略なの。そして「マクドナルド」は「マック」っていうんだけど、大阪の人は「マクド」っていうよ。「マクドナルド」の発音が難しかったら「マックどこですか？」って言えばOKだよ。

First of all, the title says it all: "Pokemon”. It stands for "Pocket Monster”. And "McDonald's" is called "Makku," but people in Osaka call it "makudo”. If you have difficulty pronouncing "McDonald's," say, "Where is Makku?(Makku wa doko desuka?) It's OK if you say.


あと「ケンタッキーフライドチキン」は「ケンタ」、「ユニバーサルスタジオジャパン」は「ユニバ」、「スターバックス」は「スタバ」....うーん、あと、、、コンビニの「セブンイレブン」は「セブン」、「ファミリーマート」は「ファミマ」、「ローソン」は...略しません！「ローソン」は「ローソン」だよ！

And "Kentucky Fried Chicken" is "Kenta", "Universal Studios Japan" is "Yuniba", and "Starbucks" is "Sutaba". .... Ummm...also...convenience stores "7-Eleven" is "Seven", "Family Mart" is "Famima", "Lawson" is... They don't abbreviate! Lawson is "Lawson"!


あと「タピオカを飲む」は「タピる」、「あー、なるほどね」は「あーね」とかも言うよ！

We also say "tapiru" for "drink tapioca (Tapioka wo nomu)" and "ah, I see(a—, naruhodone)" for "a–—ne"!


あとあとアイスクリームの「バスキン・ロビンス(Baskin-Robbins)」ってあるじゃん？もし日本で「バスキン・ロビンスどこですか？」って言っても日本人わからないんだよね。「サーティーワン(31)どこですか？」ってきいたらわかるよ！

And there is also an ice cream shop called "Baskin-Robbins", right? If you ask, "Where is Baskin-Robbins?(Baskin-Robbins wa doko desuka?)" in Japan, the Japanese don't understand. If you ask "Where is Thirty One?(Thirty One wa doko desuka?)", The Japanese will understand!
