〈#6〉　食べたら酔いそうな食べ物はな〜んだ？

N3からN2の日本語が勉強できる歌を、AIで作りました。

歌詞はこちら↓
(verse 1)
あの時　あなたが言った言葉
今でも　心に残っている
「もしも違ったらどうする？」
迷ったけれど　進んでみた
(chorus)
あの時の選択が　今に繋がってる
振り返ると　その答えは間違っていなかった
もしも　もう少し勇気を出していれば
もっと早く気づけたかもしれないけれど
(verse 2)
季節が変わって　何かが変わる
あの頃の私は　もういないけれど
「今の私を見てほしい」
過去の自分に　伝えたくなる
(chorus)
あの時の選択が　今に繋がってる
過ぎた時間に　意味があったんだと感じる
もしも　違う道を選んでいたら
今はどうなっていたのだろうと考えるけど
(outro)
変わることを恐れずに　歩き続ける
これからも　新しい自分に出会えるはず
今はまだ　先が見えなくても
きっと　新しい未来が待っている

Describe a story somebody told you and you remember

You should say:

Who told you the story
What the story was about
Why do you remember it

And explain how you felt about it.







“I guess I probably heard many stories back when I was a little kid, but the one that has always stuck in my mind is a story my grandfather told me when I was maybe about 7 or 8 years of age. My grandfather, who was an incredibly kind and loving person was however,  a man of few words…but when he had something to say, it was usually something worth remembering, and something very interesting about his own life growing up back in the day.

I remember it was Christmas time when he told me this story about his life, when he was about the same age as I was at the time, and how life was so different back then. He told me how when he was growing up, the family were very hard up and often strapped for cash, and were not able to have a proper Christmas dinner like most families today. 

He went on to tell me how both of his parents had to work every god given hour, pinching every penny, so they could just put enough food to survive on the table.

It’s a story I have always remembered, and often think about, even today. It reminds me of how lucky and privileged I was growing up, in a pretty well off family, never wanting for anything. I still feel thankful to this day, when i stop to think of the sacrifices that my grandparents and their parents before them had to make so we can live the lives we have today.


Thank you…”

Describe a story somebody told you and you remember

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ, episode 2. 

One way to say “how are you?” in Persian is to use, “chetor i?” and, “chetor in?”.

We use “chetor i”, with the “i” ending, when we’re talking to one person in an informal setting, for example when talking to a friend or family.

And we use “chetor in”, with the “in” ending, either when we’re talking to one person in a formal setting, or to more than one person in both formal and informal situations. 

It's also very common in person to ask, “khub i?” and, “khub in?” when we're greeting each other.

“Khub” means “good”, “well”, or “fine”, so “khub i?” and “khub in?” literally mean, “are you fine?” or, “are you doing well?”

You can also put “khub i?” and “khub in?” together with “chetor i?” and “chetor in?”, and greet each other like this: 

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i? (Informal, Singular)

Or

Salām! Chetor in? Khub in? (Formal / Plural)

We can answer “chetor i?” and “khub i?” with, “khub am, merci!” and, “khub am, kheili mamnun!”, or, “bad nistam, merci!” and, “bad nistam, kheili mamnun!”.

And then we can ask, “to chetor i?” and, “to khub i?” or, “shomā chetor in?” and, “shomā khub in?”.

Now let’s practice! 

Dialogue 1

Salām! Chetor i? 
Salām! Khub am, merci! To chetor i?
Khub am, kheili mamnun! 

Dialogue 2

Salām! Chetor i? Khub i?
Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Khub am, merci! 

Persian Script

سَلام: hello, hi
چِطوری / چِطورین: how are you
خوبی / خوبین: are you fine, are you doing well
خوبَم: I'm fine
بَد نیستَم: I'm not bad
مِرسی: thanks
خِیلی مَمنون: thank you so much

Latin Script 

Salām: hello, hi
Chetor i? / Chetor in?: how are you?
Khub i? / Khub in?: are you fine?, are you doing well?
Khub am: I’m fine
Bad nistam: (I’m) not bad
Merci: thanks
Kheil mamnun: thank you so much

I'm going to talk about what I usually eat here in Japan.   You can find what ordinary Japanese people eat in our daily lives at this podcast "きょう　なに　たべた？(What did you eat today?)"
It's February 11th today. I ate a boiled fish for the dinner. 
***************************************************
「今日　何食べた？」というテーマで、日本人である私がどんなものを食べているのかをこのpodcastで紹介していきます。
今日は2月11日（土）　晴れ　最高気温は11℃　そんなに寒くないです。
さて、今日の夕食のメニューは　白米のごはん　たけのことわかめの煮物、小松菜とちくわの煮物、マナガツオの煮つけ、ナスのみそ汁です。　
実は、たけのこは調理済みのものを買ってきて、家で温め直してワカメを加えただけです。　みそ汁もレトルトで、食べる直前にお湯を注いで混ぜるだけです。　手抜きしました。一からちゃんと自分で調理したのは、小松菜とちくわの煮物とマナガツオの煮つけです。小松菜は、見た目はホウレンソウにちょっと似たお野菜です。だし、しょうゆ、みりんで味付けします。ほんのり甘く　薄目の味付けが私の好みです。
さて、メインディッシュのマナガツオの煮つけですが、これはやわらかい白身のお魚です。
骨も取りやすいので食べやすいです。しょうゆ、砂糖、酒、水で煮るんですが、魚の臭みを消すために、しょうがの薄切りも入れます。　魚の煮つけはだいたい甘い醤油味です。これが白いご飯にとても合います。　実は私はあまり魚は好きではないんですが、このマナガツオだけは子どものころから好きでした。　魚は部位によっては骨が多くて食べにくいところがあります。でも、子供のころ、いつも食べやすいしっぽのほうをもらっていました。大人になった今も、私は　頭のほうじゃなくてしっぽのほうを食べています。
昔に比べたら、マナガツオの値段もずいぶん高くなっていますが、たまに新鮮なものが
お店の棚に並んだときは、「あ！今日はこれ食べよう！」と即決で買っています。
「今日、何食べた？」　2月11日の私の夕食は以上です。みなさんは何を食べましたか？
