THOUGHTS IN ANDALUSIAN SPANISH

¿Qué IDIOMA aprender DESPUÉS del ESPAÑOL?

Mr. Fat wakes up from a deep and enjoyable sleep. He rolls out of bed, leaving behind him a mattress covered with money. He walks over to his bedroom mirror and wipes oil off his face. 

“You are looking very handsome today,” says Mr. Fat, speaking to himself. “You are doing such a great job at ruling Planet Meat. Everyone loves and respects you. This planet is so lucky to have you.” 

Looking at his delicious meat hamburger, Mr. Fat says “Oh my, I’m starving. I can’t wait for breakfast. I’m going to eat my own meaty, juicy body! Hah!” 

Mr. Fat lives in a giant house made of meat, vegetables and potato chips. He is the boss of the whole meat planet. He became the boss because he has the biggest, toughest belly. Whenever someone tried to punch Mr. Fat, meat flew out of his belly and attacked his opponent. 

The fat hamburger walks over to the window. He opens his lettuce curtains and he almost faints in shock.  

“OH MY GOD!” screams Mr. Fat. He can’t believe what he’s seeing. “It’s raining tomato sauce! Yuuuuk!!”

¿Quieres un café? Do you want a coffee?

There is so much professional Business English vocabulary that we can use at work that originally came from sports! In this podcast we're talking about phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns and verbs that we can take from football, athletics, and the Olympic games, and use at work to improve the way that we communicate in English. So, if you want to express your ideas more clearly in meetings, explain your experience better in job interviews, or make your presentations sound a little more natural and native then hopefully you'll find this episode really useful. Also, if you're taking an IELTS test soon, either the general or academic test, then this is all great vocabulary to take into the exam with you. Especially for the speaking part of the test where informal, natural, and native vocabulary is encouraged!

Expresiones coloquiales con la palabra "ojo" Parte 6

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、
東京都(とうきょうと)
大阪府(おおさか)
広島県(ひろしまけん)などの、

府(ふ)や、県(けん)の話をしました！

今日はなぜ大阪と京都だけ、"県"ではなく、"府"というのか話します。

まず、昔はほかの場所(ばしょ)も"府"と言っていました。
それを1868年に、

首都(しゅと)は東京都、

重要(じゅうよう)な場所(ばしょ)として、
京都府、大阪府。

そのほかを"県"にする、

と決めたそうです。

大阪は商売(しょうばい)で大切なところでした。

京都は「京都御所」(きょうとごしょ)という、

天皇(てんのう)が、住んでいたところがあります。

なので、この２つが特別(とくべつ)だったんですね。

東京都、京都府、大阪府、
そのほかは、神奈川県、福岡県などの

"県"といいます。

あれ、もつひとつ・・

北海道(ほっかいどう)がありますね！！

北海道は、県でも、府でもありません！！

北海道もとくべつで、北海道といいます。

北海(ほっかい)ではないので、気をつけて下さいね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！
