2022年8月31日(水)今日の天気は晴れのち曇り、気温は29度です。
実はハンガリー旅行のあとでコロナに感染しちゃったんですけど,その時からのどが少し変です。時々,話しにくくなります。
Actually, I caught covid after my trip to Hungary, and since then my throat has been a little strange. It sometimes feels difficult to talk.
まぁでも大丈夫です。なので,今日のPodcastではゆっくり話しますよ〜。

今日のトピックは,外国語です。
日本人にとって・・私にとって,「外国語」とは何かについて話そうと思います。
I would like to talk about what "foreign language" is to the Japanese people, and to me.
おもしろそうだけど,ちょっと難しいトピックですね〜。
外国語は,外国の言語。Foreign languageです。
日本の学校では,必ず英語を習います。
最近は小学校から英語を教え始めるらしいですよ。
必ず:100%, surely, certainly
習う:to learn
〜らしい:I hear that, I heard of that, I know that…
教える:to teach
In Japanese schools, learning English is mandatory.
I have heard of that some school start teaching English from elementary school.
みんなテストのために英語を勉強するからね,あんまり話す練習をしないんです。
だから日本人は英語を話すのがあんまり得意じゃないです。
〜のために:for something
練習:practice
得意:be good at something
でも日本人はいつも「英語話したい」「英語が上手になりたい」「英語ペラペラになりたい」って言っていますね。
私も同じです。「英語がもっと上手になりたい!」といつも思っています。
なんででしょうね??
The Japanese, including me, always want to improve English skill! I always think about it. Why is that?
じゃあ,他の言語はどうでしょうか?
What about other languages?
例えば,スペイン語とか,フランス語とか,中国語,ドイツ語,イタリア語,韓国語・・・
あとはどんな言語があるかな・・・。ベトナム語,タイ語・・・チェコ語・・・
色々な言語がありますよね。もちろん,日本でも色々な言語を勉強できますよ。
特に,スペイン語,中国語,韓国語などは割と人気だと思います。
Especially Spanish, Chinese, and Korean are relatively popular, I think.
割と:relatively
たぶんね,将来仕事で役に立つからだよね。
Probably because it will be useful in the future at work.
たぶん:maybe
将来:in the future
役に立つ:useful
だって,スペイン語はスペインだけじゃなくて,ポルトガルとかブラジルとか,あとは〜・・・メキシコとか,あとは色々なアフリカの国でもスペイン語が話されていますからね。
スペイン語を知っていたら,色々な国の人と一緒に仕事ができるチャンスがあるんですね。
だって:because (casual way)
〜だけじゃなくて:not only ….
話す 話されている:to be spoken (passive form)
仕事ができる:you can work
Because Spanish is not only spoken in Spain, but also in Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and many other African countries.
If you know Spanish, you have a chance to work with people from those various countries.
!!▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼!!
I mixed up Spanish and Portuguese!
I have explained that the countries where Spanish is spoken are Portugal and Brazil, which is incorrect.
Also, there are very few African countries where Spanish is spoken.
My apologies.
Thanks to all the listeners who corrected me!

そう。だからスペイン語が人気なの。
それから,中国語と韓国語もね,将来仕事で役に立ちそうだから人気なんだと思います。
Chinese and Korean language are also popular because they are likely to be useful in the future in the workplace.
ただ個人的には,中国語を話せたらなんかかっこいい感じがする。なんでか分からないけど,中国語ってなんかかっこいい。なんか・・・スマートな感じ。笑
Personally, however, I feel like it would be cool if I could speak Chinese.
韓国語もいいよね。韓国語はちょっと可愛い感じ。
KpopとかKドラマの印象が強いから,韓国語を話す人はかわいいしフレンドリーなイメージがあります。
Because of my strong impression of Kpop and K-dramas, people who speak Korean are cute and friendly, for me.
どうですか?
みなさんにとって外国語はどんなイメージがありますか?
どんな外国語が話せますか?
そしてどんな外国語を話したいですか?
今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。じゃあまたね。

Today's topic is foreign languages.
I would like to talk about what "foreign language" means to me.
It sounds interesting, but it is a bit difficult topic.
A foreign language is a foreign language.
In Japanese schools, students always learn English.
I heard that they start teaching English from elementary school these days.
I have heard of that some schools start teaching English from elementary school.
That's why Japanese people are not very good at speaking English.
But Japanese people always say "I want to speak English," "I want to be good at English," "I want to be fluent in English.
I am the same way. I always want to be better at English! I am always thinking "I want to be better at English!
Why is that?
What about other languages?
For example, Spanish, French, Chinese, German, Italian, Korean...
What about other languages...? Vietnamese, Thai... Czech...
There are many languages, aren't there? Of course, you can study many languages in Japan, too.
Especially Spanish, Chinese, and Korean are popular.
Probably because it will be useful in the future.
Probably because Spanish is not only spoken in Spain, but also in Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and many other African countries.
If you know Spanish, you have a chance to work with people from many different countries.
Yes, that's why Spanish is so popular. That's why Spanish is so popular.
Chinese and Korean language are also popular because they may be useful in the future.
Personally, however, I feel it would be cool if I could speak Chinese. I don't know why, but Chinese is kind of cool. It's kind of... smart. LOL.
Korean is good, too. Korean is kind of cute.
Because of my strong impression of Kpop and K-dramas, I have an image that Korean speakers are cute and friendly.
What do you think?
What kind of image do you have of foreign languages?
What foreign languages can you speak?
And what foreign language would you like to speak?
Thank you for listening to me today. See you later.
