from Take It Easy Japanese|Taka's bizarre adventure · host Taka – Japanese Teacher
いつもありがとうございます。今日は20回目のエピソードなので動画形式で録ってみたんですけど、スペシャルゲストもいるんですよね。僕の尊敬する日本語講師のAiko先生です。日本人は初対面の相手には特に「敬意」を伝える話し方をします。もちろん「です」「ます」を使った丁寧な話し方も良いんですが、いつもの言葉をちょっと変えるだけで更に相手に敬意を伝えることが出来ますし、相手も少し気分がいいと思うんですよね。収録中にずっと難しい話し方をしている訳ではなく、カジュアルな話し方も混ざってますので是非聞いてみて下さいね😀もっと丁寧な話し方を学びたい日本語学習者さんはAiko先生の話し方を真似するといいと思いますよ。とても丁寧な話し方をされてます。みなさんに、少しでも日本人と良い関係を築いてもらいたいな!って思って今回録ってみたんですよね🎙️ 🤙ネイティブフレーズ / Today's expressions (00:00) オープニング / Intro(03:39) 紆余曲折 (うよきょくせつ) (17:20) 筋(すじ)が通(とお)ってる(03:39)▶ 紆余曲折(うよきょくせつ) :twists and turns /It's been a journey. / A lot happened along the way.例:「この土地にも紆余曲折の歴史があってね」"This region has had its share of twists and turns throughout history."(17:20)▶ 筋(すじ)が通(とお)ってる "He's a stand-up guy." / "He's a man of principle." 例:「あいつは筋を通すやつだ🕶️」Thanks for always listening!Today is our 20th episode, so I tried recording it in video format — and we've got a special guest, too! It's Aiko-sensei, a Japanese teacher I really look up to.In Japan, we use especially respectful speech when we meet someone for the first time. Of course, polite speech using desu and masu is great — but just by changing your everyday words a little, you can show even more respect to the other person, and honestly, it makes them feel good too. We're not speaking in difficult, formal Japanese the whole time — there's plenty of casual talk mixed in, so please give it a listen! 😀For Japanese learners who want to speak more politely, I'd recommend copying Aiko-sensei's way of speaking.Her speech is so beautifully polite.I recorded this one hoping it'll help all of you build even a little bit of a better relationship with the Japanese people you meet! 🎙️
