タイムリーなわだい

Mel talks about...? Timely? What's a good time to talk about? Let's find out what she's talking about!

She's using grammar points from Genki 1/2. Simple and Easy, but some of the sentences would be a little challenging because she combines different grammar points in a sentence,  which Japanese people do all the time.

Tanscript 

トレイラーをきいてくれたひとは しっているとおもいますが、 このポッドキャストでは ゆっくりはなすのと ふつうに はなすことにしています

でも さいきんつくっている エピソードは ちょっとながくなって

きてしまったんです。

ながすぎると きいているひとが つかれちゃうでしょ?

だから ながいエピソードは 1かいだけ ゆっくり はなすことにしようと

おもいます

みじかいのは いままでみたいに 2かい はなそうとおもいます

Im going to talk about the change of my podcast.

As you probably know from a trailer that I speak twice slowly and with a natural speed.

But recent episodes are getting longer.

I’m going to speak only once slowly if the episode is long because if it’s too long maybe it’s going to be too much(or you get tired), I guess. Right?

I’ll say twice if the episode is short, slowly and with a natural speed.

I was teaching English to kids when I lived in Japan

Kids and I had a Halloween party in the class.

We made jack o lanterns, sang songs, played games, and chose the cutest costume in the class.

When we had around 10 people in the party, all the girls were wearing a dress like Cinderella or Bell’s except for one girl. She was wearing a devil costume which she and her mom made together.

Her costume was super cute  and everyone was saying that it was the cutest In the class.

Her costume was the most popular one.

I also thought hers was the cutest.

It was so much fun having juice and snacks together.

Did you wear a costume for Halloween?

What kind of costume was it?

What are you going to do for Halloween this year?
