Akari's Heart Read Aloud
Akari has been keeping a personal journal for years that captures her thoughts and feelings about her daily life on Maui, Hawaii. The journal will be read in both Japanese and English, so if you want to improve your listening and speaking skills in either language, this podcast will provide a rich source of learning material. At the end of each episode, we will explain a couple of vocabulary words and idioms from the episode. It will be like listening to someone’s diary. Each episode is about 20 minutes long, so we hope you can listen while you do your house chores, commute to work or school, during your lunch break, etc. Visit AkariTranslations.com, and you will see both English and Japanese transcripts.
ハワイのマウイ島に暮らすあかりが、日々感じたこと、想ったことを英語と日本語でつづったものを読みあげます。英語を学ばれている方にも、日本語を学ばれている方にとっても、リスニングの力を伸ばす助けになるかと思います。誰かの日記を聞くようなものと思っていただければ、分かりやすいかなと思います。それぞれのエピソードの最後には出てきた単語や慣用語の説明もあります。どれも20分ほどのエピソードなので、家事や通勤・通学をしながら、もしくはお昼休みなどに聞いていただければと思います。AkariTranslations.comでは原文が英語と日本語の両方で読めるようになっています。
