My frined, Renata and I both work as a tour guide before Covid 19.
Now she's trying new tour, so I interviewed about it.
(first 10 second is no sound. sorry.)
italki Online Japanese teacher Tatsuki and I talks about Italy. He lives in Italy now, so we talk about the language and life.
On last podcast, I talked about what we do to prepare for the new year. Today, I talk about after new year come, what we do.
(From japan-guide.com)
New Year (正月, shōgatsu) is the most important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.
Years are traditionally viewed as completely separate, with each new year providing a fresh start. Consequently, all duties are supposed to be completed by the end of the year, while bonenkai parties (忘年会"year forgetting parties") are held with the purpose of leaving the old year's worries and troubles behind.
Homes and entrance gates are decorated with ornaments made of pine, bamboo and plum trees, and clothes and houses are cleaned. （大掃除 big cleaning)
On New Year's eve, toshikoshi soba (年越しそば buckwheat noodles), symbolizing longevity, are served. A more recent custom is watching the music show "kohaku uta gassen", a highly popular television program featuring many of Japan's most famous J-pop and enka singers in spectacular performances.
Today, online Japanese teacher, Tatsuki and Akari talks about international marriage. (国際結婚 こくさいけっこん）
日本のクリスマスとお正月は北米と逆だなと感じます。日本はクリスマスがパーティー、サンタクロースのイメージ。お正月はもう少し神聖で家族で集まったり。
I feel Japanese Christmas and New Year's Holidays are opposite from north America. Christmas is festival feeling, and New Year's holiday are more holy feeling, and we gather with our family.

Normally we say 1月、2月、3月（January, February, March) in standard Japanese.
But we used to use lunar calendar before, and at that time, we have other words to describe month of the year.
For example, 弥生（やよい、yayoi) =March, 皐月（さつき、satsuki）＝May, 葉月(はづき、hazuki).
My favorite one is 神無月(かんなづき, kannazuki, meaning=God, no, month).
Only Shimane prefecture where Izumo-shrine is they call 神在月（かみありづき、kamiarizuki, mean=God, there, month)

I think if you have good ears, it helps you to learn foreign language.
I have a friend who has small son, and she asked me "How can I make him learn English?"

Thank you for all the people who choose me as a teacher,
being my friend, visiting me in Japan, keeping in touch, and
keep inspiring me.
オンラインで日本語を教えた人の数が400人になりました。4年前の熊本地震の時も、今も、この仕事に救われています。オンライン教育の素晴らしさを多くの人に伝えたいです。出会えたすべての人に感謝します💌
Thank you for italki team that providing me the wonderful opportunity
to meet and connect amazing people across the world.
This job always helping me in the tough situations.
Four years ago, M7 earthquake hit my hometown Kumamoto,
and my mom and I escape from there. We drive to north, then jump
up to the train, and find accommodation that night.
Nobody can make money the next day that happens, but I arrived a hotel and did a lessons next day. It took more than a few months to fix life, but thanks to this job, I could survived financially.
This time also. My main job was a tour guide in Kyoto, but because of the virus, all the tour was canceled from the end of February. But thanks to this job, I could meet amazing people everyday, teach and chat. I can stay mentally healthy, and financially safely.
I love this job. Teaching Japanese is my calling.
Arigato everyone 💌

Japan has lots of dialects.
I think one of the reason why we have so many dialects are, mountains.
Actually 73% (I said 80%, but actually 73%) of the land in Japan are mountains.
Mountains divide villages, that made various dialects.
