- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back. I can't believe we've been talking about autumn festivals for a few episodes now. Luna: I know, it's been so much fun. I feel like I'm really getting the hang of all these food words. Lucas: That's awesome. And since we've covered a lot, I thought today we could do a quick review. Just to make sure it all sticks. Luna: Good idea. I definitely need to review. My brain is full of festival stuff. Lucas: Let's start with the basics. Remember the word for festival? It's お祭り. Luna: お祭り. That's right, festival. Lucas: And what do you find at a festival? Stalls, right? That's 屋台. Luna: 屋台. I love wandering around the 屋台. So many smells. Lucas: Exactly. Then we have the food. One of the most popular festival foods is たこ焼き. Octopus balls. Luna: たこ焼き. They’re so good, especially with that sauce and mayo. Lucas: Another classic is 焼きそば. Fried noodles. Luna: 焼きそば. I could eat that every day, honestly. Lucas: And of course, the sweet treat. Candied apples, りんご飴. Luna: りんご飴. So shiny and crunchy. I always end up with sticky hands. Lucas: Worth it, right? Now, if you want to order something at a festival, you might say 甘酒をください. Please give me sweet sake. Luna: 甘酒をください. That's a mouthful, but I remember it. Lucas: And after you take a bite, you say おいしいです. It's delicious. Luna: おいしいです. That's probably my favorite phrase. Lucas: Let's put it all together. Imagine you're at a festival. What do you say when you see all the stalls? Luna: Umm... お祭りは楽しいですね. The festival is fun, isn't it? Lucas: Perfect. And if you're hungry, you might say たこ焼きをください. Please give me takoyaki. Luna: たこ焼きをください. I'll use that for sure. Lucas: You know, Luna, we've been having so much fun with these episodes, and I'm glad people are enjoying them. We keep them ad-free because we believe in making language learning accessible. Luna: Yeah, it's great that there are no interruptions. Just us and the language. Lucas: If you want to support that, there's a link where you can buy us a coffee. It's buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: That's a nice way to keep the show going. No pressure, but every bit helps. Lucas: Alright, back to the festival. Let's review one more time. How do you say 'festival'? Luna: お祭り. Lucas: And 'stall'? Luna: 屋台. Lucas: Good. Now, 'takoyaki' and 'yakisoba'. Luna: たこ焼き, 焼きそば. Lucas: And the sweet one? Luna: りんご飴. Lucas: Last one: how do you ask for sweet sake? Luna: 甘酒をください. Lucas: And if it's tasty? Luna: おいしいです. Lucas: See, you've got it. You're ready for a festival. Luna: I actually feel more confident now. Reviewing really helps. Lucas: That's what we're here for. Keep practicing these, and you'll be ordering like a pro. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This was a great episode. Lucas: Thanks for joining us. See you next time for more Japanese with Fexingo.
