Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Japanese with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 20, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, it's flying by. Today we're learning body parts. Luna: Oh, this is going to be fun! I've always wanted to know how to say 'head' in Japanese. Lucas: Well, you're in luck. Head in Japanese is 頭. Say it with me: あたま. Luna: あたま. Head. Got it. Lucas: Great. Now, shoulders. 肩. かた. Luna: かた. Shoulders. Okay. Lucas: Knees. 膝. ひざ. Luna: ひざ. Knees. That's a new one. Lucas: And feet. 足. あし. Luna: あし. Feet. So head, shoulders, knees, feet – wait, no toes? Lucas: Not today. Today it's head, shoulders, knees, and feet. Let's do a quick call-and-response. I say the English, you say the Japanese. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Head. Luna: あたま. Lucas: Shoulders. Luna: かた. Lucas: Knees. Luna: ひざ. Lucas: Feet. Luna: あし. Lucas: Perfect! Now, what if your head hurts? You can say '頭が痛いです' — あたま が いたい です. Head hurts. Luna: 頭が痛いです. That's useful. Like after a long day of studying? Lucas: Exactly. Or after listening to me talk too much. Luna: Oh, I would never say that. But 頭が痛いです. I like it. Lucas: Let's practice the body parts one more time. Repeat after me: 頭. Luna: 頭. Lucas: 肩. Luna: 肩. Lucas: 膝. Luna: 膝. Lucas: 足. Luna: 足. Lucas: And the full sentence: 頭が痛いです. Luna: 頭が痛いです. Can I make a sentence with shoulders? Lucas: Sure! 肩が痛いです means 'my shoulders hurt'. Luna: 肩が痛いです. Good to know after carrying heavy bags. Lucas: Right. Let's do a mini dialogue. You're at a doctor's office. The doctor asks, 'どこが痛いですか？' — Where does it hurt? Luna: Hmm. I'll say 頭が痛いです. Lucas: Perfect. And if your knee hurts? Luna: 膝が痛いです. Lucas: You're a natural. Luna: Thanks! But I think I need to practice the words more. Can we do a quick review? Lucas: Of course. I'll say the Japanese, you say the English. Luna: Okay. Lucas: 頭. Luna: Head. Lucas: 肩. Luna: Shoulders. Lucas: 膝. Luna: Knees. Lucas: 足. Luna: Feet. Lucas: And 頭が痛いです? Luna: My head hurts. Lucas: Excellent. You've got it. Luna: I feel like I could teach a whole anatomy class now! Lucas: Maybe not a whole class, but you can definitely describe some aches and pains. Luna: Let's do one more round for the listeners. I'll say the Japanese, then everyone repeats. Lucas: Great idea. Go ahead. Luna: 頭. Luna: 肩. Luna: 膝. Luna: 足. Luna: And finally, 頭が痛いです. Lucas: Wonderful. That wraps up episode 20. Remember to practice these words. Try pointing at body parts and saying them in Japanese throughout your day. Luna: I'm definitely going to do that. Maybe not on the train, but at home for sure. Lucas: Thanks for learning with Fexingo. See you next time! Luna: いいえ、ありがとう！ Bye everyone!
