先日、東京のNHKTV局に行ってきましたよ~ん☆
I went to the NHK TV station in Tokyo the other day☆

今、NHK語学番組制作側はとーってもがんばってはります!!
NHK TV works very hard to do well their programs!!
語学修得者のためにイベントを企画し、参加してもらいながら、番組を知ってもらいたいようです。
It seems that they think various things, design us to join in some events and then want many people to know their programs.
He is a producer .
それで、4月から始まる番組の先行試写会と出演者の方と英語でのトークセッションに参加してきたんです!!
So, I joined in a English talk session for the programs starting in April.
その番組というのが「トラッド・ジャパン」と「ビギン・ジャパノロジー」です。
The programs are 「Trad Japan」 and 「Brgin Japanology」.
日本について英語でどのように説明できるかというのがテーマなんだ。
It was proceeded on the subject of describing Japan in English

Mr.Stuart Varnam-Atkin and Mr.Peter Barakan
私も、さまざまな国の友達とのお付き合いの中で、説明に困ることもしばしば。
Actually, I often have troubles in companionship with foreign friends for explanation about Japan.

今回のイベントはそんな私の興味を引くものだったから、東京へ出けたというわけ。
That’s reason why I went to Tokyo .
本当は私も「英語で発表しよう!!」なんて思ってたんだけど、いざとなったら言えなかった。 普段、ネイティブと会話するように話せば良いだけなのに・・・あーもったいなかったなぁ。
At first I intended to remark in English but I couldn’t talk even when I got a chance. Though I merely talk as I usually convers with foreigners…what a waste!!
印象に残っているのは、辞書にない言葉をシンプルな言葉と短い説明で伝えるのが良いということ。(確かに)
What rang in my hurt was…” describing with simple words and short sentenses in English” (That’s right.)
それから、カタカナ英語がいかに曲者かという事。多くの日本人はカタカナ英語に惑わされっぱなしで・・・ あと、「おいしい話」の”おいしい”ってどう説明する??なんで”おいしい話”って言うんだろう・・・?なんてことも:笑
And for us Japanese, Kataskana-English is bad!! Most Japanese are confused by it. And…how can we descride about “Oishii- story” ?? Why do we say ”Oishii-story ” when we got un oppotunity that it’s convenient for us.
で、調子にのって出演者の方達と写真を撮るのも「ピースしてもらっていいですか??」と無理やり!?お願いしても心良く引き受けてくださって、本当にありがとうございました!!!
I got a little carried away and I asked them to pose “a pease sign”. They took my request readily(!?)!!!!!! Thanks for them!!!!

Mr.Stuart Varnam-Atkin Mr.Peter Barakan

Miss Yuko Aotani (announcer)
その夜、かねてからメールのやり取りをしていたフランス人の友達の家に泊まらせてもらいました。この一年メールとSNSサイト内の交流だけだったんだけど、初めて会い、そしていきなり一晩を共にするという、まあ大胆な!?
At that night, I put up to my french frend’s house. I have been contacted with her only by mail and SNS site. It was the first time that we met each other! What a adventurous ??????
彼女が日本で暮らすことになるなんて、二人とも予想だにしなかったので驚きです。
It’s amaizing that she came to live in Tokyo!! We never expected that!
with her sons Bea’ and Mitsuko

We ordered “Sashimi-Teisyoku” !! Tasted goooooood!!
おまけにこの日、東京マラソンに参加するために、もう1人友達がヨーロッパからわざわざ来るというのだから、これも驚きだ。しかも私と同じ日に彼女の家に泊まるなんて☆
Besides, one Europian came to her house to join in the Tokyo marathon at the same day!! It was amaizing too!!
これも素敵な出会いでした!! 短い時間だったけど、彼女や彼女の家族、そしてその友達と過ごせたことは財産です。
I had an goooogd oppotunity!! It was short time but I was glad to see her, her family and her friend. It was an asset to me!
