「escapate conmigo」の意味は？？スペイン人が教えるスペイン語講座！
オラー
最近ずっと記事を書けていなくて、このコーナーのファンの方はちょっと寂しさをかんじてたんじゃないかな。
（＊そんな人は一人もいません）
では久しぶりのスペイン語講座始まるよー！
今日紹介するのはWisin feat Ozunaのコラボレーションで作られた「Escacapate conmigo」です。ともにプエルトリコ出身のレげトン歌手であるWisinとOzunaがタッグを組んで作られました。6か月前にyoutubeにアップロードされたこの曲は現在７億８千万回もの再生回数を誇るメガヒットを記録。
「Escapate conmigo」の意味は“俺と逃げよう”ですね。これはつまり俺と一緒になろうよということになります。
2017年の9月9日付のBillboard's Latin Airplay chartで1位を獲得したこの曲は全体的に乗りのいいリズムとサビのゆったりしたリズムのコントラストが心地いい曲です。ゆっくりのサビなのでスペイン語を勉強している方にも優しいナンバーです。
決してアップテンポな曲ではありませんが、リズムに乗りやすくドライブにもってこいの曲だと思います。気になる方はぜひチェックしてみてくださいね。
これで安心！！レストランでのコース料理の注文方法まるわかり！！
スペインは世界有数のグルメ大国。
街のいたるところにレストランが立ち並び、お店の前を通ると何とも言えない香りが漂います。日本食に負けず劣らずとてもおいしい料理が目白押しです。
地域によって料理の種類が異なり、地中海気候で育った新鮮な野菜をふんだんに生かした料理や、取れたての海の幸を素材の味を活かした料理・歴史があり古くから受け継がれている伝統料理などさまざまなものがあります。
スペインは情熱の国というイメージが強いかもしれませんが、食の国でもあるのですね。
続きを読むHow to pray at Japanese Shrine!!
There are many foreigners that visit Japan. In 2016, the number of tourists reached a record high. Many foreigners visit Japanese shrines. However, many of them don’t know how to pray at a shrine. Since you are here in Japan, you should take the opportunity to pray at one. Sometimes, there are the sign which tell you how to pray, but it is only written in Japanese, so you may not be able to read it. Therefore, I will like to introduce how to pray at a Japanese shrine.
1. pass through the Torii(the entrance)
All the shrines have the entrance called Torii. Torii come in all different sizes and colors, but they have same meaning; the Torii serves as the gateway between earth and the world of the gods. It's quite mysterious. Many Japanese walk through the center of the entrance, however, the center is the path for gods- you must walk along the sides of the path.
If you're walking on the right side, step through the Torii with your right foot, and vice versa. But don’t worry!! You won't get cursed if you forget it.
2. Cleanse yourself.
After the entrance, you can always find the place like this photo. Maybe you already knew you need to cleanse your hands and mouth. This action has the order, so I will explain:
Step 1
Hold the spoon and draw water, then wash your left hand.
(Just pour water on your left hand)
Step 2
Switch your hand and pour water on your right hand.
Step 3
Hold the spoon in your right hand and pour water into your left hand.
Take said water and wash your mouth with it. *Don’t worry, if you don’t want to do it, just skip this process.
Step 4
Finally, cleanse your hand once more and you're done!
3. In front of the main shrine
This is the main event and a difficult part for tourists who visit.
Let me show you how to pray!!
Step1
Toss in a coin. The coin you toss could have the following meanings:
5 yen=fate/tie/bond
20 yen= twice the fate/tie/bond
25 yen =same as above
1000 yen or more= they may have strong hopes or need god’s help.
Step2 Bow twice
It displays respect towards the god.
Step3 Clap twice
This clap expresses the happiness of meeting the god.
Step4 bow once
This means to thank the god after you pray.
Of course, praying is different at some shrines because there are about 80,000 shrines all over Japan and schools of shrines are different.
After finishing your prayer, there are other events like omikuji . The fortune keychain would be really good souvenir for your friends and family.
Now you are ready to visit Japanese shrines. Please enjoy your trip!!
