#219 近年、スロウライフに憧れて、人が少ない地方や田舎に移住して暮らす人が日本中にかなり増えています。ホストの2人とも、関西の都会から北海道の小さな地域に移住した経験者で、今回は彼らの実体験を踏まえて、本当に「スロウライフ」を過ごしているかどうかを聞いてみましょう！

In recent years, there has been a significant increase across Japan in the number of people who, drawn to the “slow life,” have moved to less populated rural areas. Both hosts have personally moved from the urban centers of the Kansai region to a small community in Hokkaido, so let’s ask them—based on their real-life experiences—whether they’re truly living the “slow life”!

#218 丁寧な話し方や接し方、お気遣い、謝るというのは日本語の特徴かもしれません。海外の人がよく耳にする日本語は「かわいい」「ありがとう」以外にも、「すみません」も多いかと思います。では、なぜ日本人ではこのように「すみません」をたくさん言うのかを、2人で考えてみました！

Polite speech, courteous behavior, thoughtfulness, and apologizing may be characteristic of the Japanese language. Besides “kawaii” and “arigatou,” “sumimasen” is another phrase that foreigners often hear in Japanese. So, the two of us sat down to discuss why Japanese people say “sumimasen” so often!
