Mina-san, O-genki desu ka?
Today’s lesson is pretty challenging! Ganbatte kudasai!

こんばんは！

Today, I picked up some words from sports.

選手　せんしゅ　sennshu　
player(sports)

審判　しんぱん shinpan
refree

補欠　ほけつ　hoketsu
Substitute

あわてる　awateru　（⇔落ち着く）
Panick, be confused

みなさんはサッカーをしますか？
では・・・have a good night!

Miho

it’s a beginner’s lesson #163!

miho先生、「あわてる」is interesting, can you give us an example?
can we only use this for sports?

>丸出忍者さん

Good question! あわてるis not only for sports
It is actually common words for our daliy situation.

たとえば・・・（for example…)

1. サッカーの試合(しあい）で（In the soccor game…)

あわててボールをけると、ミスをします。
If you kick the ball in panick (without thinking much), you will make a mistake.

2. 生活（せいかつ）の中（なか）で…(In the daily life…)

In the morning…

みほ：あ～電車に遅れる～～！！！
おかあさん：　あわてないで！気をつけて行（い）きなさい。

電車　でんしゃ　densha : train
遅れる　おくれる okureru : be late
気をつける　kiwotsukeru : be careful

Miho: Oh no… Im gonna miss the bus!!!
Mum: Don’t be panick!(Don’t rush!). Be careful!

I hope this helps!
Have a nice day

Miho

I was just wondering whether JP101 does answer their e-mail. I have sent some emails there in the past few weeks. No answers yet!

JZ, be patient! like all of us, sometimes peter needs a break too sometimes. but he’ll be back, don’t worry!

robert, hang in there! this time was a challenge! it’s good practice to listen to all levels of Japanese to become 上手!

I too found this extremely challenging … particularly the listening. Otherwise, I do enjoy your podcasts. Thanks
