みなさん、こんにちは。美樹のブログです。 春になって、新しい季節がくると何かを始めたくなりませんか?私は今とても旅行に行きたいです。就職活動が終わったらどこへ旅行に行こうか考えています。 ところで、みなさんは「男はつらいよ」という日本の映画を知っていますか?私は最近、この映画をすすめられてDVDを見ました。寅さんという男の 人が日本中を旅するお話です。全部で48作ありますが、ストーリーはいつも同じです。寅さんは毎回旅先で出会うマドンナ(毎回変わります)に恋をします。 寅さんの旅先はいつも違うので、映画の中で日本のいろいろな所を見ることができますよ!派手なアクションやCGは無いけれど、昔の日本や田舎の風景、人情 が感じられるとても良い映画です。寅さんは時々、外国にも旅行するので、もしかしたらみなさんの街にも来ているかもしれません! 私のおすすめ映画は「男はつらいよ」です。みなさんのおすすめは何ですか? それでは、また来週!

また来週、みきさん!

皆さん、元気?
僕は漢字がないをわからなかったです。どうしたんですか?
今、おすすめがないです。とらさんはわかりません!
それだけです。また来週。。。
Sorry for my bad Japanese… I hope I could get through what I ment to say!

The translation of the fifth sentence says: “When I’m done job-hunting, I plan to go somewhere.”
Rather than saying “I plan to go somewhere”, doesn’t it say: “I’ll think about where I’ll go”? (kangaete imasu).

Hello there,
I like miki’s blog a lot. But I really need the transcript to help me to understand the contents. Is the transcript still available now?
Monday at 11:54 am
ryanさん、as always her transcript is in the learning center.
Monday at 1:01 pm
Thank you, markystar-san.
Yeap, I think there are transcripts in the learning center, but is it free for nonmember? Couse I don’t apply for it. Maybe I should do.
Besides, JapanesePod101.com used to give the first post as the transcript. Whitout the transcript, I can hardly understand the whole content. Maybe I should study harder.
Monday at 5:59 pm
Ryanさん、hahaha, you’re right. Check the first post now!
cheers!

Tuesday at 9:22 am
みきさんへ、
今回のブログもとてもよかったです。今日Tsutayaに行こうか考えています。面白そうですね。
私のおすすめのは(皆さんは多分知ってるのに)千と千尋と言う映画です。この映画を見るといっぱい日本の文化を見えるし、話は立派だと思います。
では、また来週。

Babel, boys don’t cry, Brokeback montain, Girl interrupted, An inconvient Truth by Al gore!, Lynkentropen from Sweden music by Ulver!, number 23, the illusionist, 9-11, etc, etc.
There are alot of great movies out there that tells the truth and reality!
