Eikaiwa Time Trial
Let’s get started with Day 10 for the month of October.
Hi, everyone. I’m Steve Soresi. And here’s our conversation partner around the Atlantic.
Hi, everyone. I’m Nora Kennedy. Just try to complete the conversation with me today in your own words.
Here we go.
– Around the Atlantic!
And do you remember our theme, cuisine together in Ireland.
So let’s check out today’s scene. Imagine this.
We go to the Rolling Hills of Ireland for a picnic with friends.
It’s a potluck. So everyone brings one dish.
Just tell us about what you brought. Is it something Japanese?
Did you picture the situation?
-Try 7 turns!
Ready, start.
1. Oh, you made it! Say “hi” to everyone.
2. Dia duit. Well, help yourself to some Irish food, shepherd’s pie, soda bread or Irish stew here. Are you a meat eater?
Dia duit. はアイルランド語で、 「こんにちは」 という意味です。 カタカナで表すと「ジアグッチ」 のような発音です。
3. OK. Start with this. Oh, I see you brought a dish for us. What dish did you bring?
4. It sounds good! So, what’s in it?
5. Ah, I think I know of that dish. It’s not very spicy, right?
–
OK. Time’s up.
How many times did you reply?
How did you do? Did you reply each time?
–
So, what do people say in Japan, when you tell them, you’re from Ireland.
Well, they always say, “Oh, you’re from Ireland. It must be so cold.”
Oh, it’s not cold in Ireland?
Actually, even though Ireland is more northerly than Hokkaido. It’s actually quite mild, and it never snows.
Really?
Yeah.

ピクニックのお供 紙皿
僕の出身フロリダ州は一年を通して天気がいいので、幼いころからよく浜辺や川辺でピクニックをしました。
(My home state of Florida has beautiful weather throughout the year, so we often had picnics on the beach or by the river when I was a child. )
母が紙皿 (paper plate) を用意していて、それを使って食べた記憶があります。
アメリカのスーパーで紙皿が売られているのを見たことはありますか? 期間限定商品やおしゃれでかわいい商品もあるので、日本の友達へのお土産として買ったこともあります。(Have you ever seen paper plates for sale in American supermarkets? I have bought some as souvenirs for my friends in Japan because they are limited time items or stylish and cute.)
