Dear Noriko-sensei,
Hello! How are you? Thanks to you, I have safely arrived in Japan, and since my new life has begun, I decided to write you an email. Is it already autumn in England? It's still hot in Okayama in September, and it's tough.
Well, I’ve started living on my own in Okayama. My apartment is small, but it’s very clean and comfortable. It’s near Okayama Castle, and I can get to Kōraku-en Garden in about 10 minutes by bike.
School has also started, and the other day, I had my first class. I was really nervous, but Tanaka-sensei, my colleague, has been helping me. I’ll be teaching a lesson about British culture soon. I’m thinking of talking about fish and chips...
There’s still almost nothing in my apartment, but after I get my first paycheck next month, I plan to buy a table and chairs. I’m excited because I feel like I’m gradually creating my own space.
Thanks to you, I think I’m doing okay with Japanese conversation so far. But my colleagues speak fast, so sometimes I can’t catch what they’re saying. Please don’t worry, though. I’m managing somehow. I’ll keep doing my best, and I’d be happy if you could give me more advice in the future.
I’ll contact you again. Take care.
Sincerely,Tim

Finally, the first day as an ALT arrived. Tim was a bit nervous, but as soon as he entered the classroom, the students energetically greeted him with, "Hello!" Hearing that, Tim smiled and felt a little more relaxed.
In class, he taught some simple English phrases and tried doing role-plays. There were some enthusiastic students, but there were also a few who seemed bored. Tanaka-sensei, the English teacher and his colleague, said, "For your first time, you did really well. Next, could you prepare a class where you read about and talk about British culture?" Tim thought he would do his best to prepare for the next class.
As he walked down the hallway, many students spoke to Tim in Japanese. Thanks to his lessons with Noriko, he could understand most of the Japanese. He felt confident about having conversations too. However, since Tim is an English teacher, he decided to speak to the students in English as much as possible.
And so, Tim's new life in Japan began. He hopes to continue enjoying his experiences in Japan. He also wants to travel around the country a lot and learn even more about Japan.

In Okayama, Tim started living alone for the first time. His new apartment was small, but it was very clean and comfortable. The apartment was near Okayama Castle, and he could reach the famous Korakuen Garden in about 10 minutes by bike. It was also close to the Asahi River. He heard that in spring, many cherry blossoms bloom beautifully, and he was looking forward to seeing them.
School hadn’t started yet. While going to the nearby supermarket and taking walks in the park, Tim gradually got used to the city. Since he wanted to cook for himself, he also bought a pot, a frying pan, and other kitchen essentials. Japanese supermarkets are completely different from those in the UK. He enjoyed looking at the various foods and products.
There was still almost nothing in his apartment. Next month, after he gets his first paycheck, he plans to buy a table and chairs.

Tim arrived in Japan. When he stepped off the plane, he felt a little nervous, but breathing in the Japanese air gave him energy. Everything was new, and he couldn’t stop feeling excited. With his suitcase in hand, he took a train to Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. From there, he transferred to the Shinkansen and headed toward Okayama, enjoying the Japanese scenery along the way.
When he arrived in Okayama, a new life was waiting for him. Tim was about to start teaching English as an ALT in Okayama City. He first went straight to the Okayama Prefectural Office to meet with the person who would be helping him. The city was quiet, and many people were riding bicycles. "Ah, I've really come to Japan," Tim thought to himself, feeling it deeply. He really felt excited.

Tim lives in Manchester and works as a math teacher. He loves Japan and has been studying Japanese on his own for the past five years. Over the last two years, he discovered Noriko’s podcast and listened to it frequently to continue improving his Japanese. Noriko’s way of speaking was easy to understand and very helpful. This past year, he also took private lessons with Noriko to practice conversation.
Tim’s dream is to teach English in Japan as an ALT. Recently, he had an interview for the position and successfully passed. He was thrilled and excited for his new adventure to begin. Finally, the day to depart for Japan in August arrived. During his last lesson with Noriko, Tim said, "This is the end, isn't it?" But Noriko smiled and said, "It's a new beginning. Good luck!

This is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. In this podcast, I speak slowly. I have a website called "Japanese with Noriko." Please check it out if you have the chance. Now, let me share my story with you today. In July, I went to Sweden and Denmark. Please listen.
At the end of July, I went to Lund in Sweden. Lund is located in the southern part of Sweden. I have relatives who live in Lund. First, I flew to Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, and from there, I took a train. It takes about an hour by train from Copenhagen to Lund.
The purpose of this trip was to visit family. My in-laws live in Lund, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark. This time, I went to visit them.
Lund, Sweden is famous for its university. It’s a student town. However, since I went in the summer, there were no students around. It was very quiet.
Sweden is known for its delicious sweet pastries. The cinnamon rolls are particularly tasty. I went to a famous bakery in Lund and bought freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I also took a walk in a park in Lund with my niece. There were many apple trees.
Next time, I plan to visit Lund during Christmas.

Hello everyone. This is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. In this podcast, I speak slowly. Please also listen to my other podcast, Japanese with Noriko, where I speak faster. Well, today I will tell you my story. My in-laws came to Liverpool. So, please listen.
I am married. My husband is Peruvian. In July, my in-laws came to Liverpool from Peru. We spent about ten days together. My father-in-law and mother-in-law do not speak much English. I do not speak much Spanish. So, it was a bit difficult. I studied Spanish long ago, but I haven’t studied it at all recently. However, I tried to speak a lot in Spanish. I remembered some simple words. My mother-in-law is good at cooking. She made delicious Peruvian food every day. My father-in-law likes the Beatles. So, he was very happy to visit famous Beatles-related places in Liverpool. When they came to Liverpool from Peru, the weather was cold. They wore sweaters. I wore a short-sleeved T-shirt. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Finally, my father-in-law likes whiskey. I also like whiskey. So, we went to a delicious whiskey bar in Liverpool. We tasted Scotch whiskey. That’s all for today.

Hello everyone. This is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. In this podcast, I speak slowly. Please also listen to my other podcast, Japanese with Noriko, where I speak faster. Now, today is another story from me. It's about Liverpool. Please listen.
I live in Liverpool, England. In November 2024, I moved to Liverpool from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Liverpool is famous for The Beatles. Before The Beatles became famous, they played at a live music venue in Liverpool. That place is called The Cavern Club. Last Friday, I watched a Beatles tribute band live at The Cavern Club.
The tickets for the live show were £20 per person. The live show lasted about three hours. People who looked like the members of The Beatles played many of their songs. Their costumes were also like The Beatles, and it was a very enjoyable show.
Most of the audience was elderly. Everyone listened to famous Beatles songs and danced and sang along. I also stood up and danced during "Twist and Shout." The last song was "Hey Jude." At that time, everyone in the audience stood up and sang together loudly.
If you come to Liverpool, please visit this live house. It's an interesting place where you can feel the atmosphere of that time.

I went to London in June. It was a 3-day trip with 2 nights. The purpose of this trip was to attend a concert. It was a concert of the Korean singer IU. I am studying Korean. I love IU's songs. IU is a female singer and also an actress. She appears in famous dramas and movies.
The concert was on Friday night at Wembley Arena in the suburbs of London. It was sold out. The concert lasted from 6:30 PM for 3 hours. It was very long and tiring, but it was really enjoyable. It felt like a dream. I was able to go to the concert I had always wanted to attend.
Do you go to concerts? Do you have a favorite artist?
Thanks to this concert, my motivation to study Korean has increased. I want to study more and sing IU's songs in Korean. Do you listen to Japanese songs? I am part of the community Japanese Together. I made a playlist of Japanese songs recommended by the community members. I will share the link, so please listen to it.

I like going to museums. There is the Tate Modern Museum in London. I love this museum. The special exhibitions at this museum are always amazing. I saw a special exhibition of Matisse before. It was really wonderful.
The Tate Modern Museum is free, but you need to pay to see the special exhibitions. The special exhibitions are expensive, but they are a very good experience.
This time, I saw a special exhibition about Expressionists. I don't know much about paintings, but when I go to the museum, I find a painting I like and buy its postcard.
The Tate Modern Museum is along the Thames River in London. I recommend walking along the Thames River. You can see many landmarks in London. Do you go to museums? If you have any recommended museums or favorite paintings, please tell me.

I live in Liverpool, England. I went to London from Liverpool in June. It took 2 hours and 40 minutes by train. I love London and often go there. This time, it was my first time in London in a year. London has many delicious restaurants and cafes. There are also many museums and art galleries. There are various landmarks, and just walking around is fun.
This time in London, I went to some interesting restaurants. One was a Japanese udon restaurant called "Marugame Udon." In Japan, udon is cheap, but the Marugame Udon in London was stylish and surprising. The udon was also much more expensive than in Japan.
Another place was a Peruvian restaurant. In London, you can eat food from many different countries. At the restaurant, you can hear Spanish. The menu has many Peruvian dishes, and the taste is delicious. So, I always go there. Oh, I forgot to mention, my husband is Peruvian. He also likes the taste of this restaurant.
Have you ever been to London? Do you want to go?

"Italian café culture is quite different from that in the UK. I visited local cafés in Milan and Bologna.
In the UK, it is common to sit down and drink a latte or an Americano. However, Italian cafés have counters where many people stand to drink espresso or caffè lungo. Everyone stands at the counter, drinks their coffee there, and leaves right away. Many people stand and drink in Italian cafes in the morning.
In Italian cafés, it is normal to stand and quickly drink your coffee. Not only that, but there are many cafés and restaurants with terrace seating, meaning there are plenty of seats outside in front of the shop. Italy has better weather than Liverpool, where I live in the UK. Therefore, there are many terrace seats. During my travels in Italy, I often saw cafés open early in the morning. However, in the UK, it is rare to find a café open at 7 AM.
Additionally, many people in Italy eat sweet Danish pastries or cream-filled croissants in the morning. It's a sweet breakfast. On the other hand, the famous breakfast in the UK is the English breakfast, which is full of sausages and bacon and is not sweet at all. English breakfast is a fattening breakfast.This difference is very interesting. Personally, I prefer the Italian-style breakfast."

"Bologna is about an hour away from Milan by train. The trains are high-speed, similar to Japan's Shinkansen. If you book a special seat, you can receive water and snacks on the train. Enjoying the scenery outside the window while having snacks made the journey to Bologna feel very short.
In Bologna, we stayed at an Airbnb. This city is known as the 'Gastronomic Capital' of Italy. Bologna is the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, which is renowned for its rich variety of food ingredients.
There are many delicious foods such as mortadella (Bologna sausage), Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Modena balsamic vinegar. Additionally, egg pasta is used in dishes like tortellini and lasagna.
Although we stayed for only two nights, we enjoyed delicious food from morning till night every day. The most delicious item was, of course, the dessert tiramisu. It was creamy and very tasty. The tiramisu you can buy in British supermarkets is too sweet, but the tiramisu we had in Bologna was not overly sweet.
The gastronomic journey in Bologna was truly a wonderful experience. I definitely want to go again!"

"I went to Milan and Bologna in Italy for a 6-day, 5-night trip. In Milan, I had lunch at a restaurant with members of the community Japanese Together.
This restaurant is very famous for its handmade fresh pasta. Fresh pasta is different from dried pasta. It has a chewy texture and is delicious. The term 'fresh' does not mean that it can be eaten raw. It means it is 'fresh' in the sense that it is soft and has not been dried yet. The boiling time is also shorter than that of dried pasta.
The fresh pasta I had at this restaurant was truly different from any pasta I have ever had before; it was very delicious. I love noodle dishes, and I also came to love this fresh pasta.
This was my second time visiting Milan. I stayed at a hotel near Central Station. I also went to Bologna, which is about an hour by train from Central Station. It was a very comfortable trip on the high-speed train.
I will talk about Bologna in the next episode."

Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. In this podcast, I will speak slowly. There is another podcast where I speak faster, called Japanese with Noriko. There, you can find episodes from Season 1 to Season 3. Also, please follow my Instagram at norijpteacher. Today, I will share my story. Please listen.
Last month, I caught a cold. The weather in the UK is unpredictable. It keeps getting warm and cold, which is why I caught a cold.
At first, I had a headache. My head was throbbing. Then, I had a sore throat. My throat was burning. So, I took some cold medicine. I drank tea with lemon and honey. I drank a lot of tea and rested. Finally, I had a runny nose. My nose was running a lot. I used a lot of tissues, and because of that, the area under my nose turned red.
Colds are tough. I took time off work and rested, but it didn’t get better quickly. It took about a week. I finally got better.
When you catch a cold, do you take time off work? Do you take cold medicine? Do you go to the hospital? I didn’t go to the hospital. I took cold medicine that I bought at the drugstore.
Everyone, be careful not to catch a cold. If you catch a cold, drink plenty of tea.

Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Today, our story features Yuka, a 26-year-old office worker. Please listen.
Yuka is 26 years old. She works at a company every day. She is an office worker. She is busy every day. She gets up early every morning and takes the train to work.
One day, Yuka felt sluggish and had a slight sore throat in the morning. She thought, "I might have caught a cold." But she decided to go to work anyway.
When she arrived at work, her colleague Satoko looked at her and said, "Yuka, you don't look well. Are you okay?"
"Hmm, I think I might have caught a cold. My throat hurts," Yuka replied.
Satoko said with concern, "In that case, you should go home early today. Your health is the most important thing."
Yuka said, "Thank you. But I have a lot of work, so I have to do my best today."
By early afternoon, Yuka's condition worsened. She seemed to have developed a fever and her head felt fuzzy. Yuka decided to leave work early after all. She told her boss, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so I'd like to go home early." Her boss kindly said, "I understand. Take care."
When she got home, Yuka took some medicine right away. Then she drank plenty of water and slept soundly.
Everyone, please take care of yourselves and watch out for colds. When you have a cold, the best thing to do is to rest well.

Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Today, please listen to my story. In this podcast, I speak slowly. Please also follow my Instagram at norijpteacher. Today, I’ll talk about a cafe in Liverpool. Please listen.
I often go to cafes to enjoy delicious coffee. At the cafe, I either read books or study Korean. There are several cafes in Liverpool that are my favorites. The cafe near my house is filled with my favorite colors, green and yellow. There are many houseplants placed around this cafe. The furniture is also mostly green. And the coffee cups are a lovely yellow. Just seeing this yellow makes me feel joyful. And drinking coffee from this cup puts me in a happy mood.
I used to live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. There is also a favorite cafe of mine in Belfast. The coffee cups there are a dark green. This dark green is also a very lovely color.
At home, I use ordinary coffee cups that I bought cheaply at the supermarket. The cups I often use at home are red. Red is also a color I like.
What color are the coffee cups you use often? Do they have designs or are they plain? I prefer plain coffee cups. I like them better without various designs or prints.
Are the coffee cups you use large or small? I am not very fond of mugs. They are too big, and it's difficult for me to finish drinking everything. I can't drink it all. The drink gets cold.
Please show me a photo of your favorite cup. See you again.
