118 [✐2,3] Use more Onomatopoeia!
Description
[✐2.Andante, 3.Moderato] Onomatopoeia
“It’s humid (sticky) and hot, isn’t it?”
[00:07 ]
Hello everyone. How are you doing? We will practice onomatopoeia today. Please try also JS 90.
Note: オノマトペ = A word that expresses various states and movements with sound, including a sensory expression, although the sound is not actually heard.
Even the same onomatopoeia has different meanings depending on the context; e.g. “peko peko” could mean 1) “very hungry”, or 2) “be very humble” or “touch one’s forelock” = “He apologized humbly. / He apologized over and over again.”

First, let’s do on weather. How is the weather? Listen to the onomatopoeia ♫, then repeat the sentence.
Repeat after me
[00:27 ]
1. za-za-
→ It’s pouring.
2. para para
→ It’s sprinkling.
3. byu-byu-
→ The wind is blowing/wuthering.
4. poka poka
→ It’s warm and feel nice.
5. mushi mushi
→ it’s muggy / very humid.
[01:34 ]
It’s really muggy in summer in Japan. I will get sweaty!
[01:43 ]
Now, make a sentence using the hints.
For example,
It rained really heavily yesterday, didn’t it?
[hint] indeed, za-za-
→ Indeed, it was pouring.
Ready?
[02:01 ]
1. It’s hot today again, isn’t it?
[hint] indeed, mushimushi
→ Indeed, it’s muggy.
2. Spring has come. What a pleasant weather.
[hint] indeed, pokapoka
→ Indeed. It’s warm and feel nice.
3. It was so windy yesterday.
[hint] byu-byu-
→ It was wuthering, wasn’t it?
4. Is it raining there?
[hint] yes, za-za-
→ Yes, it’s pouring.
5. Is it raining there?
[hint] yes, but, para para
→ Yes, but it’s just drizzling.

It’s just drizzling at the moment, so let’s go home before it turns into heavy rain.
