Megumi's Daily Japanese Adventures | Learn Japanese & Discover Japan

I talk about a common conversation topic in Japan:“Where are you from?”
I’ll explain useful expressions like "shusshin" (hometown), "jikka" (parents’ home), and how to talk about where you were born or raised.
You’ll also hear about my hometown Kanagawa, including spots like Yokohama and Enoshima, and of course—Shumai bento!
Perfect listening practice for learning how to talk about where you're from in natural Japanese.

今回は、「出身地」についてのお話です。
初対面の人とよく交わす「ご出身はどちらですか？」というフレーズ。
その意味や答え方、さらに「実家」や「生まれ・育ち」の表現について、
めぐみの地元・神奈川県の紹介を交えながら、やさしい日本語でお届けします。
横浜・江の島・シウマイ弁当など、観光や食べ物の話もたっぷり！
ぜひ、出身地について話すときのヒントにしてください。

Is Japanese curry really Japanese food… or is it Indian?
