みなさん、Nihongo StorytimeのNorikoです。今日から、私、Norikoのストーリーを聞いてください。ゆっくり話します。今日は私の家族について話します。スクリプトはコミュニティ限定です。Japanese Togetherのメンバーになってください。

"Hello everyone, I'm Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Starting today, please listen to my story. I'll speak slowly. Today, I'll be talking about my family. The script is exclusive to the community. Join Japanese Together to become a member.

Now, let's talk about my family. First, I'll tell you about the family living in Japan.

My parents live in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. I have one younger sister. She's married and lives in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. My parents love cats. They have one cat as a pet. The cat's name is Sora-chan, and Sora-chan is a very cute cat.

My father used to work for a company in the past; he was an office worker. Now, he's retired and spends his days leisurely at home. He enjoys gardening and works in the garden every day. My mother is a piano teacher. She teaches piano at home, and we have a grand piano in our house.

My mother's hobby is knitting. She enjoys knitting. My sister is a nurse and works at a hospital. So, these are my family members living in Japan.

Now, I live in Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom with my husband. My husband is from Peru. A Peruvian husband and a Japanese me - we are an international couple. He is a university professor here and is involved in research. I am a Japanese language teacher. I teach Japanese online, offering private lessons and creating podcasts. I also run a community called Japanese Together.

My husband's family, my in-laws, live in Peru. My sister-in-law, who is my husband's sister, lives in Sweden. My brother-in-law, who is my husband's brother, lives in Copenhagen, Denmark.

So, that's my family. How about your families? How many people are there in your family? Alright, see you next time."
