Out of the Blue | 突然に 「Idiomania | イディオマニア 」

October 1, 2009 Duration: 0:00
第18回目のテーマは「Out of the blue」 今日の慣用句はOut of the blueです。 We use this idiom when something happens suddenly or without notice or warning. My mother visit me out of the blue. = My mother visited me without calling or telling me she would come. “Out of the Blue”は直訳では「青の外に」という意味ですが、慣用句では「思いがけなく」「突然に」「前ぶれなしに」という意味になります. The skit is called THE SHADOW MAN. Is it a ghost or a shadow? Please contact John at john @ weblish.net if you have any questions or comments.

Ever wondered how to talk about ghosts, goblins, and all things spooky in English? Weblish Halloween! | ハロウィン英会話 pulls together a classic collection of video lessons from 2007, all themed around the Halloween season. Host and producer John Daub creates these sessions right from his living room, which doubles as a studio, giving the whole experience a uniquely personal and slightly unpredictable feel. The charm of this podcast lies in its blend of education and lighthearted comedy, making language learning feel more like a seasonal celebration than a formal course. You’ll find yourself picking up practical English phrases and vocabulary wrapped in a fun, spooky package. And yes, as the original description warns, you might want to study carefully-because sometimes your teacher isn't John at all, but a friend of his who happens to be Dracula, making the occasional surprise appearance. It’s a quirky, nostalgic trip that serves a double purpose: getting you into the Halloween spirit while naturally building your language skills through engaging and memorable content. Each episode of this video podcast is a standalone lesson, designed to be both entertaining and instructional without ever taking itself too seriously.
