みなさんは漢字(かんじ)が好き(すき)ですか?実は(じつは)世界(せかい)の国名(こくめい)や都市(とし)も漢字(かんじ)で書ける(かける)ことを知って(しって)いましたか?最近(さいきん)、日本(にほん)の大学(だいがく)で勉強(べんきょう)している生徒(せいと)さんと国名(こくめい)の漢字(かんじ)の練習(れんしゅう)をしたことから、世界(せかい)の国々(くにぐに)の漢字表記(かんじひょうき)の難しさ(むずかしさ)について話しました。イタリアは伊(い)ですが、アメリカは米(べい)、オーストラリアは豪(ごう)、スペインは西(せい)なのはどうしてなんでしょう?中国語(ちゅうごくご)の音(おん)に由来(ゆらい)するものもあるらしいです。日本語(にほんご)の音(おん)の関係(かんけい)から、外国語(がいこくご)とカタカナについても話しました。日本語(にほんご)はひらがな、カタカナ、漢字(かんじ)と3種類(しゅるい)あって難しい(むずかしい)ですよね。本当(ほんとう)にみなさん日本語(にほんご)の勉強(べんきょう)お疲れ様(おつかれさま)です!

Do you all like kanji? Did you know that the names of countries and cities around the world can also be written in kanji? Recently, I discussed the difficulty of writing the names of countries in kanji with students studying at a university in Japan. For instance, Italy is written as '伊' (I), America as '米' (Bei), Australia as '豪' (Gou), and Spain as '西' (Sei). Why is that? It seems some of these are derived from Chinese pronunciations. We also talked about foreign languages and katakana in relation to Japanese sounds. Japanese language has three types of characters: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, which makes it quite challenging. Truly, great job to everyone studying Japanese!"
