What is Learning English?
Learning English is VOA’s multimedia source of news and information for millions of English learners worldwide.
Learning English began as Special English, which Voice of America launched in 1959. Special English newscasts and features were a primary fixture of VOA’s international shortwave broadcasts for more than half a century. In 2014, our line of products was expanded to include more English teaching materials, and the service became known as Learning English.
Learning English programs are also broadcast on radio and satellite TV and posted at

“Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered.” Japan's Former PM Shinzo Abe Assassinated
July 08, 2022
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has died after being shot in the chest during a campaign speech Friday, medical officials said.
The attack shocked Japan, a nation with some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world.
The 67-year-old Abe died at a hospital in Nara. He had been getting treatment there for gunshot wounds from what police described as a handmade gun.
Abe was Japan’s longest-serving prime minister. He resigned in 2020 because of a health problem.

Videos from Japanese broadcaster NHK showed Abe speaking at a train station in Nara when two gunshots rang out. The former prime minister fell to the ground while holding his chest. His shirt was covered in blood.
Medical officials said Abe was not breathing and his heart had stopped after being airlifted to the hospital. Doctors tried to stop the bleeding and gave him a blood transfusion. They said Abe had deep wounds to the heart and the right side of his neck.
He was declared dead at 5:03 p.m. local time.
Police arrested the suspected gunman at the place of the attack. The suspect has been identified as 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami of Nara. He served in Japan’s navy for three years until 2005.
NHK reported that the suspect told the police that he was not pleased with Abe and wanted to kill him. The man also said he had made several handmade explosives and guns in the past. >>29
Japan has very restrictive gun laws that make it almost impossible to buy a gun.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned the attack as “barbaric,” saying it took place during elections that form the very heart of Japan’s democracy.
Even before the shooting, Abe was expected to have a major impact on Sunday’s election. During his years in office, Abe pulled Japan out of an economic recession. He built strong ties with the United States and wanted to counter China’s growing strength in Asia. His goal of rewriting the nation’s pacifist constitution failed because of poor public support.
Japanese officials have said the election planned for Sunday will still take place.
U.S. President Joe Biden said, “This is a tragedy for Japan and for all who knew him.” Similar messages of shock and sadness came from leaders around the world, including from neighboring Taiwan, China and Russia, as well as from across Asia and Europe.
The attack shocked Japan. With a population of 125 million, the country had just 10 gun-related criminal cases last year. Police said eight of those cases were related to gang activities. Tokyo, a city of nearly 14 million people, had no gun incidents, injuries or deaths last year.
Shiro Kawamoto is a professor at the College of Risk Management at Nihon University in Tokyo. He said, “Japanese people are in a state of shock.”
Kawamoto added, “This serves as a wake-up call that gun violence can happen in Japan, and security to protect Japanese politicians must be re-examined.” そういやbbc learningのページはないんだな

他の四味出てるから想像はついたけど、savoryで旨味って載ってる辞書ほとんど無かった。
学習者には辛いぞ… savory はルミナス英和オンラインに重要語としてのっているよ >>38
味が良いとかの意味でしょ
味覚としての旨味(umami)では載ってなかったよ
気になって調べてたらwikiの旨味の項目に↓と書いてあったわ。savoryでの旨味はまだ定着した表現じゃないらしい。
日本国外、特にその存在の認知が遅れた欧米諸国の言語では、従来この「うま味」に相当する表現が存在しなかったため、現在のところ日本語を借用した「umami」を便宜上代用している場合が多い。ただし、英語の「savory」（肉料理の風味がある）や「brothy」（肉の煮汁の風味がある）、中国語の「鮮味」、そしてこれらに相当する各国語の表現を使用する試みも見られている。 昔、基本単語のクロスワードパズルがあったんだけどなくなっちゃったのかな >>40

いや、ここで出て来てるのは辛味とか渋味とかを含まない基本の五味(単純に味蕾で感じる味)で、ある意味専門用語みたいなもんなんで曖昧なのは不味いのよ。 I have a question. I want to say, "my Spanish teacher" meaning "my teacher from Spain". Then I realized that it could also mean "my teacher that teaches Spanish language classes.”
