以前、英・中・西の3言語で世界の3分の1(約28億人)という話を書いたけれど、日本語の話者は世界で約1.5%程度。ネットであれ現実であれ、日本語だけが交わされる空間は、小さな部屋に人が密集している状態だということ。その密度の良し悪しは人それぞれだけど、世界の98.5%の人はその中でのせめぎ合いを全く知らずに過ごしている。そう考えると、日々の些末なことがあまり気にならなくなるのでは?パゴーヂ(サンバ)の名曲で良い週末を。

以前住んでいたアパートはスタッフがほぼラテン系で、一番仲良かったのはモーガン・フリーマン似のドミニカ共和国出身のベテラン男性。「君をわが家のパーティーに誘おうと思ってたのに、最近会えなくて残念」とある日言われた。当時、彼らの間で大流行していたのがバチャータ。あの超情熱的できわどい踊りの輪に僕を誘うつもりだったのか…そんなわけない(笑)

NHKの語学ラジオには中学生の頃からお世話になっているが、最近はスマホアプリのおかげでより身近になった。僕がよく聴いているのは「まいにち中国語」「ラジオビジネス英語」「英会話タイムトライアル」(これ、面白い)。ポルトガル語やスペイン語も時々聴くが、動詞の活用や名詞の性別があるラテン系言語は、大学時代にフランス語で躓いてからずっと苦手。でも英・中・西が分かれば世界の3分の1の人(約28億人)と繋がれると思うと、夢があるね。
