Lesson 1 Word 3 ( Jealous ) 

Throughout the 20th century, many scientists believed that bilingual children would have trouble concentrating and learning in school. In the last decade, however, studies have proved just the opposite.

People that speak more than one language often perform better on tests that measure problem solving, concentration, mental flexibility and multitasking.

Basically, speaking more than one language keeps your brain fit!

Over half of the world’s population speak more than one language, and most countries have more than one official language. Native English speakers usually only grow up speaking one language.

Young children learn language easily, but that’s because they’re constantly surrounded by native speakers! Unfortunately, adults don’t have that luxury.

Bilingual brains have more grey matter. This part of the brain controls our muscles, sight, hearing, emotions, speech, and decision making. Learning another language makes our brains work harder and builds up our grey matter.

Some schools in the U.K. and America have started conducting lessons in one language in the morning and switching to a different language for lessons in the afternoon. Teachers say that the children concentrate much better and have more self-esteem.

For adults, it’s sometimes hard to stay motivated when learning another language, so make sure it’s always an enjoyable experience! Be sure to set goals for yourself, try a lot of different learning activities and talk to native speakers as much as you can.

Don’t worry about the mistakes you make, after all, the reward for all that hard work is well worth it!

GASTRONOMIA MEXICANA.

En México, la preparación de comida nos caracteriza, en cada momento, en cada celebración, incluso en funerales, la comida es un referente, un elemento identitario que nos hace únicos en el mundo.

Además de formar parte importante en la vida de los mexicanos, nuestra comida es reconocida por su creatividad, diversidad, trascendencia; se compone de platillos en los que se refleja la riqueza cultural y de sabores que se ha acumulado a través del tiempo, desde la época prehispánica que se mezcla con la colonial e incluso la contemporánea.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日もN3の漢字をやります！
欠、をやります！　

音読み　けつ
訓読み　かーく

意味は、一部がこわれる、なくなる、やすむ、とかそんな感じです。

例えば、

・欠席ーけっせき　休むこと

・欠点ーけってん　よくない面のこと

・欠如ーけつじょ　足りないこと、不十分なこと

・欠乏ーけつぼう　あるべきものがないこと

・欠航ーけっこう　予定の船や飛行機が出ないこと


こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・熱があるので、今日は欠席します

・欠点を気にしすぎるのはよくないと思います

・あの人はモラルが欠如していると思います

・震災による長期間の避難生活で、食料が欠乏しています。

・乗るはずだった飛行機が台風の影響で欠航になりました。

こんな感じです。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
