CHISTES MEXICANOS

ACAPULCO.

  In some languages, the pronunciation of the letters remains constant, never changing or change very little.  Czech and Spanish are two examples.  English isn't like this.  We have long vowels short vowels and combinations of vowels.  Sometimes the pronunciation seems to change without reason.  Moreover, the speling rarely helps. Consider these three words:  food, blue, and blew - The vowel sounds are all the same, go figure.Has anybody ever looked at you after listening and asked, 'What?'  Last week, my student said through and I heard throw and was totally lost.

Tässä jaksossa pohdin omien kokemuksieni kautta kielen oppimista. Kiteytettynä neuvoni kielen oppimiseen:

1. Päätä mitä kieltä haluat opiskella ja pysy siinä päätöksessä.
2. Tutustu erilaisiin tapoihin opiskella kieltä ja löydä oma tapasi oppia.
3. Jatka sitkeästi eteenpäin. Älä luovuta ensimmäisen vaikean jakson aikana.
4. Panosta tavoitteeseesi rahallisesti, ajallisesti ja henkisesti.
5. Matkusta kohdemaahan, jos mahdollista. Osallistu arkielämään, kielikurssille ja paikalliseen kulttuuriin. Kieltä on muuallakin, kuin vain oppikirjoissa.

What is Pink Noise and How To Use It For Concentration?

Pink noise is a type of sound that contains equal energy per octave.

In simple terms, it is a type of noise with more low-frequency energy than high-frequency energy. 

The term "pink noise" comes from the analogy with the color spectrum, where pink light has lower frequencies than white light.

Pink noise is different from white noise, which has equal energy per frequency. White noise sounds like static and has equal intensity across all frequencies, making it sound somewhat harsh and flat to the human ear.

The benefit of pink noise lies in its balanced frequency distribution, which makes it useful for various applications:

Sound masking: Pink noise can be used to mask background sounds, making it easier to concentrate, relax, or sleep. Its balanced energy across different frequencies helps to cover a wide range of ambient noises without being overly distracting.

Testing and calibration: In audio and acoustic testing, pink noise is often used to analyze and calibrate audio equipment and speakers. Its balanced frequency distribution ensures that each frequency band is adequately tested and adjusted.

Tinnitus relief: Some studies have suggested that pink noise might help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) by reducing the perception of the ringing sound.

Sleep aid: Pink noise has been linked to improving sleep quality and enhancing deep sleep stages. Listening to pink noise during sleep may help some individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Cognitive benefits: There is ongoing research into whether pink noise can improve cognitive functions such as memory and focus. Some studies have indicated that it might have a positive impact on brain activity.

Relaxation and meditation: Pink noise is often used in relaxation and meditation practices due to its soothing and calming properties.

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。


今日はぼくの新しい生活について話します。

実は今週の金曜から海外へ行きます。
旅行ではないです。でも旅行のような感じでもあります。

約1年間、いくつかの国を回ります。
旅行しながら生活する、
生活しながら旅行する、
そんな風にすごすつもりです。

このために、いろんな準備をしてきました。
今は自分たちの家もないし、車もありません。
この短い期間だけ、実家におじゃましています。

持っていく荷物以外のほとんどは手放しました。
売ったり、あげたりしました。

自分の物がなくなっていくにつれて、気持ちはどんどん軽くなります。不思議な感覚です。

ここからの1年は1か月ごとに滞在する場所を変えながら移動していこうと思います。

Podcastでもその生活のはなしをします。
それだけではなくて、もちろん、日本の話もたくさんしていきます。

今回は
トルコからスタートして、ジョージアやヨーロッパの方へいつもりです。

ヨーロッパでオススメの場所があれば、教えてください。


またこんな旅行の話を一緒にしたい！と思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

italkiでお待ちしています！

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！
