はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の10回目です。最近ポッドキャストの再生数が一定数を超えたので、Anchorのアンバサダーの招待が来ました。Spotifyのフォロワーもたくさん増えていました。いつも聞いてくださって本当にありがとうございます。先週は新しい記事を書きました。日本の病院の文化について書きました。ウェブサイトにアップロードしています。日本に行く予定がある人は、ぜひチェックしてみてください。
Hello, this is episode 10 of season 2 of my podcast. I recently received an invitation to be an ambassador for Anchor as my podcast has recently reached a certain number of plays, and I've also gained a lot of followers on Spotify, so I'd like to thank you all for listening to my podcast and for your support. Last week I wrote a new article. I wrote about the culture of Japanese clinics. It is uploaded on my website. If you are planning to visit Japan, please check it out.
今日は大阪マラソンの日でした。家の近くの道路はマラソンのコースになっていたので、たくさん警備員がいました。マラソンを走っていたのは半分ぐらい女性でした。調べたら、参加者の24%ぐらいが女性だそうです。また、外国人の参加者が増えているようです。今年は9回目の大会だそうですが、1回目に比べると約10倍に増えています。外国人で一番多いのは香港の人です。香港は「香港国際マラソン」の開催地です。約7万人が参加するそうです。だから香港にはマラソンをする人が多いのかもしれません。
Today was the day of the Osaka Marathon. The road near my house was the course of the marathon, so there were many security guards. Half of the people running the marathon were women. I found out that about 24% of the participants were women. Also, the number of foreign participants seems to be increasing. This year is the ninth marathon, and compared to the first one, the number of foreign participants has increased by about ten times. The largest number of foreigners are from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the host of the Hong Kong International Marathon. Around 70,000 people take part in this event. Maybe that is why there are so many marathon runners in Hong Kong.
最近は体調を崩していたので、少し気分が落ち込んでいました。でも、いいことを発見しました。昨日の午後、久しぶりに美容院に行きました。そこでシャンプーがとてもいい香りに感じました。不思議に思ったので、美容院で同じ香りのヘアオイルを買って帰りました。このオイルはオーガニックで、たくさんのハーブが使われています。この香りを嗅いでいると、とても気分が落ち着きます。調べたら、アロマセラピーには心理学的効果だけではなく、医学的効果も認められているんですね。

Japanese Lessons with Mayuna

S2 Ep10. マラソン大会

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

How to overcome shyness with a coach - Episode 76

Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo, a Spanish tutor at italki, and today we're going to talk about some Colombian words that you may not find in your regular dictionary. Let's see what they mean!

Vaina: En Colombia, "vaina" se usa de manera muy general para referirse a algo cuando no sabemos o no queremos decir el nombre exacto de lo que estamos mencionando, algo similar a "whatchamacallit" o "thing" en inglés. Es una palabra muy versátil, y su significado depende del contexto. Ejemplo: "¿Pasó algo con esa vaina?" o "No sé cómo se llama esa vaina, pero me gusta."

Yeyo: "Yeyo" describe un malestar o una sensación física fuerte, generalmente después de un desmayo o una caída. Es como el dolor o la incomodidad que alguien siente cuando se desmaya o se siente muy mal. Ejemplo: "Me dio un yeyo cuando vi la noticia."

Perrenque: Aunque en el diccionario de colombianismos "perrenque" se interpreta como un "látigo" o "zurriago", en muchas regiones de Colombia se refiere a algo mucho más positivo. Se usa para describir a alguien con mucha energía, valentía, fuerza o coraje. Es algo como una actitud poderosa o audaz. Ejemplo: "El equipo jugó con perrenque y ganó el partido."

Aguacatado: Esta palabra describe a una persona que se muestra sin gracia, aburrida o con una actitud pretenciosa, a menudo exagerando su estilo o su comportamiento. Es un término que refleja una actitud que no genera simpatía o no tiene mucha energía. Ejemplo: "Ese tipo es muy aguacatado, siempre está presumiendo."

And that's all for today. If you have questions or want to learn more about Colombian Spanish, don't hesitate to book a class with me. You can find more information in my profile. See you next time!
