It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想介绍给大家的歌是王菲的《如愿》。这首歌是电影《我和我的父辈》的主题曲。作曲者说这是献给父母一辈的歌，致敬他们，正是他们一辈辈的奋斗与奉献，给大家创造了现在更好的环境和生活，也希望听歌的听众们能获取更多感动和力量，去传承，去奋斗。
《如愿》
你是遥遥的路
山野大雾里的灯
我是孩童啊走在你的眼眸
你是明月清风
我是你照拂的梦
见与不见都一生与你相拥
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
你是岁月长河
星火燃起的天空
我是仰望者就把你唱成歌
你是我之所来
也是我心之所归
世间所有路都将与你相逢
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
山河无恙烟火寻常
可是你如愿的眺望
孩子们啊安睡梦乡
像你深爱的那样
而我将梦你所梦的团圆
愿你所愿的永远
走你所走的长路
这样的爱你啊
我也将见你未见的世界
写你未写的诗篇
天边的月心中的念
你永在我身边
与你相约一生清澈
如你年轻的脸

안녕하십니까? KBC 뉴스입니다. 오늘은 한국의 대선에 대한 주요 정보를 전해드리겠습니다.

한국의 대통령 선거는 5년마다 한 번씩 치러지며, 국민의 직접 투표로 대통령을 선출합니다. 대통령의 임기는 단임 5년제로, 연임이 불가능합니다. 이번 대선은 정치, 경제, 사회 전반에 걸친 다양한 이슈가 쟁점이 되고 있어 많은 국민들의 관심을 받고 있습니다.

이번 대선에는 여당과 야당을 포함한 여러 정당의 후보들이 출마하여 경쟁을 벌이고 있습니다. 주요 후보들은 경제 성장, 일자리 창출, 복지 정책 강화, 외교 관계 개선 등 다양한 공약을 내세우며 유권자들의 지지를 얻기 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 특히, 부동산 정책과 교육 개혁이 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있습니다.

대선 과정은 예비 후보 등록, 공식 후보 선출, 선거운동, 사전투표, 본투표의 단계를 거쳐 진행됩니다. 이번 선거에서는 유권자들의 편의를 위해 전국적으로 사전투표소가 확대 운영될 예정이며, 해외 거주 국민들도 재외국민 투표를 통해 참여할 수 있습니다. 또한, 공정한 선거를 위해 선거관리위원회가 철저한 감시와 관리에 나서고 있습니다.

대선은 대한민국의 미래를 결정하는 중요한 행사입니다. 국민 한 사람 한 사람의 소중한 한 표가 국가의 방향을 좌우하게 됩니다. 각 후보들의 공약과 정책을 꼼꼼히 비교하고 신중하게 선택하는 것이 중요합니다. 이번 대선에서 국민의 뜻이 어떻게 반영될지 귀추가 주목됩니다.

이상으로 한국의 대통령 선거에 대한 주요 내용을 전해드렸습니다. 앞으로도 정확하고 공정한 보도로 찾아뵙겠습니다. 시청해 주셔서 감사합니다.

Fear #2 Being afraid of making mistakes

The fear of making mistakes persecutes many people, regardless of their achievements, age and social status. Where does the fear of making a mistake come from, and how to overcome it?

Many people are hesitant to do something serious, not so much because they are afraid of failure, but because of fear of public condemnation or censure.

Often, such anti-motivation is a consequence of a hidden inferiority complex: a person is so dependent on public opinion that he loses the ability to make decisions on his own.

In the podcast I will share some ideas about the fear and what do top managers look for in their employees (since C-level managers are my regular students).

Grab a comfortable sit, make yourself comfortable and dive deep into the recording.

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

さて、今回は海外旅行の続きに戻ります。
2月の終わりに行った、ドイツとオランダへの海外旅行の話をしています。

今回はオランダの2日目、マーストリヒトを歩いた、という話です。

ここは、先日仲良くなったitalkiの日本語の先生に教えてもらった場所です。彼女がオランダに住んでいた時に、1度行ったことがある場所で、とても気に入った、ということを聞いて、今回の旅行で行くことに決めました。

少しマーストリヒトについて説明します。みなさんは聞いたことがありますか？僕は全く知らない街でした。

世界史を勉強していた人は知っているかもしれないですが、マーストリヒト条約があった街ですね。1991年12月、マーストリヒトでEC（欧州共同体）首脳会議で合意された欧州連合条約が結ばれた場所です。 EU（欧州連合）が創設されー新しく作られ、経済・通貨同盟の設定、共通の安全保障政策、欧州市民権などを規定したんですね。ここからEUができたんですね。

それだけではなくて、歴史的な場所も残っている、古き良きものが残りながら、モダンな印象もある、とてもおもしろい街でした。

いろいろおもしろいところがありました。

この本屋さんは、昔、教会だった場所です。
今までこの教会を使って、プロレスがあったり、いろんなことを試したようですが、今は本屋さんになっています。
奥にはカフェがあり、教会の雰囲気を感じながら本を探すことができます。これははじめての体験でした。

それから、この本屋にはたくさんの日本の本がありました。特にマンガですね。
鬼滅の刃
デスノート
鋼の錬金術師
ドラゴンボール
SPY×FAMILY

などなど。

ジブリの本もありました。
本当にいろんなマンガが置いてあって、とても嬉しかったです。日本からこんなに離れた場所に、日本のマンガを買ってくれている人がいると思うと、ワクワクしました。


本屋の話だけしましたが、昔の要塞の跡が残っていたり、街の中心には大きな川が流れていたり、カフェやレストラン、雑貨や服屋さん、本当にたくさんの店もありました。

いろんな景色が楽しめたマーストリヒトはとてもおもしろかったです。

ということで、今回はマーストリヒトの街を歩いた話をしました。

今、日本に旅行をする人もとても増えていますね。
僕のitalkiのレッスンを予約してくれる方も、今年日本に行きます！だから日本語の練習をしたい、という方が多いです。

言葉はもちろんですが、文化や習慣なども気になりますよね。オンラインレッスンでは、そういうった話もできます。

話したい！と思った方はぜひ、italkiで僕のトライアルレッスンを予約してみてくださいね！

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！
