As an English teacher one naturally becomes more and more nit-picky over time (overly detail oriented.) Hopefully you'll find that quality useful when listening to my podcast. 

Nit-Picky English with Nika 

Hoy en Español en Acción vamos a explorar la cultura pop en el mundo hispano.

In an executive order signed on January 20, President Donald Trump instructed the US attorney general to pause enforcement of the US ban on TikTok for 75 days while his administration decides the platform's future.

US officials and lawmakers have long been concerned that TikTok's ownership by the Chinese company ByteDance poses a threat to national security. Under a federal law passed in Congress last year and upheld by the Supreme Court last week, ByteDance was required to sell the platform to an approved buyer by January 19 or face a nationwide ban.

On the evening of January 18, a few hours before the ban took effect, TikTok became unusable for US users. But it came back online the following day, after Trump said on social media he would order the ban to be paused.

However, Trump's order could face legal challenges because he does not have the power to overturn a law that Congress has passed and the Supreme Court has upheld.

Nevertheless, Trump's order will buy time for ByteDance and TikTok to figure out their next move.

Trump has proposed terms in which the US would have a 50% stake "in a joint venture" with ByteDance, but it was unclear how this would work.

Trump has also not addressed whether he will allow ByteDance to keep controlling the algorithm that controls what users see on TikTok. The algorithm is maintained by ByteDance engineers in China and is one of the main concerns among supporters of the law.

After the law was passed last year, ByteDance fought a legal battle against it for months. ByteDance and TikTok have not said whether they are willing to cut ties with each other within the new 75-day extension period.

On January 21, Trump was asked whether he's installed the app on his phone. The US government has banned it from federal devices due to concerns it could lead to spying by Chinese intelligence agencies.

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。

今日もN2やりましょう！
〜にて、をやります。
これは、〜で、と同じなんですけど、
場所 手段・方法 時間 原因・理由

これらを話したい時に使います。
早速例文、いきましょう！

・本日のイベントは大通公園にて行われます。

・場所がわからない場合は、電話にてご連絡ください。

・それでは、会場にてみなさまをお待ちしております。

・その案件は、昨日の会議にて話し合われました。

・あのドキュメンタリーは宮内庁にて撮影されたそうです。


はい、こんな感じです。
いつもの例文と少し違います。
カジュアルな感じではないですね。

そうです。この、にて、はビジネスとかフォーマルな時に使います。少しかたい表現です。

ですので、ぼくは普段使いませんが、ニュースや日常生活で聞くことはあると思うので、今回、にて、にしました。

いろんな使い方がありますが、〜で、とだいたい同じだと思うと簡単かもしれません。

いつも通り、声に出したり、例文を作ったりしてください。覚えやすくなりますよ。

ということで、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！
