There is nothing more rewarding in life than finding something you are passionate about. This is how I feel with yoga and the whole spiritual world. And you? Have you found your great passion or passions? What has it brought you in your life?


Hablando de todo

Natural Spanish Fluency

15/100 BEBER 🍹 Los 100 verbos más importantes en español

Here is a question to ask yourself: Are you a reader or a listener? Do you process information better in written form or when it’s delivered to you verbally? Have you ever thought about what the difference between the two is? A reader is someone who learns easily from reading from things like articles, textbooks, or even powerpoint slides. A listener learns from hearing things like lectures  or presentations.

Herkes bir şey istiyor.

This week’s episode is a little slower, a little softer — because I’ve been recovering from COVID. But even in moments of weakness, we can still learn. In this reflective lesson, I share a quiet story from my week in recovery and teach useful, real-life English you can use when you're sick, tired, or just in need of rest.

You’ll learn:

     - How to talk naturally about being sick in English

     - Gentle ways to cancel or reschedule plans

     - Useful expressions like “I’m on the mend” and “I’ve been resting up”

     - A mindfulness prompt to help you practice English through real-life reflection

Whether you’re under the weather or just craving a pause, this immersive episode invites you to slow down and reconnect — with English, and with yourself.

Breathe In, Breathe Out: Recovering and Reconnecting

Hoc pulcherrimum carmen vobis lego hodie cum prosodia latina. 

Ecce textus:
Cum tu, Lydia, Telephi
cervicem roseam, cerea Telephi
laudas bracchia, vae meum
fervens difficili bile tumet iecur.
tum nec mens mihi nec color
certa sede manet, umor
et in genas furtim labitur, arguens,
quam lentis penitus macerer ignibus.
uror, seu tibi candidos
turparunt umeros inmodicae mero
rixae, sive puer furens
inpressit memorem dente labris notam.
non, si me satis audias,
speres perpetuum dulcia barbare
laedentem oscula, quae Venus
quinta parte sui nectaris imbuit.
felices ter et amplius
quos inrupta tenet copula nec malis
divolsus querimoniis
suprema citius solvet amor die.

Story: The Honeymoon- part 3

こんにちは！Atsushiです！
今日の北海道の天気は曇り。
気温は23℃。

さて、今日は日本語の発音について。
というより、私が英語の発音の勉強をしていて、実感したことをお話します。

今、PodcastやYouTubeで英語の発音について、見たり聞いたりしています。

そこではじめて知ったことですが、
英語は喉の奥を使って息を吐きながら止めずに話すと良いそうです。
例えば、Helloだと、
日本語ぽく言うと、Hello
英語ぽく言うと、Hello

となるみたいです。
なんとなく違い伝わりますか？

では、日本語はどうか、というと、日本語は口の中の真ん中や先の方で発話しているんですね。

それから、息を切る、
ハキハキ話すイメージでしょうか。

こんにちは！とハキハキ話すと日本語らしく聞こえますね。
英語と同じ発話だと息を吐き出しながら話すので、日本語らしく聞こえにくいかもしれません。

私も英語の発音について、練習しはじめたばかりですし、とても難しく感じます。みなさんにとっても日本語のようにはっきりと話す発話は難しいかもしれませんが、練習をたくさんしましょう！

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！
