¿Qué es una muletilla?
En general, son palabras o frases que son repetidas con frecuencia por el interlocutor quien intenta plantear una idea para la cual no encuentra o no tiene las palabras necesarias o acertadas. Las muletillas si son usadas repetitivamente pueden empobrecer el idioma y la comunicación ya que son expresiones innecesarias que no llevan implícito ningún valor o contenido informativo. Estas frases suelen ser vacía y sin sentido ya que se emplean solo por hábito.

¿Cuál es su significado? 
Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española define muletilla como “voz o frase que se repite mucho por hábito“. Es decir, es una palabra o una frase innecesaria que se repite en una conversación, por costumbre o como apoyo al hablar. 

En realidad, puedes eliminar las muletillas de la frase y no cambia el sentido, mira estos ejemplos:

1. ¿Sabes hablar español, no?
-   Sabes hablar español?

2. A ver, yo te entiendo pero tú sabes, es complicado…
-   Yo te entiendo pero es complicado…

3. El otro día fuimos a cenar en plan todos los amigos juntos.
-   El otro día fuimos a cenar todos los amigos juntos.

Aunque sean innecesarias y sean repetitivas, esto no quiere decir que no se usen en el DÍA A DÍA. La realidad es que todos tenemos preferencias propias en cuanto a las muletillas, normalmente no las elegimos, sino que nos las vamos apropiando conforme nos vamos relacionando con los hablantes nativos.

En definitiva, las muletillas son una pieza más del puzle de la comunicación y del Español.

¿Qué son las muletillas del lenguaje? 

Hello. Today, I will talk a little about the way to say "20 years old" that comes up in the first Chapter of Minna no Nihongo.
At 20 years old, it’s fine to say “にじゅっさい” (nijussai), but there’s also another way to say it: “はたち” (hatachi).　Japanese counters can be challenging to remember, as they are not “いちさい” (ichisai) but rather “いっさい” (issai), and not “しちさい” (shichisai) but “ななさい” (nanasai). Occasionally, there are completely different expressions, like for 20 years old. It can be difficult, but let’s do your best to memorize them.

As for “はたち,” in Lesson 5, the date “20th”  is also expressed as “はつか.” Perhaps ancient Japanese people used the character “は” to mean 20. Connecting these two ideas might make it a bit easier to remember. Keep up the good work!

Now, a little update regarding my course: I have launched a new Minna no Nihongo course. The content is exactly the same, but it can be taken with two people. It’s also possible with three or more, but in that case, the lesson fee will change a little bit.
Of course, just like the regular Minna no Nihongo course, there will be plenty of homework. If anyone would like to take it with a friend, please give it a try!

Alright, everyone, keep studying hard!

【结语】
我们为什么要出走，有时是想逃逸，有时是想恋爱，有时是怀念诗意。
无论如何，总有一个理由让我们想要暂时离开熟悉的人和环境，去让自己放一下空。
那么，放下当前的平凡，试着投入和体验另一种平凡。
平凡处，亦是闪光处。

在生活中，你是否经常去旅行，或者想要去旅行呢，又是什么驱使你想要踏上旅程呢？

Vol.16 ごはんの友だち　Friends of Rice。

Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Cara Leopold, an English Teacher known as the Listening Expert. We covered a lot of topics, so this will be the first of two episodes with our conversation. The main theme of our conversation was building great listening skills in another language. In this first episode, we talk about the importance of listening when learning another language, including pronunciation, and what to do when you don’t understand your colleagues in meetings.  Here are some gems from this episode:

“People might think, “I spend most of my time speaking.” But listening is actually the skill that dominates. So by that logic, the foundation for also learning future languages should be listening.”

“So what’s really helped me to get fluent in French is observing what people say, understanding them, and then copying them.”

“Notice the expressions that people keep using and then use them. You will sound more authentic because you'll be using what the people around you actually say, as opposed to what you read in a book or what you got out of a list of 100 idioms.”

Tune in to get more valuable insights from Cara, so you’ll understand more of what people say around you! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode.
