In our first ever episode we explore the question of how language influences thought. But does it? Apparently even the scientists don't quite agree yet.

The Age of Humans

Episode 1: The controversy of linguistic relativity

I interview my friend Sofie and she shares some tips for learning strategies and improving your accent. This is the second half of our conversation. Please check out the first half as well (English Advice from a Pro - Part One).

In the second half of the episode (starting at 16:24), I explain the following phrases:

to make up ground (appears at 5:45)
at the end of the day (appears at 7:22)
to pick up (appears at 14:05)

012 - English Advice from a Pro (Part Two)

Ciao a tutti! Oggi vi racconto il sogno che ho fatto stanotte, non vi preoccupate, nulla di erotico! Colgo l'occasione per farvi notare alcune differenze fra l'inglese e l'italiano nell'utilizzo di alcuni verbi come realizzare o alcune espressioni che sono simili in entrambe le lingue ma che vengono usati in contesti diversi! Buon ascolto a tutti e buon inizio settimana!!! 
P.S 
l'espressione stringere i denti che utilizzo alla fine, significa resistere, con lo stesso significato si potrebbe utilizzare anche l'espressione: tenere duro. Esempio:
- Stringete i denti/Tenete duro fino a mercoledì! Significato > Resistete fino a mercoledì! 
Buona settimana a tutti e buono studio!

I made a song you can learn N5 and N4 Japanese with AI.
N5とN4の日本語が勉強できる歌を、AIで作りました。

歌詞はこちら↓
(verse 1)
今日は朝　早く起きた
お日さまが　きらきらしてる

いつもと同じ　毎日だけど
(Chorus)
行く、来る、見る　何でもできる
明日はもっと　楽しくなるかな
「どこか行きたい」と　君が言った
だから一緒に　歩いてみよう
(verse 2)
友達と　笑いながら
「本を読んで　休む時間」
今日はちょっと　疲れたけど
「元気を出して　もう一度頑張ろう」
(Chorus)
行く、来る、見る　何でもできる
明日はきっと　素敵な日になる
「これをしてみたい」と　君が言う
だから一緒に　挑戦してみよう
(outro)
日常の中で　小さな幸せ

この瞬間を　大切にしよう

In this episode we are going to learn 【Hobby 】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

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をやります！
〜ようとしている、をやります。
これは、もうすぐ〜する、と言うことを言いたい時に使います。


さっそく、例文、いきましょう！
 
・今、日本の試合が始まろうとしている

・新しい時代がはじまろうとしている。

・私の会社員生活も終わろうとしています。

・レフリーは笛を加え、終わりをつげようとしてる。


こんな感じですね！

〜ようとしている、はじまるとか終わるに使うことが多いですね。
自分で使うよりは、ニュースなどで聞くことが多いと思います。

いつもの通り、声に出して練習したり、自分で例文作ったりして練習してくださいね！


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！

Bedside Italian

Bedside Italian #5 - Giardinaggio Lunare.

▼Script
日本語って短く略（りゃく）すのが多いんだけど、今日それを考えてたのね。そしたら結構 略してる言葉がたくさんあって、発音するのが難しいな～とか長いな～とか思ってる人がいたら本当使ってほしい！

Japanese is often abbreviated in short sentences, and I was thinking about that today. I found a lot of words that are abbreviated.I really want people to use them if they find them difficult to pronounce or too long!


まず、タイトルにも書いてるんだけど、「ポケモン」ね。これって「ポケットモンスター」の略なの。そして「マクドナルド」は「マック」っていうんだけど、大阪の人は「マクド」っていうよ。「マクドナルド」の発音が難しかったら「マックどこですか？」って言えばOKだよ。

First of all, the title says it all: "Pokemon”. It stands for "Pocket Monster”. And "McDonald's" is called "Makku," but people in Osaka call it "makudo”. If you have difficulty pronouncing "McDonald's," say, "Where is Makku?(Makku wa doko desuka?) It's OK if you say.


あと「ケンタッキーフライドチキン」は「ケンタ」、「ユニバーサルスタジオジャパン」は「ユニバ」、「スターバックス」は「スタバ」....うーん、あと、、、コンビニの「セブンイレブン」は「セブン」、「ファミリーマート」は「ファミマ」、「ローソン」は...略しません！「ローソン」は「ローソン」だよ！

And "Kentucky Fried Chicken" is "Kenta", "Universal Studios Japan" is "Yuniba", and "Starbucks" is "Sutaba". .... Ummm...also...convenience stores "7-Eleven" is "Seven", "Family Mart" is "Famima", "Lawson" is... They don't abbreviate! Lawson is "Lawson"!


あと「タピオカを飲む」は「タピる」、「あー、なるほどね」は「あーね」とかも言うよ！

We also say "tapiru" for "drink tapioca (Tapioka wo nomu)" and "ah, I see(a—, naruhodone)" for "a–—ne"!


あとあとアイスクリームの「バスキン・ロビンス(Baskin-Robbins)」ってあるじゃん？もし日本で「バスキン・ロビンスどこですか？」って言っても日本人わからないんだよね。「サーティーワン(31)どこですか？」ってきいたらわかるよ！

And there is also an ice cream shop called "Baskin-Robbins", right? If you ask, "Where is Baskin-Robbins?(Baskin-Robbins wa doko desuka?)" in Japan, the Japanese don't understand. If you ask "Where is Thirty One?(Thirty One wa doko desuka?)", The Japanese will understand!
