In questo episodio, ascolteremo cosa succede quando qualcuno decide di iscriversi all'Anagrafe del proprio comune di residenza. Avremo l'opportunità di seguire un dialogo tra una persona che ha bisogno di registrarsi e un impiegato del comune che la guida attraverso i vari passi. Attraverso la loro conversazione, scopriremo quali documenti sono necessari e come si svolge il processo. Ma non si tratta solo di burocrazia; ascolteremo anche come si sviluppa l'interazione tra le due persone, dagli scambi di base fino alla risoluzione di eventuali problemi che possono emergere. Questo episodio è pensato per chi deve affrontare questo passaggio o per chi semplicemente vuole sapere di più su come funziona la registrazione all'anagrafe, il tutto raccontato in modo diretto e con un occhio alla realtà quotidiana degli uffici anagrafe italiani.

Vol.84 セイさんと中国の食べ物などについて話し合う。

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."

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。

今日は、旅行の話をしようと思います。
皆さんは、旅行に行く時、何をメインにしますか？
例えば、食べ物ですか？
建物を見ることですか？美術館に行くことですか？
自然を見ることですか？その地域の人に会うことですか？

旅行にはいろんな目的がありますね。
僕にとっての旅行が最近少し変わってきました。

最近とても興味があるのは歴史ですね。
へー日本だと個人的には、北海道が歴史的にもとても面白い場所だと思います。
オススメです。
海外で旅行に行く時も今は歴史的な場所を探すのが1番の目的ですね。

実は前にも言ったかもしれないですけど、2月の後半にドイツとオランダに旅行に行く予定があります。

ドイツは僕が知っている中では歴史的な場所が多いですね。
ですので、見る場所がたくさんあるように感じます。

でもオランダは、僕は歴史をあまり知りません。
ですので、思ってたよりも行く場所が見つかりません。
こう言うと、オランダに興味がないように聞こえますが、そうではなくて、知らないだけなんです。

付け足すと、オランダに行きたいのは、観光というより、住む場所として見に行きたい、ということですね。自分たちがここで生活したいと思うかは、行ってみないとわからないです。ですので、行って確かめてみたいと思います。

旅行の話はおもしろいので、また話しますね。

みなさんの旅行の話も聞きたいです。
日本語で話したい！という方はぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

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！
