안녕하세요! 오늘은 한국에서만 볼 수 있는 독특한 아이스크림 이름, *엄마는 외계인 (Mom is an Alien)*의 이야기를 소개하려고 합니다. 이 이름의 숨은 이야기를 들어볼까요?

"엄마는 외계인"은 배스킨라빈스에서 가장 인기 있는 초콜릿 아이스크림 중 하나예요. 그런데 원래 이 아이스크림의 국제적인 이름은 Puss in Boots, 즉 "장화 신은 고양이"였습니다. 그렇다면 왜 한국에서는 "엄마는 외계인"으로 이름이 바뀌었을까요?

2000년대 초반, 배스킨라빈스 코리아는 감동적인 광고를 선보였습니다. 
이 광고에서는 아이가 아빠에게 "엄마는 어디 갔어요?"라고 묻는데요, 아빠는 정확한 답을 주기 어려워 밤하늘의 별을 가리키죠. 
이 광고는 많은 한국 사람들에게 큰 감동을 주었고, 결국 이 아이스크림의 이름도 "엄마는 외계인"으로 바뀌게 되었어요.

이 아이스크림은 세 가지 초콜릿 맛—초콜릿 아이스크림, 초콜릿 퍼지, 초콜릿 칩—으로 구성되어 있어요. 달콤하고 진한 맛이지만, 이름은 조금 슬프고도 따뜻한 감정을 떠올리게 하죠. 이렇게 마케팅에 따라 특별한 이야기와 감성을 담아서 한국 만의 아이스크림인 것 같은 독특한 이름이 탄생했네요.

혹시 여러분도 배스킨라빈스에서 [엄마는 외계인]을 먹어본 적이 있나요? 
아니면 다른 특별한 이름을 가진 한국 음식을 알고 있나요? 댓글로 여러분의 경험을 나눠주세요!

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,

The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal (pronounced /ˌtɑːdʒ mə'hɑːl/) is a famous mausoleum next to the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. A mausoleum is a building where people bury the dead. The name Taj Mahal means 'the crown of palaces'.

1. 
The most famous part of the Taj Mahal is the large white dome in the centre. It is 35 metres high and is surrounded by four smaller domes. The rooms inside the building are decorated with beautiful archways and precious stones in the walls. The buildings are surrounded by gardens with pathways, pools, fountains and green gardens.

2.
The construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632 and finished in 1653. It was built with materials from all over India and Asia, but the main material is white marble. Historians believe that the materials were transported by over 1,000 elephants for the construction.

3.
The emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a burial place for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to legend, he wanted to build another Taj Mahal in black on the other side of the river, but this never happened. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, many parts of the Taj Mahal were damaged by British soldiers, who took some of the precious stones from its walls. Over the years, the Taj Mahal has suffered from environmental damage, and there have been many government attempts to conserve its beauty.

4.
The Taj Mahal is one of India's most famous landmarks. There are millions of visitors to the mausoleum every year. The Taj Mahal is almost always included in lists of famous buildings to visit and is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ferry Boat Rides: Real English Conversations Podcast On Italki

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

生徒さんにあった話を前回のPodcastで話しました。
その後に、白鶴酒造資料館に行ってきましたので、その時の話を簡単にします。

白鶴は日本のお酒を作る会社です。
神戸の灘という地域は、日本の中でも酒どころとして有名なようです。この地域には、良質の水(宮水というそうです)があるので酒造りに適していた、ということですね。

そして、この資料館は、1910年代に建てられた建物を1982年に資料館に変えたそうです。

ここでは、酒造りの工程を知ることができます。
洗米ーせんまい
蒸米ーむしまい
放冷ーほうれい
麹室ーこうじむろ
酛仕込みーもとしこみ
三段仕込みーさんだんじこみ
上槽ーじょうそう
滓引き、火入れーおりびき、ひいれ
貯蔵ーちょぞう
樽詰ーたるづめ
という工程があるようです。

たくさんの工程がありますね。
僕もはじめて聞く言葉がたくさんあります。

そしてきき酒もありました。
3種類の日本酒を飲むことができました。
その中の1つにゆずのフレーバーが入っている日本酒がありましたが、とてもフルーティで美味しかったです！

僕はお酒をあまり飲まないですし、日本酒もあまり興味がありませんでしたが、作られている工程を知ったりすると、他の飲み物や食べ物と共通点を見つけたりできで興味がわきますね！

個人的には、3つ目の工程、放冷というところの作業がコーヒーを乾燥させる工程と似ていたので、とてもおもしろかったです。ここで一気に興味をひかれました。

ここは無料で入れる資料館です。
お酒が好きな人にとって、とても楽しい場所かもしれませんね！

ということで、今回は白鶴酒造資料館について話しました！
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！
