I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

SERBIAN TO GO

4 НАЧИНА да кажеш – I am hungry… на српском – 4 WAYS to say – I am hungry… in Serbian (A1-А2)

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

いま、日本では、東京(とうきょう)にひっこす人が増(ふ)えています。

そんなニュースをみました。

東京にひっこす人が増えています。

東京は人気なんですね。

ひっこしをする、生活する場所をかえることです。

たとえば、

"この4月から東京へひっこしをします。
東京の大学に通います。"

"去年(きょねん)、
大阪(おおさか)から神戸(こうべ)へ、
仕事(しごと)のために、ひっこしをしました。"

と言います。

ニュースにもどります。

きょねんの一年間で、

東京から、ひっこしをした人は、
つまり出て行った人は、
約38万人でした。

東京に、ひっこしてきた人は、
つまり入ってきた人は、
約45万人でした。

たくさんの人がうごいています。

でも、ひっこしをしてきた人の方が多いですね。
日本でいちばん人口(じんこう)が多いのが東京都(とうきょうと)です。
2番目(にばんめ)はどこか知っていますか？


では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

关于儿童长高的讨论

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘 팟캐스트에서는 한국어에서 자주 쓰이지만 학습자들에겐 생소할 수 있는 표현
[ -가지고]에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요. 
우리가 흔히 아는 [그래서, -기 때문에, 왜냐하면] 등의 여러 표현 외에도, 일상 대화에서 [-가지고]라는 표현을 굉장히 많이 사용해요.
영어로는 ‘because’ 나 ‘since’의 의미로 이해하면 돼요.

우선, [-가지고]는 약간 구어체적인 느낌을 주는데요, 특히 친구들끼리 편하게 대화할 때 자주 쓰여요. 
예를 들어, “아, 늦잠 자가지고 수업에 늦었어”라고 하면 “늦잠 자서 수업에 늦었어”와 비슷한 의미지만, 좀 더 캐주얼하게 들리죠.

예문으로 볼까요?
"배가 너무 고파가지고 편의점에서 뭐 좀 샀어."

여기서 -가지고는 "너무 배고파서"의 뜻이에요. 이렇게 가볍게 이유를 덧붙이는 느낌이죠.

"버스를 놓쳐가지고 학교에 걸어갔어."

“버스를 놓쳐서”라고 할 수도 있지만, [-가지고]를 쓰면 좀 더 말하는 사람의 불만스러운 느낌이 잘 살아요.

마찬가지로,
"길이 막혀가지고 늦었어."

길이 막혀서 늦었어 대신, 더 원어민스러운 느낌이 들죠.

여러분도 평소 대화에서 [-아서] 나 [-기 때문에] 대신 [-가지고]를 한번 써보세요!
한국인 친구들이 여러분의 한국어 실력에 깜짝 놀랄지도 몰라요!
