善于用兵的人，不会多次调动，粮草也不多次运送。国内征取一次之后，就应该设法从敌人那里弄到补给，这样，军队的粮草供应就可满足作战需求了...

《孙子兵法》06

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!

Neste episódio, eu e Martín, professor de Espanhol do México, trocamos impressões sobre o movimento surrealista no Brasil e no México. Citando artistas modernistas e surrealistas como a brasileira Tarsila do Amaral, a mexicana Frida Kahlo e a espanhola radicada no México Remedios Varo, traçamos diferenças e similaridades, tudo isso enquanto também fazemos um intercâmbio linguístico: Português-Espanhol! :)
