The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations

Halo semua! Apa kalian menikmati akhir minggu dengan baik?
Hari ini saya punya cerita menarik! Hari Jumat minggu lalu, waktu bertemu dengan salah satu murid saya, saya bilang “Di Indonesia, banyak polisi tidur di jalan loh”. Terus, murid saya bingung, “Polisi tidur di jalan? Untuk apa? Itu sangat bahaya kan!” Dia kaget banget! 
Ya, ya, “Polisi tidur” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “speed bump”, tapi saya pikir di Jepang tidak ada polisi tidur ya, jadi artinya polisi tidur adalah 車の速度を落とさせるための道路上の段差のこと。Menarik kan! 
Di Indonesia, biasanya di area yang ada sekolah atau di jalanan kecil, banyak polisi tidur. Kadang-kadang ada 4, 5 polisi tidur. Jadi, kalau kalian pergi ke Indonesia, jangan kaget melihat banyak polisi tidur di jalan. Hehe.. Ok, Sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi! 

Akhir minggu

Polisi tidur

सच्चा मित्र  वही है जो मित्र के दुख में काम आता आता है। वह मित्र के बहुत छोटे से छोटे कष्ट को भी मेरु पर्वत के सामान भारी मानकर उसकी सहायता करता है। मित्र सुख-दुख का साथी है। वह केवल दुख में ही नहीं सुख में भी खुशियां बांटता है।
सच्चे दोस्त हमेशा एक-दूसरे का ख्याल रखते हैं। सच्ची दोस्ती में स्वार्थ की कोई जगह नहीं होती।

How Important Is Self-Discipline In One's Journey Of Improving Their Language Enhancement?

Self-Motivation: While external motivation, such as teachers or language partners, can be helpful, self-discipline is the internal motivation that keeps the student going even when external support is not available.

Independence in Learning: Self-disciplined students can take charge of their own learning. They seek out resources, practice consistently, and actively engage in learning activities without constant supervision.

Language Immersion: Immersing oneself in the English language is an effective way to improve language skills. Self-discipline allows students to seek out English media, books, and conversations, enhancing their language exposure.

Consolidating Learning: Repetition and reinforcement are essential for language acquisition. Self-disciplined students review and practice regularly, which helps consolidate what they have learned.

Adaptability: Self-disciplined students can adapt their learning methods and approaches to suit their preferences and needs. They are open to trying new techniques and finding what works best for them.

Long-Term Commitment: Learning a language is a long-term endeavor. Self-discipline ensures that the student remains committed and dedicated to their language learning goals over an extended period.

Confidence and Empowerment: Self-discipline leads to achievements and progress, which, in turn, boosts the student's confidence and sense of empowerment in their language abilities.

The Habits of Highly Effective English Communicators

Self-Discipline and the importance of it 

Sophie knows what it’s like to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety in learning. When she was younger, she often found herself overwhelmed when studying, fearing that her efforts wouldn’t pay off. Research shows that fear often stems from a lack of self-confidence, where we question our own abilities. Sophie’s self-doubt was compounded by her parents’ high expectations, which made her feel like she could never measure up. Instead of motivating her, these pressures caused her to avoid studying, fearing that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be “good enough.”

In adulthood, Sophie realized that her fear was more than just insecurity—it was often accompanied by a sense of learning guilt. This guilt made her feel undeserving of success. When she did well, she sometimes self-sabotaged by downplaying her accomplishments or giving up at the next hurdle. According to research, self-sabotage often results from feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth, where people create barriers to avoid possible failure. Sophie’s “learning guilt” made her believe she wasn’t truly capable or deserving of progress, reinforcing her tendency to give up rather than push forward.
