ADEL ALBANNA: A PROFISSIONAL ARABIC TEACHER

Sit Less, Move More, Live Longer, Says Study
As a new year begins, many of us have been making plans for the months ahead — things we want to do, places we want to go, and parts of our lives we want to change.

And one study from 2022 has some simple advice to share that we might be able to use in 2023: sit less, move more.

Okay, so it's not a new message, but the researchers found that the results of their large study provide more evidence that long periods of sitting are bad for our health.

This is true across the world, but especially in lower-income countries, they said.

The researchers followed more than 105,000 adults — aged between 35 and 70 — for an average of around 11 years.

They looked at how much time the participants — who were from 21 different countries — spent sitting down each day.

And they also wanted to know about their health as the years passed. In total, there were more than 6,200 deaths and almost 5,700 cases of serious heart problems during the study.

Using this information, the researchers found that people who said they sat for eight or more hours per day were at a much higher risk of early death or serious heart disease.

These people were increasing their risk by as much as 20%, according to the researchers, but they added that doing exercise could help reduce these risks.

Scott Lear, who was one of the study's authors, said: "It's a global problem that has a remarkably simple fix. Scheduling time to get out of that chair is a great start."

 Sit less, Move More

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN3の漢字をやります！
王、をやります！　

音読み　おう
訓読み　きみ

意味は、トップの人、力、とかそんな感じです。

例えば、

・王道ーおうどう　「王道」はもともと「簡単な道」「近道」などの意味でしたが、今は「正攻法」「なにかを進める時の1番間違いない方法」というような意味で使うことが多いです

・国王ーこくおう　King 国のトップ

・王座ーおうざ　王のポジション

・ホームラン王ーほーむらんおう　今年1番ホームランを打った人

・王手ーおうて　もとは将棋の言葉ですが、転じて今はスポーツなどで、優勝まであと一歩までに近づいていることをいいます。




こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・日本語上達の王道は、毎日Podcastを聞くことです。

・彼は歴史上、最後の国王となった。

・彼は長い苦しい時期をこえ、王座についた。

・今年、大谷翔平は日本人初のホームラン王になった。

・9回ツーアウト！いよいよ優勝に王手をかけました！

こんな感じです。

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！

Use 'Go Over' In Your Speech Right Away with This Podcast Episode

大家好，我是Honglin老师，欢迎来到我的汉字频道。
这是我的第二条推送。今天要和你们分享的是，“口”字，一家五口人的“口”，吃饭和说话会用到的“口”，或者说，我们的嘴巴。

口，是一个象形字，它的形状长得就像我们的嘴巴。最开始的“口”，是一个圆形，就像我们说“啊”的时候，嘴巴张开的样子。而且两边的竖很长，看起来就像一个英文字母的H，只不过最下面还有一横。后来圆的慢慢变成方的，两边的竖也变短，就变成了现在的“口”，就像一个正方形。“口”这个字，是汉字里变化最小的字之一，也是一些字的偏旁，表示和嘴巴相关的动作或者物品。比如，“吃”，吃东西的吃，就是用的“口”字旁。

那含有“口“字的词语也很多，今天给大家分享一个网络用语，“口嗨”。

“嗨“你可以理解成英文的“high“，兴奋的意思。口嗨的意思就是虽然话说得很漂亮，说可以做或者要做一件事，听起来很兴奋，但是行动上却做不到，说到却做不到。比如，你有一个朋友天天和你说，“哎呀，下次来我的城市，一定要告诉我，我带你玩，我带你吃好吃的，保证你满意“。但等你真的到了他那里，他说的这些要带你做的事，一件也没做。那你就可以说，“哎，他只是口嗨啦“。

J'apprends à compter (I'm learning to count)

Nivel: A2. B1.

Tema: En inglés To Ask For, y To Ask.., pero en español.... Pedir y Preguntar.  

Hoy respondemos esta pregunta de gramática: ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre Pedir y Preguntar?. 

Para ello hacemos muchos ejemplos. La diferencia es sutil y es importante el contexto. 

Otro detallito interesante es el uso de las preposiciones que necesitas en cada caso.

Ah, tengo una pregunta... ¿ya programaste tu proxima clase? :D! 

Gracias por escuchar, por responder el cuestionario  y por los comentarios. 
Chao chao,
Rocío.
