🌸 Songkran Festival Vocabulary 🌸

今日は家事(かじ)に関する語彙（ご）です。
みなさんは、お昼ごはん、どんなものを食べますか。
私は冷蔵庫にある残り物を食べることが多いです。昨日の夕飯のおかずや朝作った子供のお弁当の残り物です。残り物をレンジで温めるときは、ラップを軽くかけて温めます。
残り物がないときは、うどんやラーメンを作って食べます。

高校生の息子のお弁当は栄養バランスを考えて作るようにしています。

ちなみに、今日は、冷蔵庫に残り物がなかったので、うどんを作って食べました。

私がごはん作りで面倒（めんどう）なのは、野菜を刻むことです。あと、野菜の皮をむくことも嫌いです。
ご飯作りのあと、後片付けをしたり、洗い物をしたりするのも嫌いです。
ご飯を作るときは、いつもエプロンを付けています。洋服が汚れるのが嫌なので、必ずつけています。
なので、うちにいるときは、エプロンはつけっぱなしです。
エプロンをつけたまま、掃除機をかけたり、洗濯物をしたり、もちろんゴミ出しにも行きます。

みなさんも、家事をしますか。

SERBIAN TO GO

Зимовање на планини Тари (Србија) – Zimovanje na planini Tari (Srbija) (B1 and above)

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

How not to be rude in English? 

Quindi: sarebbe facile o diventerebbe veramente complicato avere una relazione con una persona che parla una lingua diversa dalla nostra?
Potrebbe essere difficile litigare?
Diventerebbe complicato spiegarsi meglio?
Ho colto l’occasione…. Oppure potrei dire che “ho preso spunto” da una lezione con Lisa che, come avrete capito, è tedesca e che ha una relazione con un uomo danese, il quale vive in Italia.
Lei ha detto che loro comunicano in inglese, perché il loro livello linguistico è molto alto.
Ma secondo me non è solo un fatto di comunicazione. Subentrerebbe la cultura, intesa come abitudini mentali: quello che è normale per me, non è normale per qualcun altro.
E poi c’è la questione della personalità, come dicevamo nell’intervista: siamo davvero noi stessi quando parliamo un’altra lingua?
Nei miei anni di insegnamento ho avuto molti studenti che volevano imparare l’italiano proprio perché il loro partner è italiano. 
Che gesto d’amore immenso. Imparare la lingua dell’altro per capirlo meglio!
Un antico proverbio italiano dice “moglie e buoi dei paesi tuoi”. Ma in un mondo così fluido, ha ancora senso un proverbio così?
Perché c’entra anche la questione scientifica che parlare una lingua straniera, o più idiomi, sembrerebbe aiutarci a vedere il mondo con occhi diversi. È una questione scientifica non ancora risolta.
Allora ve lo chiedo direttamente: parlare italiano vi fa vedere il mondo da un’altra prospettiva?
Sarebbe possibile per voi avere una relazione con una persona che parla un’altra lingua?
Anche una relazione di amicizia…. Sareste un vero amico – o una vera amica?
