今天分享的是鲁迅先生的一段话，我个人非常喜欢。

“愿中国青年都摆脱冷气，只是向上走，不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事，能发声的发声。有一分热，发一分光。就令萤火一般，也可以在黑暗里发一点光，不必等候炬火。此后如竟没有炬火，我便是唯一的光。”

鲁迅：《愿中国青年都摆脱冷气》

Carnaval chez Cochonnet
Cochonnet, le petit cochon, a décidé que, pour le carnaval, il serait un loup. Évidemment, il n'en a parlé ni à ses parents ni à ses frères.
Le matin, sitôt éveillé, il s'est précipité dans le grenier, il a fouillé dans toutes les malles et a fini par être prêt. Vers midi, quand sa maman l'a appelé pour déjeuner, il a surgi dans la salle en poussant des hurlements féroces. La maman s'est évanouie, le père a pris son fusil, mais Cochonnet a éclaté d’un tel rire que tout le monde l’a reconnu.

皆さんは卒業旅行に行ったことがありますか？

日本語でおしゃべり　podcast for Japanese learners

＃15 大学時代の卒業旅行の話

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!

みんなの日本語Chapter One　20years old

American interviewers want to hear precise, simple, and clear answers. They don’t want to hear rambling or layered communication. Australians, Canadians, and Germans appreciate this communication style too.

On the other hand, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese interviewers are more likely to appreciate sophisticated, nuanced, and layered communication styles. 

In this episode, we dive into communication styles by nationality, and you’ll learn how to prepare for an interview with a hiring manager who expects concise answers.

If you’re accustomed to talking at length and rambling, modifying your communication style will take some effort. But, it’s possible if you follow the seven tips outlined in the episode. 

In this episode, you’ll also hear an example of a concise answer to the interview question, what would you do if you knew your boss was wrong about something?
