Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

Season 2 : Episode 6 :”Tokyo’s Summer” (30-minute episodes)

무슨 일 있어요?
요즘 얼굴에 근심이 가득해 보여요.
有什么事吗？
最近看起来很郁郁寡欢。

여자친구와 헤어진 지 벌써 세 달이 흘렀는데,
기분이 나아지지가 않아요.
跟女朋友分手已经三个月了，
心情还没有好转。

저런, 많이 힘들었군요.
참지 말고, 모든 걸 시간에 맡겨요.
哎呦，肯定很伤心吧。
别憋着，把一切都交给时间吧。

위로해 줘서 고마워요.
얘기 들으니 조금 마음이 편안해졌어요.
谢谢你的安慰。
听你一说，心里好受些了。

*어휘 词汇
근심이 가득하다 郁郁寡欢
참다 憋
위로하다 安慰

무슨 일 있어요? 有什么事吗？

こんにちは。
今日は自動詞と他動詞の意味の区別について説明します。
Today I will discuss the distinction between the meanings of transitive and intransitive verbs.

ルール１
(自動詞は「を」がつかない）
　例：ドアが閉まる。
　例：パソコンがつく。 
（他動詞は「を」がつく）
　例：ドアを閉める。
　例：パソコンをつける。
他動詞は結果、自動詞は原因です。
➀ドアを閉める。（原因）　ドアが閉まる。（結果）
　「私がドアを閉める」
　→ドアが閉まる。
②パソコンをつける。（原因）パソコンがつく。（結果）
　「私がパソコンをつける」
　→パソコンがつく。

例外が２つあります。
「を」がつく自動詞があります。Intransitive verbs with 「を」(exception)

１．
例１）空港を出発する。
例２）家を出る。
※「を」の意味は起点です。起点はスターティングポイントです。（「を」representing a starting point）
２．
例１）公園を歩く。
例２）橋を渡る。
※「を」は経路を表します。経路はルートです。（「を」for a route)

ルール２
他動詞のペアがない自動詞➀ (Only intransitive verb)
例１：雨が降（ふ）った。
例２：花が咲（さ）いた。
例３：今夜は月が明るく輝（かがや）いている。
自然に起こることを表しています。（indicates a state occurs natural)

他動詞のペアがない自動詞② (Only intransitive verb)
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
人や物への働きかけがない動作を表しています。
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things）
例１：子どもたちはいすに座った。
（子どもが座る）
例２：飛行機が空を飛んでいる。
　　　（飛行機が飛ぶ）
（Refers to an action that does not have any impelling effected on other people or things)
ルール３　自動詞がない動詞（only transitive verb）
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）
これらは、人や物への働きがある動作を表しています。
（refers to an action that has some impelling effect on other people or things)
例１：先生が子どもをしかった。
（Teacher scolded the child.）
例２：私はリーさんに仕事を頼んだ。
（I asked Mr Lee to do the job.）

わかりましたか？
わからなかったら、レッスンで聞いてください。

【意味】自動詞と他動詞（meanings between transitive and intransitive)

Recently, I coached a team of four – 2 talented software developers, a product manager, and a product designer – at a startup facing a decision. Their current product management system was a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and sticky notes, hindering collaboration and development. They needed to persuade their founder to adopt Jira, a project management tool.

We began by dissecting the founder's viewpoint.  Was it a fear of change? A concern about learning a new system?  Through open-ended questions and active listening, we discovered the founder valued efficiency and transparency.

The team knew the founder's needs and wants so we crafted a persuasive narrative.  The developers highlighted how Jira's bug tracking system would streamline communication and expedite fixes. The product manager showcased how Jira's visual boards would enhance project visibility, ensuring everyone was on the same page.  The designer emphasized the improved user interface and workflows, promoting user adoption.

We gathered data showcasing the wasted time and communication breakdowns caused by their current system. We contrasted it with quantifiable benefits of Jira – faster development cycles, improved team collaboration, and reduced errors.  

We set up a demo of Jira, showcasing how it addressed their specific pain points. I prepped the team to answer potential objections and provide examples of companies using Jira.

The final step was a unified presentation.  Each team member presented their department's perspective, painting a clear picture of the benefits across the development workflow. 

The founder, impressed by the team's research, data, and collaborative effort, agreed to a Jira trial.  Their persuasive communication, grounded in understanding their audience's needs and presenting a clear solution, secured a win for the entire team. This success story highlights the power of effective communication in driving positive change within a startup environment.

В этом подкасте решила немножко поговорить с вами на тему изучения иностранных языков. Надеюсь, вам будет интересно! 

Russian for daily life with Lena 📖💫

Изучение иностранных языков. 

I am an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite the spark of possibility through communication. I equip professionals with the skills of confident communication, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. I empower them to break down barriers, unlock their potential, and navigate our ever-connected world. My mission is to foster connections that create positive change, build bridges across cultures, and create a world where clear communication fuels growth, trust, and innovation.

What does that mean?
My work isn't just a job, it's a mission. As an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite a fire in people. Through the power of communication, I show them the possibilities that lie dormant within. I don't just teach; I equip.  I equip professionals with the tools they need to be confident communicators, understand the nuances of emotions, and think strategically. It's about empowering them to break down walls, unlock their full potential, and navigate the ever-evolving world of connection. My ultimate goal? To foster connections that drive positive change.  I envision a world where clear communication builds bridges across cultures, fostering trust, growth, and innovation. It's a world where communication isn't a barrier, but a bridge to a brighter future.


I don't invest in just teaching skills, I transform careers.  Imagine confidently presenting your ideas, navigating complex situations with emotional intelligence, and strategically solving problems. That's the impact I have. My clients land promotions because they radiate confidence and can advocate for themselves. They earn more because their strategic thinking adds value. They're trusted because they build strong relationships and clear communication fosters a foundation of trust.  And let's not forget new opportunities!  My clients stand out in the job market with a powerful communication skillset that makes them the ideal candidate.  I don't just equip you with skills, I equip you for success.
