おはようございます。

日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

今週(こんしゅう)は、私の日記(にっき)シリーズです。
過去(かこ)の話はどんな風(ふう)にするのか、
聞いて下さい。

今日は、一日中(いちにちじゅう)雨だったので、ずっと家にいました。

家で、日本語のレッスンをしたり、
英語(えいご)の勉強(べんきょう)をしたり、しました。

あと、YouTubeの編集(へんしゅう)をしました。

YouTubeをつくるのは、けっこう大変(たいへん)。

だから、見てくれてる人が多(おお)いとうれしいけど、
少(すく)
なくても、うれしいです。

ポットキャストも、たくさんの人が聞いてくれたら、うれしいけど‥

一人でも、よろこんでくれたら、うれしいです。

そんなことを思いました。

それから、お米を炊(た)きました。

いま、家には炊飯器(すいはんき)がないので、
ちょっと大変です。

私は、鍋(なべ)やフライパンをつかって、お米を炊きます。

今日はいいかんじに、できました。
おいしかったです。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

什么是“职场人设”？今天Karen和柏威聊了聊在职场上的那些事儿。


Chillchat (Learn Chinese and Chill)

你有“职场人设”吗？Do you have a “workplace persona”?

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"
