여러분이 가장 좋아하는 계절은 언제예요?
저는 따뜻한 봄과 시원한 가을을 좋아해요.
하지만 겨울을 싫어할 수 없는 이유...! 바로 크리스마스가 있기 때문이에요 :)

Do you like 크리스마스?

“这倒叫我有点紧张…我打不出哈欠来了…”小王子红着脸说。
"That frightens me... I cannot, any more..." murmured the little prince, now completely abashed.
“嗯！嗯！”国王回答道：“那么我…命令你忽而打哈欠，忽而…”
"Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I – I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to–"
他嘟嘟囔囔，显出有点恼怒。
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.
因为国王所要求的主要是保持他的威严受到尊敬。
For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected.
他不能容忍不听他的命令。
He tolerated no disobedience.
他是一位绝对的君主。
He was an absolute monarch.
可是，他却很善良，他下的命令都是有理智的。

But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.
“如果我命令一个将军,”他会说,举个例子,“如果我命令一个将军改变自己变成一个海鸟,”
"If I ordered a general," he would say, by way of example, "if I ordered a general to change himself into a sea bird,"
而这位将军不服从我的命令，那么这就不是将军的过错，而是我的过错。”
and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general. It would be my fault.
小王子腼腆地试探道：“我可以坐下吗？”
"May I sit down?" came now a timid inquiry from the little prince.
“我命令你坐下。”国王一边回答，一边庄重地把他那白底黑花皮袍大襟挪动了一下。
"I order you to do so," the king answered him, and majestically gathered in a fold of his ermine mantle.
可是小王子感到很奇怪。
But the little prince was wondering...
这么小的行星，国王他对什么进行统治呢？
The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
他对国王说：“陛下…请原谅，我想问您…”
"Sire," he said to him, "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question..."
国王急忙抢着说道：“我命令你问我。”
"I order you to ask me a question," the king hastened to assure him.
陛下…你统治什么呢？
Sire–over what do you rule?
国王非常简单明了地说：“我统治一切。”
"Over everything," said the king, with magnificent simplicity.
一切？
Over everything?
国王轻轻地用手指着他的行星和其他的行星，以及所有的星星。
The king made a gesture, which took in his planet, the other planets, and all the stars.
小王子说：“统治这一切？”
"Over all that?" asked the little prince.
“统治这一切。”国王回答。
"Over all that," the king answered.
原来他不仅是一个绝对的君主，而且是整个宇宙的君主。
For his rule was not only absolute: it was also universal.
那么，星星都服从您吗？
And the stars obey you?
“那当然！”国王对他说，“它们立即就得服从。我是不允许无纪律的。”

皆さん、お元気でしょうか。
ミア先生です。今日は　は　英語で　「がすき　です」　と　言う　文法について　お話ししたいと思います。
HELLO EVERYONE, How are you? Are you guys doing well? It’s me your Japanese teacher Mia.
So today we are going to learn about 「GA SUKI DESU」 Grammar. This is a JLPT N5 grammar point and we use this to say “I like something”.  

The structure or the word order of this grammar is pretty easy. You just need to say the noun and “ga suki desu” after that.
For example,  if you want to say “I like Apple”, 
we need to say I first, then Apple and Ga suki desu. Okay, let’s do this.
•	We know how to say I right, I is わたし(watashi)　in Japanese. 
•	And don’t forget は　particle,we need to say は（wa) particle after the subject of the sentence. 
•	So we say わたし　は　（Watashi wa） ,
•	and then we have to say apple ( apple is りんご　(ringo)　in Japanese)
•	and just say がすき　ですga suki desu 。
So It should beわたし　は　りんご　が　すきです。( watashi war ringo ga suki desu. )
See it’s that easy my friends. Okay now let’s say “I like cars”
Now we know I is わたし　は　、　and for car, we say くるま　
Okay, now it’s your chance to say the sentence. I am going to give you a few seconds.
はい、わたし　は　くるま　が　すき　です。That’s right.
Let’s do one more sentence, He likes Money.
He is かれ
Money is おかね
So how do we say “he likes money“　it’s かれ　は　おかね　が　すきです。(kare wa okane ga suki desu)
Perfect, Okay then this is a very simple grammar friends, I hope you learned it really well. Keep studying Japanese. I’ll meet you with another lesson. じゃ　がんばってね。。BYE BYE

Город Сочи.
Всем привет! Меня зовут Виктория. Я преподаю русский язык как иностранный с 2014 года. 
Я живу в городе Сочи. Этот город расположен на юге России. Сочи – крупнейший и единственный в России субтропический курорт. Расположен на северо-восточном побережье Чёрного моря в Краснодарском крае на расстоянии 1620 км от Москвы. Наш город Имеет современную транспортную инраструктру и является крупным экономическим и культурным центром Юга России. 
В летний курортный сезон  в городе работает около двух с половиной тысяч средств размещения (отели, санатории, гостевые дома, пансионаты). 
А зимой к услугам туристов Сочи предлагает великолепные горнолыжные курорты Красной Поляны. Снег здесь не тает примерно шесть месяцев в году.
Летом средняя температура воздуха в Сочи + 26°, морской воды +24°. Зимы в обычном ее понимании в городе-курорте практически не бывает. Средняя зимняя температура воздуха держится на уровне +8°. Мягкий климат, чистое море, свежий морской воздух, уникальный рельеф местности, богатая субтропическая растительность, а также целебные минеральные источники – все это способствует прекрасному отдыху и укреплению здоровья.
Общепринятым природным символом нашего курорта считается цветущая магнолия. 
На территории курорта расположено свыше двухсот памятников истории и археологии, включая загадочные дольмены, средневековые крепости и византийские храмы. Более 80% всей территории города расположены на особо охраняемых природных территориях Кавказского государственного природного заповедника и Сочинского национального парка.
Круглый год на курорте проводятся многочисленные международные совещания, симпозиумы, выставки, фестивали и спортивные соревнования. В Сочи живут представители более ста национальностей: белорусы, украинцы, греки, армяне, грузины, абхазы, евреи, эстонцы, татары и многие другие. 
Буду очень рада вашим комментариям и пожеланиям.
А в каком городе вы живёте? Для какой цели изучаете русский язык? 
Расскажите немного о себе и о своём городе.

North Macedonia is a small European country with no coastline. It's surrounded by places that are more popular with tourists, including Greece to the south.

But wait — don't write off North Macedonia just yet! Here are just a few good reasons to visit a country Lonely Planet calls a "little-known gem."

Many travelers start with a place that's been described as one of Europe's best-kept secrets: Lake Ohrid.

The area, which includes the lake and the old town of Ohrid, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's easy to see why.

Old monasteries look down over the clear blue waters of the lake, which is one of Europe's oldest and deepest.

The town, which is said to be home to 365 churches — one for each day of the year — is also one of Europe's oldest. You can walk along the walls of the fortress, look around the town's old streets or relax by the water.

But there's more to see in a country that was part of Yugoslavia until 1991. Travel away from the lake and you'll find green national parks that are still home to bears, wolves and lynx.

But don't worry: there are lots of places where you can enjoy nature without getting close to those animals! Some people like to walk 2,500 meters to the top of Ljuboten, which means "the peak of love."

In winter, those same mountains are great for skiing. Many visitors choose to go to Mavrovo National Park, which is not far from Ohrid.

The capital, Skopje, is in the north of the country. It's a city full of quirky statues and lots of different types of architecture.

And don't miss the beautiful painted mosque in the nearby town of Tetovo.

North Macedonia might not be a hidden gem for much longer!
