Apa kabar semua? 
Tinggal beberapa hari sebelum akhir tahun 2023! Sangat cepat, bukan? 
Bagi kalian, tahun ini tahun seperti apa? Untuk saya, tahun ini adalah tahun yang penuh dengan perjalanan. Saya pergi ke banyak tempat dan dapat banyak pengalaman baru. Bagaimana dengan kalian?

Salah seorang teman saya bilang, di tahun 2023 ini dia kurang berhati-hati dan banyak menyesal. Menyesal adalah "regret" di Bahasa Inggris, dan di Bahasa Jepang adalah 後悔する。"Jadi di tahun 2024, harus sedia payung sebelum hujan!" katanya. 

Kalian mengerti artinya? siapkan payung sebelum terkena hujan. Artinya, lebih baik siapkan hal ini dan itu daripada nanti menyesal. Apa kalian juga orang yang selalu siapkan banyak hal sebelum masalah terjadi? Kalau saya, tergantung kondisi ya… kadang-kadang melakukan hal spontan dan tidak siapkan apa pun itu juga bagus, hanya ikut situasi atau kondisi yang mungkin terjadi. Yaa, hidup hanya satu kali, ayo kita menikmati dengan cara terbaik menurut kita.

Terima kasih banyak untuk para pendengar podcast saya ini, dan juga untuk murid-murid hebat saya di Italki. Kalian sudah memberi saya banyak inspirasi dan motivasi!! 
Selamat menyambut tahun baru! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! 
Happy New Year!  ^^

第一章 彼得潘闯了进来

要是你发现身体有一点不舒服，你会怎么办呢？是马上去医院看医生？还是自己在家里吃药？还是在网上找答案呢？在中国，我们有一句话，“身体有问题的话，一定不要在网上找答案，否则，你会怀疑自己得了非常严重的病。”
    去年冬天，我的鼻子常常流血，有时候打个喷嚏都会流很多血。因为那个时候的流行感冒很严重，所以我选择在网上找答案。可是，当我输入“鼻子常常流血的原因”后，出现的答案让我害怕了。因为它说我得了鼻癌，然后接下来的一个月我的身体可能还有其它不舒服的地方。我既担心，又害怕。一个星期以后，我终于决定去医院检查了。可是医生告诉我，我的鼻子流血只是因为空气干燥。房间里面只要放一个加湿器就可以了。
    从那以后，我生病都会去看医生，再也不相信网上的答案了。

我生病了

You've been working for weeks on a project and finally get it finished, but someone else takes the credit — what could be more annoying?

Nothing, according to a new workplace survey! It found that people who steal your credit are the most annoying colleagues to work with.

Jobs site Kickresume asked almost 2,900 people around the world about the things that annoy them at work, and they had a lot to talk about!

Around 85% of people said they've worked with an annoying person.

And annoying colleagues don't just make people roll their eyes — they actually affect productivity too. In fact, almost six out of 10 people said that having annoying colleagues has a big effect on their productivity.

Thirty percent of people have a problem with colleagues who complain too much, while the same number get annoyed by those who don't respect personal space — they always stand a little too close!

Colleagues who steal other people's food from the fridge are also a source of annoyance.

Another common annoyance is bosses who micromanage — watching every move you make.

So what can we do about annoying behavior at work?

Many people say they'd like to talk to the person about it, but most don't have the courage.

Instead, 32% of people said they just try to stay away from the person who is annoying them. But that's not always easy, especially if they're stealing your credit — or your lunch!

Experts suggest speaking to a manager about workplace problems.

But here's a question: how do you know if you're not one of the people annoying your colleagues yourself?

9: Wo arbeitest du? | Where do you work?

“Cuando leo en español, lo oigo, esa es la pequeña diferencia con respecto a las otras lenguas que hablo”, esta conclusión salió mientras conversaba con María P. esta semana. Ella, como muchos de mis estudiantes y como yo mismo, somos políglotas y tenemos la habilidad de poder leer textos en varios idiomas y de varios tipos de registro.
