Dear Russian language students and teachers!

Here is another 1-minute audio for your better understanding of a common situation as doing grocery shopping in a supermarket. It comes in handy when you are in a Russian supermarket where staff usually don't speak English or any other foreign language.

Good luck!

Как покупать продукты в супермаркете_How to do a grocery shopping in a supermarket

Today we have two idioms that both mean the same thing. They mean to ignore someone while they're doing something wrong, or maybe just to pretend not to notice. They are to "turn a blind eye" and to "look the other way". I hope you enjoy today's short episode!

24. 日本で買ってほしい！おみやげは？What do you want to buy in Japan?/Travel Tips/Japaneseだんだんpodcast

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.

In this episode, my story of how I learnt to speak English from zero and my current challenge to learn Spanish in Costa Rica is shared. I also answer questions from students as following. 
1. did you learn English just for yourself or for my future career?
2. You have moved to other country just to learn Spanish now but how did that happen? Do you have strong passion for it and do you have plans to use Spanish for future? 

The answers to those are covered. So please enjoy ;)
