Dare to be happy - my podcast today is based on a rainy from a book by Jamie Baron - "Radically content".

Listen to Yourself!

In the vocabulary of 'Minna no Nihongo' Chapter 1, there are the words ”きょうし”  and ”せんせい” . Do you understand the difference? Both translate to 'teacher,' but ”きょうし” generally refers to school teachers, with a few exceptions. For example, it does not refer to those who teach at cram schools . On the other hand, ”せんせい” has a broader meaning. At this point in Lesson 1, you might not need to worry too much about it, but I will explain.

Of course, school teachers are included, but also instructors at cram schools, doctors, politicians, and sports instructors can all be called '先生.' In Lesson 17 on page 145, there is a conversation between a doctor and Matsumoto-san, and if Matsumoto-san were to refer to this doctor, they would normally call them “せんせい” not ”いしゃ” , which means ”doctor.”

This might change the subject a bit, but regarding my 'Minna no Nihongo course,' I have created a substantial amount of homework with audio. Just taking lessons alone won't significantly improve your skills. I believe this homework will be quite effective. Of course, it is not mandatory; whether to do it or not depends on the students. 
For those who want to start Japanese lessons but aren’t sure where to begin, please give it a try.

Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!

Bonjour ma vie

Et vous mes désespoirs.
Me revoici aux fossés
Où naquit ma misère !
Toi mon vieux guignon,
Je te rapporte un peu de cœur
Bonjour, bonjour à tous
Bonjour mes vieux copains ;
Je vous reviens avec ma gueule
De paladin solitaire,
Et je sais que ce soir
Monteront des chants infernaux…
Voici le coin de boue
Où dormait mon front fier,
Aux hurlements des vents,
Par les cris de Décembre ;
Voici ma vie à moi,
Rassemblée en poussière…
Bonjour, toutes mes choses,
J’ai suivi l’oiseau des tropiques
Aux randonnées sublimes
Et me voici sanglant
Avec des meurtrissures
Dans mon cœur en rictus !…
Bonjour mes horizons lourds,
Mes vieilles vaches de chimères :
Ainsi fleurit l’espoir
Et mon jardin pourri !
- Ridicule tortue,
J’ai ouvert le bec
Pour tomber sur des ronces
Bonjour mes poèmes sans raison…

Psychological Training for Language Learners (IELTS, Job Interviews, Confidence Building).

I started this recording with IELTS learners; however, it's something that ALL language learners CAN benefit from NOW.

It is something that isn't talked about by English teachers (very few teachers do), the psychological aspects of success behind IELTS speaking, job interview successes, and confident communication in English or other languages.

It is something about your head—how you think, feel, see, and hear; therefore, how you interpret reality—that is the key, the essential ingredient for a language learner's success and life overall.

Please allow me to guide you along the process of softening towards your goals (sometimes people are too strict and too intense about it).

My voice is gentle and deep, which will help you relax and feel at ease.

Enjoy the journey and have fun.

If you'll resonate with some of my ideas and you'll feel compelled to book my class, do so; no hesitation is needed; you are in safe hands with me.

Be well and feeeeel good now...

二度寝

最近になって、日本も寒さを感じる日が多くなってきました。私は特に寒さに敏感で、外に出るときはもうカイロを使っています。冬になるとコンビニや100円ショップ、スーパーなどどこでもカイロをを買うことができます。日本人は小学生の頃から使っている人が多いと思います。（さすがに今使ってる人は少ないかもしれませんが、真冬には大活躍します。）ヨーロッパやアメリカでカイロは登山グッズとして分類されているようで、身近な商品じゃないと知ったとき、とても驚きました。ヨーロッパやアメリカの都市の中には私が住んでいる町よりも寒い都市がたくさんあるのにカイロがないなんて、なんて不便なんだろうと思いました。

そして、寒くなってきたのでなかなか布団から出られません。夏は毎日6時に起きて勉強していたのに今は7時から8時過ぎに起きることが多くなりました。自分で非生産的だと分かっていても布団の誘惑に負けます。来月には暖かい国に行くつもりなので、また6時に起きて勉強する習慣を復活させたいですが、しばらくは7時以降に起きる生活が続きそうです。

更に悪いことに二度寝もしてしまうんです。二度寝は一度起きたのにもかかわらず、また寝ることです。私はよく、一度起きて勉強してからまた布団に戻って30分から1時間半くらい寝てしまうんです。頭がすっきりしてとても良いんですが、午前中に二度寝してしまうことが多いので時間を無駄にした気がします。

みなさんは二度寝しますか？寒い時期をどう乗り越えていますか？是非コメントで教えてくださいね(*´▽｀*)
