The Umbrella Man - Part two

みなさんは「さぼる」の意味を知っていますか？さぼるとは「怠けて、やらなければいけないことをやらない」ことです。学校をさぼる、勉強をさぼる、など日本人はよくこのフレーズを使います。「後回しにする」というフレーズもあります。「後回しにする」の意味は「やる順番を変えて遅らせる」という意味です。「大事なことは後回しにせずに先にやりなさい」と言われたことがある日本人はたくさんいると思います。

最後に、みなさんにお願いがあります。「サボってないで、早く新しいエピソードを作って」と言って、私のお尻を叩いてください。そうすれば、早く新しいエピソードが聞けようになるかもしれません。ちなみに「お尻をたたく」とは「やる気が出るようにはげましたり、何かをするように促すことです。このフレーズもよく使うので覚えましょう！

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

さぼる、後回しにする (Today’s Word)

The №1 killer of any language fluency and personal success in a job interview or IELTS speaking.

If you want to succeed in your IELTS speaking performance - having more ideas to bring to the table or if you are a job interview performer - sound more natural and stay on the point without being stuck - you want to listen to this potentially life changing podcast.

What might it be, you are wondering? What is the topic?

It's quite simple, and we are all told this by language tutors: confidence... We are told "we all need to become confident."  Is this right? Self-confidence is game changer!

Since I am a second language learner, which means I am going through the same steps as my students do, and I can understand them quite well but if I was told to become confident when learning a language - it would seem quite vague, would it be the same for you? 

Teachers tell us to be confident, but how can we be?! How do I be confident? 

What is confidence? What is it made of?

These questions are never answered because the 'confidence field' is too vague and broad, and sadly, it's overlooked as the main, foundational ingredient for someone's change!

Listen to the podcast; within it, you'll find a massive bonus that will amplify your learning and can inspire you to sel-find ideas you've never dreamed of. Give it a shot; you might like it.

better and Better..
