Philosophical Friday

Samhain or Halloween

Si viajas a Yucatán, es muy probable que escuches expresiones que no tienen sentido en el traductor, esto se debe a la mezcla de la cultura Maya, creando modismos únicos que hacen de la península yucateca un lugar tan pintoresco.
Vamos a practicar las siguientes palabras y frases: “nené” significa bebé, pero también se usa solo “Ne” como una manera amigable para hablar a alguien, “pásame ese negociante” se usa cuando queremos que nos traigan un objeto del que no recordamos el nombre, por ejemplo, en lugar de decir pásame el vaso, decimos pásame el negociante, “a platicar al parque” es una expresión que indica que no es momento ni el lugar para conversar, “lo busco, lo busco y no lo busco” es una expresión que implica que no encontraste lo que buscabas, “Xo” es una expresión que quiere decir que hagas silencio, “acechando” se usa para indicar que alguien te está observando a escondidas, “Fo” indica desagrado, como cuándo algo huele mal,  “Maa”  y “Mare” son expresiones de sorpresa o emoción, “chichí” significa abuela y por último tenemos la palabra “quita” que se usa para referirse a que alguien dejó un lugar o como orden de que te muevas de lugar.
Sigue disfrutando de este hermoso lenguaje. Feliz Navidad

Episode #20 - Do you like picnics?

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN3の漢字をやります！
収、をやります！　

音読み　しゅう
訓読み　おさーめる、おさーまる

意味は、おさめる、あつめる、とかそんな感じですね。

例えば、

・収集ーしゅうしゅう　あつめること

・収入ーしゅうにゅう　自分に入るお金や物

・回収ーかいしゅう　一度はなれたものをあつめること

・徴収ーちょうしゅう　ルールにそって、税や手数料を取ること

・収束ーしゅうそく　ある状態に落ち着く

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・彼はいろんな国の紙幣を収集するのが好きです

・収入が安定しないので、ドネーションでサポートをお願いします

・週に2回、ゴミの回収があります

・ではお伝えした通り、1人¥3,000を徴収させていただきます

・彼女とのいざこざは、ようやく収束に向かっている。



こんな感じです。

Atsushi のJapanese podcast (travel/news /文法・漢字・語彙/Osaka/Hokkaido/🇹🇷🇬🇪🇦🇲🇪🇸🇵🇹)

#358 N3 漢字　"収"、について！

When we feel we have had a "setback" in our language learning - we often tell ourselves stories that keep us stuck. In this podcast episode, I will offer some ideas for how we can prevent that from happening, and when it does, how we can start to move forward again.

In summary, what I say is that first we need to assess what has REALLY happened. And we need to look at the STORY we are telling ourselves - about what happened. (We can do this by writing or talking to a coach or a friend or to ourselves using the questions below). 

If we can question the stories we have told ourselves about this setback - it becomes easier to take action to get ourselves moving again. Byron Katie is an author who created 4 questions that are helpful in changing our beliefs. The questions are: 1. Is it true? 2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do I react when I believe that thought? 4. Who would I be without that thought? 

Turning the setback into an opportunity to take action - any action - can help us get moving again. Getting support is also very helpful. 

Writing or speaking exercise (talk into your phone!) -- take 7-10 minutes and see what you discover!:

1. Think of a time when you were trying something new (learning to play a musical instrument, starting a new routine, exercise or diet) - and you had a "perceived setback" - or when you felt you hit a wall/were blocked/"failed." What did you tell yourself at that time? Was that "story" really true? What happened after that? Did you continue doing the thing? 

2. Now think of a skill you have mastered. Maybe it's cooking something or riding a bike or being a professional or an entrepreneur. Did you ever have any "setbacks" along the way? (I am sure you did!) What steps did you take to keep going forward? Did you get support to move past these obstacles - or how did you help yourself to continue? What happened next? 

If you want - save your words and share them with me! I would love to hear what you think!  


Hear and There

3. "Setbacks," the stories we tell ourselves, and getting unstuck

We need labels for academic measurement, but do they really motivate us and are they always correct?
