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!

点餐经历
上周末，我和朋友去了一家中餐馆。我们到了以后，服务员给我们菜单。
我点了一个宫保鸡丁，一碗米饭和一杯茶。我的朋友点了一个炒面和一杯水。
我们等了一会儿，菜就来了。宫保鸡丁很好吃，米饭也很好。朋友说炒面很好吃。
吃完以后，我们叫服务员结账。我们用手机支付，非常方便。
这次吃饭很开心，食物很好，服务也很好。

Last weekend, my friend and I went to a Chinese restaurant. When we arrived, the waiter gave us menus. I ordered a Kung Pao Chicken, a bowl of rice and a cup of tea. My friend ordered a fried noodles and a glass of water. We waited for a while and the food came. The Kung Pao Chicken was delicious and so was the rice. Friends said the fried noodles are delicious. After we finished eating, we asked the waiter to pay. We paid by mobile phone which was very convenient. I enjoyed my meal this time, the food was good and the service was excellent.

We love to proudly wear clothes with a cool fashion label - it says something about who we are. However, we shouldn't read too much into a fashion label, in other words, imagine the brand name defines us literally, particularly if it has a ridiculous name! I did see a printing mistake on a tshirt once, that said "Foodball" instead of "FooTball"!

Before & Until: Mastering ДО & ЗА

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

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回は、アルメニア🇦🇲への小旅行についてのポッドキャストです。

実はもうジョージア🇬🇪に帰ってきましたが、
5日間、アルメニアへ行っていました。

その話を何回かのポッドキャストで話したいと思います。

今日はアルメニアへ向かう小さいバスの話。

ジョージアからアルメニアはバスで行けます。
出国、入国審査をするので、全部で6時間ぐらいかかります。

トビリシ駅の前からバスに乗りました。
9:00発のバスに乗りたかったんですけど、なかったので、11:00発のバスに乗ることになりました。

このバスは結構スピードを出します。速い。
そしてちょっと怖い。

1時間半ほど行くと、国境に着きました。
ここではジョージアから出国するため、1度バスを降りて手続きをします。

その後、1度バスに乗ります。
少し進んでまたおります。

次はアルメニアの入国審査です。
パスポートを渡し、チェックされます。

そして無事に入国しました！
バスに乗り込み、また走り出します。

その後、4時間ぐらい走りました。
車の中が排気ガスくさくてちょっと心配だったんですけど、18:00前に無事アルメニアに到着しました。

アルメニアはとても落ち着いた雰囲気で、僕たちはとても気に入りました。

1日目はこんな感じの移動日でした。

ということで、今回は以上です！

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
