Basic Greetings

Wat-san appears in "Minna no Nihongo," but can everyone pronounce the name correctly?

It's Wat, not "Waat." This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don't pronounce "Wat-san" correctly, most people will understand. However, many similar words will come up later, such as "kite," "kitte," "kaite," and "katte."

If you don't properly skip the small "っ," even Japanese people can get confused often.

Please try pronouncing it once: "Wat-san." You shouldn’t hold your breath tightly in your stomach. You also shouldn’t hold the air in your mouth. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying "Waat-san" again. Use a little of your throat and stomach. It’s "Wat-san."

OK, that’s it for today.

Oh, regarding my course, the "Minna no Nihongo Course" and "Minna no Nihongo Group Lesson" are currently half price for the first time. If you're interested, please give it a try. Good luck with your studies! Bye!

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING

Great communicators take their audiences on a journey through storytelling, and Aristotle’s famous ‘Tell, Tell, Tell’ triptych is one of the most offered pieces of advice given to anyone hoping to become a good storyteller.

However, you don’t want to just follow the crowd, you want to stand-out and be remembered by your colleagues, your boss and your clients. So, I want to share with you an updated take on the 3-tells for the modern business era.

Firstly, share your conclusions with your audience. Start with the conclusion that you want the audience to remember. This lets them know what you are going to be communicating to them and provides a destination.

Secondly, show how and why you have reached your conclusion. This is the heart of your story and where you will spend most of your time. Because they already know the destination, this part of your presentation is more productive as your audience is already trying to convince themselves that your conclusions are correct.

Finally, tell them what you want them to do with your conclusion.

这些都是爱的表达

“喂，我是爸爸。闺女，你过得好吗？没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”
大部分的父母，尤其是与子女相隔千里的父母，跟子女打电话时的开场白好像总是“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”难道父母真的是因为无聊、没事可做，才拨通了电话？

“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”其实，这句话里的含义包括：“好长时间没见你了”“这周回家看看吧”“想你了”“我爱你”等等。
父母会对孩子说：“没什么事，就是给你打个电话。”
热恋中的情侣会说：“没什么事，就是想听听你的声音。”
好朋友会说：“没什么事，就是问问你周末有没有时间聚聚。”

“没什么，就是……”这句话好像没什么特别的含义，却又意义深刻。当说出这句话时，“没什么”其实意味着“有什么”。

学习重点——什么
1.这个计划没什么问题，可以发给客户了。
2.有什么不明白的地方，可以给我发邮件。
3.附近没有什么好吃的餐厅。
4.妈妈每次打电话时都会先说，没什么事，其实我知道她想我了。
5.我找你没什么特别的事，就是想请你帮我一个忙。
