When will horoscopes tell you the truth? Are we just desperate to hear that for once, life might get better?
Maybe we should make our own luck.
A very short podcast. I'm just joking about the horoscopes - I wish you the very best!

Learn with me introduce yourself

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. Now we’re moving on to the part of the show that we call ‘Explain yourself!’. This is where our guests talk about a topic and say what they think and why. Listeners, you can tell us who was the most convincing. So we’ve got Jake with us, Jake is from New York in the United States. Then we’ve got Andrew who’s from York in the UK.

Andrew: The original York before the Americans made a worse one.

Jake: No one knows where York is, or cares.

Host: Whoa! We’ve started already. Don’t worry, Jake, Andrew’s just trying to provoke you. This could be an interesting discussion! And today’s topic is Food and Drink. Which is better: American or British?

Jake: Well, this is going to be a short discussion. It’s American food and drink. It’s definitely the most well-known food around the world. What’s the next topic?

Andrew: Just because American food is the most well-known, which it is, it doesn’t mean it’s good. I think most of it is really unhealthy. Yes, he’s definitely an American male. Do all of you just sit watching games on TV that no other countries are interested in, drinking ice cold beer-flavored water and shouting (Mimics) ‘We’re the best at everything! USA!’

Jake: Oh you’re talking to me about beer? Good luck with tempting people to come to your barbecue on a hot day with a nice glass of warm beer. Not that you have barbecues because it’s always raining. You just sit inside with your warm beer and your fish and chips feeling sad.

Andrew: (laughs) I’m not going to apologize for enjoying beer that is slightly warmer than ice. There are things that are more important than how cold it is, you know? Like, oh I don't know - taste?

Host: Beer wars! Are we going to be able to resolve this difference at all, gentlemen?

Andrew: Obviously I’m a little more favorable toward British beer, but Jake has a point about the weather. It doesn’t actually rain all the time, but it’s not usually as hot as it gets in most places in the US. 

English Conversation/Dialogue

Discussion Opinions 

“Cuando leo en español, lo oigo, esa es la pequeña diferencia con respecto a las otras lenguas que hablo”, esta conclusión salió mientras conversaba con María P. esta semana. Ella, como muchos de mis estudiantes y como yo mismo, somos políglotas y tenemos la habilidad de poder leer textos en varios idiomas y de varios tipos de registro.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
北海道は、今日、少しだけ雪が降りました！
寒かったですが、テンションが上がりました！

全然話が変わりますが、今回のトピックは、
僕のオンラインレッスンの話です。

オンラインレッスンでは、基本的に日常会話をしています。
いろんなトピックについて話します。
これは日本語学習者のみなさんも、僕にとってもとても楽しい時間です。

最近は、このレッスンの時間に、ニュースなどの記事を一緒に読みたい、という方が増えてきました。
ニュースの記事を一緒に読んで、読み方がわからないところ、意味がわからないところをフォローします。
そして、そのニュースのトピックについて話します。

これは、とても良い練習だと思います。
このレッスン方法は、生徒のみなさんから提案してもらったものです。1つのニュースの記事を丁寧に読んで、意味を理解する。これだけでとても良い練習方法になります。
ですので、実は僕もこの方法を英語の学習に取り入れました。

日本語学習者のみなさんと話すと、みなさんのモチベーションに影響され、自分も英語の学習をがんばろう！と思えます。それから、新しい学習方法を見つけることができます。
みなさんの情熱とアイデアにいつも驚きます！

最近改めて思いますが、言語学習は、少しずつでもいいので、続けることが大切だと思います。やめてしまうとどんどん忘れていってしまいますね。でも続けると、少しずつでも前に進んで行くことができます。

息抜きしたい時は、僕の短い Podcastを聞いて、肩の力をぬいて、リフレッシュしてくださいね！


ということで、今回も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！
