Ricordi: il mio primo giorno di scuola


“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.

租房（renting an apartment）

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

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。

最近のNHKのニュースで、10月の日本への訪日外国人が250万人を越えた、というニュースを見ました。

これはコロナが始まる前、2019年の同じ月より多いようです。

内訳は、
韓国が63万人
台湾が42万人
中国が25万人
アメリカが21万人
です。

日本を好きな人たちが日本を訪れてくれいるのはとても嬉しいです。ですが、円安も大きな影響であることを忘れてはいけないですね。そして、物価、物の値段も安いと思います。時には安すぎるかもしれないです。

食べ物や清潔さなどはとてもクオリティ、品質が高いと思います。海外と比べると、そういう素晴らしい物が時々安すぎると思います。

さらに、たとえ会社の売上が上がっても、働く人の給料は簡単には上がりません。

そして働く人の給料がなかなか上がらないことは、日本人の生活が良くならない大きな理由です。

たくさんの人が日本を訪れるのはとても良いことですし、いいチャンスです。こういうタイミングで、日本の中もいろいろ変わっていくと良いなと思います。

みなさんの国の観光客はどの国の人が多いですか？
それはなぜですか？

あなたはどこの国に行きたいですか？
それはなぜですか？

そんな話をたくさんしましょう！

もしぼくと話したい！と思った方はオンラインレッスンでお待ちしています！

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！
