The Zen philosophy teaches us to approach each task with mindfulness and enthusiasm. Language learning isn’t just about mastering grammar or vocabulary; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, sounds, and rhythms of a new world. Start with curiosity and joy.

Why Passion Matters
Studies in motivation psychology reveal that intrinsic interest—the joy of learning for its own sake—leads to better retention and long-term success (Deci & Ryan, 1985). To channel this:
•	Choose a focus that excites you: Is it the music, the cuisine, or the stories of the language’s culture? Let your interests guide your learning.
•	Set a theme for the month: Dedicate January to learning words and phrases around a specific theme, like food or travel.

Episode #62 - Sunn O))) concert is special

In this podcast, I talk about how to stop someone from talking when you don't catch something that they said, and ask them to repeat.

Asking Someone to Repeat Something

The Nordic countries of Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden are regularly top scorers in world happiness rankings. These countries have placed in the top 10 of the World Happiness Report (WHR) every year since 2013 — so what's their secret?

These five countries score well in all six of the things considered in the WHR: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and corruption.

But the WHR has noted that there might be another thing these countries have more of than others — trust.

Trust is very important, says WHR editor John F. Helliwell, a former professor at the University of British Columbia. And he developed a study to test how community trust is linked to better well-being.

In Helliwell's study, he looked at how likely people thought it would be for a lost wallet to be returned to them, and he compared this to their life satisfaction score from zero to 10.

He found that those who expected their wallet to be returned had a higher life satisfaction score.

"We find people are much, much happier if they feel they're in an environment where people are going to watch their back," Helliwell told Euro News.

In a 2023 experiment by Reader's Digest, wallets were actually left for people to find in cities around the world. And where was a lost wallet most likely to be returned? In Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

The WHR has noted that a high level of trust may be among the things that explain Nordic happiness.

However, as Forbes has suggested, it may not be so much about big-smile "happiness" as quieter "contentment."

Rather than always trying for something better, people in Scandinavian countries are more often content with what they have. As a result, few of them will say they are unhappy — which helps these countries do well in world happiness rankings.

What's the Secret to Nordic Countries' Happiness?



こんにちは！Atsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語学習者に向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は大好きなコーヒーの話ではなく、お茶の話です。日本では昔からお茶が人気があります。今の若い人たちは、コーヒーが好きな人も増えているので、もしかしたら、お茶を好きな人は以前よりも減っているかもしれません。

ここでいうお茶は紅茶ではなく、緑茶や麦茶、烏龍茶のことですね。僕の英語の先生は梅昆布茶が好きだそうです。

そして、今僕が1番好きなお茶は、
ほうじ茶
です。

聞いたことありますか？
ほうじ茶（焙じ茶、ほうじちゃ）は、緑茶の一種です。
煎茶や番茶、茎茶を焙煎したものです。焙煎することを、焙じる、ほうじる、とも言いますが、たぶん、ほうじ茶にしか使わないと思います。他に聞いたことがないです。

焙煎しているので香ばしさがあります。
苦みや渋みはほとんどありません。
口当たりはあっさりです。
胃にやさしくて、ご飯を食べる時には良いそうです。

英語にすると、roasted green tea
です。僕は今オンラインコーヒーショップをしていて、自宅でコーヒーを焙煎しています。同じように、ほうじ茶も焙煎したいと考えています。

もしお茶が好き！という方がいましたら、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

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！
