I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

IELTS Speaking Tips

Don't be afraid to go a little off-topic!

TRANSCRIPTION (includes explanation)
These expressions of importance cover a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might refer to something as "important," "significant," or even employ a casual "crucial" to stress its significance. When something is truly crucial, phrases like "This is absolutely crucial" and "This cannot be overstated" underscore its critical nature. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "This is a big deal" or "This is a game-changer," indicating a noteworthy event. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "This holds great significance" or "This bears immense importance," emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Politeness tempers the description in expressions such as "This is very important" or "This holds a lot of weight," demonstrating a respectful acknowledgment of its significance. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the importance, as seen in expressions like "This is kind of a big deal" or "This is a real game-changer." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate the weight of a situation with statements like "This is of considerable importance" or "This holds a certain gravitas," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, the gravity of a matter is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "This holds great import" or "This is of profound significance," underscoring the formal nature of the description. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

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

さて、今日の話は大変な話です。悲惨な話です。

みなさんは、スマートフォンなど落として画面が割れたことはありますか？

ぼくはiPhoneを使っていますが、落として画面が割れたことはありません。もちろん何回かは落としてますけど。

でも今回、とても大変なことがありました。残念なことです。大惨事だいさんじ、とも言います。

実は、ぼくの大切なiPadを落としてしまいました。そして画面のガラスが割れ、画面全体がバキバキに割れてしまいました。バキバキはたくさんヒビが入っている、というような意味です。

これははじめてのことでした。北海道の空港で日本語のレッスンをしようと思って、テーブルの端はしの方に置いたんですが、そのまま後ろに落ちてしまいました。

幸い、良かったことには、ガラス面はバッキバキだったんですが、液晶えきしょうは大丈夫でした。

ですので、実は画面がバキバキのまま、3つ、日本語のレッスンをしました。

それで、大阪に行く予定があったので、大阪の修理してもらえる店、リペアショップを探して、予約して、持っていきました。

その日はそこにiPadをあずけて帰りました。
そして、今日、修理が完了しました。受け取ってきました！
無事にガラス面がもとに戻っていました。若干、ちょっと、気になる部分はあります。でも買い替えないといけないかもしれないと思っていたので、とても満足しました。

3日ぐらいで修理が完了しました。
金額も¥13,000ぐらいだったので、予想よりも安く済みました。本当に助かりました。今までも気をつけていたんですが、これからはもっと気をつけようと思いました！

みなさんも気をつけてくださいね！

みなさんは、自分の持ち物で大変なこと、悲惨なことにあった話はありますか？ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！お待ちしてます！

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！
