みなさんはウナギを食べたことがありますか？
日本では、夏の「土用の丑の日（どようのうしのひ）」にウナギを食べるのが伝統です。
ウナギはビタミンやカルシウムなどが豊富に含まれているので、夏バテ防止に効果があると言われているんですよ。
今回は、「土用の丑の日」から食品ロスについて考えます。

Have you ever tried Japanese dishes with eels?
「土用の丑の日」«Doyo no Ushi no Hi» is a summer tradition in Japan, where people eat eels.
It is said that the eel is effective to prevent summer fatigue because it is abundant in nutrition including vitamins and calcium. 
This time, we think about food loss and waste through this tradition.

问路

You don’t sound like yourself in English?
That’s not a language problem.

After 20,000+ hours of 1-to-1 work with professionals from 70 countries, I noticed one pattern almost everyone misses.

People don’t struggle because they lack English.

They struggle because they’re speaking from the wrong role.

In this short podcast, I share:
•	why learning more often makes things worse
•	why English collapses under pressure
•	and the one shift that changes how you sound without adding skills

One question to listen with:

Who are you being when you speak English — a student or a communicator?

If learning feels endless, this may explain why.
Press play. This one lands fast.
