So, check this out - I was cruising around the mall one day, just minding my own business, when I overheard these two scholars having a good ol' laugh at another scholar's accent. Man, that got my teacher instincts all riled up. I couldn't just let that slide, you know? So, I strolled right up to them and we got to talking. If you're curious about how it all went down, you gotta tune in to this episode.

みなさんはもう衣替えをしましたか？最近、寒くなってきたので、そろそろ衣替えをしようかなと考えている人が多いかもしれません。衣替えというのは、今着ている服を季節に合った服に入れ替えることをいいます。つまり、夏服をクローゼットにしまって、冬服を出すことです。
私は１ヶ月ほど前に衣替えをしました。半袖のTシャツやズボン、薄いジャケットをクローゼットにしまいました。そして、厚いジャケットやコート、セーターを出しました。
今年は電気代やガス代が高くなるそうなので、家の中でも暖かい服を着て、なるべくヒーターやストーブを使わずに過ごしたいと思います。
皆さんは、冬を暖かく過ごすために何かしていることはありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

Don't do this if want to be a better speaker!!!

"If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be, and why?"

This may be your idea of a nightmare interview question — and yes, employers really use it.

Your answer won't reveal anything about your ability to, say, use Microsoft Excel or drive a forklift truck. But it may tell your potential boss something about your "soft skills."

It's been said that hard skills will get you an interview, but soft skills will get you a job.

Hard skills are things you might learn at university, like how to write computer code or speak French.

Soft skills are the things you might not be able to prove with a qualification, but that will help you succeed in the workplace.

These could include being good at things like problem-solving, time management, and communicating with others or understanding how they feel — even being a good listener.

Employers say soft skills are more important than ever as the world adapts to remote and hybrid working patterns, because being able to communicate clearly and adapt to new situations is even more vital to success.

Some have called soft skills innate. But can we learn them or at least improve them?

"Yes," says jobs website Indeed.

It says the keys are to communicate regularly with the people on your team, be open to feedback, and pay attention to the way others overcome challenges including how they interact with people to do so.

Indeed also says it's important to simply get to work on time. This will help with time management, and also helps you achieve your goals and stand out from your colleagues.

Amanda Vickers, CEO of training company Speak First, told The Guardian that it's also important to try to understand what other people's needs and motives might be. This will help you adapt and work successfully with different people.

So, which ice cream flavor are you?

Well, the flavor isn't important but your answer could demonstrate soft skills such as creativity, quick thinking and even self-awareness.

Just don't choose vanilla.

こんばんは！
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。

今日は、オンラインレッスンの良いところ！について。

186のPodcastで、オンラインレッスンについて、言語習得の面での良いところについて話しました。

ネイティブの人と話せること
自分で考えた日本語で話せること
会話の中で新しい言葉に出会えること

日本語学習におけるメリットについてはこんな感じです。
人によってもっといろいろあると思います。
これが186回の話でした。


で、今回は、言語以外に得られる良いことを話します。
これも人によると思いますが、僕が思う良いことを話します。

それぞれの国の、文化や習慣、考え方など、本当のことを知ることができます。表面的な情報だったり、一般的なことは、ネットでも調べることができます。

その国で生活している人の生の声を聞ける機会はそんなにないと思います。その国のことはその国の人にしかわからないこともあると思います。

そんな話が聞けるのは、直接話ができる時だけですね。
ネットのニュースには、そういう、本当に知りたいことはなかなか見つからないです。

みなさんにとっては、日本が実際にはどんな国なのか、僕や日本語の先生から聞くことができます。個人的にはみなさんからも、それぞれの国の今の話を聞けます。これは、本当に勉強になります。

ということで、今回は以上です。
日本のことを日本語で話したい！とか、自分の国のことを日本語で説明してみたい！と思った方は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！

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！
