げんき、第3－2課82ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘s for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんきChapter 3－2, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき３課２、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。

I recently started learning 5 languages, and it's been surprisingly insightful for my work. It's not just about the language itself; it's about the process. Diving into a new linguistic system forces you to recognize both the differences and the underlying similarities between languages – and, by extension, cultures. This cross-language learning has sharpened my ability to identify patterns and nuances in communication, which is invaluable when negotiating international deals or managing diverse teams.

More importantly, it's reminded me of the 'learning to learn' skill. We often forget how to learn effectively once we're out of formal education. I have bite-sized lessons and it has reignited my ability to absorb new information quickly and efficiently. It's a reminder that embracing continuous learning, even in seemingly unrelated areas, can significantly enhance your cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills. So, even if you don't have time for a full immersion, spending just 15 minutes a day on a language app might just give you a fresh perspective and sharpen your business acumen.

To summarize the benefits: 

Language learning improves cognitive agility.

This agility is crucial for business.

Studying languages sharpens pattern recognition.

This improves strategic analysis.

Language exposure aids global leadership.

It fosters understanding of cultural nuances.

Language learning cultivates sensitivity.

This lessens misinterpretation risks.

Deciphering language enhances thinking.

It also boosts problem-solving abilities.

Episode 124 - Learn to Learn

Doing the shopping in Moscow is hard.
 I thought it would be simple. But it’s not like that.
 What’s written there? What does this word mean?
 I don’t understand this label. Where’s the price?
 Where’s the expiry date? But I don’t get nervous.
 On the contrary, I often laugh at myself.
 For example, yesterday I wanted sugar and bought flour.
 Now I know that coffee with flour isn’t tasty.
 Living in Russia is an interesting adventure!
*********************************************
在莫斯科购物很难。
 我想这会很简单。 但不是那样的。
 那里写了什么？ 这个词是什么意思？
 我不明白这个标签。 价格在哪里？
 到期日在哪里？ 但我不紧张。
 相反，我经常嘲笑自己。
 例如，昨天我想要糖，买了面粉。
 现在我知道加面粉的咖啡不好吃了。
 生活在俄罗斯是一个有趣的冒险！
********************************************************
Faire les courses à Moscou est difficile.
 Je pensais que ce serait simple. Mais ce n'est pas comme ça.
 Qu'est-ce qui est écrit là? Que signifie ce mot?
 Je ne comprends pas cette étiquette. Où est le prix?
 Où est la date d'expiration? Mais je ne deviens pas nerveux.
 Au contraire, je ris souvent de moi-même.
 Par exemple, hier, je voulais du sucre et j'ai acheté de la farine.
 Maintenant, je sais que le café avec de la farine n'est pas savoureux.
 Vivre en Russie est une aventure intéressante!
