Let's learn to speak about rules at school, at work, and in life. We'll go over the verb "poder" which means to be able to and the impersonal form "poderse" which is used to speak about rules. We'll also combine it with a look at the imperfect tense to speak about the rules at school when we were younger.

Hey Alexis!

Review of Conditionals with practice!

Agora que você já está craque em utilizar o pronome Te, vamos ao Lhe! O pronome “lhe” é usado para substituir o complemento de um verbo indireto, ou seja, um verbo que exige a preposição (a, para ) como antecedente na terceira pessoa do singular, seja ela qual for: Ele, Ela ou Você. Exemplo: Paguei a José. Quem paga, paga alguma coisa A alguém: Paguei-lhe Paguei a Bruna. Paguei-lhe Exatamente igual, não importa se o final da frase, se o complemento for masculino ou feminino. O pronome lhe serve para os dois gêneros! Mais exemplos: Eu dei um conselho para você. Querendo substituir “para você”. Eu lhe dei um conselho Nós pedimos uma ajuda a ele. Substituindo “a ele”. Nós lhe pedimos uma ajuda. Eles prometeram os céus a ela. Substituiremos “a ela”. Eles lhe prometeram os céus! É possível pluralizar: Paguei aos meus amigos. Paguei-lhes Uma pausinha para explicar a Pronúncia do Lhe: O som de L e H pronunciados juntos, nós chamamos de dígrafo - quando uma palavra tem consoantes que perdem o som próprio, formando, assim, um único som.

Napoléon Bonaparte : Une Figure Historique Incontournable (B2)

こんにちは。いかがお過ごしですか。日本は暑いです。
今年は、梅雨がとても短く、6月の末から猛暑が続いている東京です。
そして、この猛暑に追い打ちをかけるように、「電力不足」が起きているんです。
最初は、えっ、なんで「電力不足」って思ってしまいました。
でもよく考えると、脱炭素化による電力不足が想像できます。
もはや二酸化炭素を大量に排出する火力発電はなかなか使えない時代ですよね。
なので、日本にある多くの火力発電所は休止しています。
では、原子力発電所はどうなったのでしょうか。
みなさんは2011年の東日本大震災を覚えていますか。あのとき起きた原発事故以来、日本にある多くの原子力発電所が稼働を停止しています。
なので、この10年日本は「原子力発電所を稼働すべきか否か」という問題を抱え続けているんです。別の言い方をすると、原子力政策を曖昧（あいまい）なまま放置しているのです。つまり、原子力発電所が再稼働できず、かといって廃止されるわけでもなく「放置」されたということです。この重要な問題を放置したことが、日本の電力不足を深刻化させた要因とも言えるかもしれません。
ただ、先日起きた深刻な電力不足は、多くの人の節電努力に加えて、太陽光発電でうまく電力を供給できたことで、大停電になるようなことからは免（のが）れられたようです。
日本人の節電努力、すごいと思いませんか。日本人は政府の「節電に協力してください」という言葉に真摯（しんし）に向き合い、きちんと協力する国民なのです。
そして、今回はこの猛暑で太陽光パネルに日光がよくあたり、たくさん発電できたことがよかったようです。
日本の夏はまだまだ長いので、節電努力はまだまだ強（し）いられそうです。
暑い夏をなんとか乗り切りたいです。みなさんも熱中症には気を付けてくださいね。

難しい言葉：
追い打ちをかける
排出する
曖昧（あいまい）な
稼働
再稼働
免（のが）れる
真摯（しんし）に向き合う
強（し）いられる
乗り切る
熱中症

難しい文法：
もはや～ない
かといって
すべきか否か
わけでもなく
とも言える


　



「のぞみ」の「日本ってどんな国」

我慢（がまん）ができる日本人

In Zen philosophy, non-duality emphasizes the dissolution of boundaries. You are not separate from the task you’re doing; you are the task. Applied to language learning, this means letting go of the struggle and resistance that often arise when we view learning as something external to conquer. Instead of thinking, “I need to learn this grammatical rule,” shift your mindset to, “The exploring of how this rule expresses ideas is entering this very moment in time.” Instead of seeing a vocabulary list as a hurdle, see it as the vocabulary becoming immersed with your very being.

Non-duality teaches us to embrace the process fully, without judgment or the pressure of results. When you sit down to study, there is no "you" trying to learn the language; there is only learning happening. This mindset helps dissolve resistance and makes the process more intuitive.
