In this episode, we’re going to explore the subtle but important difference between “性格 (xìnggé)” and “个性 (gèxìng)” in Chinese! Do they both mean “character”? I’ll walk you through their meanings, common usages, and how to choose the right word in different situations. Plus, learn some handy phrases along the way~

Character or Style? 中文里的“性格”和“个性”

Imagine waking up one day... and not being able to see anything but pure white.
In today's video, we dive deep into Blindness (Ensayo sobre la ceguera) by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago — a chilling story where a mysterious epidemic robs people of their sight... and reveals the darkest corners of human nature.

What happens when the rules of society collapse? What would YOU do to survive?
Stay with us as we explore this haunting and thought-provoking novel that still feels more relevant than ever.

In this episode we are going to learn 【Greeting】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

みなさん、こんにちは。

5月8日は母の日でしたね。みなさんはお母さんに何かプレゼントをしましたか。
私は、私のお母さんと旦那（だんな）さん（主人・しゅじん））のお母さんにお花をプレゼントしました。母の日のお花はカーネーションが多いですね。きれいに飾（かざ）っているお花は安（やす）くても3000円ぐらいします。でもとてもきれいです。旦那さんのお母さんは、5月8日に私たちの家に遊びに来てくれたので、そのとき渡しました。一緒にケーキも食べましたよ。
私のお母さんには、お花を送りました。喜んでくれたみたいです。
私もお母さんです。子供が二人います。上の子は高校2年生の男の子です。毎日、勉強に追（お）われて大変そうです。下の子は、小学3年生の女の子です。ピアノを一生懸命（いっしょうけんめい）頑張（がんば）っているんですよ。で、母の日、きっと何ももらえないなと思ったので、自分でお花を買いました。
でも、500円のお花です。そして、息子に自分の買って来たお花を見せて「ありがとう。きれいだね」と言いました。息子は、「わかったよ。お金払うよ」と言って、お金を出そうとしてくれました。でも、私は「いいよ、その気持ちだけで」と言ってお金は受け取りませんでした。娘もお花を見ながら、その日は、たくさんお手伝いをしてくれました。
みなさんの母の日は、どんな日でしたか。


※分からない言葉があれば教えてください。
※I am looking forward to hearing from your mother's day. (レッスンで会いましょう！！）
