📚 Have you ever tried reading a book in its original language? 🇮🇹 At first, it can feel overwhelming… pages full of words you don’t know, sentences that seem too fast, and the fear of getting lost. 😅 But that’s exactly where the magic happens. Reading in Italian lets you: Immerse yourself in the culture 🌍 Learn expressions and idioms that don’t appear in textbooks 🗣️ Think in Italian naturally, not just translate word by word 💡 That’s why I designed a personalized Book Club, just for you! Here’s how it works: We read a contemporary Italian novel together, in 5 manageable parts Each part comes with: Guided reading sheets Key quotes to discuss and analyze Cultural insights and background Curated vocabulary, idioms, and common expressions 📖 Books currently available: Lacci – Domenico Starnone Niente di Vero – Veronica Raimo Marcovaldo – Italo Calvino Io e Te – Niccolò Ammaniti Every month a new book available to keep the journey fresh and engaging!! Reading isn’t just study, it’s an experience. You’ll discover stories, ideas, and language in a way that textbooks can’t give. 📖 Dive into Italian stories with me, one book at a time!

World Athletics Championships is held in Japan this year. I wasn't interested in track and field, but after watching it in TV, I realized it's very exciting. Also, I'm really interested in watching volleyball games. My favorite player are Yoshino Sato in woman's team, and Kento Miyaura in man's team. The World Volleyball Championships was held in the Philippines now. The women’s team finished in 4th place, but the men’s team couldn’t reach the finals. I was sad, but strong teams like France and Brazil also couldn’t reach the finals, so I hope they do their best for the next World Championship.

Today I write about the my summer vacation. I went to Cairns in Australia alone to study English for two weeks.I went to abroad for the first time so I was very nervous. But It was really fun. I made many friends. I went shopping with my friends. I bought many clothes, snacks. Even the supermarket was fun. I was surprised that there were so many kinds of snacks. The most surprising thing to me was seeing people eat products before they had even paid for them. I was able to experience a culture that doesn’t exist in Japan. Through this study abroad experience, I was able to have a valuable experience, and it also increased my motivation to study English.

Adapting to different ways of dealing with uncertainty The people you meet might respond to uncertainty differently than you. Consider seeing things from their point of view and adapting a little. Listen to this story of Nicole and Susan. Nicole likes routines and likes to plan in advance. Every Sunday she spends the afternoon and evening at her parents’ house. Every Monday she meets her best friend for lunch and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings she goes to a café and reads. Having some control over what’s going to happen makes her feel safe. Then one day Nicole meets Susan. Susan never plans things in advance, is always late, and prefers to be flexible. She likes to make decisions based on how she’s feeling that day and feels that doing the same thing is limiting. Nicole tried to make plans to meet for coffee in advance, Susan sounds uninterested, but she never gives her definite answers. Her behavior really annoys Nicole. With people who don’t mind uncertainty … Remember that you can learn a lot from the unknown and the unfamiliar. Show flexibility. For example: For me, either way is fine. Let me know what you’re comfortable with. With people who avoid uncertainty … Offer details when making decisions. Provide a context with background information. For example: The reason I do it this way is… Let me explain why (I’m doing this). Show you understand the importance of structure and plans. I understand the (structure/flexibility) is important / means a lot to you. I can see why you (spend time on planning). Follow me for more Everyday English.
