みんなのにほんご　Chapter One

저는 지난 주말에 가족과 함께 바다에 갔습니다. 아침에 일찍 일어났습니다. 엄마, 아빠, 동생과 같이 차를 탔습니다. 차 안에서 음악을 듣고 이야기도 했습니다. 길이 조금 막혔지만, 저는 즐거웠습니다.

바다에 도착하니 하늘이 파랗고 바람이 시원했습니다. 저는 신발을 벗고 물에 들어갔습니다. 물이 차가웠습니다. 하지만 시원하고 기분이 좋았습니다. 동생도 물에서 놀았습니다. 동생은 크게 웃었습니다. 저도 웃었습니다. 우리는 같이 모래성을 만들었습니다. 모래성이 무너졌지만, 우리는 괜찮았습니다. 다시 만들고 또 웃었습니다.

점심시간이 되었습니다. 우리는 근처 식당에 갔습니다. 저는 라면을 먹었습니다. 엄마와 아빠는 회를 먹었습니다. 동생은 김밥을 먹었습니다. 음식이 모두 맛있었습니다. 저는 많이 먹어서 배가 불렀습니다.

점심을 먹고 우리는 바닷가 근처 카페에 갔습니다. 아빠는 커피를 마셨습니다. 엄마는 차를 마셨습니다. 저는 주스를 마셨습니다. 동생은 아이스크림을 먹었습니다. 우리는 다 같이 이야기를 했습니다. 사진도 찍었습니다.

시간이 빨리 지나갔습니다. 해가 지기 전에 집으로 돌아왔습니다. 차 안에서 저는 조금 피곤했습니다. 하지만 마음이 행복했습니다. 이번 여행은 재미있고 즐거웠습니다. 저는 다음에 또 가족과 바다에 가고 싶습니다.

Introducción

🗣️ Tired of feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed in your language journey?

What if the secret to fluency isn’t another textbook or app—but you?

In Episode 97 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we explore how humanistic psychology can help you learn with more joy, less stress, and deeper self-awareness. This isn’t about hacking your brain—it’s about healing your relationship with learning.

We will explore how humanistic psychology transforms language learning from a stressful task into a journey of personal growth and inner peace. Instead of focusing on flaws or pressure, it teaches you to trust your innate desire to learn, create a kind and safe emotional environment for yourself, and embrace self-compassion as the key to resilient, joyful, and effective learning. Perfect for learners who believe languages aren’t just about words—but about becoming more fully yourself.

You’ll discover:

Why your desire to learn a language is a natural force for growth—and how to trust it.

How to quiet your inner critic and make space for curiosity and courage.

The science behind self-compassion and why being kind to yourself isn’t “soft”—it’s strategic.

Practical ways to build a learning practice that respects your emotions, time, and unique rhythm.

This episode is for those who believe learning a language isn’t just about words—it’s about becoming more fully yourself.

Ready to learn with your whole heart?

Egg prices are rising in America. The average cost of a dozen eggs hit a record $4.95 in January — up 53% from a year earlier. The price was below $2 in early 2022.

While the coronavirus pandemic and inflation have affected prices, experts say the real problem has been bird flu. An outbreak that began in early 2022 has become the largest in US history, affecting more than 100 million egg-laying hens.

To cope with rising egg prices, some Americans have been going straight to the source — and renting hens.

Rent The Chicken in New Hampshire is letting people rent egg-laying hens for six months at a time. For $595, you get two egg-laying hens and a guide on how to take care of them, as well as chicken feed and a coop to keep the birds in.

The birds actually aren't very difficult to take care of, explains Brian Templeton, owner of Rent The Chicken. "You just let them out and walk around and they go in at night on their own," he told CBS News.

"People really enjoy it," he added.

Rent The Chicken says two hens should produce eight to 14 eggs per week.

That comes to about $25 for every dozen eggs — so it's not really a savings.

You can also get four hens for $735, which would reduce your cost to about $15 per dozen eggs.

However, if you'd like to keep your chickens and coop at the end of your rental period, you can — for an extra $350 to $450.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hens will usually live for six to eight years, and produce eggs for three to four of those years.

So that might bring your price down over time.
