✨ Where you’re from
✨ What you study
✨ Your family and friends
✨ Your honest feelings about Korean language and culture

This episode is perfect for learners who want to build confidence with basic self-introduction —
but in a way that feels real, not like a textbook.
Language becomes meaningful when it connects to real people and emotions.

An impromptu speech  refers to a presentation delivered with little to no prior preparation. Often called "speaking off the cuff," it requires the speaker to think on their feet and effectively communicate ideas on a given topic with minimal notice. Impromptu speeches can arise in various situations, including:

Meetings: Brainstorming sessions, project updates, or responding to questions from colleagues can all turn into impromptu speaking opportunities.

Client Interactions: A chance meeting with a potential client or answering unexpected questions during a presentation might necessitate impromptu remarks.

Networking Events: Making a strong first impression often involves conversing and sharing ideas on the spot.
While lacking the polish of a prepared speech, impromptu presentations offer several benefits:

Authenticity: Speaking without a script can project genuine enthusiasm and passion for the topic.

Adaptability: Impromptu speeches allow you to tailor your message to the audience's interests or address emerging issues.

Thinking Skills: They challenge your critical thinking and communication skills on the fly.
Here are some tips for delivering successful impromptu speeches:

Take a Breath: A brief pause allows you to collect your thoughts and formulate a response.

Start with a Strong Opening: Grab attention with a relevant anecdote, statistic, or question.

Focus on Key Points: Organize your thoughts around a central message and a few supporting points.

Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon and speak in a concise and confident manner.

End Gracefully: Summarize your main points and conclude with a call to action or impactful statement.

By honing your impromptu speaking skills, you can become a more effective communicator and build trust with colleagues, clients, and potential partners in the business world.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今回も慣用句シリーズでいきますね！

今回は腰を使った慣用句です！


① 腰があるーコシがある 
うどんなどの歯ざわりがしっかりしている、という意味です。
ーこのうどんはコシがある。
などと言います。


② 腰がひけるーこしががひける
自信がなくて、少しやりたくない気持ちを表します。
ーバンジージャンプをするのは腰がひける。
などと言います。

③ 腰が低いーこしがひくい
 ひとに対して、自分をさげること
ー彼はとても腰が低い。
などと言います。


どうですか？
腰を使った表現もたくさんありますね。
おもしろいですね。

この3つはどれも日常生活でもよく使いますね。
1つめのコシがあるは、麺類、ヌードルに対して使いますので、日本に来たときは、うどんを食べてコシの強さを確かめてみてください！

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
