Episode 7: Goldilocks and the Three Bears

In this episode we will look at the comparisons between learning a language and creating art. We look at the threshold between learning and creating in the privacy of our own mind and sharing our work with the public and how that relates to moving from static learning to active conversation.

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN3の漢字をやります！
収、をやります！　

音読み　しゅう
訓読み　おさーめる、おさーまる

意味は、おさめる、あつめる、とかそんな感じですね。

例えば、

・収集ーしゅうしゅう　あつめること

・収入ーしゅうにゅう　自分に入るお金や物

・回収ーかいしゅう　一度はなれたものをあつめること

・徴収ーちょうしゅう　ルールにそって、税や手数料を取ること

・収束ーしゅうそく　ある状態に落ち着く

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・彼はいろんな国の紙幣を収集するのが好きです

・収入が安定しないので、ドネーションでサポートをお願いします

・週に2回、ゴミの回収があります

・ではお伝えした通り、1人¥3,000を徴収させていただきます

・彼女とのいざこざは、ようやく収束に向かっている。



こんな感じです。
