こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道、千歳市の気温は15℃ぐらいですが、とても寒く感じます。

今日は、日本語のレッスンでおもしろい話をしていたので、紹介しますね。

日本語には、食べる時の食感の表現がいくつかあります。
その中の、カリカリとサクサクの違いについて話していました。どんな違いがあるかわかりますか？

僕のイメージでは、
カリカリは揚げ物の食感に使うことが多いですね。
少しだけ固いものを食べる時に使います。
例えば、カリカリのベーコンとか、アーモンドなどにも使いますね。

続いて、サクサクです。
これは、カリカリよりももう少し柔らかいイメージです。
例えば、天ぷらやトンカツなど、軽い食感のものの時に使います。

人によって少し違うかもしれませんが、そんな感じですね。
また他の言葉も取り上げてみようと思います。

ということで、今回も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！

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode de podcast 🎙️ où je vais te raconter une petite anecdote dans les aéroports pleine de péripéties 🤩 

Donc voilà, le podcast

Épisode 5 - Anecdote en avion

Listen to a story about a time I was scared. 
Review narrative tenses. Narrative tenses are past tenses we use to tell stories. There are four tenses we use: 
- past simple (-ed / irregular)
- past continuous (was / were + verb-ing)
- past perfect simple (had + past participle)
- past perfect continuous (had + been + verb-ing)
Listen to the story and notice the past tenses you here. Complete the quiz: Narrative tenses 1 after you finish. Remember, you can listen to the story again and write down the past tense examples you hear. 
Enjoy! 😀

Viaggiare da soli

"I want to learn English."  This is the wrong goal!

Some people say that choosing the wrong goals can lead to self-sabotage.

When it comes to learning English (as it's the wrong goal in 90% of cases for my adult achievers), it leads to: A) lack of confidence (at some point in speaking); B) continuous self-doubt (on various levels). C) Never really experiencing delight and self-satisfaction about your progress.

Can you relate to any of the things I wrote above? Almost certainly, you can; some can confirm all three aspects.

Please listen to my words of love and care in this deep 10-minute heart-to-heart podcast from me to you as a gift to learn to finally choose the right goal for you and therefore to choose the right steps to follow to achieve this goal.

To have freedom, confidence, excitement, and the progress you'll be making from listening to this podcast onwards!!!

Much love and care,
Your personal coach and a challenger
