Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.

大家好 欢迎来到我的播客 今天聊什么
今天我们聊一聊，睡午觉！
睡午觉就是中午的时候睡觉，一般睡很短的时间，比如睡30分钟、睡15分钟
你有没有睡午觉的习惯呢？很多中国人都有睡午觉的习惯。
如果你问一个在美国公司工作的中国人：“工作当中最不适应的地方是什么？”
很多人可能会想到文化差异、语言、思维方式（想问题的方式）等等常见的话题。其实，首先让他们不习惯的是：中午不方便睡觉

不同的办公室文化，是因为每个国家都有不同历史文化传统。对讲求个人空间和隐私的美国人来说，在办公室呼呼大睡，是非常不合适的。这时候，人们一般会喝一杯咖啡。

午睡、睡午觉在美国办公室文化中很少见到，但科学家开始研究午睡对午餐后困倦(post-lunch dip)的作用。睡眠专家David Dinges指出，在办公室、工厂和别的工作环境，人们在吃午饭以后的时段比别的上班时间更容易犯错误。也有科学家说，60分钟到90分钟的午睡，可以提高你的记忆力。

睡午觉，是为了下午工作更好，更有精神；不睡午觉，是为了有时间做更多事。不同国家，有不同的办公室文化。欢迎你跟我上课讨论，你们国家的办公室文化。今天的播客就到这里，下次再见

今天聊什么

什么！在办公室睡觉！

السَّلاَم, اِسْمِي يُونِس, أَسْكُن فِي أَلْمَانْيَا. أَنَا تُرْكِي, أَتَكَلَّم التُّرْكِيَّة وَالأَلْمَانِيَّة. أَدْرُسُ الْعَرَبِيَّة.

أَهْلاً, اِسْمِي لِينَا. أَنَا سُورِيَّة, أَسْكُنُ فِي فَرَنْسَا, أَتَكَلَّم الْفَرَنْسِيَّة وَالْعَرَبِيَّة, أَدْرُس الاِسْبَانِيَّة. 

مَرْحَباً, اِسْمِي بَسْمَا أَسْكُن فِي فَرَنْسَا, أَناَ جَزَائِرِيَّة, أَتَكَلَّم الْفَرَنْسِيَّة وَالْقَبَائِلِيَّة, أَدْرُس الْعَرَبِيَّة.

Halloween is a fun and spooky holiday that people celebrate on October 31st each year. But do you know where it comes from, and why we wear scary costumes? Let's explore the history of Halloween and costumes!
Halloween started a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago. It began with an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" (pronounced sah-win). The Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Samhain was a special time when they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin. They thought that the spirits of the dead could come back to Earth on this night. Some people were afraid of these ghosts, so they dressed up in costumes to hide from them. They also lit bonfires to scare the ghosts away.
In the 8th century, the Christian church started a holiday called "All Saints' Day" on November 1st. It was a day to remember and honor all the saints. The night before, on October 31st, became known as "All Hallows' Eve," which later turned into "Halloween."
Over time, Halloween came to America with immigrants from different countries. People brought their own customs and traditions, and Halloween became a mix of all these traditions. One of these traditions was dressing up in costumes, which became a big part of Halloween.
Today, Halloween is a day for fun and creativity. People of all ages wear costumes, but the costumes are not just scary. You can be anything you want – a superhero, a princess, a witch, or even a funny animal. People also go trick-or-treating, where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for sweets.
So, when you see people in scary costumes on Halloween, remember that it all began with the Celts who wanted to protect themselves from ghosts. Now, Halloween is a time for everyone to enjoy dressing up and having a spooky good time.
