안 내면 진 거, 가위바위보!
Okay, I know 가위바위보. 
Scissors, Rock, Paper. Right?
But what is 안 내면 진 거?

안 내면 If you don’t participate
진 거, you lose.

Actually, this is just for a warm-up before 가위바위보.
The meaning is not that important but we do it 
because this rhythm makes us ready.  
So try to get used to the rhythm and melody

So if you play 가위바위보, just try it!
안 내면 진 거, 가위바위보!


무슨 말인지 알겠어요? You got it?
That’s it!
다음 시간에 만나요! See you next time!

What ONLY Koreans do in playing games

New portion of Russian tongue twisters!
This time let’s specifically focus on really tricky Russian sounds that are confusing for many foreigners – [ч], [ш], [щ]. 
I'll recite each tongue twister twice: once at a slow pace and then gradually closer to a normal speed.

четЫре чЁрненьких чумАзеньких чертЁнка чертИли чЁрными чернИлами чертЁж чрезвычАйно чИсто. (ч,р)

сАша шУстро сУшит сУшки,
сУшек вЫсушил штук шесть,
и смешнО спешАт старУшки
сУшек сАшиных поЕсть. (ш,с)

хрящ хрустЯщий у щенкА, он хрустИт хрящОм покА. (щ,х)

Try to articulate them as clearly as possible, please don’t chase the speed. Good luck!

ドイツは10月3日月曜日が祝日だったので三連休でした。１ヶ月前にイタリアから帰ってきたばかりでしたが、ハンブルクに旅行することにしました。今回はカッセルという街まで車で行き、そこからICEという高速列車に乗って行きました。合計で片道3時間ほどかかりました。
ハンブルクはドイツで2番目に大きい町で、町の中心に大きな湖があります。緑が多く、ドイツらしい建物もたくさんあって、美しい町でした。
残念ながら、雨が降ったり止んだりの三日間でしたが、街を歩いたり、おいしいものを食べたりできて、楽しい旅行でした。
今回の旅行で一番楽しかったことは、ジャズバーで生のジャズを聴いたことです。最近生演奏を聴く機会がなかったので、久しぶりの生演奏はとても良かったです。


みなさんは最近どこかに行きましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

祝日：しゅくじつ　national holiday
三連休：さんれんきゅう　three day weekend
高速列車：こうそくれっしゃ
片道：かたみち　one way
合計：ごうけい　total
湖：みずうみ　lake
雨が降ったり止んだりだった：It rained on and off　
演奏：えんそう　musical performance
生演奏：なまえんそう live music

Korean Lesson in English

2. Basic H Verb Tense - Do, Did, Will Do - 해요, 했어요, 할 거에요

Life's too short to read the small print, right? The small print, sometimes called the "fine print" is the name for the terms and conditions you find on websites, contracts and other documents.

The size of the text is often a little smaller and there can be quite a lot of it. For these reasons, some of us don't read it all — even though we know it can be very important.

A company from the UK decided to test how many people really do read the small print.

The company, called Tax Policy Associates, hid a little surprise in the privacy policy on its website, offering to send a nice bottle of wine to anyone who read it.

It was the idea of company founder Dan Neidle. He wrote in the policy: "We will send a bottle of good wine to the first person to read this."

The policy was posted online in February, but the company was only contacted about the wine in May!

He told the BBC that it was a "childish protest" because "all businesses have to have a privacy policy" even though no one reads them.

Neidle added: "Every tiny coffee shop has to have a privacy policy on their website, it's crazy."

He said that the person who found the sentence about the wine had been writing their own privacy policy, and they were looking for examples.

That lucky person was sent a bottle of French red wine and the sentence offering the free wine has now been taken out of the policy!
