안녕하세요.
저는 이번에 여행을 다녀왔어요.
4박 5일 여행을 다녀왔는데 지금은 여행 중에 쌓인 여독을 풀고 있어요. 

저는 이번 여행에서 태어나서 처음으로 오로라를 봤어요.
운 좋게 오로라를 볼 수 있어서 정말 기뻤어요.
아직도 그날 밤하늘을 잊을 수가 없어요.
태어나서 지금까지 본 밤하늘 중에 가장 비현실적인 하늘이었어요.

밤하늘에 별이 수없이 많았는데 그렇게 별이 가득한 하늘은 처음이었어요.
그리고 오로라는 정말 신비롭고 마법처럼 느껴지는 색깔과 모양이었어요. 
초록빛 오로라가 까만 밤하늘에 아주 예쁘게 춤을 추고 있었어요. 
너무 아름답다, 그리고 예쁘다는 말밖에 나오지 않았어요. 
정말 꿈 같은 순간이었습니다. 

그곳에 모인 많은 사람들이 오로라를 보고 싶다는 마음으로, 거기까지 그 추운날 갔다는 것도 정말 특별했어요. 그때 기온이 영하(-) 29도였거든요. 와.. 정말 그렇게 추운 날씨는 태어나서 처음 겪어 봤어요. 5분만 밖에 있어도 추웠는데 오로라를 보기 위해서 2시간 동안이나 밖에 있었어요. 진짜 너무 추웠어요. 어떻게 이렇게 날씨가 추울 수 있지? 놀랐습니다. 한국에서는 절대 경험할 수 없는 추위였어요.

정말 추웠지만
그날 밤하늘은 아주 오랫동안 제 기억속에 남을 것 같아요.
너무나도 아름답고, 황홀했고, 신비로웠고, 마법 같았어요. 

제가 본 수많은 별들과, 떨어지는 별똥별을 보며 빌었던 소원들, 
마법 같은 오로라를 보았던 그 기억은 저에게 소중한 추억이 될 거예요.

힘든 일이 있을 때마다 어려움을 잘 극복할 수 있게 힘을 주는 그런 반짝이는 기억이 될 거라고 믿습니다.

여러분도 특별히 기억에 남는 하늘이 있어요?
어떤 하늘을 좋아해요?

전세계 그 어디에서나 우리가 보는 하늘이 같다는 사실이 가끔 큰 위로가 될 때가 있어요.
 
여러분이 바라보는 하늘이 지친 하루를 위로해 주는 따뜻하고 포근한 하늘이기를 바랍니다.

감사합니다. 


4박 5일 4 nights 5 days, 여독 fatigue from travel, 비현실적이다 being unrealistic; being unreal 수없다 innumerable; countless, 신비롭다 mysterious, 황홀하다 magnificent; splendid, 별똥별 shooting star, 수많다 numerous; abundant, 소원을 빌다 make a wish

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの13回目です。まだ５月ですが、朝や昼の日差しが強くなってきました。手術の傷は塞がってきました。まだ運動はできません。午後にダンベルとスクワットをしてみたら、途中でお腹が痛くなってきたのでやめました。髪が伸びてきたのでそろそろ切りたいです。先週大学のクラスの申し込みを終わらせました。

Hello, this is episode 13 of season 2 of my podcast. It's only May, but the morning and afternoon sun is getting stronger. My surgical wounds have healed. I can't exercise yet. I tried to use some dumbbells and do some squats in the afternoon, but my stomach started hurting halfway through, so I had to stop. My hair is getting long and I want to get it cut soon. I finished registering for university classes last week.

今日は久しぶりに買い物に行きました。買い物といっても、オンラインで買おうと思っていた服を試着しに行っただけなので、実際に買い物をしたわけではありません。街には観光客や若い人がたくさんいて、平日なのにとても混んでいて驚きました。そういえば今日はゴールデンウィークでした。どこの店もセールやキャンペーンをしていました。買おうと思っていた服は写真のイメージと違ったので、他のにすることにしました。家に帰ってから、綿のパンツとTシャツをオンラインで買いました。

Today I went shopping for the first time in a while. I say shopping, but I just went to try on some clothes I was planning to buy online, so I didn't actually do any shopping. I was surprised to see so many tourists and young people in the city and it was very crowded even though it was a weekday. That reminds me, today was Golden Week. All the shops were having sales and promotions. The clothes I was going to buy were different from the image in the picture, so I decided to buy something else. When I got home I bought some cotton trousers and T-shirts online.

そういえば最近の授業で、日本語の「パンツ」のアクセントの違いについて話しました。日本語でパンツというと、ズボンと下着の二つの意味があります。私が今言っているのは、ズボンのほうのアクセントです。下着のアクセントは、パンツです。パンツ（上昇）とパンツ（下降）です。現代人が普段着ている服は西洋文化のものなので、日本語でもほとんどがカタカナです。それに合わせて、服の素材もカタカナで表現することが多いです。たとえば、「綿」や「麻」は、「コットン」や「リネン」と表記されていることがあります。どちらも同じ意味です。私は綿の服が好きです。

Listening is really important to hear the pronunciation of words, because spelling is often very confusing in English.

Listen to last week's podcast about the "U" sound for words written with "OU": https://www.italki.com/en/podcast/episode/cawtvs1tf05wdkmzgz9t5g

“My English is poor” - Breaking Free: Step 2! Episode 395

Everyone carries a collection of beliefs, some that empower and others that hold us back. The real issue is that we often don’t understand how these beliefs impact us, or where they come from.

Are these beliefs supporting you? Are they sheltering you from a fear? Or are they outdated limitations that need to be released for you to progress?

Today’s podcast is Step Two in helping you understand, and challenge these deeply held beliefs. In just three minutes, you will encounter a set of powerful questions that can unlock the door to a new way of learning, and save you hundreds (perhaps thousands!) on your English language journey.

With my extensive experience of over 20,000 online coaching sessions, I know that these insights can transform your learning, quickly.

Jump in, enjoy the process and join me when you are ready to take the next step.

To your success!
