In today's podcast, I would like to share my thoughts about some common misconceptions about business.

In today's podcast we take a look at the vocabulary you need to talk about clothing and fashion. In particular, you learn what it means to 'dress up to the nines', and the difference between 'it doesn't fit me' and 'it doesn't suit me'. We also learn about some of the most common mistakes students make when they discuss this topic (never say 'I bought many clothes recently'). And finally, we take a look at some of the most common IELTS questions about clothes. So whatever your needs, listen now, and feel more confident whenever you talk about what you wear, going shopping, and looking fashionable.
Please feel free to write me a message about this topic, or tell me about what topic you'd like on my next podcast. Better still, book a lesson now, and let's start talking all about clothes and fashion.

The one about clothes and fashion

Seguimos con la gran aventura de nuestra querida gaviota... Y Juan Salvador Gaviota se encontró así en el cielo. Pero aunque el cielo era lo máximo y mientras más practicaba sus lecciones de bondad, y mientras más trabajaba para conocer la naturaleza del amor, más deseaba volver a la Tierra. Porque, a pesar de su pasado solitario, Juan Salvador había nacido para ser instructor, y su manera de demostrar el amor era compartir algo de la verdad que había
visto, con alguna gaviota que estuviese pidiendo sólo una oportunidad de ver la verdad por sí misma. Tomó, pues, la decisión de volver...

A2#01 Consommation et minimalisme

Apa kabar semua! selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! 
Sekarang di Jepang, panas banget loh! Lebih panas dari Indonesia! Hampir setiap hari saya makan es krim! 
Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Hari Sabtu lalu adalah hari spesial, karena sahabat atau teman baik saya datang ke Jepang. Kami adalah teman dari kecil, dari SD! Terakhir bertemu langsung dengannya, kira-kira 10 tahun lalu! Tapi, meskipun dia tinggal di negara lain, dan saya juga di Jepang, hampir setiap hari kami saling berkirim pesan, jadi hubungan kami selalu dekat. 
Di Bahasa Indonesia, ada ekspresi "Jauh di mata, dekat di hati", yang artinya adalah "meskipun tinggal tidak berdekatan, tapi hati selalu dekat". Di Bahasa Jepang pun ada ekspresi seperti ini ya, 天涯比隣. Kalau di Bahasa Inggris artinya "far from the eyes, but close to the heart". 
Untuk kalian yang punya situasi sama seperti saya, tinggal jauh dari keluarga, pacar atau teman dekat, tidak bisa bertemu mereka setiap hari, jangan khawatir ya! kalau kita terus berkomunikasi, kita akan selalu merasa dekat. Jaga kesehatan, dan sampai jumpa lagi di podcast selanjutnya! Daaah! ^^ 


Akhir minggu

Jauh di mata dekat di hati

Two friends, Alex and Jamie, are chatting in a park.

Alex: Hey Jamie, did you hear about the surprise party tonight?

Jamie: No, I haven’t. Are you serious?

Alex: Absolutely! And don't worry, I'm just pulling your leg about the party details.

Jamie: (Looking confused) Wait, what do you mean by "pulling your leg"? Are you actually grabbing my leg?

Alex: (Laughs) No, no! "Pulling your leg" is an idiom. It means I'm just joking or teasing you. I'm not doing anything physical at all.

Jamie: Oh, I see! I thought you meant something literal.

Alex: I can understand the confusion. English idioms can be tricky. "Pulling your leg" simply means I'm kidding.

Jamie: Honestly, I always have a hard time understanding or remembering idioms. How do you do it so easily?

Alex: Well, Mrs. Smith on italki taught me all the tips and tricks for mastering them.

Jamie: Really? How do I get her to teach me too?

Alex: It's super simple, just click her picture on italki and book a lesson.

Jamie: Wow, so simple! I've just booked my lesson. I can't wait to finally get the hang of these idioms.

Ever Pulled Anyone's Leg?

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日は関西弁のイントネーションについて。
標準語と関西弁でイントネーションや言葉がいろいろと違います。

今日はイントネーションの違いを話そうと思います。
私はネイティブの関西人なので、無意識に使っていますが、聞いている人からすると、すぐにわかるようです。

ということで、やってみましょう！

いくつかあげてみますね！
・ありがとう
　標準語　りであがる
　関西弁　とうがあがる

・田中さん
　標準語　高いまま
　関西弁　中だけあがる

・ファミマ(ファミリーマート)
　関西弁　ミであがる

・スタバ(スターバックス)
　関西弁　タであがる

どうですか？
イントネーションの違い、わかりますか？
正直、標準語はちょっと自信がないです笑
無意識に関西弁を使い続けているので。
関西弁の方はネイティブなので大丈夫だと思います！

他にも
