Three Russian tongue twisters specifically designed to make your pronunciation clearer! 
Try repeating after me. First time I’m reading slowly, second time closer to real speech speed.

из кУзова в кУзов шла перегрУзка арбУзов. в грозУ в грязИ от грУза арбУзов развалИлся кУзов. (з,в)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!

Episode 4: Lanauges spoken in the US

If you’ve found the perfect company to work for, you don’t need to land the perfect job…yet. After all, even if you’re in a less-than-perfect position, you can apply for a more suitable job internally as soon as it opens. By then, you will have had the chance to show your quality of work, work ethic, and commitment to the company, making you an ideal candidate.

While interviewing for an internal position is a wonderful opportunity, it includes unique challenges. One of the biggest mistakes people make when interviewing internally is failing to prepare adequately. They may believe the interview is simply a formality, and they have the job in the bag. Their interviewer may be familiar with their work, so they may not arrive prepared to talk about the specifics of their contributions. And finally, they may have a friendly relationship with the interviewer and treat the interview too casually. 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to get my tips to prepare for an internal job interview and get the job you want!

How to Prepare for an Internal Job Interview

日本語での「Many Years Ago」の言い方についてお話ししました😊

#119 「Many Years Ago」は日本語でなんと言う？

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.

FUNDING MY DREAMS (THE COST OF THE SUMMIT)

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は22℃。少し暖かいです。

昨日、おとといと雨が降っていました。
今日は晴れているので、とても気持ちがいいです。

今日は家の近くにある、水族館と、この地域で有名な鮭、サーモンについて話します。

サケのふるさと 千歳水族館は、サケや北方地域のさまざまな淡水魚を観察できる水族館です。千歳川の隣にあるので、水族館からガラス越しに千歳川の水中をのぞけことができます。

この日本初の「水中観察室」は、9〜10月になると遡上(そじょう)、川の流れと反対に上ってくることですね、してきたサケでガラスの窓が埋め尽くされ、冬には産卵の瞬間を見られることもあるそうです。

私も、北海道に引っ越してきた時に行きましたが、とてもおもしろい水族館でした。大きくはないですが、見れるものがたくさんあります。そしてやはり、川の水の中をガラス越しに見ることができるのは本当にとてもおもしろいです。魚が泳いでいる本当の姿を見ることができます。

サケは産卵の時期になると、自分が生まれた川へ戻ってきます。サケが、進化のなかで海で成長するようになりました。エサの豊富な海で成長します。そして、海よりも安全な場所で産卵するために、生まれた川へ戻ってきます。

生まれた川がどうしてわかると思いますか？
これは、川で生活している時に、その川のにおいをおぼえているからだそうです。

サケは成長する時は海へ出ます。サケによっては、日本からロシア、カナダの海を通ってアラスカの方まで行き、3.4年後に戻って来るそうです。

生まれた川は「におい」で判断しているらしいことが分かっています。ですが、においだけをたよりに何千㎞も泳ぐことは当然、難しいと思います。

渡り鳥は太陽や星の位置で場所をとらえているといわれますが、サケに関しては、いまだに謎が多いそうです。


ということで、今回はサケと水族館について話しました。
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！
