In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.

4. How we speak with others & why we should talk to ourselves

みなさんは「手につかない」と言う表現を知っていますか？「〜が手につかない」と言う表現は気持ちが落ち着かず、集中できないという時に使います。
先週とてもショックな事件がありました。長く日本の総理大臣を務めた安倍さんが銃で撃たれて亡くなりました。私はこのニュースを聞いた時、とてもびっくりして信じられませんでした。テレビを見ていると、たくさんの人がこの事件にショックを受けていて、特に安倍さんと一緒に仕事をしていた人は「安倍さんが亡くなったことがショックで仕事が手につかない」と言っている人が多いようです。
「うれしくて仕事が手につかない」と言うこともできます。これは何かうれしいことがあって、興奮して仕事に集中できないという意味です。
他にも、試合の結果が気になって勉強が手につかない、うれしくて何も手につかないなど、この表現は日常会話でよく使います。
みなさんは、最近仕事が手につかなくなるほどうれしい出来事はありましたか？よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。

総理大臣：そうりだいじん　PM
事件：じけん　case, incident
銃：じゅう　gun
銃で撃たれる：be hit by gun
亡くなる：なくなる  pass away
落ち着く：おちつく　feel at ease, calm down
興奮している：こうふんしている　be excited
うれしくてなにも手につかない：I'm so happy that I can’t focus on anything
