"Don’t just learn English. Learn how to own the room — in English."

Because in high-stakes moments, grammar won’t save you.
Your voice, your presence, your story — that’s what wins the job, the respect, the opportunity.

In this 2-minute audio, I break the myth that grammar is your main problem.
Spoiler: under pressure, grammar disappears — and your state takes over.

If your voice shakes or sounds flat in interviews or meetings, this episode is for you.

✅ Learn why “presence” matters more than perfection
✅ Try a simple self-check exercise

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

いま、日本では、東京(とうきょう)にひっこす人が増(ふ)えています。

そんなニュースをみました。

東京にひっこす人が増えています。

東京は人気なんですね。

ひっこしをする、生活する場所をかえることです。

たとえば、

"この4月から東京へひっこしをします。
東京の大学に通います。"

"去年(きょねん)、
大阪(おおさか)から神戸(こうべ)へ、
仕事(しごと)のために、ひっこしをしました。"

と言います。

ニュースにもどります。

きょねんの一年間で、

東京から、ひっこしをした人は、
つまり出て行った人は、
約38万人でした。

東京に、ひっこしてきた人は、
つまり入ってきた人は、
約45万人でした。

たくさんの人がうごいています。

でも、ひっこしをしてきた人の方が多いですね。
日本でいちばん人口(じんこう)が多いのが東京都(とうきょうと)です。
2番目(にばんめ)はどこか知っていますか？


では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

안녕하세요! 영쌤이에요!
고급자를 위한 팟캐스트에 오신 것을 환영합니다! 
날씨, 기후, 그리고 점점 더 더워지고 있는 한국의 여름에 대해서 이야기해보려고 해요. 정말 한국이 아열대 국가가 된 걸까요? 자, 같이 들어보시죠!

<C1-C2> *마지막 한걸음! The last step!*

(고급) 한국은 이제 아열대 국가인가요?

My client Sara joined our meeting very stressed out; frustration etched on her face. Her new team floundered, lacking direction and motivation. Public speaking made her uncomfortable and really nervous. It was an area she was struggling in. I saw an opportunity. Habit stacking, I suggested, could be the key. Small, daily wins would build confidence. Each morning, Sara would journal her goals, followed by 10 minutes reading a leadership book. During her commute she would listen to leadership podcasts.

At work, the transformation began. Meetings now started with clear objectives and agendas, setting the stage for practicing engaging techniques – eye contact, vocal variety – we had discussed. Each week, a late evening mimicked future challenges as we roleplayed difficult conversations. Between meetings, personalized notes praising contributions or progress toward goals landed in team members' inboxes.

A month in, the shift was undeniable. Projects progressed  efficiently through completion, and surveys reflected a happier, more motivated team. Motivated by her success, Sara, once terrified of public speaking, volunteered for an industry conference presentation. Daily clear communication, bolstered by these additional habits, had woven a tapestry of leadership. Sara's transformation, fueled by consistent improvement, was a testament to the power of habit stacking.

Habit Stacking & Team Leadership Episode #40 

Lily:  Lucy,我每次看见我的男朋友和别的女生聊天聊得很开心，我就很吃醋。
Lucy：醋是很酸的东西呀，为什么你不开心要喝醋？
Lily:  不是，我说的吃醋是那个意思。
Lucy:  哪个意思？
Lily:  就是除了吃真的醋以外，吃醋还比喻嫉妒，多指男女关系方面。有时也称醋意、醋劲儿、醋坛子。比如说：
1：看到你对别的女生好，我就不想理你了。这一次我真的吃醋了。
2：我女朋友醋意大发，我要好好哄哄她。
3：我男朋友吃起醋来，醋劲儿挺大的。
4：我看到你们聊得那么好，我的醋坛子都被打翻了。

Lily: Lucy, I get jealous every time I see my boyfriend chatting happily with other girls.
Lucy: Vinegar is very sour, why are you unhappy to drink vinegar?
Lily: No, that's what I meant when I said jealous.
Lucy: What do you mean?
Lily: In addition to being really jealous, jealousy is also a metaphor for jealousy, mostly referring to the relationship between men and women. Sometimes it is also called醋意, 醋劲儿, and 醋坛子. For example:
1: Seeing that you are nice to other girls, I don't want to care about you anymore. This time I was really jealous. 
2: My girlfriend is jealous, I have to pamper her.
3: My boyfriend is jealous, and he is very jealous.
4: I saw that you guys were chatting so well, my vinegar jar was knocked over.【very jealous】

And here is my apartment. Hello, my new home! I waited long for Olga at the airport. But it’s fine. During that time, I studied a map of Moscow. I saw where I was going to live. This is a very nice area. My office is near. I can go on foot to work.Near my home, there’s a big park. My apartment is very cozy. I have a living room, a bedroom,  a kitchen and a bathroom. And a very nice balcony. I see the park from here. What a wonderful view!
*************
这是我的公寓。 你好，我的新家！我在机场等同事奥尔加很久了。
但没关系。在那段时间，我研究了下莫斯科地图。我看到了我要住的地方。这是一个非常好的区域。我的办公室就在附近。 我可以步行去上班。我家附近有一个大公园。公寓非常舒适。有一间客厅、一间卧室、一间厨房和一间浴室。还有一个非常漂亮的阳台。我从那儿可以看到公园。 多么美妙的景色啊！

Et voici mon appartement. Bonjour, ma nouvelle maison! J'ai attendu longtemps Olga à l'aéroport. Mais ça va. Pendant ce temps, j’étudiais une carte de Moscou. J'ai vu où j'allais vivre.
C'est une région très agréable. Mon bureau est proche. Je peux aller au travail à pied.
Près de chez moi, il y a un grand parc.
  Mon appartement est très confortable.
J'ai un salon, une chambre, une cuisine et une salle de bain.
Et un très joli balcon.
  Je vois le parc d'ici. Quelle vue magnifique !
