Introduction to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样？不可以加动词，可以加是，还可以加形容词（adjective）,但是，没只有加动词和形容词两个，不可以加是，不能说没是。
我们今天只看不加动词和没加动词。不加动词是说现在和将来now and future，没加动词是说以前、过去，是past.
我们看两个句子：
1. 今年我没去旅游。
2.今年我不去旅游。
现在是十二月，今年已经过去了，我可能说“今年我没去旅游。”
现在是一月，今年才刚刚开始，我可能说“我没有钱，今年我不去旅游。”
再看两个句子：
3.我太太今天没来学校。
4.我太太今天不来学校。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太在办公室吗？我要给她一个东西。这时候你说“我太太今天没来学校。”她没来，所以她不在学校，也不在办公室。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太几点来学校？你说“我太太今天不来学校。”你太太今天没有课，她不来，她现在不来，十二点不来，下午也不来。
好，现在你是不是明白不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样了，我们来做一些练习试试吧。

What's the difference between "不” and “没”？

In this episode, you’ll learn how to answer one of the most common questions you’ll hear when eating out in Korea:
👉 “몇 분이세요?” – “How many people are you with?”
We’ll break down what it means, how to respond naturally (and politely), and avoid some common mistakes like saying “세 분이세요” or “삼 명이에요.”
Let’s practice together and speak Korean with confidence!

Hi! You’re listening to the 111 Tips for Learning a Language Podcast. This is episode 2. Relax and be in your comfort zone as I present to you today’s tip. Why do we learn a language? We all have our reasons. What is your main reason? Simply put what motivates you to learn this language? We all know what drives us to learn a language. Rarely though we capitalize on the main reason we are learning the language. For example I am learning French because I want to spend my summer vacations here. This is the main reason which motivates me to learn French. Once I am clear about my main reason for learning French, I will concentrate on tourist vocabulary phrases to practice informal conversation with the locals. I will learn simple sentences so that I can make friends with the French and be understood by them. Aspects of the French language like the technicalities of grammar and writing would not be important for now. Once I narrow down my learning motivation, I become fluent quicker in what I really want to accomplish in the first place. The first milestone of getting one aspect of the language done is the one which always inspires me to learn more. Think about it. What is your main reason for learning a language? Is it for the perfect holiday, work, leisure, cultural or business reasons? Concentrate on one scope and expand on that area first. Now, I will leave you to it. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.

Tip 2 - Narrow down on your motivation and capitalize on it.

Hi everyone, 

Have you ever lived in a share house before ? 

I have lived so many share houses in Canada and the U.S.  

I also experienced a lot of troubles with my roommates. 

 I hope you will enjoy today's episode.  Best, Kaichi 

皆様 

今日は、シェアハウスについて語っております。 今まで、いくつものシェアハウスに住んでました。

いろいろなトラブルを経験し、本当に色々な経験をしました。 そんなシェアハウスでのトラブル、実際私が払っていた賃料まで公開してます！ 

お時間があれば、是非聞いていってください。 

【ひとことフレーズ】 

・警察沙汰（けいさつざた） →何か問題を起こし、警察のお世話になること or 警察に迷惑をかけること。 

例）昨日の夜、パーティで騒ぎすぎて、警察沙汰になった。 　 

・大の大人が（だいのおとなが） →大人（おとな）なのにも関わらず　 

例）大の大人が、酔っぱらって、人を殴って、警察沙汰になった。 　　

大の大人が、恥ずかしい。。。。。 

※　この表現は、ネガティブな表現でよく使われます。 　

もう大人（たぶん20歳以上？？）だから、そんなことで、他の人に迷惑かけるな！という意味合いが込められています。
