What happens when your name is the same as a presidential candidate’s?
In Korea, it might get banned—at least at Starbucks.

📝 한국 스벅에 무슨 일이?
대통령 후보 이름을 컵에 적을 수 없게 된 스타벅스.
이 조치는 단순한 이벤트가 아니라,
선거철 한국 사회의 조심스러운 표현 문화를 보여주는 사례입니다.
이름, 옷 색깔, 손가락 모양까지도 오해를 피하기 위해 신경 써야 하는 현실.
표현은 자유롭지만, 때로는 침묵이 선택이 되는 한국식 중립.
잼잼팟에서 풀어드립니다.

Employers increasingly seek candidates with strong upskilling capabilities, particularly in the realm of impromptu speaking.  This refers to the ability to deliver well-structured, persuasive messages with little to no preparation.  This skillset can be a significant differentiator in interviews, meetings, and networking events.

Let's look into the upskilling process for impromptu speaking. Firstly, fostering a strong foundation in business acumen is crucial.  A comprehensive understanding of industry trends, financial literacy, and marketing principles allows you to speak with authority on relevant topics during impromptu exchanges.  Furthermore, honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills equips you to analyze situations quickly and formulate concise, impactful responses.

Secondly, active listening is essential.  Pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal cues from your audience during impromptu interactions. This enables you to tailor your message accordingly, fostering deeper connections and demonstrating genuine interest in their perspectives.

Thirdly, practice is key.  While formal presentations require meticulous planning, impromptu speaking thrives on consistent exercise.  Engage in discussions with colleagues, participate in mock interviews, or join public speaking clubs.  Record yourself delivering impromptu presentations on various business topics and analyze the recordings to identify areas for improvement.

Finally, cultivate a growth mindset.  Embrace challenges and view every unexpected speaking opportunity as a learning experience.  Focus on clear and concise communication, avoiding jargon and filler words.  Organize your thoughts using frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to deliver impactful narratives.

By upskilling in impromptu speaking, you equip yourself with a valuable asset in the professional arena.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今回は、ユトレヒトを歩きました、という話ですね。

ユトレヒトは、昔からオランダ文化の中心的な都市だったそうです。オランダ最大の大学、ユトレヒト大学があります。それから、地理的にオランダの中心的な場所にもあるため、ユトレヒト中央駅は鉄道においても重要な駅とになっています。
ディック・ブルーナ (1923-2017)　絵本作家　ミッフィーの生みの親


アムステルダムからユトレヒトまでは電車で30分ぐらいでした。この駅もとても大きい駅でした。

Station Utrecht Centraal
https://maps.app.goo.gl/sMAA3S9uBemUEMGr8?g_st=ic

日本の駅と比べると、全体的に駅の天井が高い造りになっています。なぜかは知らないですが。

駅を出て、2.3時間歩きました。
歩いて15分ぐらいのところにドム塔とドム教会がありました。

ドム塔
+31 30 236 0010
https://maps.app.goo.gl/kSrabFkERYvwbk7JA?g_st=ic

ここは、ユトレヒトのランドマーク的な塔ですね。
オランダで1番大きいみたいです。が、残念ながら工事中、ということで、その姿を見ることはできませんでした。

その隣にある、ドム教会は入ることができたので入りました。

ドム教会
+31 30 231 0403
https://maps.app.goo.gl/HtwvPQbvTmZ7oJSd8?g_st=ic

できたのは630年ごろ、というとても古い教会です。1600年代には竜巻たつまきによる被害があり、塔と教会が離れたような形で今の状態があるようです。

この地域は古い街並みが残っていて、歩いていてとても気持ちが良かったです。

駅前の方は結構新しい感じで、少し建造物があったりなど、アーティスティックな感じがしました。

天気は良かったので、とても気持ちの良い時間でした。
そして、また電車に乗って、アムステルダムに帰りました。

ということで、今回はここまでです。
次はアムステルダムの話をしますね。

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！
