Cốc cốc cốc
Ai gọi đó ?
Tôi là thỏ !
Nếu là thỏ
Cho xem tai

Cốc cốc cốc
Ai gọi đó ?
Tôi là nai !
Nếu là nai
Cho xem gạc

Cốc cốc cốc
Ai gọi đó ?
Tôi là gió !
Nếu là gió
Xin mời vào
Kiễng chân cao
Vào cửa giữa
Cùng soạn sửa
Đón trăng lên
Quạt mát thêm
Hơi biển cả
Reo hoa lá
Đẩy thuyền buồm
Đi khắp miền
Làm việc tốt ! 

Thank you

Esta semana me ha comentado una estudiante de EE.UU que hace unos meses, en el quirófano, tras despertarse de la anestesia, empezó a hablar en español y las enfermeras sorprendidas le preguntaban porqué hablaba en otro idioma. Realmente su nivel de español es bueno y su interés por aprender y mejorar es ilimitado.

はい、こんにちは　今回はポッドキャストのシーズン3の6回目です。大阪は最近暑いです。夏は気分が明るくなるのでいいですね。先月は二人の生徒さんが旅行で大阪に来たので、一緒に夕食を食べに行きました。とても楽しかったです。

Hello. This is episode 6 of season 3 of my podcast. It's getting quite warm in Osaka. Summer is good because it brightens up my mood. Last month two different students of mine came to Osaka on holiday, so I went out to dinner with each of them. We had a lot of fun.

私は最近よくカフェに行きます。私はいままであまりカフェに行きませんでした。時間やお金の無駄だと思っていたからです。しかし家でずっと仕事をしていると、気分転換が難しい時があります。仕事がある日は、気分転換をしたくても、遠くに出かけられません。そんなときにカフェはちょうどいいです。30分カフェにいるだけで、遠くに出かけた気持ちになれるからです。

I often go to cafes these days. I didn’t use to go to cafes very often because I thought it was a waste of time and money. However, when I am working at home all the time, it is sometimes difficult to take a break. On days when I have to work, even if I want to take a break, I can't go that far. A café is just right for such a situation, because even just 30 minutes in a café makes me feel like I have gone far away from home.

私の家の近くにはたくさんカフェがあります。ほとんどのカフェは、自家焙煎をしています。自家とは、他のサービスを使わずに自分たちだけですることです。焙煎とは、コーヒー豆をローストすることです。なので、コーヒーの味がカフェによって違います。大阪は日本で一番カフェが多い県だそうです。東京よりも多いです。大阪では第二次世界大戦より前からコーヒーが人気で、昔からカフェがたくさんあったそうです。

There are many cafes near my house. Most of these cafes do jikabaisen. Jika (home/own-) means that they do it by themselves without using other services. Baisen (roasting) means roasting coffee beans. Therefore, the taste of the coffee differs from cafe to cafe. It is said that Osaka is the Japanese prefecture with the most cafes. It has even more than Tokyo. Coffee was popular in Osaka before World War II, and there have been many cafes there for a long time.

家でおいしいコーヒーを作るのは大変なので、カフェは便利ですね。はい、じゃあ今日はこんな感じで終わりたいと思います。また次回お会いしましょう。どうもありがとうございました。

Making good coffee at home is a real pain, so cafes are convenient. Well, I think that’s it for today. See you next time and thanks for listening!

In this episode, you will hear the prosess of Daxin and his mother's trip from Beijing to Hainan. Enjoy it!

到家了
大新自己开车，从北京，带妈妈去海南。北京到海南非常远，有2600多公里。有的人会问，为什么不坐飞机呢？坐飞机更快，更容易，更轻松。可是，大新觉得开车更安全。因为那个时候还有新冠疫情。坐飞机的话，妈妈可能生病。大新和妈妈从北京出发，第一天和第二天，每天都要走800到900公里，妈妈很累，后来，他们就走得慢一点儿。每次看见服务区，他们就到服务区休息，带妈妈做一些简单的运动，跟妈妈说话。他们一般在车上吃饭。第三天的晚上，因为下雨了，他们在梧州的一个酒店住了一个晚上。第四天，他们到了徐闻港。因为海南是一个岛，所有从中国大陆到海南的人和车都必须从徐闻港坐渡船到海南。等船的人很多，他们等了两个小时才上船。九十分钟以后，他们到了海口。大新和妈妈是最后下船的，因为妈妈的腿脚不方便。他们在海口又休息了一下才在开车回家，他们的家在三亚的亚龙湾，还要开几个小时的车才能到。终于，在第四天下午五点半左右，大新和妈妈到了海南的家。大新觉得妈妈特别棒，这么远的路，妈妈一直有好心情。终于到家了，大新和妈妈都可以好好休息休息了。

“Burning the Midnight Oil”
Hi there! Have you ever heard the phrase “burning the midnight oil”?
It means working late into the night, often to meet a deadline. 
For instance, “I had to burn the midnight oil to finish my project on time.”
While it shows dedication, remember to balance hard work with rest.

“Burning the Midnight Oil”

Today's piece of vocabulary is to "get by". If you can get by with what you have, you can manage to live or do things in a satisfactory way. Not to have great success or do things particularly well, but simply to reach a level that you consider to be OK.
