Отрывок из повести “Барышня-крестьянка” А.С. Пушкин

“Hit the Nail on the Head” *Hey everyone! Let’s dive into a useful idiom: “hit the nail on the head.” It means to say or do exactly the right thing. Imagine your friend explains perfectly to you,why you’re tired and he says
“You’ve been working too much.”
You could say, “You hit the nail on the head!” It’s great for emphasizing accuracy in ideas or actions. Can you think of a time you hit the nail on the head?

        在这个世界上，最珍贵的东西是免费的。
　　阳光是免费的。没有谁能够离开阳光活下去，然而，可曾有谁为自己享受过的阳光支付过一分钱？空气是免费的。一个人只要活着，就需要不停地呼吸。可又有谁为他呼吸过的空气付账？无论普通人还是大明星，他们一样自由地呼吸着天地间的空气。
　　亲情是免费的。每一个婴儿来到世上，都受到了父母无微不至的关爱，那是一份不求回报的疼爱。父母的这份爱，不因孩子的成年而减少，更不因父母的衰老而削弱。友情是免费的。寂寞时默默陪伴你的那个人，摔倒时向你伸出手臂的那个人，伤心时将你搂在怀里的那个人，可曾将他的付出算成现金，然后要你还钱？爱情是免费的。那份不由自主的爱，那份无法忍住的思念，那份一路相伴的深情，正是生命中最深切的安慰与最坚实的依靠。而这一切，都是免费的，更是金钱买不来的。
　　目标也是免费的。无论王子，还是流浪儿，只要愿意，就能为自己的人生确立一个目标。这个目标既可以伟大也可以平凡，既可以辉煌也可以朴素，只要你愿意，你就能拥有。
　　还有信念、希望、意志、梦想……所有这一切，，都是免费的，只要你想要，你就能得到。生活是公正的，更是慷慨的，它早已把最珍贵的一切，免费地赠送给了每一个人。

감정(Emotions)

Wat-san appears in "Minna no Nihongo," but can everyone pronounce the name correctly?

It's Wat, not "Waat." This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don't pronounce "Wat-san" correctly, most people will understand. However, many similar words will come up later, such as "kite," "kitte," "kaite," and "katte."

If you don't properly skip the small "っ," even Japanese people can get confused often.

Please try pronouncing it once: "Wat-san." You shouldn’t hold your breath tightly in your stomach. You also shouldn’t hold the air in your mouth. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying "Waat-san" again. Use a little of your throat and stomach. It’s "Wat-san."

OK, that’s it for today.

Oh, regarding my course, the "Minna no Nihongo Course" and "Minna no Nihongo Group Lesson" are currently half price for the first time. If you're interested, please give it a try. Good luck with your studies! Bye!
