Episode 4. おれい

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。

和食文化について話します。
みなさんは箸を使ったことがありますか？
もしくは、今使っていますか？

日本人は、小さいころは箸の持ち方を注意されるなど、箸の作法は家族の中で教えられることが多いと思います。

今回は、箸の使い方で気をつけてほしいものをピックアップしてお話しします。


嫌い箸
移り箸ー一旦取りかけてから、他の料理を取る
迷い箸ーどれを取ろうか、料理の上で箸を動かすこと
渡し箸ーご飯の途中で箸を食器の上に置くこと
寄せ箸ー料理の入った器を箸で寄せること
刺し箸ー料理に箸を刺すこと
指し箸ー食事中に箸で人をさすこと


などがあります。
細かく分類すると、もっとたくさんあるみたいですが、今日はこれだけにしておきます。

日本の文化は独特ですが、覚えておくと、日本人とのコミュニケーションが少しスムーズになるかもしれませんね。

みなさんの国では、食べる時に気をつけることは何かありますか？よければオンラインでお話しましょう！

ということで今回も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！
