Hey Alexis!

Dlaczego boimy się mówić w obcym języku?

Język polski z przyjemnością! 

Strach

Anita: OK, so we’ve got three possibilities for the advertisement we will be using here and I want to talk about each of them with you and get your point of view. So first of all, here’s number one. What do you think, Gerry?
Gerry: Oh, that’s interesting! I like the colors. They’re very warm. I didn’t think a cartoon would work very well, but I think this is quite fun. Tina, what do you think?
Tina: Personally, I don’t think it works. We’re really aiming at customers who are 20 and older. I think it might look a little young for them.
Brett: I’d agree with Tina, I’m not very keen on it. These will be used in magazines and on trains and buses. I don’t think it will really stand out. It’s very nice to look at, but I don’t think it will really get anyone’s attention.
Gerry: OK. I see what you mean, Brett. Well, let’s have a look at the others then. Well, I think it’s great, but I may revise my opinion when I see the others.
Anita: I will say that this one is cheaper than the other two. Right, then. Here’s number two.
Brett: Oh, I like that much more. It’s really creative. That’s a beautiful photograph and the name of the product is really clear.
Tina: I’m not sure about the model they used. She’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But she looks a bit unhappy. I don’t think that gives the right message.
Gerry: I like it, but I don’t think I feel strongly about it. I’m sure we could get them to find an older model if we wanted. It just seems very serious compared to the last one and I’m not sure I like it as much.
Anita: Yes, although I should point out that if we do that, it will add to the cost of the advertising. Also, I don’t know if this will change anyone’s mind, but the cost of using a photograph for the advert will be far higher than using a cartoon. About 40% more altogether which will leave us less to use for future advertising.
Brett: Well, I think this would work really well. If we need to change the model, we can do that. But I think it’s really exciting to look

Mel talks about seasons, especially super cold winter. Can you imagine how cold it gets in Chicago? Let's listen to her what she has to say about it!
She's using grammar points from Genki 1,2. Simple and Easy, but some of the sentences would be a little challenging because she combines different grammar points in a sentence,  which Japanese people do all the time.

Learn Three Sentences a Day：Day21

ビザの期限が切れたので今、日本に一時帰国しています。ドイツではようやく暖かくなり、庭のさくらが咲き始めていました。マスクの義務も今月から無くなりました。なのでこの時期に帰ることになったのはとても残念です。
さて、日本入国についてですが、今も日本では３回ワクチンを接種している人以外は隔離が必要です。私は２回しかワクチンを接種していないので、隔離をしました。隔離３日目に自費でPCR検査を受けて陰性だったので、隔離期間は３日間でした。PCR検査を受けない場合は7日間です。
ドイツ出国前にもPCR検査を受ける必要がありました。私はフィンランドで乗り継ぎをしたので、そこでPCR検査を受ける必要があるかどうかなどを確認するために入国条件を何度も確認しました。空港のカウンターに行って検査の証明書を見せて、搭乗が認められるまでとても不安でした。また、今回は戦争のために、通常のロシア上空を飛ぶ北ルートではなく、南ルートを通ることになり飛行時間が長くなっていました。でも機内はガラガラで５人席を独り占めでき、横になって寝ることが出来ました。
今も日本入国には隔離やPCR検査が必要なので、コロナ前のように気軽に日本に旅行することができるようになるまではまだ時間がかかりそうです。
