大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【语言学习的方法】。
相信在收听这期播客的你，中文已经达到了中高级水平了，也一定有自己独特的学习方法和心得。在学习一门外语的时候，到了中高级水平很容易遇到瓶颈，我自己也有这样的体会。今天我们一起来听一位牛津大学硕士的分享，学了九门语言的他有什么语言学习方法呢？
大家好，这里是杨老师。那么这期视频呢，我想来和大家分享一下我自己的一些语言学习的经验。
那么第1点也是我觉得最重要的一点，就是一定要给自己的语言学习找到一个合适的动力。如果你本来学习语言就是因为对它感兴趣的话，那当然是最好。但是呢有很多情况是我们迫不得已要学习一门语言，比如说有时候呢我要出国了，所以我要学习雅思托福。这种情况下就需要有一个合适的奖励机制，比如说你可以让学习本身变成一件快乐的事情。你可以用更有趣的学习资料，当然也可以进行一些外在的激励，比如说今天我背了几个单词，那就奖励我自己一件衣服之类的。
那么第2点呢，我觉得大家可以根据不同语言的特点来进行一个学习方法的调整。比如说我之前学习泰语的时候呢，会觉得它的这个书写系统非常的复杂，所以呢，我就先着重于它的口语学习，因为它的口语呢，语法还是和中文比较像的。这样呢可以让你在学习语言遇到瓶颈的时候不那么容易放弃。因为你不管在学习哪个部分的时候呢，你的综合语言能力都是在提升的。
那么第3点呢，我觉得大家可以根据自己的需求来制定一个学习计划。像我自己呢会列一张表，这张表上我有听说读写4个部分。大家可以制定一年的计划也可以制定三个月的计划。制定计划了以后呢，也要写出比如说我每周要做的一些事情才可以达到我制定的这个标准。那么每周做的这个事情呢，最好还是可以量化的。
那么第4点呢，就是大家在练习口语或者写作的时候呢，一定不要怕犯错，特别是在学习口语的时候，很多同学会觉得哎呀我有口音、我说得不标准，或者说是我有可能说错那我就先不说了。但是呢，其实你犯的错越多，你进步才会越快。
接下来第5点呢，就是大家一定要重视口语的学习。当然你可以有个先后顺序，你说我先来学阅读和听力以后再来学口语，当然可以。但是不可以直接把口语这一块给放弃掉了，因为你在和外国人交流的时候，最先要用到的就是口语。可以比如说在网上找一个语伴，那也可以找一些外国的电影进行一些模仿，或者是你去给它配音。
那么最后一点呢，就是如果你要找一个老师和你一起学习的话呢，一定要找一个合适你的老师。如果有这样子的兴趣相同的老师呢，学习就会更加地轻松愉快。
我相信任何方法都是离不开实践和坚持，只要努力了一定会有收获。在未来的某一天你一定会特别感谢曾经努力的自己。我们下期见。

Historias, leyendas y dias

Cuento "El Lobo y los siete cabritos"

1.,,Aveam tot timpul la dispoziție. El, fiindcă era bătrân, eu fiindcă eram tânăr.”
2. ,, – Zâmbetul, domnu’ Ibrahim, e ceva pentru bogați. Eu nu-mi permit să zâmbesc. […]
– Domnul Ibrahim, când spun că zâmbetul e o chestiune pentru bogați vreau să spun că e o chestiune pentru oamenii fericiți.
– Ei, bine, aici te înșeli. Zâmbetul te face fericit.”
3.-Tekke nu-i un dans, ci o mănăstire,  Momo. […] 
— Se învârtesc în jurul lor înşişi, Momo,
vezi? În jurul propriilor lor inimi, care
sunt lăcaşul unde Dumnezeu își manifes-
tă prezenţa în om. Dansul lor este o rugăciune.
— Asta numeşti dumneata rugăciune ?
— Bineînţeles, Momo. Ei pierd astfel orice reper terestru, greutatea aceea pe care o numim echilibru, nu mai sunt altceva decât un mănunchi de făclii ce se consumă pe un rug uriaş. “

Maturizarea, amaraciunea, pierderea, moartea, iubirea, toleranta, diversitatea religioasa, familia sunt doar câteva subiecte pe care acest roman scurt le abordează. 
  Schmitt are un mod al lui de a mă face să văd viața diferit atunci când îi citesc cărțile.  Mă tulbură, dar într-un mod plăcut, captivant, hipnotizant. E atât de multă înțelepciune în cartea asta! Și acum, după ce am terminat-o, îi mulțumesc domnului Ibrahim pentru calmul și pentru iubirea pe care mi le-a strecurat și mie în inimă!

こんばんは！
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。

さて、今日は
前回に続いて、関西弁の話をしようかなと思います。

関西弁、といえばどんな言葉が有名なんやろ。

ベタ
コテコテ
せやねん

今日はとりあえずこんな言葉を紹介しますね。

ベタ
　これは、漫才とかでもよく出てきますね。
お笑いから関西弁に浸透したのかはわからないですが、ま、関西人ならだいたい知ってると思います。ペンキを壁一面に塗るようなことをベタ塗り、と言いますが、それからきてるみたいですね。ベタ塗りー一面にならす、とか、変化がない、とかおもしろみがない→ひねりがない、普通→普通でおもしろくないみたいな意味ですね。　
　
　なんやねん、君は！ベタなこと言うて。
　ベタなんやけど、めっちゃお好み焼きすきやねん。　
　

コテコテ
　これも少しベタに似てる表現ですね。
こってりからきてるみたいですね。濃厚でくどいさま。こってり。という様な意味みたいです。

　コテコテな関西弁使うて。なんやねん君は！
　自分、ほんまコテコテな関西弁使うなー。

せやねん
　標準語なら、そうなんです。ですかね。
それが関西弁だとせやねん、になります。

　せやねん。昨日めっちゃ寒かったわ。
　さっきからせやねん、せやねん言うて。なんやねん君は！


　例文が参考にならなくなって来ましたね笑

ということで、今回はかなりベタな関西弁3つを紹介しました。関西に住んでなくても、会話中に使ってみると結構おもしろいですよ！

　また関西弁シリーズ、しますね！

　関西弁の話とかしたい方は、ぜひオンラインでお話しましょう！お待ちしてますね！
　
　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！

#206 関西弁について！②

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?
