In this episode, I have a short interview with Tevfik, from Turkey, where we talk about his English journey and OET success via italki. We only had a short time for speaking and writing practice, yet, despite that, he passed and secured a grade B, enough to send him on his American fellowship journey!

Transcript for this and all my other episodes available at my podcast site.

Hi everyone,

My name is Kaichi. 

It is my pleasure to meet you.

Thank you so much for swinging by and listening to my podcast.

This is the very first episode that I broadcasted. So let me introduce myself a little bit. 

I was born and raised in the north part of Japan where is called Akita. Akita is famous for cute girls which is called Akita Bijin and Akita dogs.

I studied in Canada and worked in New York as a real estate agent.

I just opened up my own brokerage in Akita and am supporting a lot of people from overseas to find an apartment.

I hope you enjoy this episode and come back to my channel in the near future! I will see you in the next episode.

Best,

Kaichi

Once Upon a Time

شازده کوچولو، فصل ششم

🎙️ 1. Let’s Listen – Can You Hear the Difference?

First, let’s listen to these three words:

자다 (to sleep)
차다 (to kick)
짜다 (to be salty)

Now, let’s pronounce them slowly one more time:
자–다 / 차–다 / 짜–다

Can you hear the difference?

The key difference lies in the intensity of the sound and the movement of the mouth.

🧠 2. The Pronunciation Principle – What’s Going On?

Let’s break it down:

ㅈ (j) – Voiced sound
Your lips and tongue lightly touch, and then the sound is released softly.
You don’t blow out air forcefully.
👉 Examples: jada (to sleep), juiceu (juice), jihacheol (subway)

ㅊ (ch) – Aspirated sound
The tongue blocks the airflow, and then strong air bursts out as the sound is released.
👉 Examples: chada (to kick), chima (skirt), chokollit (chocolate)

ㅉ (jj) – Tense (fortis) sound
It’s much tighter and stronger than ㅈ.
You need to slightly tense your vocal cords and use more pressure with your lips and tongue.
👉 Examples: jjada (salty), jjok (side), jjigae (stew)

📌 In short:
ㅈ – Normal
ㅊ – Strong and breathy
ㅉ – Very tense and tight

💡 3. Pronunciation Practice – Repeat After Me

Let’s try these sets of words together. Repeat after me:

자 / 차 / 짜
조 / 초 / 쪼
줄 / 출 / 쭐

The more you practice,
the more your mouth and ears will get used to the differences!

If you’d like, I can also provide an audio version of this script, or help you record practice drills. Let me know!

Interview Preparation / Best Practices

There are common job preparation practices in most jobs

Here are some of them:

Interview Preparation / Best Practices

The world's a tapestry, a woven web,
Of threads unseen, where cultures ebb and flow.
A global mind, a bridge it seeks to be,
To span the gaps where differences may grow.

From bustling streets to mountain peaks so high,
Each land a song, a tale beneath the sky.
Respectful ears, to hear the stories told,
Of customs old, in traditions bold.

No single beat sets all the hearts alight,
The rhythm shifts, with shades of dark and bright.
A global mind, it dances to the sound,
Embraces all, on common ground it's found.

Beyond the words, a silent language speaks,
In smiles and nods, the meaning truth it seeks.
A global heart, with empathy takes hold,
In shared humanity, a story to unfold.

So let us break the walls that hold us tight,
With open minds, we greet the morning light.
For in this world, so vast and ever wide,
A global mind, in unity confides.

意味は、ふたつ、双方、などがあります。

例えば、
