What I’m saying in this episode👇
みんな元気？
俺今寝る前でさぁ、ベッドに入りながら急に思いついてこれ撮ってんだけど、みんなは寝れない時何する？
最近スウェーデンから日本に帰って来てストレスとかあってさぁ、少し寝れない時とかもあるから、そう言う時はなるべく本を読むようにしてるんだよね。俺どんなに面白いと思ってる本でも、寝る前に読むと信じられないくらい眠くなるからさ笑
スマホいじってると全然眠くならないんだけどね😭
だからなるべく最近は、スマホはいじらないで、なるべく、なるべくだけど、どうしてもいじりたい時はちょっといじってから、本を読むようにしてる。
みんなは寝れない時どうするよ？
俺と同じように本読む人でもでも、もしくは違う方法がありますよーって人でもどうやって寝るようにしてるか教えてよ。
レッスンでお待ちしております。
じゃあまた、次のエピソードで！
おやすみなさい〜

"After 5" by Japanese Teacher

“Who is your favorite rapper?/ 普通の日本人Aが好きなラッパー”

The other day, when I had class with my foreign student, we talked about the image of that city in your mind if we looked at a city as a person. We had a fascinating conversation. And I sincerely want to invite you to join our discussion. 

Where do you live? What kind of people do you think that city feels like? Do you want to share with us? Please leave your message in the comments /under this article, to let more people see your opinion.

In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

-------

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.
