＃1　い形容詞について（よくある間違い）

Here I will read the second page of Niet thuis. Listen carefully because some things are repeated in the story. 

The room is not big, 3 by 4 meters.  But Lisa has her own bathroom, with toilet.  And a balcony.  And that is special for a student in Amsterdam.  Lisa puts her backpack on a chair and takes off her coat.  So first make tea.  She walks to the large kitchen at the end of the hall.  The kitchen is for all students together.  And that's not so great.  The kitchen is always dirty and messy.  Very dirty and very messy.  Lisa takes the kettle and puts water in the device.  Then she wants to go back to her room.  But the young man and woman are standing at the kitchen door.  "Excuse me," says the woman.  Dan is not home.  Maybe he went grocery shopping.  Can we wait here for a while?'  "Of course," says Lisa.  Would you like a cup of tea?'  The woman nods.  "gladly," she says

Chapter 1 Page 2 - Niet thuis 

In questo episodio parlo brevemente della tendenza umana di chiedersi il perché delle cose, 
nello studio delle lingue non credo che questo sia di grande aiuto, sapere perché in giapponese il verbo segue il complemento oggetto invece di anticiparlo, non necessariamente migliora le nostre abilità linguistiche in giapponese, ciò che è importante invece è NOTARE e sapere che il verbo va a fine frase e non il perché questo accada.

SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
