#3 Short story あめだま storytelling //N4 Level

今日はふたつの「いがい」についてお話しします。
「この映画は意外に面白かった」
みなさんはこの「意外」の意味がわかりますか？
この「意外」は「想像していたことと違う」時に使います。つまり面白くないと思っていた映画が実は面白かったという意味です。

次の文はもう一つの「以外」を使った文です。
「私は仕事以外のことには興味がない」この文の意味はわかりますか？「私は仕事にだけ興味がある。他のことには興味がない。」ということです。
また、「私は日本語以外話せません」と言うと、「私は日本語だけ話せます。他の言語は話せません。」という意味です。

最後に、最近起こった意外だったエピソードをお話します。どちらの意味か考えて聞いてください。

私は先日ギリシャに旅行に行きました。ドイツの田舎にある小さな空港からのフライトだったので、小さな飛行機を使うのかなと思っていたら、意外に大きな飛行機だったのでびっくりしました。

このふたつの「いがい」はどちらもよく使うので正確に使えるようになるまで練習しましょう！

意外：surprisingly
以外：except for, apart from~
想像する：そうぞうする　imagine
つまり：to sum up
興味がある：きょうみがある　I’m interested in

I am an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite the spark of possibility through communication. I equip professionals with the skills of confident communication, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. I empower them to break down barriers, unlock their potential, and navigate our ever-connected world. My mission is to foster connections that create positive change, build bridges across cultures, and create a world where clear communication fuels growth, trust, and innovation.

What does that mean?
My work isn't just a job, it's a mission. As an educator, mentor, and guide, I ignite a fire in people. Through the power of communication, I show them the possibilities that lie dormant within. I don't just teach; I equip.  I equip professionals with the tools they need to be confident communicators, understand the nuances of emotions, and think strategically. It's about empowering them to break down walls, unlock their full potential, and navigate the ever-evolving world of connection. My ultimate goal? To foster connections that drive positive change.  I envision a world where clear communication builds bridges across cultures, fostering trust, growth, and innovation. It's a world where communication isn't a barrier, but a bridge to a brighter future.


I don't invest in just teaching skills, I transform careers.  Imagine confidently presenting your ideas, navigating complex situations with emotional intelligence, and strategically solving problems. That's the impact I have. My clients land promotions because they radiate confidence and can advocate for themselves. They earn more because their strategic thinking adds value. They're trusted because they build strong relationships and clear communication fosters a foundation of trust.  And let's not forget new opportunities!  My clients stand out in the job market with a powerful communication skillset that makes them the ideal candidate.  I don't just equip you with skills, I equip you for success.
