I made a song about Japanese burgers with AI.
It has both Japanese and English lyric so it helps you to learn Japanese!

日本でもハンバーガーはとても人気です。が、日本のハンバーガーはどうやら他の国とはいろいろなことが違うようです。

【intro】
パンに何を はさむのか？
(What do you put inside your bun?)
その答えは　国によってちがう！
(The answer depends on where you're from!)

【verse1】
アメリカでは　バーガーといえば
牛のパティが王様さ
チキンはサンド　フィッシュもサンド
ルールがちゃんとあるんだよ
でも日本じゃ　そうじゃない
チキンも魚も　なんでもアリ！
コロッケバーガー？　エビカツバーガー？
全部まとめて　バーガーでしょ！
【chorus】
バーガーの国境　こえてみよう
(Cross the burger border, take a bite!)
言葉の壁も　味でこわせ！
(Smash the language wall with flavor and delight!)
「これはバーガー？」って聞かれたら
("Is this a burger?" someone might say...)
「うん、日本ではね」って笑えばいいさ！
"Yep—in Japan, that’s the way!"

【verse2】
We’ve even got burgers made of rice!
Round buns of grain? Still tastes nice!
Americans give that puzzled stare...
"Isn’t that just a rice ball... with flair?"
Japan’s all about ideas and fun!
Deliciousness over definition!
"What’s a burger?" they ask me again...
"It’s freedom in a bun, my friend!"

【chorus】
バーガーの定義（ていぎ） ちがっても
(Even if our definitions don’t align,)
愛があれば　それでいい
(If there’s love in it, that’s just fine!)
文化のフレーバー　はさんでさ
(Let’s layer in culture, spice, and style!)
世界に届け！　おいしい笑顔！
Spread tasty smiles across the miles!

【bridge】
ハンバーガー vs チキンサンド
(Hamburger or chicken sandwich, right?)
呼び方ちがっても中身はバディ
(They’ve got different names but share the bite)
どこで食べても楽しめる
(Anywhere you eat, the joy’s the same)
食文化のシンフォニー！
A food culture symphony—what a name!

【final chorus】
バーガーの国境　なくしていこう
(Let’s break down the burger borders today)
みんなちがって　みんないい！
(Different’s good—that’s what we say!)
パンにはさもう 友情の味
(So let’s sandwich in the taste of peace,)
バーガーでつながる 世界の輪！
With burgers, let global friendships increase!

Ever had that moment when you're talking to someone in Chinese and you’re like... “Wait, did I get that right?” If you’re thinking, “I’m not sure we’re on the same page.”

Portuguese Drops 

A lebre e a tartaruga 

In many parts of the world, summer has kicked in, and people are really feeling the heat.

But people in one city in the Middle East may have more reason to complain about the heat than anywhere else in the world.

This place is so hot that birds fall from the sky, some streets are air-conditioned, and, allegedly, fish boil in the sea.

This is Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, often called the hottest city in the world.

Temperatures often get as hot as 50 degrees Celsius in the summer — and sometimes even higher. In July 2016, the temperature reached 54 degrees Celsius in the north, which is the highest temperature Kuwait has experienced.

People are rarely seen walking outside in the summer, and many residents leave the city while it's this hot.

Kuwait has always been hot, but climate change has made the summers hotter and longer.

According to the Emirates Policy Center, between 1962 and 1999 there were 18 days when the temperature in Kuwait was 50 degrees Celsius or higher. Between 2000 and 2021, the number of days was 80 — and 64 of those were between 2010 and 2021.

The country is also getting less rain than before. As a result, it's experiencing more frequent and intense dust storms.

Living in these high temperatures is not good for humans. A study by the University of Roehampton in London found that the human body has an upper temperature limit of between 40 degrees and 50 degrees before it starts to malfunction.

At higher temperatures, a person may start to experience "heat stress," which can cause things like confusion, nausea, dizziness and fainting — and can be fatal.

Some may say that Kuwait is contributing to its own problems, since it's one of the world's largest emitters per capita of carbon dioxide, and uses only fossil fuels for energy.

But things may be changing. According to the International Energy Agency, the country plans to generate at least 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
