Mastering Ukrainian Plurals: Feminine&Masculine nouns. Part 2

안녕하세요, 여러분! 유정쌤이에요. 오늘도 한국어 듣기 연습에 오신 걸 환영합니다. 
오늘은 겨울을 대표하는 단어, "눈"과 한자어 "설(雪)"에 대해 이야기해볼게요. 두 단어의 차이와 함께 다양한 표현도 살펴볼게요.

[눈과 설의 차이]

"눈"은 우리가 아는 하얗고 부드러운 겨울에 나타나는 기상현상을 뜻하고, "설"은 눈의 한자어 표현이에요. 그래서 뉴스나 공식적인 문장에서는 "대설주의보"나 "설경" 같은 단어를 자주 사용해요.

예를 들면:
"이렇게 예쁜 설경 속에서 널 만난 것도 인연이야."
여기서 "설경"은 눈으로 덮인 아름다운 경치를 뜻하죠.

[눈과 설을 활용한 표현들]

눈과 관련된 표현 몇 가지를 소개할게요:
첫눈: 처음 내리는 눈이에요. 여러분 모두 지난 주 첫눈 오던 날 뭘 하셨나요?
눈꽃: 나뭇가지나 창문에 맺힌 얼음 결정처럼, 눈의 아름다움을 표현한 단어예요.

한자어 "설"도 다양하게 활용돼요:
설국(雪國): 눈으로 덮인 세상을 뜻해요. 소설 설국이나 영화 설국열차의 제목에서도 보이죠.
설중매(雪中梅): "눈 속의 매화"라는 뜻으로, 추운 겨울에도 피어나는 강인함과 아름다움을 표현해요.

한국 문화에서는 특히 "첫눈"과 관련된 미신이 재밌는데요. 첫눈이 오는 날 사랑하는 사람과 함께 있으면 사랑이 이루어진다고들 합니다. 여러분도 한국에 오시면 첫눈의 로맨틱한 의미를 꼭 느껴보세요!

[발음]

"설"이라는 발음은 다양한 뜻으로 쓰여요.
예를 들어:
설(說): 이야기나 설명.
설(舌): 혀.
설(設): 설치하거나 세우는 것을 의미합니다.
문맥에 따라 뜻이 달라지니 주의하세요!


오늘은 "눈"과 "설"의 차이, 그리고 이와 관련된 표현들을 살펴봤어요. 한국어는 단어 하나에 여러 문화적 의미와 감정을 담고 있는 게 참 매력적이죠. 여러분도 다음에 눈이 내리는 풍경을 보며 "설경이 정말 아름답다"라고 말해보세요.

오늘도 들어주셔서 감사합니다! 그럼 다음 시간에 만나요. 안녕히 계세요!

눈 vs. 설(雪): Why Koreans Have Two Words for Snow

En este episodio se aborda el duelo migratorio y se ofrecen consejos para adaptarse a un nuevo país. 

Cada persona atraviesa un proceso único cuando migra, pero todas se enfrentan a la pérdida al hacerlo: de la tierra natal, de roles y estatus social, de identidad cultural, de relaciones sociales, de seguridad y de expectativas, así como un cambio de idioma. Como toda pérdida estas conllevan un duelo. 
La adaptación se ve influenciada por factores como la naturaleza de la migración, oportunidades laborales, acceso a servicios de salud y educación, actitud de la sociedad receptora, políticas migratorias y apoyo social.
Pero hay cosas que se pueden hacer a nivel individual para gestionar las emociones y conseguir una mejor adaptación. 
En el episodio se mencionan algunas, pero cuáles son las estrategias que habéis utilizado y os han funcionado a vosotros/as. 

Transcripción: 
“Echo de menos mi casa”
“Siento que aquí no me entienden”
“Cuando llegué pensaba que esto sería diferente” 
“No me siento ni de aquí ni de allí” 
Si has migrado a un nuevo país y te reconoces en alguna de estas frases déjame decirte que estás pasando por tu duelo migratorio. 
El duelo es un proceso que nos ayuda a elaborar emocionalmente las pérdidas. Y por si todavía no has conseguido encontrar el equilibrio emocional, vamos a ver qué puedes hacer para conseguirlo.
* Planifica con tiempo todo lo que puedas, esto te ayudará a tener más control sobre tu vida y te protegerá del estrés.
* Establece metas realistas 
* Busca conectar con la comunidad local o con personas que estén pasando por situaciones similares a la tuya
* Cuida tu alimentación, haz ejercicio y descansa. 
* Aprende el idioma local: comunicarse de forma efectiva nos ayuda a sentirnos conectados y seguros.
* Y, por último, reconoce tus emociones y permítete sentir. Por supuesto, si lo necesitas busca ayuda profesional. 
Sé paciente y recuerda que al enfrentar los desafíos y las pérdidas, también estás construyendo una nueva vida. 

¿Sabías que?

Duelo Migratorio

Working from home and avoiding the journey to and from the office is saving many of us at least an hour every day, according to a 2023 study.

But we're not always using that saved time for ourselves — we're actually spending a lot of that time working.

The US-based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) did a survey that looked at how workers in 27 countries used their time when working from home.

On average, the daily time saved by working from home was found to be 72 minutes.

Workers in China saved 102 minutes per day, while in Japan it was 100 minutes, and in India it was 99.

But the study also found that, on average, 40% of that saved time was spent working — either on the worker's main job or on an additional one.

Workers in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan said they used more than half of their saved time to work.

So what happened to the rest of that extra time?

According to the study, an average of 34% was used as leisure time — with people in Germany and Austria using almost half of their extra time for leisure.

And 11% — about eight minutes per day — was spent looking after children or other family members.

The NBER said children had gotten a better deal with parents working from home — but that the big winners were employers, who got extra work time from their employees.

Work from Home Study: We Save Time but Work More

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
