今はインスタグラムやtiktokなどを見るとたくさんの語学コンテンツが出てきます。
そこでたくさんの事を勉強できるんですが、6年日本語教師をしている私の意見は、それらの40％は間違いであったり説明不足であったりします。
今私もSNSのアカウントを持って動画をアップしているんですが、たくさんの人がフォローすると言うことと良いコンテンツを作ると言うことは結構違います。人気インフルエンサーは、日本語の先生の経験のない達が多分ほとんどです。
短い動画の視聴者（しちょうしゃ）はとにかくスクロールダウンをして次の動画、次の動画を見ています。だから最初の3秒でおもしろい事を言って視聴者をひきつけなければいけません。
「〇〇って言わないで！その日本語、日本人は使いませんから！」、最初の3秒でこれ言われると、おもしろそうで見てしまいますよね。でもこのような動画、日本人が実際によく使っている日本語を「使わない！」と言って紹介しているものが多いんです。一番ひどいもので、「月曜日、火曜日、....日曜日、これは日本人は言いません！月、火、水、木、金、土、日、と言います！」と言っていた人がいました。彼女はすごいフォロワーがいて、その動画にはたくさんの”いいね”がついていました。これはウソです。日本人は月曜日、火曜日、～~曜日、と言います。
あと「教科書日本語ｖｓリアル日本語！」とかもです。これも教科書で習う、日常で実際に使われている日本語を、「本当はあまり使われていません！」という動画をたくさん見たことがあります。
これも一番ひどかったのが、教科書日本語「使う」、リアル日本語「いじる」です。「いじる」は「つかう」の意味にもなる時がありますが、英語の”use”の意味にならない時の方が多いんです。
あと、カジュアルかフォーマルか、どんな時に使うのか全然説明がないもの、その動画の先生の発音が、ゆっくり話しすぎてとても悪いもの、たくさん見てきました。
もちろん中には良いものもありますし、短い動画をみながら勉強というのも楽しいと思うんです。でもこういうものを見ている生徒さんたちは「たくさん間違った情報もある」ということを前提に見ないと後で大変な目にあうかもしれないということを頭に置いておいてください。
そして短い動画で勉強するのは”たまに”、にしてください。短い動画に慣れると考える力をなくします。
では、勉強がんばってください。

In this recording we'll be answering one Job interview question using the 'STAR' method!!!

While you won’t know the interview questions ahead of time, most behavioral interviews will focus on various work-related challenges that demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving, and situations that showcase leadership skills, conflict resolution and performance under pressure. 

Here is one example of how to answer popular a behavioral interview question using the STAR method:


Q. "Share an example of a time when you faced a difficult problem at work. How did you solve this problem?"

I hope it was useful and when applied - see it for yourself when practicing.

7.	The Position of Time（“时间”的位置）

Saudi Arabia scored a big win in its campaign to attract major sports events to the kingdom when it was formally named as the 2034 men's soccer World Cup host on December 11.

For the last year, there hasn't been too much doubt that Saudi Arabia would be confirmed as host, as the only other contender — Australia — had withdrawn from the contest to host the World Cup.

Awarding the tournament to Saudi Arabia has been seen as controversial by some soccer observers.

That's mostly because of the country's human rights record. Some have said that Saudi Arabia is using sports to divert attention from social or environmental problems, something that's known as sportswashing.

Saudi Arabia has denied this is the case.

The World Cup may be a number of years away but there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about the tournament, from where games will be played to how workers' rights will be protected.

Saudi Arabia aims to host all 104 games, though there has been speculation that some games could be played in neighboring or nearby countries.

Currently, 15 stadiums have been proposed, although eight are still on paper. They include a 92,000-seat venue planned in Riyadh and another near the capital that's set to be on top of a 200-meter cliff.

The timing may also be an issue. The tournament may have to be moved from the traditional period of June and July to the cooler months of November and December.

This also happened for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, although it wasn't a move that was popular among European soccer clubs, who had their domestic seasons interrupted.

The question of workers' rights was also discussed before and during the competition in Qatar. Saudi Arabia has promised to reform and enforce labor laws, and fully respect migrant workers, but some human rights groups are skeptical.

In the meantime, there are still World Cups in 2026 and 2030 to think about!
