EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

"I want to learn English."  This is the wrong goal!

Some people say that choosing the wrong goals can lead to self-sabotage.

When it comes to learning English (as it's the wrong goal in 90% of cases for my adult achievers), it leads to: A) lack of confidence (at some point in speaking); B) continuous self-doubt (on various levels). C) Never really experiencing delight and self-satisfaction about your progress.

Can you relate to any of the things I wrote above? Almost certainly, you can; some can confirm all three aspects.

Please listen to my words of love and care in this deep 10-minute heart-to-heart podcast from me to you as a gift to learn to finally choose the right goal for you and therefore to choose the right steps to follow to achieve this goal.

To have freedom, confidence, excitement, and the progress you'll be making from listening to this podcast onwards!!!

Much love and care,
Your personal coach and a challenger

"I want to learn English" - This is the wrong goal!

In this episode, we read the short story “The tinder box” by Hans Christian Anderson.
Though this is a fairy tale, it’s probably not suitable for children under the age of 13.

和阿冬杂谈 | 外卖的问题

 
はい、こんにちは。洋平先生です。えー、今日はですね、名詞（めいし:noun) のことを話したいんですけど、その名詞なんですけど、な形容詞（なadjective)　に似ている名詞（めいし: noun） をちょっとだけ紹介したいです。で、これもよくあるまちがいですね。
『何々　”の”　何々』と言うべきなのに、『何々　”な”　何々』 と言ってしまう。ボキャブラリーですね、じゃあ、早速（さっそく）いきますね。えー1つ目は、”人気”、これは 　「な形容詞」じゃありません。これを『人気”な”』という人がほんとに多いんですが、『人気”の”』ですよ。例えば、
・人気のミュージシャン
・人気のおハリウッド俳優（はいゆう）
 
 などですよね。はい、ま、これ正直ですねえ、『人気なミュージシャン』と言っても、日本人もよくまちがえるんで、あまり問題はないんですが。あー、テストでは、「人気”な”」と書かないでほしいんですね。はい、オッケーですか。えーじゃ、次 ”一流（いちりゅう）”、うん、”一流”、これもな形容詞じゃありません。
・一流の選手 
・一流の先生
 
”の” ですよ。じゃあ、もう2つ、『ダントツ』
・ダントツの成績（せいせき）
 
ですよ。”な” じゃありません。じゃ、最後に凄腕（すごうで） 
・凄腕の刑事(けいじ）
・凄腕の医者
 
ですよ。うん、これは「凄腕”な”」じゃありません で、えーっとですねまあ、これらは「何々な」、「凄腕な」「ダントツな」と言うと、ちょっと変なんですけど、まあ、それほど問題じゃないんですね。 
 
で、ここでみなさんにもう1つ紹介したい単語がありまして、それが”病気”です で、この病気をまちがって ”な” と言ってしまうと良くないんですね。意味が変わってしまうんです。
え、『病気の人』と『病気な人』、これは意味がちがいます。え、『病気な人』というのはですね。えー、ちょっと、心に問題がある人、これが病院に行く心の病気ではないんですね。 
えー、そうではなくて、例えば
⑴　突然（とつぜん）怒り出す人
⑵　非常にわがままな人
⑶　人の不幸が好きな人
 
ちょっとおかしな人ですよねえ、そういう人をバカにした感じのスラングですね。
うん、ここ10年か、20年ぐらいでできたスラングだと思うんですけども、病気の人はまあカゼとかそういう まあ病気ですよね、本当の。はい、ちょっとこれだけをまちがえてほしくないと思って。えー、な形容詞 に似た名詞（めいし）を紹介させていただきました。じゃあ、みんな日本語の勉強がんばってね、バイバイ👋
