155-El pasodoble

Across the world, millions of people are watching other people play video games on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.

Twitch in particular has become the world's biggest video game streaming platform, with over 240 million people using the site each month, and over 7 million people actively streaming.

Imagine that — a whole business, worth billions of dollars, based on people wanting to watch other people play video games.

But why do people want to do this — instead of just playing the games themselves?

One possible reason is the personality of the players. People enjoy watching how these gamers react and make jokes as they play the games. One study in 2021 found that people like to watch gamers simply because they find their personalities attractive.

They may also be attracted by a player's skill. Some simply find it enjoyable to watch a professional gamer play a difficult video game, while others may hope to learn and improve their own skills by watching.

Another study in 2016 looked at people who watch gamers on Twitch in particular. It found that people watch these gamers not only to learn from them, but also to see what a game is like before they decide whether or not to buy it.

The same study found that people also watched games online because they could interact with other people who liked games, and it gave them a sense of community.

This kind of online community would become especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Twitch's audience grew by about 80%.

However, according to the 2016 study, the biggest reason people like to watch video gamers is simply because they want to relax and forget about their daily life.

Just as there are many different kinds of video games, there are also many different kinds of gamers. And it seems people's reasons for watching these gamers are just as varied.

怎么学好一门语言？How do we master a language?

In questo episodio vedremo la storia dell'università di Bologna che è considerata l'università più antica dell'Europa. Ancora oggi Bologna è una città piena di vita e di studenti dove l'università ha un ruolo molto importante.

Testo: 

L’università di Bologna è la più antica università del mondo. Ha quasi 1000 anni. Nasce infatti nel 1088.  Dopo l'università di Bologna, nel 1096 nasce l'università di Oxford nel Regno Unito e nel 1170 l'università di Parigi in Francia. Da quel momento in poi l’università ha un grande sviluppo soprattutto in Italia e Bologna diventa un modello per tutte. A Bologna all'inizio sono gli studenti a scegliere e a pagare i maestri più prestigiosi1, che a volte vengono anche da città lontane. Di conseguenza solo i ragazzi più ricchi possono studiare. I maestri più stimati guadagnano tanto e possono diventare molto famosi.  Gli studenti sono solo maschi, perché a quel tempo le donne non possono studiare, arrivano a Bologna anche da lontano e cercano alloggio, cibo e divertimenti per il loro tempo libero. Grazie alla presenza della sua università, Bologna diventa il centro più importante dell’Emilia Romagna e passa alla storia come “Bologna la Dotta”, che vuol dire la sapiente. All'università le lezioni sono in latino, perché nel Medioevo il latino è la lingua della cultura....

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

日本の年度始まりについて話します。
年度というのは、1年間をどこで区切るか、ということです。日本では、2023年度といえば、だいたいの会社や学校は2023年4月から2024年3月をいいます。

でも、海外だと、9月はじまりが多かったりしますね。では日本はなぜ4月からはじまるのか、知っていますか？
それについて話をしますね！

実はこれには江戸時代に関係があります。
江戸時代は日本の1600-1870年ぐらいまでの約300年ぐらい続きました。この時代にも税金を払っていたんですね。ですがこの時はお米でした。米を税金の代わりに納めていたんですね。時代は変わって明治時代になります。明治時代になると米を納めることはなくなりました。その代わりに米を売ってそのお金を税金として納めるようになりました。米を売ってすぐに税金を納めるのはむずかしかったので、時期がずれて4月が年度はじめになった、ということです。

ぼくははじめ、桜が咲いたりする時期で、なんとなく出会いと別れのイメージがありますが、それは自分で勝手に結びつけていたイメージなんだなと思いました。

一方で、海外はなぜ9月が多いかというと、これも同じような理由でした。夏は収穫で忙しい時期だったので、その後の9月にビジネスなどの新年度が始まるようになったそうです。いくつかのネットの情報を見たり、chat GPTに聞いてみたりしました。

ということで、日本では新しくはじまる時期が4月なんですね。それで新しいことを始める、という人も多いと思います。ぼくは今、英語を勉強していますが、オランダ語も勉強しようと思っています。Duolingo では、いろいろと言語を勉強しているんですが、それはまぁ、遊んでいる感じですね。今年はオランダ語、がんばって勉強しようかなぁと思っています。

みなさんは、何か新しくはじめること、はじめたことはありますか？ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！お待ちしています！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
