Learning MAS through stories.

A part of a story from One Thousand and One Nights.

El Mohán es una de las leyendas más temidas y conocidas en las zonas ribereñas de Colombia, especialmente cerca del río Magdalena. Se dice que es un ser mitológico, mitad hombre y mitad monstruo, con una gran barba y ojos brillantes como brasas. Vive en cuevas cerca de los ríos, donde guarda tesoros escondidos.

El Mohán es conocido por ser un ser muy celoso y caprichoso. A menudo asusta a los pescadores, hundiendo sus canoas o enredando sus redes de pesca. También es famoso por robar mujeres jóvenes y hermosas para llevarlas a su cueva, donde las retiene por un tiempo antes de liberarlas.

A pesar de su naturaleza temible, algunas versiones cuentan que si logras hacerle una ofrenda adecuada, como tabaco o aguardiente, puede volverse más amigable y ayudarte a encontrar oro o protegerte en el río.

5 Idioms - Week 2

What does it mean to be innovative in business?

In order for a business to survive in today's world, it is important that we regularly review what we are doing and how we are doing it. By considering new ideas and new ways of doing things, and trying to innovate, we can improve on our products/services, increase sales, reduce costs and make our processes more effective and efficient. Innovation is key to increasing profits.

There are several ways a company can be innovative with their products and services. Today we will look at four of them.

1. Using the latest technology to improve your product/service

When we think of innovation, we often think of new technologies. While they might be impressive, we should not use new technologies just because they are available. It is important to consider how the technology can improve our product/service and make a difference to our customer. Companies that produce cars, toiletries, household appliances, etc. often have a large R&D department to work on making their products better.

2. Responding to customer demands by changing what is on offer

By listening to customer feedback, we can get their opinions on how we are doing and find out about what it is that they want. We also need to be aware of changes in customer demands and keep up with the times. When fast-food restaurant McDonald's realised that the market wanted healthier choices, they introduced fruit and salads, while removing the 'super-size' option from their menus.

Learning Italian can feel exciting… and sometimes, a little confusing — right? 💭
Especially when you come across expressions that sound almost the same,
but actually mean something a bit different.

Today, we’re looking at one of those classic Italian pairs:
👉 “Quanto costa” and “Quant’è.”

Both are super common when you’re out shopping, ordering a coffee, or paying the bill —
but they’re not always used in the same way.

So, if you’ve ever hesitated between the two… don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone.
Let’s break it down together, step by step.

🟢 In this episode, we’ll explore the meaning, the grammar, and the usage of both expressions —
with examples and a bit of cultural context,
so you can confidently use them in real-life conversations.

“Quanto costa” vs. “Quant’è”: What’s the difference?

Dear podcast listeners,

After a two-week vacation in Lithuania, I'm back again with yet another video. This time I'd like to present to you my hometown, Kaunas.

I hope that you won't be bothered by the city's noises and you will enjoy hearing more about the history of Kaunas and enjoy its scenery. 

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

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。


みなさんはKindle Unlimitedに入っていますか？
知っている人が多いと思いますが、簡単に説明しますね。

日本だと、200万冊以上の本を月額980円で読むことができるサービスです。

調べてみたんですが、現在サービスを展開している国は、アメリカ、イギリス、ドイツ、フランス、イタリア、スペイン、ブラジル、メキシコ、カナダ、インド、中国、だそうです。

ぼくももちろん入っていて、たくさんは読みませんが、今知りたいことに関する本は読むことがあります。



それで、今日は1つお知らせがあります。
実は、Kindleで日本語学習のための本を出しました！
簡単な本です。

日本語で良く使う名詞を50コ、ピックアップしました。
その名詞を使った例文を10コずつ載せた本です。

アルファベットでふりがなをつけましたので、日本語をまだ読めない人でも、少し読みやすいと思います。

英語の訳もつけました。日本語の意味を確認しながら、勉強することができます。

この本はKindleで買うことができますが、実はunlimitedなら無料で読むことができます！すごいですよね。本当に便利な時代です。

WEBサイトやYouTubeだと広告が出てきて気が散りますね。ですが、Kindleで読むと当たり前ですが、本の中には広告は出ません。これは学習に集中できるのでとても良いと思います。


今回ははじめて名詞50コの本を作ってみましたので、興味がある人はぜひunlimitedで読んでみてください！名詞のいろんな使い方が分かりますので、声に出しながら読むと記憶に残りやすくなりますよ！

ということで、今回はKindle unlimitedで日本語学習のための本を出しました！という話でした。

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！
