祖父との思い出

私の母方（ははかた）の祖父は鹿児島（かごしま）に住んでいた。小さいころは毎年夏休みに泊まりに行っていた。
印象的な思い出は庭で天然鰻（てんねん　うなぎ）を捌（さば）いて、七輪（しちりん）で蒲焼き（かばや　き）を作ってくれたことだ。本当にかっこいい姿だった。そんな祖父が今週亡くなり、とても寂しい。祖父との思い出はいつまでも忘れない。

けんと日本語/Japanese with Ken

でんしゃのマナー/the manners on the Japanese train

قد أنعم الله على أيوب عليه السلام،
ورزقه نعمًا كثيرة.

كان لديه مال،
وأرض،
وأبناء،
وكان يعيش حياة طيبة.

لكن بعد ذلك ابتلاه الله ابتلاءً شديدًا.

ففقد ماله،
وكثيرًا من أولاده،
وأصابه مرضٌ شديد في جسده.

تركه أغلب الناس.

لكن أيوب عليه السلام
لم يشتكِ من قضاء الله،
ولم يتوقف عن الصبر.

كانت زوجته تقف معه،
وتخدمه،
وتصبر على ما أصابه.

ومرت سنوات طويلة
وهو على هذا الحال.

لكن قلبه بقي مليئًا بالإيمان.

وفي يومٍ من الأيام،
دعا ربّه دعاءً صادقًا.

قال كما ذكر الله في القرآن:

﴿أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ﴾

فاستجاب الله دعاءه.

وأمره أن يضرب الأرض بقدمه.

قال الله تعالى:

﴿ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ ۖ هَٰذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ﴾

فخرج ماءٌ من الأرض،
فاغتسل منه وشرب.

فشفاه الله من مرضه،
وأعاد إليه صحته،
ورزقه من الخير
أكثر مما كان.

وهكذا كانت قصة أيوب عليه السلام…

قصة نبيٍّ
علّم الناس معنى الصبر.

فمهما اشتدّ البلاء…

فإن رحمة الله
قريبة.

Episode 19 : Summer and Winter Vacation time around the world. What are your plans? 

It’s hard for many people to admit they don’t understand something (whether they're native or non-native English speakers). But it’s crucial for avoiding misunderstandings and a vital skill to learn for your career success. 

In the workplace, you must speak up when you don’t understand. Otherwise, you’re not doing your part to ensure good communication is taking place. Do you have the humility, confidence, and vocabulary needed to speak up in the workplace? 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress Podcast episode to learn ways to ask for clarification at work. By the end of the episode, you’ll have five tried-and-true phrases to ask for clarification.

Feeling Misunderstood? 5 Phrases to Use When Asking for Clarification

Lesson 1: Build a Study Habit as Solid as the Titanic’s Hull
The Titanic’s hull was state-of-the-art, yet it wasn’t indestructible. Similarly, your study habits need to be strong, but they don’t have to be perfect. Start small—just like the shipbuilders who started with a blueprint. Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to learning your language. Research shows that consistent practice, even in small increments, leads to long-term success.
Your daily routine is your hull. If it’s solid, you’ll keep floating, even when you hit minor obstacles.

Lesson 2: Spot the Icebergs Before They Hit
The Titanic didn’t see the iceberg until it was too late. When it comes to studying, your "icebergs" are distractions, unrealistic expectations, and burnout. Be mindful of these obstacles before they derail you. Set realistic goals, like learning five new words a day instead of fifty.
Think of distractions like incoming icebergs on the horizon—acknowledge them, steer clear, and keep your focus steady.
________________________________________
Lesson 3: Lifeboats Are Non-Negotiable
The Titanic’s lack of lifeboats was its greatest tragedy. In language learning, lifeboats represent backup plans for when life gets overwhelming. Too tired to study grammar? Watch a short video in your target language instead. Feeling stuck on vocabulary? Try a language game instead of a workbook.
Lifeboats are your Plan B—your way to keep moving forward even when your primary routine is disrupted.
