My English is poor” - Breaking Free: Step 3 (Episode 396)

Unlock Your Potential: The Essential Element for Confident Communication

Welcome to episode three of our series on transforming the belief “My English is poor.” Today, we’re going a step further.

My goal is to open up a world of possibilities, helping you imagine the difference a new perspective on your English can make.

How will your feelings shift? How will you perceive the world differently? How will your experiences change?

This is an essential step in developing a powerful, resilient belief – a bulletproof vessel against negativity – creating a structure that makes you more confident and assured.

If you’re finding this difficult, consider my VIP training. It’s designed to save you a great deal on continued learning costs, because without a shift in your core beliefs, a level of underlying dissatisfaction in yourself and in your English will always remain.

오늘은 한국 회사에서 정말 자주 쓰이는 표현, ‘확인 부탁드립니다’에 대해 배워볼게요.

‘확인하다’는 무언가를 다시 살펴보고, 문제가 없는지 또는 필요한 내용이 빠지지 않았는지를 점검하는 것을 말해요. 영어로는 check 또는 confirm이라는 뜻이죠.

그리고 여기서 ‘부탁드립니다’는 영어로 말하면 ‘please’와 같은 표현이에요.
공손하게 무언가를 요청할 때 쓰는 말이죠. 그래서 ‘확인 부탁드립니다’는 결국
→ “Please check” 또는 “Kindly confirm”이라는 뜻이 되는 거예요.

예를 들어, 어떤 파일을 이메일로 보낸 뒤에는 이렇게 말할 수 있어요.
👉 “첨부한 문서 확인 부탁드립니다.”
이 문장은 “이거 잘 받으셨는지, 내용에 이상은 없는지 한번 봐주세요”라는 의미를 담고 있어요.
상대방에게 부담을 주지 않으면서 자연스럽게 확인을 요청할 수 있는 표현입니다.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re continuing the conversation between Jennifer and James. In the last episode, James had just met Jennifer while he was walking in the park. Her dog had fetched a ball and had come close to him. Jennifer was in the middle of telling him why she started dog sitting for her friend. Listen to the story in this episode to grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!
“I was having coffee with my friend, Sarah, and we were talking about how difficult it is to live up to the standards of being a “modern woman.” Jennifer started her story.
“Oh, that sounds like an interesting conversation…” James responded. “I’ve always felt like it must be almost impossible for women to balance career and family. Especially single women.”
“Well, yeah, that’s what we were saying to each other. There’s a lot of pressure on women to be “independent,” as if they don’t need men in their lives. I think marriage and family are great and I hate the stigma that is sometimes given to housewives in our society.”
“That’s an interesting perspective to hear from a woman.” James replied. “You wouldn’t know that based on what you see in the media.”
“Exactly. Anyways, Sarah is married, so she and her husband are taking a trip this weekend. She works as an accountant, so she stays busy, but she wants to have kids, too. That’s why we were talking about “modern women.” Anyhow, I offered to watch their dog for the weekend, so here I am!” Jennifer explained.
“I see. That’s nice of you to do for her!” James appreciated this small act Jennifer was doing for her friend. He wanted to learn more about her, but she had a question for him.
“So, what brings you out to the park on a Saturday morning?” Jennifer inquired.
“I like to go for a walk when I’m thinking about something.” James told her.
“Ah, ok. So, can I ask what’s on your mind?” Sarah asked with an inquisitive look on her face. 
James was more than happy to tell her.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの25回目です。今日は3回目のワクチンを受けました。2回目と違って予約は必要なく、場所も近所だったので簡単でした。午後、私はワクチンを打ったことを忘れていて、筋トレをしてしまいました。ワクチンを打った後は、激しい運動は禁止なので、ちょっと不安です。具合が悪くならないといいです。

Hello. This is episode 25 of my podcast. Today I had my third vaccine - unlike the second one, I didn't need an appointment and the location was in my neighbourhood, so it was easy. In the afternoon I forgot that I had had the vaccine and did some muscle training. I'm a bit worried because after the vaccine, I'm not allowed to do any strenuous exercise. I hope I won't get sick.

今日の朝レッスンで、質問がありました。カタカナの単語についてです。一般的に、日本語では、外国語の単語をカタカナで表現します。ところが、カタカナと日本語の2種類の言い方ができる単語もあります。例えば、「ティッシュペーパー」は「ちり紙」とも言われます。いつ、どっちを使うのか？という質問でした。今日はこのことについてお話ししたいと思います。

In today's morning lesson, a question was asked. It is about katakana words. Generally, in Japanese, foreign words are written in Katakana. However, some things can be expressed using 2 different words: an imported foreign word which is written in katakana, and a native Japanese word which is written in Hiragana or Kanji. For example, 'Tisshupe-pa- (tissue paper)' is a foreign word. You can also use the native Japanese word: ‘Chirigami (tissue paper)’. When do we use which one? This was the question. Today I would like to talk about this.

商品のマーケティングや広告には、カタカナがよく使われます。例えば、日本のファッションのウェブサイトでは「ニット」「キャップ」「マフラー」などの単語が使われています。これらを日本語で「編み物」「帽子」「襟巻き」と言うこともできますが、カタカナを使うことで、現代的なイメージにしています。とくに「襟巻き」は古いイメージのある言葉で、お年寄りの人以外が使っているのを聞いたことがありません。

Katakana is often used in product marketing and advertising. For example, Japanese fashion websites use words such as 'Nitto (knit)', 'Kyappu (cap)' and 'Mafura- (A scarf. From the old-fashioned English word "muffler")'. These could be called 'Amimono (knit)', 'Boushi (cap)' or 'Erimaki (scarf)' in Japanese, but the use of Katakana gives them a modern image. In particular, 'Erimaki (scarf)' has an old-fashioned image and I have never heard it used except by elderly people.
