Sylva Mandarin

一点儿VS有点儿VS一下儿， how do we say “a little” in mandarin？

この前、コンサートに行ったんだけど、本当に最高だった！最後に行ったのはコロナの前だから2～3年ぶりかなぁ。fantasticsのコンサートに行ったんだけど、本当に神対応(かみたいおう)だった！主要都市だけじゃなくて、地方にもいくコンサートだからその土地の方言話したり、Twitterでその土地の有名な食べ物聞いてその食レポしたりしてて、すごいおもしろかった！

I went to a concert the other night, and it was absolutely fantastic! It's been a couple of years since I last went to a concert in front of Corona, and I went to ”fantastics from exile tribe” concert, and they were absolutely “warm-hearted response”! They were not only going to major cities, but also to rural areas, so they spoke in local dialects and asked their fans on Twitter about famous local foods, and did food reports on them.


日本のコロナのルールはまだ厳しいから、お客さんが声を出すのはだめで、拍手だけだったんだけど、それもすごいいいコンサートだった！アイドルのコンサートとか握手会に行くと塩対応だったっていうことも聞くけど、私は塩対応(しおたいおう)より神対応のほうが好きかな～。

The rules at Corona in Japan are still very strict, so the audience was not allowed to shout, only applaud, but it was a great concert! When I go to idol concerts or handshake events, I hear that they are “unfriendly attitude”, but I prefer a “warm-hearted response” to a “unfriendly attitude”.


塩対応で有名になったアイドルはAKB48の「ぱるる」だよね。この人は神対応をする日がないっていうくらい塩対応だったらしいよ。座ったまま、笑顔もなし、不機嫌な表情だったんだって。でも、それがいい！って人もいて、人気がでたからすごいよね！みんなは神対応と塩対応どっちが好き？

The idol who became famous for her “unfriendly attitude” is "Paruru" of AKB48. It is said that she was so “unfriendly attitude” that there was not a day when she did not give a “warm-hearted response”. She would just sit there, not even smiling, with a grumpy expression on her face. But that was good! And it's amazing that she became so popular! Which do you like better, the ““warm-hearted response”” or the salty response?

La storia di Benheart 🗝️

Negara Indonesia kaya dengan keberagaman. Sebanyak sekitar 5% dari penduduk Indonesia beretnis tionghoa, dan tradisi perayaan tahun baru imlek menjadi salah satu hari raya yang ikut memeriahkan banyak daerah di tanah air Indonesia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara demokrasi yang saling menghargai dan mencintai keberagaman. Sekalipun beragam dalam berbagai latar belakang, tapi Indonesia tetap satu. Itulah "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," yang menjadi semboyan bangsa Indonesia yang tertulis pada lambang negara. Mari kita mengenal tradisi dari perayaan tahun baru imlek. MERDEKA! 

Indonesia is rich in diversity. About 5% of the population in Indonesia is of Chinese descent, and the tradition of celebrating the Chinese New Year becomes one of the festive occasions that enlivens many regions in the archipelago. This indicates that Indonesia is a democratic country that values and embraces diversity. Despite the diversity in various backgrounds, Indonesia remains united. That is "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," the national motto of Indonesia written on the state emblem. Let's get to know the traditions of celebrating the Chinese New Year. MERDEKA!

How To Introduce Yourself In A Job Interview And Win The Attention Of The Hiring Manager?

Often times it's hard for us to open up to others (even ourselves), therefore there is a simple technique you can use that I give in this podcast. It has 3 steps and it will be described in detail. 

Here are some steps you can use to help you to apply the method I am describing:

1. Write about all your qualities that are required for the job.
2. Mention your personal attributes, but do so without sounding arrogant by using phrases such as “I believe that…”, “I think that…” or “I consider myself to be a…”
3. Your self introduction must be accurate and honest.

Last but not least - 4. Keep it short and simple. Don’t try to show off your knowledge of vocabulary or grammar. The interviewer is interested in whether you can do the job, not what you know about English :)

These simple steps can potentially allow you to impress the interviewer and can give you an advantage over other candidates that haven't though it thoroughly.
