How are you doing?

You don’t sound like yourself in English?
That’s not a language problem.

After 20,000+ hours of 1-to-1 work with professionals from 70 countries, I noticed one pattern almost everyone misses.

People don’t struggle because they lack English.

They struggle because they’re speaking from the wrong role.

In this short podcast, I share:
•	why learning more often makes things worse
•	why English collapses under pressure
•	and the one shift that changes how you sound without adding skills

One question to listen with:

Who are you being when you speak English — a student or a communicator?

If learning feels endless, this may explain why.
Press play. This one lands fast.

Everyday Dialogues

Asking for a Job Promotion 💰💼

In the first episode of No Such Thing as a Synonym, we kick things off with a pair of very familiar verbs: "see" and "watch". 

When you look up these words in a dictionary you’ll find they have virtually identical definitions. However, I want to let you in on a secret – the dictionary isn’t telling you the whole story. 

In this episode, we’ll explore the pragmatic and subtle differences between the two words, including the difference between “seeing a film” and “watching a film” and “seeing someone fall off their bike” and “watching someone fall off their bike”. 

Listen along to learn something new!

No Such Thing as a Synonym

01: See & Watch

“For years now, I've dreamed about taking an adventure in Vietnam, and I feel like I’m finally ready to take the plunge! I would be super excited to explore the lush jungles, cruise the bustling cities, and experience the unique culture of this vibrant country.

I’d definitely want to go on this adventure with my best buddy John, as he’s also really into travel and adventure, as well as always up for anything.

I would really like to get out and experience all that Vietnam has to offer. I would love to be able to climb the incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs of Halong Bay, which I’ve seen on a few different documentaries, and is on the top of my bucket list. 

Another adventurous thing I’d really want to try would be scuba diving in the gorgeous coral reefs, as well as relaxing on some of the stunning beaches. I'm sure I would also be able to enjoy some amazing local food, and maybe even take a few cooking classes. As well as that, I’d also love to learn more about the fascinating history of the country.

I guess I would be a little nervous about the whole trip, but I’d also be very eager to get out there and explore. I'm sure there would be some bumps along the way, but hey, that would be all part of the adventure. I'm always ready to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown.

I'm so looking forward to having an epic adventure in Vietnam one of these days, and I'm sure it would be an incredible experience and I’d have so many wonderful stories to share with everyone back home. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm actually packing my bags and hitting the road!


Thank you.”

Introducción

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


今日は月見、について話します。
月見は日本の風習の1つです。

実際、今の時代では、ゆっくり時間をとって、月を見ながら団子を食べる、というようなことはしないと思います。

もともとは中国から伝わっています。
この風習が800年代に日本に伝わりました。

当時は貴族が行うようなイベントで、ふつうの、一般の人にはなじみはありませんでした。

江戸時代、月見が一般的になった時には、芋煮を食べることが多かったそうです。

そのあと、だんごを供えるように変化して、今にいたります。

はじめにも言いましたが、この時期の満月の時に、みんなで集まって月を見ながらだんごを食べる、ということは今はしません。

でもこの時期はスーパーなどでは、月見団子が売っていたりします。

おもしろいのは、マクドナルドが月見バーガーというハンバーガーを毎年販売しています。目玉焼きを挟んだハンバーガーですが、人気があります。

みなさんの国では、この時期、なにかおもしろい風習はありますか？

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！

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！
