Why am I trusted by more than 1 million English learners globally?

It's a bold statement, but it's true. I personally touched more than 15 thousand students in my live classes, and not only that, I was there for them in times of need. 

The need wasn't to improve their English for a job interview or improve it for IELTS speaking. It was to uplift their spirits and be their assistant on this journey.

Most of you who read it have been learning English for 10+ years and are still struggling, so it isn't just to do with improving your English ability... It's something else, and it's hidden inside of you—your belief in yourself plays a major role!

What you think about yourself and how you see yourself is the key, and therefore, my podcast begins with the words of famous psychologist Emil Coué: "Every day, in every way, I am getting better, better, and better."

Start using this formula for the goal you have, and be surprised at what it'll offer you in return!

I'd love to personally support you on your journey of improving your English, let me know how I can do it.

University Students Interested in Stress-Reducing Cats
While a number of universities offer students opportunities to play with dogs as a way to reduce stress, little is known about whether cats could help in the same way.

So researchers from the US and Belgium surveyed more than 1,400 students and staff from 19 Belgian universities to see how interested they would be in on-campus cat visiting programs.

Participants were asked seven questions about a possible cat program, including whether they would like to have a cat on campus, if they would find it relaxing, whether they would visit the cat, and whether they would recommend a cat program to other universities. They gave each idea a score out of five.

The average total score was 3.8 in favor of a campus cat.

The researchers found that the people with the most positive feelings about a cat program were women, cat owners, people who were more emotional, and — perhaps surprisingly — people who were interested in dog programs.

The study authors said that previous research has shown that emotional people are more likely to have strong relationships with animals.

However, dog owners, as well as people who were afraid of or allergic to cats, were found to be less interested in a cat program. Some also worried that having a cat on campus would be risky.

According to the researchers, the aim of the study was to find more ways to help people feel less stressed.

They believe cats can help, since including both cats and dogs in these stress-reducing programs could encourage more people to take part, and cats would need less training than dogs to help.

AHUAUTLE 1
Se piensa que el ahuautle es de huevos de mosco, sin embargo, se trata del huevo del axayácatl, un tipo de chinche de agua. Su nombre proviene de los vocablos en náhuatl “atl” (agua) y “huautli” (semilla de la alegría o amaranto), por lo cual, significa “amaranto de agua”. Basta con ver estos huevecillos para entender que el parecido con los granos de amaranto es inmenso. Aunque sin duda, el parecido con el amaranto solo es superficial pues el ahuautle posee un olor penetrante y un sabor único, que difícilmente se puede olvidar.
Muchas personas han comparado su sabor con el del camarón, sin embargo después de haberlos probado podemos decir que el sabor de estos huevecillos es fuerte e incomparable y solo podrá entenderlo quien lo haya degustado.
Según Gilberto Contreras Rivero, profesor del área de Ecología en la Facultad de Estudios Profesionales Iztacala, el ahuautle es el caviar mexicano por excelencia. Cabe señalar que hay quienes le otorgan este título a los escamoles, que pertenecen, junto con los huevos de mosco, a la orden de insectos Hymenoptera.
El consumo del ahuautle comenzó durante la época prehispánica. Se dice que era presentado en la mesa de los emperadores -Moctezuma, por ejemplo-, quienes se deleitaban comiéndolos recién sacados del lago a la hora del desayuno. Y es que tanta era la preferencia por este platillo que incluso cada 52 años -duración del siglo mexica-, este caviar se utilizaba en las ceremonias dedicadas al dios del fuego: Xiuhtecuhtli. Durante estos rituales, después de que seres humanos eran sacrificados, se encendía fuego sobre su pecho vacío -pues previamente se había extraído el corazón- y se rociaban huevecillos de axayácatl sobre el cadáver que iba vestido como Xiuhtecuhtli.
Dato curioso: El culto al axayácatl fue de tal magnitud que así se le nombró al sucesor del emperador Moctezuma I y padre de Moctezuma II.

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。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回のPodcastは日本の話。
北海道のさっぽろ雪まつりについてです。

今年2024年も、札幌で雪まつりがあります。

今年の期間は、2/4〜2/11までの1週間です。

さっぽろ雪まつりは、1950年に地元の中・高校生が6つの雪像を大通公園に作ったことがきっかけで始まりました。

それからなんと今年で74回目の開催。
21.22年はオンラインのみで開催されました。

去年2023年はぼくも奥さんと一緒に見に行きました。
本当に寒かったですが、たくさんのクオリティの高い雪像せつぞうがあり、おどろきました。

去年も外国の方はたくさんいましたが、今年はもっと多いでしょうね。

ちなみに、今年のデザインの1つは、マンガのゴールデンカムイです！

ここ3年ぐらいでぼくが1番好きなマンガです。

このマンガは明治時代の北海道とアイヌの話。
死刑囚たちが隠した、たくさんの埋蔵金をさがすストーリー。

今年はそのマンガの雪像が見られます！
行ける人、うらやましいです！


ぼくのレッスンを受けてくれている人が1人、雪まつりに行くと話していました。

彼に写真をたくさん撮ってもらって、そのことについてレッスンで話したいなと考えています。

もし、みなさんの中で今日本にいて、ちょうど時間がある人は、さっぽろ雪まつりを見に行くのもいいですね！


ということで、
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！
