🎧 The AI Is Watching You

What if your job interview was evaluated not by a person, but by artificial intelligence?

In Korea, AI interviews are already used by major companies like Hyundai and LG.

This episode explores how facial expressions, tone of voice, and even blinking can impact your score—and what that says about hiring culture in Korea.

最近見たアニメ

日本語の勉強をし始めたきっかけとしてアニメや漫画をあげる生徒がとても多いです。私は子供の時はアニメを見て育ったんですが、大人になるにつれてアニメを見なくなっていました。最近はジブリの宮崎駿監督の最新作が出ればちょっと興味が湧くくらいでほとんどアニメを見ることはなかったのですが、生徒さんにアニメ好きが多いので日本語講師としてある程度は知っておくべきだと思い、見るようにしています。

今回は最近見たアニメでみなさんにオススメのアニメを紹介したいと思います。『泣きたい私は猫をかぶる』というタイトルのアニメです。ネタバレになってしまうので詳しくは書きませんが、学生時代の悩みや恋愛などのシーンを見て懐かしい気持ちになる素敵な映画でした。また、登場人物の心情描写も素晴らしかったです。ネットフリックスで見ることができるので、日本のアニメを見たいけどどれを見たらいいか分からない、という人にオススメです。見終わった後、暖かい気持ちになれる映画です。

Russian with Irina

Фразеологизмы русского языка. Idioms in Russian

Mum: Hi remember me?

Dad: Oh yeah, aren’t you wait, aren’t you the mother of my children?

Mum: Yes, how are you doing? Haven’t seen you in a while! 

Dad: Now I’ve put them to bed, I’m great! 

Mum: Today was exhausting!

Dad: Tell me about it. What time were you up?

Mum: About 4:30. I need that early morning time to get myself together and actually do some work before it all goes to hell.

Dad: Every night, I tell myself I’m going to do that, and every morning when the alarm goes off, I tell myself I need just a few more minutes of sleep.

Mum: You’re a night owl, I’m an early bird, it’s just how we are.

Dad: But I want to be an early bird and watch TV at night instead of doing the work I need to do. By the way, thanks for helping me out today. I owe you. Tomorrow, they’re mine.

Mum: It’s fine. Apart from when Justin dropped his yogurt, I think it went pretty well.

Dad: Oh, I don’t think anyone even noticed the screaming child while I was presenting – and if they did, they probably didn’t want to say anything in case they have their own children screaming on call in the future.

Mum: I don’t think I’m convinced about this hybrid working situation. Don’t get me wrong, I love not having to commute every day. With my job, that’s easily two hours of the day I get back. But organizing myself and kids and work?

Dad: Yeah, it’s a challenge. Some days I feel on top of it all, but there are days when I feel like I’m a terrible employee, a terrible father and a terrible husband.

Mum: (with joking intonation) Oh honey, don’t think like that. Trust me, you’re a terrible husband EVERY day, not just some days.

Dad: Just for that, I’m not going to tell you where Becky hid the chocolate Nutella.

Mum: I’ll just go and buy more.

Dad: or the car keys

Mum: Fine. You’re a wonderful husband on most days.

Dad: I’ll be wonderful tomorrow while you’re in your meeting. What are you doing again?

Mum: I’m just leading the meeting, but the CEO is going to be there.
