手土産って難しい・・・

GWに関西に帰り、旦那と私、両家の母親の合計４人で食事に行った。
旦那のお義母さんは、２つも手土産を持ってきていた。１つは京都の名産であるタケノコ、もう１つは高そうな和菓子だった。一方、私の母は１つしか手土産を持ってきていなかった。しかもリーズナブルな大阪のお菓子だ。その手土産は相手が持って帰るときに重くならないようにと選んだのだが、何とも言えない気持ちになった。
次回からは手土産なしで会を開こうと思う。

Apart from the obvious language differences between your own language and English, there are also likely to be differences in the way job interviews are handled. Some companies have a very formal job interview process run by dedicated HR professionals, who strive to find the best educated and experienced people, while others have more informal recruitment processes and are more interested in your personal qualities and attributes, rather than technical skills and knowledge.

In most cases, however, you are more likely to experience a mix of both formal and informal approaches to job interviews.

El Mundo Hispanohablante (the Spanish-speaking world)

Hello, everyone. Today, I would like to have a short talk about the phrases from "Minna no Nihongo" Chapter 1. When you say, "I’m from Japan, 日本から来ました," it sounds natural. However, if you are Thai and living in Thailand, saying "タイからきました" sounds very strange. The phrase "～からきました" implies that you are not currently in that place.

Perhaps in English, it would be fine for a Canadian in Canada to say 'I’m from Canada' in a setting with people from various countries. This highlights a subtle difference between Japanese and English.

Thank you for listening today. Currently, my "Minna no Nihongo" course and the group lesson course are available at half price for the first session, so if you're interested, please feel free to message me.

Good luck with your studies!

The story of DB Cooper revolves around the mysterious hijacking of Northwest Orient Airline's Flight 305 in Washington on November 24th, 1971. A man who identified himself as Dan Cooper demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, threatening a bomb on board. After securing the ransom and releasing passengers in Seattle, Cooper instructed the pilot to fly to Mexico City, but due to fuel constraints, they landed in Reno, Nevada. During the stop, Cooper disappeared with the money and one parachute. Despite an extensive search, the investigation into Cooper's identity and whereabouts has endured for decades, marked by numerous dead ends and mysteries.
