あけましておめでとうございます。のぞみです。今年もよろしくお願いします。
今年は新年早々、石川県の能登半島で震度７の地震があり、お正月早々被災している方々がいる状況です。
また、昨日は羽田空港で、被災地に物資を運んでいた海上保安庁の飛行機と全日空の飛行機が衝突するという残念な事故が起きてしまいました。ポッドキャストを聞いてくださっている皆様が、被害に遭われていないことを願うと同時に、被災された方々には、心よりお見舞い申し上げます。

さて、私の今年の新年の迎え方をご紹介します。

まず、１２月２９日、３０日と家の大掃除と断捨離をがんばりました。大掃除は家中をきれいにすることです。台所のコンロを洗ったり、お風呂やトイレを掃除したり、窓を拭いたりと普段念入りには掃除しない部分を掃除しました。断捨離とは、皆さんもご存じかもしれません。要らないものと要るものを分けて、要らないもの捨てることです。今年は主人のスーツをかなり捨てました。
12月３１日（大晦日）。１２月３１日の午後４時に年越しそばを食べに、近くの蕎麦屋に行きました。蕎麦を食べて、一年の厄災(やくさい)を断ち切るというのが、江戸時代から慣習のようです。なので、私も蕎麦を食べて、一年の厄災を断ち切りました。
そのあとは、自宅に帰り、お風呂に入り、夕飯の準備をしました。夕飯はお節料理です。今年のお節料理は高島屋で買ったものと、自分で作ったものです。ＮＨＫの歌番組の紅白が始まるのと同時に、乾杯！！
お節料理を食べながら、お酒を飲みながら、そして紅白を見ながら、一年を振り返っておりました。
１月１日０時に「あけましておめでとう」と言って、眠りにつきました。
１月１日は朝寝坊をして、朝ごはんはお餅が入っているお雑煮を食べました。私が作ったのは関東風のお雑煮です。いろんな具材が入っていて、美味しかったです。
お昼からは近所の神社に初詣へいきました。
１月２日は、主人と娘だけで、主人の母の家は新年のご挨拶に行きました。今年は受験生の息子がいるので、私と息子は自宅で留守番。お昼ごはんは、マックでした。早くもお節に飽きた息子のリクエストです。
２日は特に用事がなかったので、友人とＳＮＳで新年のメッセージ交換をしあって楽しみました。それから「日本の歴史」のマンガを読んだり、「ＮＡＲＵＴＯ」「鬼滅の刃」「のだめカンタービレ」を読み直したりしていました。

そして、今日は１月３日。朝から娘と一緒に初売りに行きました。セールが始まっているので、娘の洋服を買いました。

これが私のお正月でした。

「のぞみ」の日記

2024年　お正月

Describe a story somebody told you and you remember

You should say:

Who told you the story
What the story was about
Why do you remember it

And explain how you felt about it.







“I guess I probably heard many stories back when I was a little kid, but the one that has always stuck in my mind is a story my grandfather told me when I was maybe about 7 or 8 years of age. My grandfather, who was an incredibly kind and loving person was however,  a man of few words…but when he had something to say, it was usually something worth remembering, and something very interesting about his own life growing up back in the day.

I remember it was Christmas time when he told me this story about his life, when he was about the same age as I was at the time, and how life was so different back then. He told me how when he was growing up, the family were very hard up and often strapped for cash, and were not able to have a proper Christmas dinner like most families today. 

He went on to tell me how both of his parents had to work every god given hour, pinching every penny, so they could just put enough food to survive on the table.

It’s a story I have always remembered, and often think about, even today. It reminds me of how lucky and privileged I was growing up, in a pretty well off family, never wanting for anything. I still feel thankful to this day, when i stop to think of the sacrifices that my grandparents and their parents before them had to make so we can live the lives we have today.


Thank you…”

A hundred Malayalam sentences in themed blocks, said slowly, with an English gloss for each. If you kept nothing else, keep these. Run the whole hundred whenever your Malayalam slips — fifteen minutes, and it comes back.

I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.

BLOCK 1 — GREETING AND MEETING
നമസ്കാരം - namaskaram - greetings
സുഖമാണോ? - sukhamano? - are you well?
പേര് എന്താണ്? - peru enthanu? - what is your name?

മലയാളത്തിൽ പറയാമോ? - malayalathil parayamo? - could you say it in Malayalam?

ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞത് ശരിയാണോ? - njan paranjathu shariyano? - is what I said correct?
ഒന്ന് തിരുത്താമോ? - onnu thiruthamo? - could you correct me?
എനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലായില്ല - enikku manassilayilla - I did not understand
മനസ്സിലായി - manassilayi - I understood

BLOCK 3 — QUESTIONS
എന്താണ്? ആരാണ്? എവിടെയാണ്? എപ്പോഴാണ്? എങ്ങനെയാണ്? എന്തുകൊണ്ട്? എത്രയാണ്?
enthanu? aaranu? evideyanu? eppozhanu? enganeyanu? enthukondu? ethrayanu?
what? who? where? when? how? why? how much?

BLOCK 4 — GETTING BY
അതെ - athe - yes
ഇല്ല - illa - no, there is not
അല്ല - alla - no, it is not
മതി - mathi - enough
വേണം / വേണ്ട - venam / venda - I want it / I do not want it
അറിയില്ല - ariyilla - I do not know
സാരമില്ല - saaramilla - never mind
ക്ഷമിക്കണം - kshamikkanam - sorry, excuse me

BLOCK 5 — SHOPS AND MONEY
ഇത് എത്രയാണ്? - ithu ethrayanu? - how much is this?

ബാക്കി തരണം - baakki tharanam - please give the change

DICTADO B1."El día que casi pierdo el tren".

My warmest welcome to you. You are listening to episode 3 of the 111 Tips for Learning a Language. From Episode 1, we identified our most comfortable way of learning. From Episode 2, we zoomed in on mastering one aspect of the language. In this episode, I am going to ask you to determine:-
(1)	When you would like to learn; and 
(2)	Where you would like to learn; and lastly
(3)	How much time you would like to spend learning. 

Once you have clear answers about the when, where and how much time you have, you should be able to set a regular routine for learning. As we know, a routine is repetitive, therefore we would gradually become accustomed to sticking to it. It is just like brushing our teeth every morning. The goal is to make our learning schedule a habit. Once it becomes a habit, you would not think twice about straying away from it.  

It is advisable though to set a short, easy routine initially. This is so that you would not find it too difficult to keep up with. When you first start following your schedule the first few times, you are actually training yourself to become more disciplined. With discipline comes habit.  
Research has shown that humans are creatures of habit. Once your schedule is set, you are ready to go! When learning is a habit, you are consistently making progress in learning the language of your choice. Our podcast has now come to an end. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode. 


💃🏻111 Tips for Learning a Language 

Tip 3 – Set a learning routine and stick to it.

An urban design firm is hoping to create the "world's greenest highway" by covering a major road in Dubai with gardens, trees, walkways and solar panels.

The proposed 64-kilometer-long road, called the "Dubai Green Spine," would see the Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main highways, enhanced with over 1 million trees and enough solar panels to power 130,000 homes.

Dubai-based design firm URB says its road concept would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million metric tons per year, and help the city manage the needs of a population that's expected to grow from over 3 million today to nearly 8 million by 2040.

URB's design aims to reduce city heat and improve air quality while offering a safe, attractive and accessible route for commuting and leisure. Green spaces would be combined with walking and cycling paths, and electric tram lines would have solar panels built directly into the tracks.

Bus shelters and elevators would have rooftop solar panels, while garden-covered paths over the highway would make a walk from one side to the other easy and enjoyable.

URB CEO Baharash Bagherian says the concept is about "proving that our streets can do more than facilitate car traffic; they can significantly enhance quality of life."

He says the design takes a "human-centric approach" that prioritizes people and green spaces over cars.

However, it takes a lot of water to grow plants in Dubai. CNN notes that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) already consumes around 550 liters of water per person every day, compared to an average of 310 liters in the US and 144 liters in the European Union.

And most of the UAE's water isn't used for drinking — it's just needed to keep parts of the desert country green.

With this in mind, URB's design includes drought-resistant plants and special soil that helps retain water.

URB has also proposed designs for a 93-kilometer indoor cycling and walking "highway" called
