In this podcast, we will define due diligence and how important it is when it comes to business and investments. I hope that this podcast will help listeners who are starting something risky.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストのシーズン２の20回目です。私は最近シカゴに旅行に行ったり、大阪で生徒さんに会ったりしていました。大阪は今すごく寒いです。寒いのであんかを買いました。あんかとは足を温める暖房器具です。机でもベッドでも使えるので便利です。

Hello, this is episode 20 of season 2 of my podcast. I've recently been travelling to Chicago and also meeting students in Osaka. It's very cold in Osaka right now. It's so cold that I bought Anka. Anka is a heating device that warms your feet. It is convenient because you can use it at your desk or on your bed. (It's a small electronic device that you can rest your feet on.)

もう今年も終わりですね。生徒さんの中にも、学校や仕事が終わって冬休みを過ごしている人がたくさんいます。最近、生徒さんとライフワークバランスの話をよくします。私もたまには出かけようと思って、外に出ましたが、今日は気温が2度しかなくてとても寒かったです。梅田の近くのクリスマスマーケットを見に行こうと思いましたが、思わず諦めてしまいました。「思わず」とは、するつもりがなかったのに、してしまうことです。代わりに近所でコーヒーを買って、スーパーで買い物をして帰りました。

It's the end of another year. Many of my students are enjoying their winter holidays after school and work. Recently, I have been talking a lot with my students about work-life balance. Therefore I decided to go out once in a while, but it was very cold today with a temperature of only 2 degrees Celsius (35.6F). I thought about going to see the Christmas market near Umeda, but I omowazu gave up. Omowazu (unintentionally) means that you didn't intend to, but you did. Instead, I bought a coffee in my neighbourhood, did some shopping at a supermarket and went home.

スーパーには正月の食材がたくさん並んでいます。カニや、数の子や、干し柿があります。正月はクリスマスの後ですが、日本では正月の方が長い祝日なので、クリスマスの時期から正月の準備を始める家が多いです。クリスマスの食べ物は24日だけ売ってます。12月のスーパーは忙しそうです。正月やクリスマスのための特別な商品を売りますし、正月の間は閉まるので、今はとても混雑しています。私はいつも水を買いますが、運ぶのが重いので少しずつ買わなければなりません。

S2 Ep20. 外が寒すぎる

In this episode I talk about the syrian education system, different types of schools, and the subjects we study in Syrian schools.

凡劳苦担重担的人可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。

Fán láokǔ dān zhòngdàn de rén kěyǐ dào wǒ zhèlǐ lái, wǒ jiù shǐ nǐmen dé ānxī.

수고하고 무거운 짐 진 모든 사람아, 내게로 오라. 내가 너희를 쉬게 하리라.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Have you ever said something in English… and someone responds:

“Sorry, can you repeat that?”

Even though your English is strong.

You know the vocabulary.
You understand conversations.
You use English at work every day.

So why do communication breakdowns still happen?

In this episode of the Own Your Speech Podcast, we explore one of the most common frustrations experienced by advanced English speakers: being asked to repeat yourself.

You’ll learn why the issue often has nothing to do with grammar or vocabulary, and how small speech patterns can affect clarity in conversation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The three key factors that influence speech clarity
• Why pronunciation patterns from your first language carry into English
• How rhythm and word stress affect listener understanding
• Why speech is a motor skill, not just a language skill
• How targeted practice can retrain speech patterns

You’ll also hear a science based tip explaining how the brain stores speech movements and why repetition is essential for lasting pronunciation change.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated when people ask you to repeat yourself, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and what you can do about it.
