Rob: Hi Selma, how are you?

Selma: Oh hi Rob! I’m doing well, thanks. Just finished that essay that’s due in tomorrow. It was a tough topic!

Rob: Tell me about it. It took me ages. So, listen, I wanted to ask you about Netflix. You subscribe to it, don’t you?

Selma: I do, yes.

Rob: I’m thinking about signing up, but I wanted to get your view on it. Is it worth the money?

Selma: I really think it is, although I don’t know that everyone would agree with me. I’m a huge fan of crime series, so there’s nothing I love more than binge-watching a whole series in a day in my pijamas.

Rob: I keep reading about some really interesting films coming up on there – there was that Martin Scorsese film recently?

Selma: Oh yes, The Irishman. I haven’t seen it yet, but Jane loved it and said it was some of his best work. So, it’s on my list. But absolutely everything is covered. There’s Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Cartoons, you name it. I’ve seen some really thought-provoking documentaries on there recently. There’s Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich which takes a really good look at the system we live in and its problems and then makes suggestions for how to fix it. I watched What The Health which looks at the links between the food industry and healthcare. I’ve had a lot of discussions with other students about that one.

Rob: Is there much music stuff on there?

Selma: Loads! Film from concerts, documentaries about Bowie, Oasis, Bob Dylan… you like Hip Hop, don’t you? There is a great series called Hip Hop Evolutionthat goes into how it all started. It’s fascinating. What I really like about Netflix though is because there’s such a huge audience, there’s a lot of representation of different groups in society. There are loads of foreign films, there’s LGBTQ themes, Black and Asian directors. Something for everyone. Did you hear about Squid Game?

Rob: Oh yeah, the Korean series?

Selma: Yes, it was brilliant and completely unlike anything you’d see over here.

朋友们你们好！这一集我已经准备了一些自己非常喜欢的零食。它们是我学习汉语过程中的几条心得。我话就不多说了，我们边吃边学吧！


1）给自己定下小目标：
比如说：你每天都会学10分钟的汉语。听起来很短，才十分钟！不过如果你一年365天每天都全心全意地学10分钟，相信我，你会学到很多东西！

2）改变手机语言 ：
一开始，可能会有很多词语你看不懂，但是我们每天随时都要用手机，所以你慢慢会习惯的。

3）模仿本地人的发音和语气：
在看视频，看电视剧或者在听播客的时候，可以暂停一下，模仿他们说的每一句话。这是一个能帮助你练习自然口音的方法。我个人觉得特别有用！

4）自己录音：
学习时，可以录一下你说汉语的声音。这个方法有两个目的。首先，录完就可以自己听，然后跟母语者说的作比较。其次，学习了一段时间后，回头再听就可以感觉到你的进步，鼓励自己！

5）不要怕被笑话：
很多朋友担心自己说错，所以很少开口。你知道吗，你虽然会认识很多生词，但是如果你不说话，那些词你会很容易忘掉的。多多说话不但帮你说得更流利，而且也是学习和复习词语的一个好方式。

最后有一个小小的tip想跟你们分享一下。有不少朋友问了我，如果想轻松地跟中国朋友聊天那应该学习什么内容：我觉得只要是让你感兴趣的内容，你都可以去学。学自己喜欢的，这样会更有意思，学得更快！

希望我的那几个秘诀可以帮助大家提高自己的汉语水平，让你们学习的旅程更简单，更开心！
祝你们新的一年有新的开始，新的收获和成功！

This is going really well!

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は20℃ぐらいです。
北海道はこれからどんどん涼しくなりそうです。

おととい、昨日と大阪へ行っていました。
日本語教師の学校へ行っていました。

この9月で学校は終わりなのでもう少しがんばります！
今月は留学生のみなさんに模擬授業をします。

私は来週に授業をしないといけないので、準備をしています。いろいろ変えようと思っているので大変です。
でも、実際に留学生のみなさんに授業ができるのはとても楽しみです！緊張しますけど。

個人的には、学校の授業のような形よりも、1対1、マンツーマンで話すことが好きです。

私はオンラインでいつもいろんな国の方と日本語で会話をします。お互いの国のことや生活のこと、習慣、文化、言葉のことも話します。個人的な話もたくさんします。これも本当に楽しいです。

みなさんにとって、私と日本語で話すことはとても良いことだと思います。ほとんどの人が、近くに日本人がいなかったり、いるけど日本語を話す機会がなかったり。そんな時はぜひ私と話をしましょう！

私は、いろんな国の人と話すことがとても好きです。
知らないことをたくさん知ることができます。
日本にいると、日本のことしか分からないことが多いです。
でもみなさんと話すと、視野が広がります。
ですので、みなさんとのレッスンの時間はいつも楽しいです。

もし話したいと思った人はぜひ、italkiでレッスンを予約してくださいね！話せることを楽しみにしています。

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！
