Apa kabar semua? 
Tinggal beberapa hari sebelum akhir tahun 2023! Sangat cepat, bukan? 
Bagi kalian, tahun ini tahun seperti apa? Untuk saya, tahun ini adalah tahun yang penuh dengan perjalanan. Saya pergi ke banyak tempat dan dapat banyak pengalaman baru. Bagaimana dengan kalian?

Salah seorang teman saya bilang, di tahun 2023 ini dia kurang berhati-hati dan banyak menyesal. Menyesal adalah "regret" di Bahasa Inggris, dan di Bahasa Jepang adalah 後悔する。"Jadi di tahun 2024, harus sedia payung sebelum hujan!" katanya. 

Kalian mengerti artinya? siapkan payung sebelum terkena hujan. Artinya, lebih baik siapkan hal ini dan itu daripada nanti menyesal. Apa kalian juga orang yang selalu siapkan banyak hal sebelum masalah terjadi? Kalau saya, tergantung kondisi ya… kadang-kadang melakukan hal spontan dan tidak siapkan apa pun itu juga bagus, hanya ikut situasi atau kondisi yang mungkin terjadi. Yaa, hidup hanya satu kali, ayo kita menikmati dengan cara terbaik menurut kita.

Terima kasih banyak untuk para pendengar podcast saya ini, dan juga untuk murid-murid hebat saya di Italki. Kalian sudah memberi saya banyak inspirasi dan motivasi!! 
Selamat menyambut tahun baru! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! 
Happy New Year!  ^^

Failure Paradox

In Episode 86, you learn how positive emotions can supercharge your language learning. Each feeling—happiness, calm, peace, satisfaction, pride, excitement, love, and ambition—supports different parts of language study. You discover that happiness boosts vocabulary and creativity, calm strengthens grammar accuracy, peace improves pronunciation and listening, satisfaction locks in memorization, pride fuels speaking confidence, excitement speeds vocabulary recall, love reduces anxiety for speaking, and ambition sharpens goal-based tasks. You are guided to match each emotion to the right skill and to use short rituals to spark the state before practice.
