EP10  How to say 'Happy Birthday To You' in Thai [Native speaker] #learnthai #Thailanguage

Buongiorno e buona domenica.

Prima di andare a votare per le elezioni europee, ti invito ad ascoltare il mio nuovo podcast.

È un po’ più lungo degli altri, ma solo perchè

ALLA FINE CI SONO DUE CONVERSAZIONI CON DUE ITALIANI IN UN BAR.

ti consiglio di arrivare fino alla fine 😉.

Inoltre, la musica in sottofondo è di

PINO DANIELE, un cantautore napoletano, che negli anni ’70 ha portato il blues in Italia.

Le sue canzoni sono in napoletano, ma vale la pena ascoltarle - a proposito di dialetti.

Episode 2: A Typical Winter's Day in Cape Town (A2-B1)

Your Inner Saboteur is STEALING Your Profits (and Maybe Your Life!)

Self-sabotage. Sounds fluffy, right? WRONG. It’s the silent killer of success… and it’s likely rotting your English skills from the inside out.

Let’s get brutally honest. You’re doing this:

You’re playing horror movies in your head…

Picturing yourself stumbling, looking like a fool in front of clients.
Hearing your voice crack, sounding like a stumbling idiot.
Seeing yourself freeze, unable to string two words together.
Worst of all: Imagining the smirks, the laughter, the humiliation… so you just “leave the party” before it even starts.
Sound familiar? Maybe not that dramatic, but you’re doing some version of this. STOP. This shit is costing you EVERYTHING.

Every botched presentation, every lost client, every missed opportunity because you’re letting your inner critic run the show… that’s money ripped right out of your bank account. It’s years off your career. It’s a LIFE unfulfilled.

On my latest podcast, I expose exactly how you’re “beating yourself up” with your English—so you can finally understand what NOT to do and start getting paid what you’re worth.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

The hidden ways your negative self-talk is costing you deals.
How to silence the inner critic and unleash your authentic voice.
Proven strategies to build unstoppable confidence in any English situation.
This isn’t some feel-good therapy session. This is about money, power, and control.

Click to listen to the podcast NOW and take control of your English, your career, and your life.

P.S. Ready to stop playing small and finally dominate your industry with your English skills? Let’s talk. Book a private, one-on-one consultation with me, and let’s map out your path to unstoppable English success.

Asking about Family Members

こんにちは、Atsushiです。
昨日、おとといは晴れでしたが、今日は雨がずっと降っています。雨が降るとランニングができないので、困りますね。

最近、雨がよく降ります。
それで、世界の国々ではどれぐらい雨が降るのか調べてみました！

グローバルノート、というサイトで、世界の年間降水量 国別ランキング・推移を見てみました。

みなさん、世界で1番雨が降る国はどこかわかりますか？

1位はなんと、コロンビアでした！
2位はサントメ・プリンシペ、という国です、(初めて聞きました)
3位はパプアニューギニアでした。

それぞれとても赤道に近い国ですね。
そして、日本は何位でしょうか？

日本は、48位でした。
182位、1番雨が少ない国はエジプトでした。

中東の地域は雨がとても少ないようですね。
砂漠の地域が多いことからも、わかりますね。

日本は6月ごろに梅雨つゆ、という雨がたくさん降る時期があります。今この8.9月は台風があります。その影響で強い雨がよく降ります。冬は雨というより雪になることも多いです。

雨が多い国ではどうやってすごしているんですかね。
ちょっと気になりました。

もし、雨よく降るよ！という国の方がいましたら、ぜひレッスンで話をしましょう！いや、私の国は全く降らないよ！という方もぜひ！話したいです。


ということで、今回は世界の雨が降る国と日本の雨について話しました。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！
