As a general rule we spend time on continuous verbs. For instance, "I like to spend time improving my English". We can also devote time to things, commit time to things, set aside time for things, and earmark time for things.

みなさん、こんにちは。

5月8日は母の日でしたね。みなさんはお母さんに何かプレゼントをしましたか。
私は、私のお母さんと旦那（だんな）さん（主人・しゅじん））のお母さんにお花をプレゼントしました。母の日のお花はカーネーションが多いですね。きれいに飾（かざ）っているお花は安（やす）くても3000円ぐらいします。でもとてもきれいです。旦那さんのお母さんは、5月8日に私たちの家に遊びに来てくれたので、そのとき渡しました。一緒にケーキも食べましたよ。
私のお母さんには、お花を送りました。喜んでくれたみたいです。
私もお母さんです。子供が二人います。上の子は高校2年生の男の子です。毎日、勉強に追（お）われて大変そうです。下の子は、小学3年生の女の子です。ピアノを一生懸命（いっしょうけんめい）頑張（がんば）っているんですよ。で、母の日、きっと何ももらえないなと思ったので、自分でお花を買いました。
でも、500円のお花です。そして、息子に自分の買って来たお花を見せて「ありがとう。きれいだね」と言いました。息子は、「わかったよ。お金払うよ」と言って、お金を出そうとしてくれました。でも、私は「いいよ、その気持ちだけで」と言ってお金は受け取りませんでした。娘もお花を見ながら、その日は、たくさんお手伝いをしてくれました。
みなさんの母の日は、どんな日でしたか。

Can learning a language give you an alternative perspective on life? We discuss this with our expert in linguistic relativity Guillaume Thierry.

The Age of Humans

Episode 1: Does learning a new language change your perception?

A black sports car steadily drives down a highway towards a shipping dock somewhere on the coast of Morocco. Inside, five fruits are silent, quietly going over the plan in each of their minds. In the passenger seat is a reddening aged triangle apple named Johannesburg. His hands are stiff, the sign of an experienced carpenter, and his eyes are tired, the sign of 

“I hope this works,” says the driver, a fresh pear. “It’s our last chance to save grandma.”

Johannesburg, who had his attention fixed on the twinkling moonlight, sniffs and rubs his nose. “Trust in the plan, Pear.”

“What if the ship is empty and we risk our lives for nothing?” exclaims Pear.

A voice from the back seat speaks up. “ I trust my source like I trust my own mother.”

“No one doubts you, Grape,” says Johannesburg. “Pear is nervous—that’s all.”

It was six months ago when Johannesburg received a call from Japan. It was Pear, his brother-in-law, informing him that their grandmother, a sweet and kind raisin, had contracted an unknown virus. The aged apple tried not to panic, but became haunted by the news. A few weeks later, his worst nightmare came true. Their dear raisin grandmother had been diagnosed with the corona virus and had been reacting severely to it. It was from then on that Johannesburg started experiencing sleep difficulties: waking up screaming, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. He also stopped eating, unable to stomach anything but dry, plain oats.

Feeling hopeless, Johannesburg had practically given up, surrendering to his sleepless nights, stomach knots and growing depression. Then, late one night, he received a call from Grape, his long-time friend. A trusted source had informed him that a large shipment of gold was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time at Port Morocco. Grape proposed a four-man robbery, saying they could split the gold equally amongst the associates.
