How to use slang はねる!  (To bounce)

みなさん、こんにちは！
日本語講師のAikoです。お元気ですか？私はとっても元気です！

私は今、日本にいます。私の故郷は長野県なので、長野の実家に滞在しています。
来年の１月にまたバリ島に戻る予定です。

今日は、今、Nintendo Switch でプレイしているゲーム「ゼルダの伝説 / The Legend of Zelda」の話をしたいと思います。
前回のポッドキャストで「ゼルダの伝説 ブレス・オブ・ザ・ワイルド」をプレイしていると話しました。

「ゼルダの伝説 ブレス・オブ・ザ・ワイルド」は、タイトルが長いので、日本語では「ブレワイ(Burewai)」と呼ばれています。

私は先週「ブレワイ」をクリアしました。そして、今週から「ゼルダの伝説」の一番新しいシリーズ「ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・キングダム」を始めました。「ティアーズ・オブ・ザ・キングダム」というタイトルも長いので、日本語では「ティアキン(Tiakin)」と呼ばれています。

The Zen philosophy teaches us to approach each task with mindfulness and enthusiasm. Language learning isn’t just about mastering grammar or vocabulary; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, sounds, and rhythms of a new world. Start with curiosity and joy.

Why Passion Matters
Studies in motivation psychology reveal that intrinsic interest—the joy of learning for its own sake—leads to better retention and long-term success (Deci & Ryan, 1985). To channel this:
•	Choose a focus that excites you: Is it the music, the cuisine, or the stories of the language’s culture? Let your interests guide your learning.
•	Set a theme for the month: Dedicate January to learning words and phrases around a specific theme, like food or travel.

One of the common goals for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s is to "get on the property ladder."

The idea is that when you buy your first home you're taking your first step on that ladder. In time, you may be able to climb higher by selling your property and buying a bigger or better one.

But taking that first step can be difficult — and scary. So what do you need to know before you go from renting or living with family to becoming a homeowner?

Writing for CNBC, real estate reporter Celia Fernandez shared a number of things she wished she'd done before buying her first home.

One thing she mentioned was making sure she had all the necessary paperwork in one place so she could easily show it to banks or lenders. This is good advice for anyone buying a property — you'll probably need to share things like your payslips, bank records and tax returns several times!

Fernandez also advises people to look for "free money." Your country or region may have grants or other programs to help home buyers. Look out for things like tax breaks for first-time home buyers, or grants for refurbishing older homes.

She also suggests asking for financial help from family members. "My biggest regret is not talking to our loved ones right at the beginning of our search," she said.

Of course, not everyone will have this option. But some parents may want to give money to their children during their lives rather than waiting to pass it on as an inheritance, for example.

Finally, Fernandez says it's important to take into account the costs of closing a sale. That might include taxes, legal fees, inspection fees or fees for a real estate agent — and don't forget that you may also have initial refurbishment costs.

You don't want an expensive surprise just as you get your first home!
