Hosting alone this week, Brent explains the origins and typical usage of the phrase OFF THE HOOK.

Brentoni's English Podcast

041 - off the hook

An anecdote is a quick story about something of interest, usually with a singular theme or lesson. Anecdotes are no different than the stories told among friends, but when they’re used in literature, they can accomplish more than merely passing the time. 


Types of Anecdotes: 
Although there is no formal grouping, anecdotes tend to fall into the categories of 
cautionary, 
characterizing, 
humorous, 
inspirational, 
reminiscent. 

However, these are not mutually exclusive and can be blended together

Dusty's LETS TALK!

What Is an Anecdote, and How Do You Write One?

In today’s episode, I wanted to speak to your heart—and your senses.

I want to encourage you to engage all five of your senses in your language learning journey. You see, language doesn’t just live in your brain—it dances through your fingertips, your eyes, your ears, even your nose and tastebuds. That’s right. When you involve multiple senses, you’re actually building stronger, deeper neural pathways that help memory stick.

Science tells us this works. Multisensory learning, especially when involving touch and movement, boosts retention and comprehension. When you touch flashcards, hear new words aloud, write them out by hand, or associate a scent or taste with a new phrase—you’re telling your brain, “This matters.”

And it does matter. You matter. Your learning journey is sacred.

So today, I reminded you to slow down, to savor the process. Whether it’s the sound of a foreign lullaby or the warmth of a dish from another culture, let your senses be your gentle guides. Let your whole body learn. And remember—there’s no right way to do it. There’s only your way, done with intention, done with love.

Until next time, I’m here cheering for you, every step and every sense of the way. 🌿

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
未をやります！　

音読み　み
訓読み　いまーだ　送り仮名は、だ

意味は、まだ、いまだに〜しない、とかです。

例えば、

・未成年ーみせいねん　成年じゃない

・未来ーみらい　まだ来ていない時

・未完成ーみかんせい　まだ完成していないこと

・未明ーみめい　ニュースなどでは、0時〜3時のこと

・未遂ーみすい　計画がとげられていないこと

こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・未成年はお酒も飲めないし、タバコも吸えません

・未来のことを考えるとワクワクする

・人は未完成であることが楽しいと思います

・11/21未明のできごとでした

・その男は殺人未遂で逮捕されました


こんな感じです。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
