In this episode, (B2-C2), we unpack the hidden dangers of perfectionism in language learning. While striving for accuracy can be helpful, an obsession with getting everything "just right" often leads to anxiety, procrastination, and slow progress. I explore how perfectionist habits can hold learners back from real-world communication and offer practical strategies to embrace mistakes, take risks, and grow with confidence. Tune in to learn why letting go of perfection is key to truly mastering a new language!

La Jarre abîmée (the damaged jar)  

日本で一番高い山は、富士山です。今は冬なので登れませんが、湖のあるふもとの町には、たくさんの観光客が訪れています。湖ならば、一番大きいのが、みんな大好き、京都の隣にあるじゃないか！と思うのですが、外国人はさほど来ていません。実は私もよく知らない、琵琶（びわ）湖。ハルカちゃんに聞くまで、滋賀県はほとんどびわ湖で、びわ湖しかない、と思ってたんだけど、今回話して、とっても大事な湖だというのが、わかりました。

Ep.59 📝「菓子パン」の歴史🥯💗

Habit stacking in a business context is a behavioral technique for integrating desired routines into existing workflows. It involves pairing a new, target behavior (e.g., reviewing daily sales reports) with an established trigger habit (e.g., checking your inbox each morning). By capitalizing on the automatic nature of existing habits, the cue to perform the target behavior becomes ingrained, increasing its adoption and persistence. Habit stacking can be used to improve individual productivity (e.g., streamlining post-meeting follow-ups) or foster team-level behavioral change (e.g., implementing a daily huddle for information sharing). The effectiveness of this technique hinges on selecting appropriate trigger habits – frequent, consistent actions with minimal cognitive load. Additionally, target habits should be small, achievable actions to ensure successful integration and minimize disruption to existing workflows. Through repetition and positive reinforcement, habit stacking strengthens the association between the trigger and target behavior, ultimately leading to the desired routine becoming an automatic part of the workday.
