The Greetings are the first conversation between two people.
Los saludos son la primera conversación entre dos personas:
We have two ways of making salutations: Formal and Informal.
Tenemos dos formas de hacer saludos: Formal e Informal.
The formal way is used when you meet new people, talk with the oldest person, or converse politely.
Here, we have an example of Greeting:
Good morning Mr. Rodriguez. (in Spanish you say)
Buenos días, señor. Rodriguez.
You start the conversation with: Buenos días (at the morning), Buenas tardes (in the Afternoon) and Buenas noches (at the evening or night)
After that, you need to put the profession or etiquette to show respect to men and women
(Mister = señor, Mistress = Señora, and  Miss = señorita)
(don’t forget to add the surname or First name) like this example: 
Señor. Rodriguez or Profesor. Rodriguez 
The second part of the conversation is making information about the person, situation or what do you want to know?
For example:
¿Cómo te sientes hoy?: How do you feel today?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Cómo estás? =How are you?
¿Qué estás haciendo? = What are you doing?
¿Como esta el trabajo? How is work?
¿Cómo va todo? = How is everything?
You can include more dialog to keep going the conversation.
And, the third part is the farewell or despedida. 
For example:
Adiós = bye
Hasta luego = See you later
Nos vemos pronto = See you soon
Hasta la vista = See you around
Chao = bye
Te veo luego = See you later
Que te vaya bien = Good luck
The informal way is used when you know well the people for example a friend, partner, brother or coworker.
Epale! = Hey
¿Que mas? = What´s up?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Qué hay de Nuevo? = What´s new?
Hola, ¿Cómo va todo? =  Hi, How is everything?
This part of the dialog can be more flexible according to the country, age, and social group.

Lesson 1: Build a Study Habit as Solid as the Titanic’s Hull
The Titanic’s hull was state-of-the-art, yet it wasn’t indestructible. Similarly, your study habits need to be strong, but they don’t have to be perfect. Start small—just like the shipbuilders who started with a blueprint. Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to learning your language. Research shows that consistent practice, even in small increments, leads to long-term success.
Your daily routine is your hull. If it’s solid, you’ll keep floating, even when you hit minor obstacles.
________________________________________
Lesson 2: Spot the Icebergs Before They Hit
The Titanic didn’t see the iceberg until it was too late. When it comes to studying, your "icebergs" are distractions, unrealistic expectations, and burnout. Be mindful of these obstacles before they derail you. Set realistic goals, like learning five new words a day instead of fifty.
Think of distractions like incoming icebergs on the horizon—acknowledge them, steer clear, and keep your focus steady.
________________________________________
Lesson 3: Lifeboats Are Non-Negotiable
The Titanic’s lack of lifeboats was its greatest tragedy. In language learning, lifeboats represent backup plans for when life gets overwhelming. Too tired to study grammar? Watch a short video in your target language instead. Feeling stuck on vocabulary? Try a language game instead of a workbook.
Lifeboats are your Plan B—your way to keep moving forward even when your primary routine is disrupted.

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！
処をやります！　

音読み　しょ
訓読み　ところ、おーく

意味は、決める、場所、ところ、とかそんな感じです。

例えば、

・処分ーしょぶん　ルールを決めて、判断すること

・処理ーしょり　書類、手続きなど決まったとおりに終わらせること

・対処ーたいしょ　問題にあわせた正しいことをすること

・処罰ーしょばつ　罰を与えること

・処世ーしょせい　世の中、社会をうまく生きること


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！

・この服はもう何年も着てないから処分しよう。

・今日は事務処理が終われば帰れます。

・彼はトラブルに対して、いつも正しい方法で対処します。

・スピード違反で、罰金の処罰を受けた。

・彼は処世術に長けている。


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！
