영희의 일기

월요일
오늘은 학교에 갔어요. 아침에 일어나서 세수를 하고 밥을 먹었어요. 그리고 가방을 챙기고 학교에 갔어요. 친구들과 인사하고 교실에 들어갔어요.

첫 번째 수업은 한국어였어요. 선생님이 글자를 읽고 따라 하라고 했어요. 나는 천천히 읽고 선생님 말씀을 잘 들었어요. 친구들도 열심히 공부했어요.

점심시간이 되었어요. 친구들과 같이 밥을 먹고 이야기를 했어요. 나는 김밥과 과일을 먹었어요. 너무 맛있었어요.

오후에는 미술 수업이 있었어요. 그림을 그리고 색칠을 했어요. 나는 나무와 하늘을 그렸어요. 예쁘게 잘 그려서 기분이 좋았어요.

학교가 끝나고 집에 갔어요. 숙제를 하고 저녁을 먹었어요. 오늘 하루가 재미있었어요.

Yeonghee’s Diary
Monday
Today, I went to school. In the morning, I woke up, washed my face, and ate breakfast. Then, I packed my bag and went to school. I greeted my friends and entered the classroom.

The first class was Korean. The teacher read the letters and told us to follow along. I read slowly and listened carefully to the teacher. My friends also studied hard.

During lunchtime, I ate with my friends and talked with them. I ate kimbap and fruit. It was very delicious.

In the afternoon, I had an art class. I drew pictures and colored them. I drew a tree and the sky. I felt happy because I drew them beautifully.

After school, I went home. I did my homework and ate dinner. Today was a fun day. 😊

〈#56〉5月12日木曜日　長いもの植えつけ始まる

Are the French actually stingy, or is there a deeper reason behind their attitude toward tipping? In this episode of Déjà Vu French, we explore the controversial world of tips (les pourboires).

From the historical origins of the word "TIPS" in England to the modern-day pressure of credit card machines in Parisian restaurants, I share my personal perspective as a former waiter and bartender on why the tipping system might be broken.

In this video, you will learn:

French Vocabulary for Dining: Le pourboire (the tip), radin (stingy), le serveur (the waiter), and la note (the bill).

The History of Tipping: Is "To Insure Prompt Service" a real acronym or just a legend?

Tipping Around the World: Why is giving extra money considered rude or impolite in Japan?

A Waiter’s Secret: A personal story about how tipping creates hypocrisy and inequality in customer service.

Boost Your French Fluency:
This video is designed for intermediate and advanced learners. By listening to this unscripted, natural conversation, you’ll improve your oral comprehension and pick up authentic French idioms used in real-life debates.

💬 Join the Debate:
Do you think tipping is a moral obligation, or should employers simply pay a fair wage? Does not tipping make you "radin"? Let’s discuss in the comments (in French if you can!).

Nowadays, conference calls are the norm. Whether your team members live within a 30-minute radius of one another or live on different continents, you’ll likely conduct all meetings over conference calls. 

By now, you know some of the perils of conference calls. Someone forgets to mute themselves, and you hear them breathing or eating their lunch, someone forgets to unmute themselves when they start talking, someone is talking, and then their kid or spouse barges in their office making noise. No matter what unusual situation unfolds during a conference call, someone has to manage the conversation and make it as effective as possible. 

In this episode, you will learn how to lead conference calls. We’ll focus on audio conference calls, not video conference calls, which deserve their own episode.
