Today I am going to introduce Japanese idiomatic expressions using "口（くち/mouth）”.
Do you know the meaning of "口（くち）をきく”？　This is a question of JLPT N2.
There are a lot of words using "口（くち/ mouth）”　I think they are interesting.
I hope you enjoy Japanese words! Thank you!

JLPTの言語知識を問う問題に、「言葉の使い方として最もよいものを一つ選びなさい」というのがあります。
先日、生徒さんとN２の問題をしていたときに、
「口をきく」ということばがでてきました。
彼が選んだのは　「彼は味のことについては口をきいている」でした。
じつは、これはまちがいです。この文は「口うるさい」が合っていますね。　
正解の文は「主人と初めて口をきいたのは電車の中だった。」です。つまり、この「口をきく」は、「話をする」という意味で使われています。
「口」がつくことばは、ほかにもたくさんあります。
口がうまい　彼は口がうまいので、ついのせられてしまった。
口が重い　　父はその話になると口が重くなる。
口が堅い　　彼女は口が堅いので信用できる。
口が軽い　　彼は口が軽いから、大事なことは言わないほうがいいよ。
口が滑る　　うっかり口が滑って、彼女を怒らせてしまった。
口が悪い　　彼は口が悪いが、本当はいい人ですよ。
口げんかする　気が付いたらいつも妻と口げんかしている。
口コミ　　　　どのレストランにするかは、口コミを見てから決めることにしている。
口に合う　　　初めて食べたけど、このスープは口に合います。
口にする　　　体重チェックがあるので、朝から何も口にしていない。
口を出す　　　よその家のことに口を出すのはよくない。
口ぐせ　　　　　彼は一日に何度も「よし！」と言っている。きっと口ぐせなんだろう。
「口」が付く表現だけでなく、「足」「手」「鼻」など体の一部を使った表現はたくさんあります。　意味を知ると結構　おもしろいと思うので、興味がある人は　ぜひ　調べてみてくださいね。

get used to = get accustomed to (get adapted)
be used to = be accustomed to (to be adapted to something)

Nit-Picky English with Nika 

Use (verb & noun,) Usage, Utilize, Get/Be Used To - What's the difference? 



Align with Job Description: Questions should target specific competencies identified in the job description.
Use Action Verbs: Focus on actions taken (e.g., "developed," "implemented," "negotiated").
Focus on Specific Situations: Prompt for concrete examples, avoiding vague inquiries like "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure." Instead, ask, "Describe a situation where a tight deadline required prioritizing tasks effectively."
The STAR Method:

The STAR method provides a framework for candidates to structure their responses to behavioral questions:

Situation: Briefly describe the context and challenges faced.
Task: Explain your specific role and responsibilities in the situation.
Action: Detail the specific actions you took to address the challenge.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions, quantifying achievements if possible.
Beyond Technical Skills:

Behavioral interviewing goes beyond technical skills, offering insights into:

Problem-Solving Approach: Explore how the candidate tackled challenges, revealing their thought process and analytical abilities.

Communication Style: Pay attention to clarity, conciseness, and ability to articulate ideas effectively.
Work Style: Understand if the candidate thrives in independent or collaborative environments.
Benefits and Best Practices:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more holistic picture of the candidate's capabilities.

Best practices:

Develop a set of behavioral questions for each role to ensure consistency.

Pay close attention to the candidate's use of the STAR method and probe for further details.

Evaluate responses across candidates using a consistent scoring rubric.
