YOIN Anime Reflections – Easy Japanese Podcast

從小到大我碰過的老師大多都很好，今天就想跟大家聊一下其中一個對我最重要的老師，也可以說是我最喜歡的一個老師。也是我感到遺憾，沒有跟他保持聯絡的一個人。

Most of the teachers I have met when growing up are very good. Today I’d like to share with you about one of the teachers who is the most important to me. We can also say he was my favorite teacher. He was also someone that I regret that I did not keep in touch with.

EP6. 我最喜歡的老師 My Favorite Teacher

Yuka has just arrived in Korea and meets Yeonah’s family for the first time.
But something interesting happens.

Instead of using just names, the family introduces themselves through relationships:
“Yeonah’s mom.”
“Yeonah’s dad.”
“Oppa.”
Why do Koreans speak this way?
Why does Yuka call him “Oppa”?

In this episode, we explore:
✨ How Korean family titles really work
✨ The cultural meaning behind relationship-based introductions
✨ The difference between names and relational identity in Korean
✨ A fun K-drama reference moment (Park Seo-joon!)

This episode will help you understand Korean beyond grammar —
you’ll start to see how relationships shape the language itself.

今天我们要聊一个特别有趣的中国节气——立春！
你知道吗？在中国，春天不是从日历开始的，而是从“立春”开始的！立春通常在2月3日到5日之间，是二十四节气里的第一个。
古人怎么庆祝立春呢？他们会穿上漂亮衣服，走上街头，大声喊：“春来了！春来了！”，这叫“报春”。 还有人们抬着一只用泥做的“春牛”游行。游行后，用小棍子把春牛打碎，再把泥土带回家——这叫“打春牛”。他们相信，这样做，今年庄稼就会长得特别好！
立春还有一个超好吃的习俗，叫“咬春”！人们会吃春饼或春卷。把萝卜、豆芽、韭菜、生菜……还有肉丝，统统包进薄薄的饼里，卷起来，咬一大口——又香又脆！好像真的把春天吃进肚子里啦！
立春不仅是春天的开端，更是一个寄托着希望和美好愿望的节气。别忘了在立春这天，和家人一起吃春饼，为新的一年讨个好彩头！
Today, we’re talking about a super fun Chinese solar term—Lichun, or “Start of Spring”!
Did you know? In China, spring doesn’t begin on the calendar—it begins with Lichun!
It usually falls between February 3rd and 5th, and it’s the very first of China’s 24 solar terms.
So how did ancient people celebrate Lichun?
They’d dress in their finest clothes, head out into the streets, and shout joyfully:
“Spring is here! Spring is here!”
This was called “Baochun”—“Announcing Spring”!
They also held parades with a clay ox called the “Spring Ox.” After the parade, people would gently hit the ox with sticks until it broke apart. Then they’d take the clay home with them—a ritual known as “Beating the Spring Ox.”
They believed this would bring a bountiful harvest that year!
And here’s the tastiest part: Lichun comes with a delicious custom called “Biting Spring”!
People eat spring pancakes or spring rolls. They wrap thin pancakes around fresh ingredients like radish, bean sprouts, leeks, lettuce… and even shredded meat, roll them up, and take a big crunchy bite—so fragrant and crisp!
It really feels like you’re eating spring itself!
Lichun isn’t just the start of a new season—it’s a time full of hope, renewal, and good wishes for the year ahead.
So don’t forget: on Lichun, gather your family, share some spring pancakes, and welcome the new year with a lucky bite of spring!

In this episode, we explore how forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) supports your language learning journey. When you immerse yourself in the forest, you breathe in phytoncides released by trees, which reduce cortisol levels and improve focus (Li, 2010). The calming scents of pine, cedar, and cypress enhance your memory and listening skills by reducing stress that blocks retention. Forest bathing in the early morning or late afternoon maximizes the brain’s receptivity, making it the perfect time for vocabulary review, listening practice, or reading aloud. By connecting with nature, you not only nurture your body and mind but also create the mental clarity needed to absorb grammar, vocabulary, and conversation more deeply.
