みなさんこんにちは、みほです。いかがお過(す)ごしでしょうか。私のポッドキャスト「Mihongo Nihongo」へようこそ。このポッドキャストでは、私が短いエピソードを話します。内容(ないよう)についての質問をいくつか用意(ようい)しているので、音声(おんせい)を聞きながら質問の答えを考えてくださいね。

今日のエピソードは、「インフルエンザ」です。質問は3つです。
①私は今までに何回インフルエンザになったことがありますか？
②私の夫が熱(ねつ)を出したのはいつですか？
③私が難(むずか)しいと思うことはなんですか？

みなさん、準備(じゅんび)はいいですか？では始めましょう！


みなさんはインフルエンザになったことはありますか。私はあります。初めての時は10年以上前、2回目は今年の2月でした。2月のとある月曜日、朝から息子(むすこ)が熱を出しました。インフルエンザでした。水曜日の朝、私も少し体調(たいちょう)が悪くなって、夕方(ゆうがた)から熱が出ました。日曜日の夕方、今度(こんど)は夫(おっと)が熱を出しました。家族(かぞく)全員(ぜんいん)インフルエンザになってしまいました。子供がいる家庭(かてい)で、病気に感染(かんせん)しないようにするのは、本当に難しいなと思いました。


ではもう一度質問を確認(かくにん)しましょう。
①私は今までに何回インフルエンザになったことがありますか？
②私の夫が熱(ねつ)を出したのはいつですか？
③私が難(むずか)しいと思うことはなんですか？


答えです。
①私は今までに２回インフルエンザになったことがあります。
②私の夫が熱(ねつ)を出したのは日曜日の夕方です。
③私が難(むずか)しいと思うことは、子供がいる家庭(かてい)で、病気に感染(かんせん)しないようにすることです。

みなさんどうでしたか？答えられましたか？
それでは今日のポッドキャストはここまで。最後(さいご)まで聞いてくれてありがとうございました。また次回のポッドキャストでお会いしましょう！
またね〜！

JENNIFER: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the

GABRIELA: Yeah, I thought so too. That’s what I read online
this morning.

JENNIFER: I guess the wind chill is really driving down
the temperature.

GABRIELA: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to
go numb.

My English grammar is poor - how to improve that? Episode 399

Why learners think their grammar is poor:

1 .Comparison with Native Speakers
2. Fear of Judgment
3. Perfectionism
4. Focus on Mistakes
5. Cultural Differences
6. Lack of Confidence
7. Unrealistic Expectations
8. Overly Focused on Formal Grammar

Which one are you? Did you even know that ALL students do it and you are not alone in it? :)

How to correct the thinking pattern:

Reframe the Belief: Instead of “My grammar is poor,” rephrase it to something more constructive, such as: “My grammar is still developing,” “I’m making progress in my English,” or “I’m learning new grammar every day.” This shift in mindset is crucial.

Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Celebrate small victories. Notice your improvements, no matter how subtle. Track your progress.

Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: View mistakes as opportunities for growth. Don’t dwell on errors; instead, learn from them and move on. This is a key part of the language learning process.

Compare Yourself to Your Past Self, Not Native Speakers: Focus on your own improvement, recognizing that language acquisition takes time and dedication. Celebrate your progress.

Build Confidence: Engage in activities where you can feel successful. This might involve writing, speaking, or simply listening to English. Focus on the positive aspects of your ability.

Focus on Communication, Not Just Accuracy: The most important thing is to communicate effectively, even if your grammar isn’t perfect. Emphasis should be on understanding and being understood.
