Hello. Today, I will talk a little about the way to say "20 years old" that comes up in the first Chapter of Minna no Nihongo.
At 20 years old, it’s fine to say “にじゅっさい” (nijussai), but there’s also another way to say it: “はたち” (hatachi).　Japanese counters can be challenging to remember, as they are not “いちさい” (ichisai) but rather “いっさい” (issai), and not “しちさい” (shichisai) but “ななさい” (nanasai). Occasionally, there are completely different expressions, like for 20 years old. It can be difficult, but let’s do your best to memorize them.

As for “はたち,” in Lesson 5, the date “20th”  is also expressed as “はつか.” Perhaps ancient Japanese people used the character “は” to mean 20. Connecting these two ideas might make it a bit easier to remember. Keep up the good work!

Now, a little update regarding my course: I have launched a new Minna no Nihongo course. The content is exactly the same, but it can be taken with two people. It’s also possible with three or more, but in that case, the lesson fee will change a little bit.
Of course, just like the regular Minna no Nihongo course, there will be plenty of homework. If anyone would like to take it with a friend, please give it a try!

Alright, everyone, keep studying hard!

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE EL RATÓN PANCHO QUE A VECES PUEDE SER DESPISTADO.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Te consideras una persona despistada?

2. ¿Que es lo mas vergonzoso que te ha ocurrido?


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


Había una vez una casa en la esquina, que tenía las
ventanas verdes. Allí vivía un ratón que se llamaba
Pancho.

Un día salió de su escondite y muy decidido se fue a
cazar gatos.

Cuando llegó al pasillo se escondió detrás de un
mueble grande que tenía muchos cajones y esperó a ver
cuando llegaba el gato.

Estando allí escondido moviendo sus bigotes, se puso
a pensar y dijo: -¡¡Anda, si los ratones no cazan gatos, es
al revés!!

Se asustó mucho.

Y le entró tanto miedo, que salió corriendo hacia su
escondite. Parecía un coche de carreras de lo deprisa que
iba.

Pancho es un ratón de lo más despistado.

Pancho the mouse

My client Sara joined our meeting very stressed out; frustration etched on her face. Her new team floundered, lacking direction and motivation. Public speaking made her uncomfortable and really nervous. It was an area she was struggling in. I saw an opportunity. Habit stacking, I suggested, could be the key. Small, daily wins would build confidence. Each morning, Sara would journal her goals, followed by 10 minutes reading a leadership book. During her commute she would listen to leadership podcasts.

At work, the transformation began. Meetings now started with clear objectives and agendas, setting the stage for practicing engaging techniques – eye contact, vocal variety – we had discussed. Each week, a late evening mimicked future challenges as we roleplayed difficult conversations. Between meetings, personalized notes praising contributions or progress toward goals landed in team members' inboxes.

A month in, the shift was undeniable. Projects progressed  efficiently through completion, and surveys reflected a happier, more motivated team. Motivated by her success, Sara, once terrified of public speaking, volunteered for an industry conference presentation. Daily clear communication, bolstered by these additional habits, had woven a tapestry of leadership. Sara's transformation, fueled by consistent improvement, was a testament to the power of habit stacking.
