"不行" (bù xíng) is a more casual and colloquial expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not feasible or practical. It can be translated as "can't" or "won't work."
"不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is a more formal and polite expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not allowed according to rules or regulations. It can be translated as "cannot" or "not allowed."
Here are some examples that illustrate the difference between "不行" (bù xíng) and "不可以" (bù kě yǐ):
Example 1:
A: 你能给我五块钱吗？ (nǐ néng gěi wǒ wǔ kuài qián ma?) (Can you give me five dollars?)
B: 不行，我没有五块钱。 (bù xíng, wǒ méi yǒu wǔ kuài qián) (No, I don't have five dollars.)
B: 不可以，这是违反公司规定的。 (bù kě yǐ, zhè shì wéi fǎn gōng sī guī dìng de) (No, it is against company rules.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the person does not have the requested amount of money. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that giving the money is against company rules.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the person simply does not have the requested amount of money, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is a rule or regulation that prevents the person from giving the money.

Example 2:
A: 你能把这个盒子放在桌子上吗？ (nǐ néng bǎ zhè gè hé zǐ fàng zài zhuō zi shàng ma?) (Can you put this box on the table?)
B: 不行，它太大了。 (bù xíng, tā tài dà le) (No, it is too big.)
B: 不可以，桌子上没有足够的空间。 (bù kě yǐ, zhuō zi shàng méi yǒu zú gòu de kōng jiān) (No, there is not enough space on the table.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the box is too large to fit on the table. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that there is not enough space on the table.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the box is too large to fit on the table, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is not enough space on the table.

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?

In the last episode we talked about how to book a hotel in Chinese and everything about it. If you are planning to live in China for a longer time then you will face another challenge: renting a place of your own. In this episode, we covered everything from ‘how to describe the apartment you want’ to ‘different ways to find an available home’. Let’s go!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

うれしいことに、僕のレッスンを受けてくれる方が増えてきました。ありがとうございます！

僕のitalkiのプロフィールで、今まで1,000回以上のレッスンと、200人以上の方と話していることがわかるので、それで増えてきたのかもしれません。もちろん、このPodcastを聞いてレッスンを予約してくれた方もいます。

本当にありがとうございます！

僕のレッスンをいろんな使い方をする人がいます。それはとても良いことだと思います。

本を一緒に読んだり、ニュースを一緒に読んだり、日常会話を楽しんだりします。自分にルーティンを作るために僕のレッスンを予約する人もいます。自分1人で勉強するのは大変ですね。

僕も英語を勉強していますが、自分だけで勉強していると続けるのはむずかしいです。でも、conversation、ネイティブの人と話す時間があると、うまく話せたり、うまく話せなかったりするので、それでまたがんばろう！という気持ちになりますね。それはとても大切なことです。

つづけると必ずうまく話せるようになります。

僕もitalkiで英語のレッスンを受けています。1年以上続けています。1年前よりも確実に上達していると感じます。聞き取ることができるし、考えたことを英語で話せることが増えました。英語の先生からも良くなっていると言われます。

それはとても自信になります。

うまくいかない時もありますが、その時はよく考えますね。
文法を勉強するか、発音を勉強するか、語彙ごいを勉強するか。考えて、また勉強して、また話します。

そうやって少しずつ良くなります。

みなさんの日本語も同じように、少しずつ良くなります。
時間がかかります。あせらずに続けましょう！

話したい！と思った方は、ぜひitalkiでお話しましょう！お待ちしていますね。

今回も最後まで聞いていただきありがとうございます！
ではまた！
