[EP099] 早口言葉 | Tongue Twister in Japanese

This little-known prayer was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in one of the roughest periods of his life. 😥It reminded us here at Bright Side about what’s important in life and deeply touched both our minds and souls.🙏

Across the world, millions of people are watching other people play video games on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.

Twitch in particular has become the world's biggest video game streaming platform, with over 240 million people using the site each month, and over 7 million people actively streaming.

Imagine that — a whole business, worth billions of dollars, based on people wanting to watch other people play video games.

But why do people want to do this — instead of just playing the games themselves?

One possible reason is the personality of the players. People enjoy watching how these gamers react and make jokes as they play the games. One study in 2021 found that people like to watch gamers simply because they find their personalities attractive.

They may also be attracted by a player's skill. Some simply find it enjoyable to watch a professional gamer play a difficult video game, while others may hope to learn and improve their own skills by watching.

Another study in 2016 looked at people who watch gamers on Twitch in particular. It found that people watch these gamers not only to learn from them, but also to see what a game is like before they decide whether or not to buy it.

The same study found that people also watched games online because they could interact with other people who liked games, and it gave them a sense of community.

This kind of online community would become especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Twitch's audience grew by about 80%.

However, according to the 2016 study, the biggest reason people like to watch video gamers is simply because they want to relax and forget about their daily life.

Just as there are many different kinds of video games, there are also many different kinds of gamers. And it seems people's reasons for watching these gamers are just as varied.

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#15  熱中症 // N3 Level

La rubrica, questa volta, si ispira a un articolo scritto da chi sa fare il mestiere di giornalista. Ho preso spunto da un messaggio di Jason, un mio amico e studente, che per scrivere “va bene” mi scrive sempre “va beh” con l’acca.
E guarda caso, cosa ho trovato?
Vi invito, questa volta, a fare un largo uso di questa espressione!
E vabbè

My Chinese friend Han and I finally had the chance to sit down for a conversation. He had asked to be on my podcast to share his experience as my student, but with our busy schedules and limited time outside of class, we kept putting it off or rescheduling for the past six months. Finally, we found a mutual time that worked, so here’s the podcast!

I hope this episode speaks to those of you who’ve ever felt stuck learning English, who know the words but struggle to speak, who feel the pressure of exams but don’t feel confident in real conversations. Because learning a language isn’t just about passing tests, it’s about unlocking opportunities, building connections, and having the freedom to express yourself in any situation. If you’ve ever wished for that kind of confidence, this episode is for you!

livello B2/C1: 19 verbi italiani che devi conoscere per parlare come un madrelingua italiano

こんばんは！Atsushiです。

おととい、昨日と旅行に行ってきました。
ということで、今回はその北海道旅行について、話をします。

今回の旅行は妻と2人で計画していました。
冬が来る前に、遠くに行く旅行をしておこう、ということで、北海道でもかなり離れた場所、網走(あばしり)というところへ行きました。

網走は道東(どうとう)エリアと呼ばれています。
北海道の東のエリアですね。
私が住んでいる場所から、350キロぐらいはなれた場所です。車で約5時間かかる場所です。

網走には何があるかというと、網走監獄の博物館があります。1890年から網走には刑務所があります。その歴史が学べる博物館が1983年にできました。今回はそこに行ってきました。刑務所の人たちがどういう生活や労働をしていたかが良くわかる博物館でした。

その後に、流氷の世界を体感できる、オホーツク流氷館というところに行きました。ここでは、マイナス１５℃の部屋で本物の流氷をさわることができます。そして、その中でぬれたタオルを振り回すと、カチコチに凍る、という体験もしてきました。短い時間しかいませんでしたが、寒い、というより、痛い、痛寒い、という感じでした。北海道の冬の朝は、本当に-15℃ぐらいになるときもあるそうです。

ちなみに、北海道では、そんなビックリするぐらい寒い時や、寒くて痛い時には、"しばれる"と言うそうです。方言(ほうげん)ですね。今年の冬はこのしばれるを使いたいと思います。

1日目は、この後、阿寒湖(あかんこ)という湖の方まで移動しました。その近くではじめてAirbnbで予約したところに泊まりました。日本ではまだAirbnbはそんなにメジャーではないので使っている人はまだ少ないと思います。

今回ははじめて、知らない人の家に泊まる、というおもしろい体験をしました。とてもフレンドリーはホストの人たちでした。そこにもう1組泊まっていたのですが、そのうちの1人は、おもしろい共通点がありました。

その人の以前住んでいた場所が、私たちが住んでいた所ととても近かったんです。そして、その人の今住んでいるところは、私の実家のとても近くでした。みんなでこんなことがあるんだ！とビックリした夜でした。

ということで、今回はここまでにします。
次の回で、この旅行の2日目の話をしますね。
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！
