Üdvözöllek a Magyar Világ Csatornán!
A régi időkben az emberek nem mindig mentek el az orvoshoz, ha megfáztak, inkább választottak helyette háziszereket, mint például hagymát, ecetet vagy kamillateát.
Ebben a részben most megtudhatod, hogyan is használták ezeket a szereket a magyarok megfázás esetén. 😉

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.

Top Tips to Keep Your Eyes Healthy When Using Screens

Netflix now has 10 million subscribers in Japan, according to the streaming company.

It got to that number during the first half of 2024, so it may be even higher by now — and it's double the number of subscribers Netflix had in the country four years ago.

It's believed that new Japanese shows on the platform — including Tokyo Swindlers, The Queen of Villains and The Boyfriend — have helped the streaming service get more subscribers.

"Japan in particular is a country which wants to see a lot of its own content so we strongly feel the need to produce it," said Kaata Sakamoto, Netflix's vice president of content for Japan.

He added that the company wants to produce more content that will be popular with people in Japan, including more sports and comedy shows.

Subscribers around the world have also been enjoying Japanese content on the platform. It's the third-most-watched non-English-language content on Netflix, after Korean and Spanish. And Japanese anime shows and movies have been watched more than 1 billion times on Netflix in the last year.

Sakamoto said there are plans to make more anime for the platform, but he wants to find "stories that have never been told before."

Netflix first came to Japan in 2015. In 2023, it was the most popular streaming service in the country, with about 22% of the market share.

Around the world, Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers.

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。


みなさんはKindle Unlimitedに入っていますか？
知っている人が多いと思いますが、簡単に説明しますね。

日本だと、200万冊以上の本を月額980円で読むことができるサービスです。

調べてみたんですが、現在サービスを展開している国は、アメリカ、イギリス、ドイツ、フランス、イタリア、スペイン、ブラジル、メキシコ、カナダ、インド、中国、だそうです。

ぼくももちろん入っていて、たくさんは読みませんが、今知りたいことに関する本は読むことがあります。



それで、今日は1つお知らせがあります。
実は、Kindleで日本語学習のための本を出しました！
簡単な本です。

日本語で良く使う名詞を50コ、ピックアップしました。
その名詞を使った例文を10コずつ載せた本です。

アルファベットでふりがなをつけましたので、日本語をまだ読めない人でも、少し読みやすいと思います。

英語の訳もつけました。日本語の意味を確認しながら、勉強することができます。

この本はKindleで買うことができますが、実はunlimitedなら無料で読むことができます！すごいですよね。本当に便利な時代です。

WEBサイトやYouTubeだと広告が出てきて気が散りますね。ですが、Kindleで読むと当たり前ですが、本の中には広告は出ません。これは学習に集中できるのでとても良いと思います。


今回ははじめて名詞50コの本を作ってみましたので、興味がある人はぜひunlimitedで読んでみてください！名詞のいろんな使い方が分かりますので、声に出しながら読むと記憶に残りやすくなりますよ！

ということで、今回はKindle unlimitedで日本語学習のための本を出しました！という話でした。

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！
