Un detto italiano dice: "Non si può avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca", applicandolo al tema di oggi, è molto difficile avere un salario alto e molto tempo libero. Purtroppo spesso è anche difficile avere del tempo libero pur non avendo un salario alto. Ma in genere, se è vero che il tempo è denaro, più ne vendiamo più si guadagna. Quanto vale la nostra libertà?

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊养生这个话题。养生是什么意思呢？词典说，养生就是摄养身心以长寿。这本来来自于传统中医的概念，如今在中国的年轻人中也是个热词。这是为什么？因为现在城市里的年轻人有很多的娱乐和诱惑，许多人喜欢享受夜生活，吃夜宵，泡酒吧，撸串烧烤等等。中国城市里极大的物质丰富的夜生活，让人目不暇接。

奶茶、汽水，炸鸡，蛋糕。这些美食不仅让人长胖，还会带来很多的健康问题。这些都使很多二三十岁的年轻人的身体状态亮起了红灯。看着出了问题的体检报告，原来大部分问题，都是生活方式的问题。于是，传统中医开始悄悄进入年轻一代的视野。保温杯里泡上枸杞，冬天来点儿红糖姜枣茶，夏天来点儿菊花茶，掉头发吃黑芝麻丸……各种养生小技能让年轻朋友们纷纷效仿。

其实，养生是一个历史悠久的大话题，属于中国传统医学。中医讲究药食同源，很多食物对人身体是有类似药物的作用的。许多食材用来泡水、煮粥、煲汤，各种功效纷繁复杂，但是也非常有意思。比如现在是冬天，如果你感觉身体总是冷，可以多吃热性食物，比如羊肉、生姜和红枣。

好了，感谢你的收听，希望你喜欢。我们下次再见。

013 - Why Language Learners Should Read Haruki Murakami

Кто такой Дед Мороз? 
Дед Мороз - это волшебник в красной или белой шубе с посохом в руке. Он ездит на тройке лошадей и часто приходит со своей внучкой Снегурочкой. Его официальная резиденция находится в Великом Устюге. В ночь с 31 декабря на 1 января Дед Мороз приносит хорошим детям подарки и кладёт их под ёлку. 
Персонаж имеет славянские корни, но тот образ, который у нас есть сейчас, сформировался в советский период в 30-х годах. Тогда же и был создан детский праздник, который называется “ёлка”, где дети в разных костюмах веселятся, водят хоровод, поют новогодние песни, рассказывают стихи Деду Морозу и за это получают конфеты и шоколадки. Детские "ёлки" проходят в декабре в детских садах и школах. 

Всем хороших праздников!

What is more important: Psychology over knowledge. Epsode 392.

It's quite clear on the knowledge part but why psychology and it's importance
for any language learners?!

Today's podcast is only few minutes but it is to give you something to chew on, a birds eye view on a topic.

Psychology plays a crucial role in language learning success, impacting motivation, learning strategies, and overall proficiency. Here’s why:

1. Motivation and Self-Efficacy
2. Learning Strategies and Cognitive Processes
3. Emotional and Social Factors:
4. Error Correction and Feedback:

In summary, integrating psychological principles into language learning enhances motivation, optimizes learning strategies, manages emotional challenges, and ultimately leads to greater proficiency and success. 

It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding the learner’s mind and tailoring the learning process accordingly. Therefore, in my 1-1 training classes I focus on this the majority of the time and I've completed over 20 thousand coaching calls from managers to vice presidents of huge corporations and they tell me - it works!

Come and try for yourself!
