***********************************
今日は暖かくて天気が良かったので、梅の花を見に行ってきました。
ここ長野では、まだ桜は咲いていなくて、今は梅の花が満開なんです。

梅の花は桜と似ていてピンク色の花を咲かせますが、でも桜よりちょっと小さくて、丸くて、おとなしい感じがします。

風が吹くと、梅の花のなんだか清々しくて少し甘い、とてもいい香りがしました。
ミツバチたちがブンブンと元気いっぱいに花の周りを飛ぶ音も聞こえました。

体中で春をいっぱいに感じて、とても気持ちが良かったです。

 
梅の花は寒い冬の間、ずっと我慢してがんばってきたからこそ、春になって、やっときれいな花を咲かせていい香りを出すことができると昔から言われています。

つまり、難しいことがあっても、がんばり続ければ必ずいい結果になる、ということですね！

日本では多くの会社や学校で、4月から新しい一年が始まります。
私たちもすてきな花を咲かせられるように、がんばりましょうね！

SERBIAN TO GO

5 НАЧИНА да кажеш – I like… на српском – 5 WAYS to say - I like… in Serbian (A1-А2)

In this week’s episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, the show that helps global professionals speak clearly and confidently at work, host Curtis Davies welcomes two innovative creators who are transforming how we think about learning, collaboration, and communication.

Joining the show are Maryam Shoja and old high school buddy Matt Gardner, the founding partners behind Mod Hob Cooperative & PlotWeaver: Cards of Creation — a creator-led producers’ cooperative building practical, regenerative systems for learning, collaboration, and community resilience.

Mod Hob (short for Modern Hobbies) brings together educators, designers, technologists, and artists to design systems that replace extractive work with cooperative intelligence — treating people as co-creators rather than users, customers, or resources.

In this conversation, we explore their philosophy, their design process, and how their collaborative storytelling system helps individuals and teams think more clearly, communicate with empathy, and create shared meaning.

Maryam is a Learning Systems Designer, educator, strategist, and English Language coach with 16+ years of experience designing inclusive and neurodivergent-friendly learning environments. Matt went to high school with Curtis & is a user-centered product design strategist, UX researcher, and systems thinker with 20+ years of experience helping cross-functional teams turn complexity into clarity.

Together, they are building tools that make systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and creative collaboration accessible to everyday people — from classrooms to corporate teams.

This episode is especially powerful for educators, leaders, language learners, and global professionals who rely on English to collaborate, present ideas, and build strong relationships at work.

TRANSCRIPT:
Sunt studentă anul 4 la facultatea de medicină generală ,, Carol Davila” din București. În primii trei ani de facultate aveam două semestre și la finalul fiecărui semestru era o perioadă de 4 săptămâni pe care noi o numim sesiune. În aceste 4 săptămâni dădeam aproximativ 8 examene. Acum, fiind anul 4 avem sistem modular: adică anul universitar este împărțit în mai multe stagii, iar examenele se dau la finalul fiecărui stagiu.
Acum sunt în timpul stagiului de cardiologie: învățăm despre bolile inimii. Îmi place, dar mi se pare și un stagiu greu. Avem foarte mult de învățat, dar este interesant. Ce facem noi ca studenți la acest stagiu? Facem și interpretăm EKG-uri, stăm de vorbă cu pacienții, îi consultăm, asistăm la ecografii cardiace și discutăm cu medicul specialist și cu rezidenții săi despre diverse afecțiuni. Ieri un pacient care aștepta să fie consultat și-a pierdut cunoștința pe hol și a primit șoc electric. Nu am mai văzut până ieri cum se dă șocul electric în urgență. Mi-a plăcut.
