Introduction 

Are the French actually stingy, or is there a deeper reason behind their attitude toward tipping? In this episode of Déjà Vu French, we explore the controversial world of tips (les pourboires).

From the historical origins of the word "TIPS" in England to the modern-day pressure of credit card machines in Parisian restaurants, I share my personal perspective as a former waiter and bartender on why the tipping system might be broken.

In this video, you will learn:

French Vocabulary for Dining: Le pourboire (the tip), radin (stingy), le serveur (the waiter), and la note (the bill).

The History of Tipping: Is "To Insure Prompt Service" a real acronym or just a legend?

Tipping Around the World: Why is giving extra money considered rude or impolite in Japan?

A Waiter’s Secret: A personal story about how tipping creates hypocrisy and inequality in customer service.

Do you think tipping is a moral obligation, or should employers simply pay a fair wage? Does not tipping make you "radin"? Let’s discuss in the comments (in French if you can!).

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

前几日我喺得到睇到一个爸爸嘅分享，
佢讲咗自己点样帮自己个女克服一个人训教嘅恐惧。

佢个女细个嗰时都系同爸爸妈妈一齐训嘅，
后来，佢个女大个小小，
佢哋就帮佢个女布置咗一个佢中意嘅房，
有好多公仔，
不过佢训到半夜，
仲系会一醒就过去揾妈妈。

后来，佢觉得呢个唔系办法， 
于是就同佢个女倾下，
佢个女话佢醒咗之后就训唔着，
但系同妈妈或者嫲嫲一齐嗰时，
就可以训着。

跟住佢就分享咗自己细个嗰时嘅方法，
佢同佢个女话，
我细个训唔着嗰时，
就会将张被拱起身，
好似一个山洞咁，
跟住自己同自己讲鲁滨逊嘅古仔，
谂吓鲁滨逊探险嗰时撞到咗乜嘢，
跟住要点样做。

佢建议佢个女用呢个方法，
自己作一个古仔，
氹自己训教。

不过一开始，佢做唔到，
半夜仲系会喺门口喊。

跟住佢就用第二个方法，
鼓励佢，
佢同个女讲，
你宜家已经迈出咗第一步，
你可以自己训着，
而且醒咗之后都冇即可揾妈妈，
而系尝试自己克服不安，
失败咗先去揾妈妈。

下面我哋要再迈一小步，
睇下可唔可以醒咗之后，
自己咪埋眼，
一个人再训着。

其实嗰时佢个女好难过，
因为佢夜晚发咗一个梦，
梦入面有一只好似成年人咁大嘅狗，
佢惊自己一个人训嗰时又会见到呢只大狗。

跟住我就用哈利波特入面，
卢平教授教哈利克服自己惊嘅嘢嘅方法，
令呢个恐怖嘅嘢变得好笑。

跟住我哋就开始想象佢见到嘅嗰只狗，
有一个红色嘅鼻，
带一顶搞笑嘅帽，
着住鲜艳嘅衫，
跟住佢个女觉得呢只狗变成咗一个吉祥物，
佢甚至有啲中意呢只狗。
就咁样，
佢就开心咁同意咗再迈出一步。

后来过咗半个月，
佢哋终于解决佢个女唔敢一个人训教嘅问题啦。

教育小朋友真系一件好需要耐心嘅事，
有时候小朋友会惊，
呢个时候父母唔应该闹佢哋，
或者取笑佢哋，
而系应该耐心咁帮佢克服内心嘅恐惧，
成年人其实都有惊嘅嘢，
更何况系得几岁大嘅小朋友呢。

俾多啲耐心、帮助同引导佢哋，
小朋友肯定可以克服成长路上嘅困难嘅。

Is college worth the time and money? Americans are increasingly skeptical about the value and cost, according to a new survey.

And most said they feel the US higher education system is moving in the "wrong direction."

Overall, only 36% of adults said they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in higher education, according to a report released by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. That confidence level has declined steadily from 57% in 2015.

Some of the same opinions have been reflected in declining enrollment numbers as colleges contend with the effects of the student debt crisis, concerns about the high cost of tuition and political debates over how they teach about race and other topics.

"It's so expensive, and I don't think colleges are teaching people what they need to get a job," said Randy Hill, a 59-year-old driver from Connecticut.

He added: "You graduate out of college, you're up to [your] eyeballs in debt, you can't get a job, then you can't pay it off. What's the point?"

The June 2024 survey's overall finding — that 36% of adults feel strong confidence in higher education — is the same as the year before.

But what concerns researchers is that more Americans — 32% — said they have "very little" or no confidence in higher education.

Experts say that fewer college graduates could lead to labor shortages in fields from health care to information technology.

For those who choose not to go to college, it often means lower lifetime earnings — 75% less compared with those who get bachelor's degrees, according to Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. And during an economic downturn, those without degrees are more likely to lose jobs.

However, others still see the value in higher education. College student Kristen Freeman from California told The Associated Press: "I think higher education can give students the spark to want to change the system."

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。

今日はN2です！
今日は、からといって、をやります！

たとえーだとしても、というような意味で、あとには、ーとは限らない、とかーわけではない、など否定の表現が続きます。


ということで、例文いきましょう！


・海外に住んだからといって、英語が話せるとは限らない。

・日本人だからといって、日本語が教えられるとは限らない。

・運転になれているからといって、事故らないとは限らない。

・好きな会社に入ったからといって、うまくいくとは限らない。

・ N1だからといって、ペラペラに話せるとは限らない。

という感じです。
どうでしょうか。


大人だからといって、なんでもできるわけではないですね。
5年日本語を勉強しているからといって、簡単にはなせるわけではありません。

毎日勉強するのは大変ですが、少しずつだけでもPodcastを聞いたり、言葉に出したりして日本語を覚えていきましょう！

ぼくのオンラインレッスンでは、いろんな形でレッスンができます。日常会話だけでもいいですし、ニュースを読んだり、ネットの記事を読んだりすることもできます。

もし、日本語をもっと話せるようになりたい！と思ってる人は、ぜひぼくとお話しましょう！

お待ちしていますね！


ということで、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！
