分享看剧感受！
朋友们你们好！今天的零食叫做“星期三”。我们来一起边吃边学吧！ 
 ”星期三“是一个女孩的名字。这个小女孩平时全身只穿黑色衣服。而她的表情总是给出一个难以与人相处的印象。她很喜欢侦探推理和那些古怪的东西。

 首先要说的是，我真的被“星期三”的性格吸引了。她活在自己的世界里，不在乎任何人的评价，只有我可以定义自己。这个女孩不仅个性特殊还很有想法，是不是？

说实话，作为一个敏感过度在意他人感受的我，其实是非常累的，所以真的对“星期三”着迷。尤其看到她跳舞那段。看上去有那种舞池中我是主角，欢迎来到我世界的感觉。特别有风格！ 
 然后也不能不提到另外一个很有趣的人物。一直陪着“星期三”是一个叫“小东西”。我十分喜欢“小东西”！那只手是我本剧最爱的设定。你们说，谁不想拥有一只骄傲敏感无所不能的小挂件呢？ 
 “星期三” 这部悬疑的美剧，你看了吗？你喜欢的是什么人物呢？快来告诉我吧！

📘 오늘의 일기

오늘은 아침에 일찍 일어났습니다. 일어나서 따뜻한 차를 마셨습니다. 기분이 아주 좋았습니다.
그다음에 집 근처 공원을 걸었습니다. 날씨가 조금 추웠지만 하늘이 맑아서 좋았습니다.

점심에는 친구를 만났습니다. 친구와 같이 한국 음식을 먹었습니다. 저는 비빔밥을 먹었고 친구는 김치찌개를 먹었습니다. 음식이 아주 맛있었습니다.

저녁에는 집에서 한국어를 공부했습니다. 새로운 단어를 외우고 짧은 문장을 연습했습니다. 공부는 조금 어려웠지만 재미있었습니다.
오늘 하루는 조용하고 행복한 날이었습니다.

오늘의 일기

Episode 16 | Poisson d'Avril J’aimerais te parler du 1er Avril en France, c’est le jour des blagues et des farces en tous genres. La presse s’en donne à coeur-joie et les canulars fleurissent partout sur internet ce jour-là. Et prenez garde de ne pas vous présenter à une réunion importante avec un petit poisson en papier collé dans le dos. Voici l'histoire du Poisson d'Avril qu'on a imaginé avec mon chef il y a quelques années. Et toi as-tu déjà fait une blague à quelqu'un ?

Episode 16 : Poisson d'Avril

In today’s episode, I wanted to speak to your heart—and your senses.

I want to encourage you to engage all five of your senses in your language learning journey. You see, language doesn’t just live in your brain—it dances through your fingertips, your eyes, your ears, even your nose and tastebuds. That’s right. When you involve multiple senses, you’re actually building stronger, deeper neural pathways that help memory stick.

Science tells us this works. Multisensory learning, especially when involving touch and movement, boosts retention and comprehension. When you touch flashcards, hear new words aloud, write them out by hand, or associate a scent or taste with a new phrase—you’re telling your brain, “This matters.”

And it does matter. You matter. Your learning journey is sacred.

So today, I reminded you to slow down, to savor the process. Whether it’s the sound of a foreign lullaby or the warmth of a dish from another culture, let your senses be your gentle guides. Let your whole body learn. And remember—there’s no right way to do it. There’s only your way, done with intention, done with love.

Until next time, I’m here cheering for you, every step and every sense of the way. 🌿
