Montmartre est morte, oui morte ! Il est impossible d'y retrouver l'esprit d'antan. J'ai aujourd'hui invoqué son fantôme. Traversons les rues pour rencontrer Marcel Aymé, Pablo Picasso et Dalida !
Un grand merci à Annie Gasca pour son témoignage.

Le fantôme de Montmartre

Self introduction!  

Hello to all of you! I’m Ann, and I was born in a town in Iloilo, about 30 kilometers away from the city. Our home was surrounded by a small coffee plantation, with trees like mango, coconut, cacao, and many other tropical or native fruits — it really felt like paradise! We also had plenty of animals around — chickens, geese, ducks, goats, pigs, cows, and even a carabao — and a small rice field. That was my childhood — simple, yet full of joy and natural beauty.

Now, I carry those memories and stories with me here on the podcast Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta!

I still clearly remember how we used to walk about 3 kilometers just to get to school when my siblings and I were in elementary. It was only when I got to high school that we moved closer to the highway. During the rainy season, we’d walk barefoot through rice paddies and small streams, carrying our school shoes and supplies. We would wash our muddy feet in a little stream beside the road before waiting for our favorite tricycle driver to pass by and take us to school.

You know, it’s only now that I realize how tough that was — but back then, it all felt like fun. I never even thought of it as difficult, especially for young schoolgirls like me.

We had a very loyal dog — his name was Burgo. He looked like he came from a police breed, maybe part German Shepherd mixed with a native dog. He was a gift from my grandfather. He was my companion through every silly adventure and farm chore.

Want to hear more of my stories? Just follow my podcast! Let’s keep talking — see you in Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta! This is Ann — padayon lang, abyan (keep going, friend).

As social beings, we build relationships in romance, friendship and business.
As we build these relationships, we make certain choices that will either lead to self growth or self abandonment.

How Important Is Self-Discipline In One's Journey Of Improving Their Language Enhancement?

Self-Motivation: While external motivation, such as teachers or language partners, can be helpful, self-discipline is the internal motivation that keeps the student going even when external support is not available.

Independence in Learning: Self-disciplined students can take charge of their own learning. They seek out resources, practice consistently, and actively engage in learning activities without constant supervision.

Language Immersion: Immersing oneself in the English language is an effective way to improve language skills. Self-discipline allows students to seek out English media, books, and conversations, enhancing their language exposure.

Consolidating Learning: Repetition and reinforcement are essential for language acquisition. Self-disciplined students review and practice regularly, which helps consolidate what they have learned.

Adaptability: Self-disciplined students can adapt their learning methods and approaches to suit their preferences and needs. They are open to trying new techniques and finding what works best for them.

Long-Term Commitment: Learning a language is a long-term endeavor. Self-discipline ensures that the student remains committed and dedicated to their language learning goals over an extended period.

Confidence and Empowerment: Self-discipline leads to achievements and progress, which, in turn, boosts the student's confidence and sense of empowerment in their language abilities.

Self-Discipline and the importance of it 

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もジョージアでPodcastを録っています。

今回は日本の話です。
13年前の3/11、何があったか知っていますか？

2011年の3/11、東日本大震災がありました。

東日本各地での大きな揺れや、大津波・火災などにより、2万2,318名の死者・行方不明者が発生しました（震災関連死を含む）。

これは明治以降の日本の地震被害としては
関東大震災
明治三陸地震
に次ぐ被害規模だと言われています。



この時に起こった福島原発の事故について、映画があります。

Fukushima 50という映画があります。

福島原発の事故が起こった時、現場で必死に闘った作業員たちの話です。

ぼくはこの映画がとても好きです。



決して明るい話ではありませんが、事実に近い話なので、もし見たことがなければ、ぜひ見てほしいと思います。
