What if I told you there were two traits that most successful language learners have in common? And what if I told you that you could develop these traits in yourself? 

Our attitude towards ambiguity and our willingness to communicate in our target language have a big impact on our success as language learners. Join me as we chat about how to develop these traits in ourselves. :)

Two Personality Traits of Good Language Learners

From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.

From Rome to Rochester: The History of the Hamburger

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。気温は21℃。
少し肌寒いです。

今日はもしもし？について話します。

みなさんの国では、電話を取る時、なんと言いますか？
英語を使う国では、Helloとか、Hiというでしょうか。

日本では、電話を取った時、もしもし？といいます。
他の時に使わないので、少し不思議な言葉に感じます。
なぜ、もしもし、と言うか知っていますか？

日本の電話のはじまりは、1890年明治23年でした。
当時は、電話交換をする人、オペレーターのような人がいて、電話をつないでいました。

その人がつなぐ相手に失礼のないよう、
"申します、申します"と言っていました。
ちゃんとつながっているか、言います、言います、と確認していたということですね。

それが短くなり、今のもしもし、となったようです。

その言葉が今も残っていると思うとおもしろいですよね。
日本人に電話をかける時は、ぜひ、もしもし！と言ってみてください。

ということで、今日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！
