There are many factors that influence language learning such as a student's age, personality and environment. In today's podcast, we will talk about three factors that affect a student's language learning progress namely motivation, learner's environment and and student's personality.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE  LANGUAGE LEARNING

Famous Hungarian poem performed by Natalie

Poems

Radnóti Miklós: Nem tudhatom...

C’erano una volta una volpe e una cicogna che si consideravano buone amiche.
Un giorno la volpe invitò a pranzo la cicogna; per farle uno scherzo, preparò della minestra e la servì in due vassoi piatti: la volpe riusciva a leccare con facilità la minestra nel suo vassoio, mentre la cicogna riusciva a malapena a bagnare la punta del becco nella minestra.
“Non ti piace la minestra?” chiese la volpe alla sua amica. “È buonissima, non preoccuparti; anzi, è così buona che son già sazia”.

Qualche giorno dopo, la cicogna ricambiò l’invito: voleva restituire lo scherzo alla volpe. Arrivato il giorno del pranzo, imbandì la tavola ma mise tutti i cibi in vasi dal collo lungo, come quelli che si usano per i fiori. La cicogna infilava il suo lungo becco nei vasi, gustandosi i manicaretti prelibati che aveva preparato. La volpe, invece, per quanto provasse ad infilare il muso e ad allungare la lingua, rimase a bocca asciutta.
“Non ti piace il pranzo che ti ho preparato?” chiese la cicogna. “Figurati, è delizioso. Così buono che sono già sazia” rispose la volpe. E così la cicogna si vendicò dell’amica burlona.

Morale della favola: Chi la fa, l’aspetti.

Today we're talking about some vocabulary that we can use for when we really want to stop working on a difficult task but we don't. We carry on and find the energy and a way to finish! I hope you find it useful.

スペイン語のレッスンと異常気象

私は毎日30分、スペイン語の会話レッスンをしています。スペイン語を勉強し始めたのはコロナで家に出られない期間、何か新しいことをはじめたかったからです。だから、コロナが落ち着いてから勉強をサボってしまって前より下手になってしまいました。今でも前の方がスペイン語が上手に話せたと思っていますが、毎日話すことで少しずつ自信を取り戻しています。

さて、今日のレッスンはパナマに住んでいる先生とのレッスンでした。現在パナマでは北部で台風がきていて、洪水などの被害が深刻だそうです。家の天井まで水に浸ってしまった家もあるようです。そこで話題になったのが最近の異常気象です。パナマではこのような台風は珍しいそうです。実は今年、私の住んでいる町でも洪水があり、全国紙に載るほどの被害がありました。私の町でも洪水はとても珍しいので、ニュースを見て驚きました。（私はその時、タイにいました。）

最近ではスペインでもバレンシア州で洪水があり、たくさんの犠牲者が出ていますよね。その他にも日本語の生徒さんの国でも異常気象というキーワードが出ることが多いです。言語を通して色々な国のことを自分の国のニュースで読むだけでなく、その国のニュースサイトで読んだり、その国の人から直接教えてもらうことができるのは言語学習の魅力の大きな一つですよね！スペイン語を勉強していてよかったなーと思った瞬間でした。
