This episode explores how the way people learn languages has developed in recent years. How can students and teachers face the challenges that this transformation presents? 
This topic is based on a popular choice in my guided conversation classes.

EP2: LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

In this episode, we explore one of the most fascinating questions: what if life were a game? Starting from a personal intuition and moving through art, science, video games, and philosophy, we reflect on “play” as a hidden thread connecting human culture.

Life is a Game - Immersive Italian Podcast Ep.8

In recent years, we have been encouraged to reduce the amount of meat we eat — for health reasons and to help protect the environment.

Red meat, in particular, has been shown to increase the risk of some health problems, while the farming of cows for food has a negative impact on the planet.

And these days, restaurants around the world that have traditionally focused on meat-based meals, including places like McDonald's and KFC, have begun to add more plant-based choices to their menus.

But the question some people are asking is: Can I eat less meat and still be healthy?

According to 2022 research, the answer could be "yes."

Researchers in Italy and Spain compared studies on the health benefits of animal proteins and plant-based or vegetable proteins.

We all need protein in our diets, wherever it comes from.

Plant-based or vegetable proteins include things like chickpeas, beans and nuts, as well as broccoli, kale and tofu.

And the study found that vegetable proteins can reduce the risk of things like heart disease and strokes, compared to animal proteins.

The researchers said that animal and vegetable proteins had similar effects on muscle and bone health.

However, they did find that vegetable or plant-based proteins might not give quite enough vitamin B12, although they were not able to explain why the two proteins have different effects on the body.

The researchers added that the lower environmental impact of plant-based proteins was too important to forget.

The health of the planet, they said, cannot be separated from the health of our bodies.

Congratulating Someone in English

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。


今日はぼくのちょっとくやしい経験について話します。
英語がうまく聞き取れなくて、くやしい経験をした、という話です。

昨日の夜、ぼくたちが泊まっているアパートで、他の部屋の人たちと夜ご飯を一緒に食べよう！ということになりました。

1人はアメリカの人、もう1人はドイツの人。
そして日本人である妻とぼく、の4人でした。

妻は英語がある程度話せるし聞き取れます。
昨日もだいたいの会話がわかるので、楽しく話していました。

ぼくは、聞き取るのが結構大変でした。
それぞれの人の話し方の特徴もあるし、スピードも少し早い。時々わかる時もあるけど、わからないことの方が多い。

こうなると、話についていくのはかなりむずかしいですね。

なんの話をしているかはわかりますが、詳細、詳しいことがわかりません。時々、妻に聞きながらなんとか聞き取ろうとしました。

オンラインレッスンで話す時は、自分と先生と1対1だから話しやすいですけど、人の話を聞くのはなかなかむずかしかったです。

でもこれも経験ですね。
昨日のちょっとくやしい気持ちを忘れずに、今日からまた英語の勉強をしようと思います。

自然な会話のスピードに慣れないといけないですね。
がんばります！

みなさんは同じような経験をしたことがありますか？
ありませんか？　


ぼくのオンラインレッスンでは、そういった話を一緒にすることもできます。ぜひ、いろんな経験を日本語で話してみましょう。



ぼくも英語や、今はトルコ語の勉強をがんばっています！
一緒に日本語の勉強もがんばりましょう！


ということで、今回は以上です。
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！
