📌 Here's a script for this episode : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZnVGOw6IMLkseFGxSUUF7kwfZPn80_6_XltlkUtwI8/edit?usp=sharing

In this first episode of Joah Korean, we talk about one of Korea’s most important holidays — Seollal, the Lunar New Year. You’ll learn when Seollal takes place, why it’s more special than the solar New Year, and how Korean families celebrate it with food, traditions, and fun games! I’ll also share some common Korean expressions you can use during the New Year, like “Saehae bok mani badeuseyo” (Happy New Year!).
Listen slowly, enjoy Korean stories, and learn Korean naturally with me, Jeong‑ah, your host at Joah Korean.

Joah Korean의 첫 번째 에피소드에서는 한국의 대표적인 명절, 설날(음력 새해) 이야기를 나눠요.
설날이 언제인지, 왜 한국 사람들에게 특별한지, 또 어떤 전통과 음식을 즐기는지도 함께 알아봅니다.
세배, 세뱃돈, 떡국, 윷놀이 같은 설날 문화부터 새해 인사 표현 “새해 복 많이 받으세요!”까지—쉽고 천천히 배워볼 거예요.
저, 정아와 함께 한국의 문화를 즐겁게 배우는 시간! Joah Korean과 함께 해요 😊

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの19回目です。暖かくなったと思ったら、急に寒くなったので、せっかくしまったジャケットを出さなければなりませんでした。今日もちょっと寒いです。このポッドキャストを配信しているAnchorの統計によると、3月の下旬から、1週間の再生回数が200回を超えるようになりました。ポッドキャストを始めた時は、こんなにたくさんの人に聞いてもらえるとは思っていませんでした。どうもありがとうございます。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 19. Just when I thought it was getting warmer, it suddenly got cold and I had to take out my jacket that I had put away. It's a bit cold again today. According to the statistics from Anchor, the platform that distributes this podcast, the podcast has had over 200 plays per week since late March. When I started the podcast, I didn't expect so many people to listen to it. Thank you very much.

今日は鯵フライを作りました。鯵フライは、鯵という魚を揚げた料理です。私は近頃よく揚げ物を作ります。「揚げ物」とは、揚げて作る料理のことです。てんぷらも、唐揚げも、フライドポテトも、すべて揚げ物です。小麦粉とパン粉と卵と油があれば、なんでも揚げられるので便利です。一般的には「揚げ物を作るのは面倒臭い」という人が多いですね。油をたくさん使わなければならないし、調理中はずっと作業をしなくてはいけないし、油の後始末も大変です。「後始末」とは、使い終わったものを捨てることです。油はシンクに流してはいけませんから、専用の薬品で固めたりして捨てます。

Today I made Aji fries. Aji fry is a deep-fried fish called Aji (horse mackerel). I often make Agemono these days. “Anemono” (fried food) means food that is deep-fried. Tempura, Karaage, French fries - they are all Agemono. It is convenient because you can fry anything if you have flour, breadcrumbs, eggs and oil. In general, many people say that cooking Agemono is a hassle. You have to use a lot of oil, you have to work the whole time while it is cooking and Atoshimatsu the oil takes time. “Atoshimatsu” (cleaning up afterwards) means throwing away what you've used. Oil should not be poured down the sink, so you have to use special chemicals to solidify it or otherwise dispose of it.

それでも私は、揚げ物を作ることを面倒臭いとは思いません。むしろ、毎日違うメニューを考えるほうが面倒です。「むしろ」は、二つの事実を比べて、後に言うことを強調するときに使います。肉や魚を買うだけで作れる揚げ物は、とても楽です。ウィキペディアで調べたら、日本では奈良時代(710-794年)から揚げ物が作られているそうです。日本食には健康的なイメージがありますが、「かりんとう」という伝統的な揚げ物のお菓子は、カロリーが高いです。卵もバターも使いませんが、カロリーはクッキーと同じぐらいです。食べ過ぎは良くないですね。

19. 揚げ物

Reducing the time we spend on our smartphones outside of work could help improve satisfaction and motivation in the workplace, according to a new study.

Spending less time on our phones doing non-work tasks like scrolling social media or watching videos could also have an impact on our mental health, researchers said.

A research team from Germany wanted to find out about easy ways companies could improve the motivation and well-being of their employees.

Almost 280 volunteers were put into four groups.

For one week, people in the first group reduced their daily smartphone use by one hour.

People in the second group didn't change their smartphone use, but did 30 minutes more exercise per day.

Participants in the third group did both of these things. And the fourth group didn't make any changes at all.

The volunteers took surveys about their work satisfaction, motivation and mental health before starting the experiment. They took the surveys again after the experiment ended, and then again two weeks later.

The researchers found that participants in both of the groups that reduced their smartphone use saw significant improvements in their mental health and workplace satisfaction. People in these groups also felt that their work-life balance was better.

And those in the first three groups — including the exercise-only group — all said they felt a greater sense of control over their lives.

The researchers said companies could think about encouraging employees to make small changes like these to their daily lives. When employees are happier at work, they're likely to be more productive, they added.

And the good thing for companies is that there's no cost to encouraging changes like these!
