How much do you understand my standard Tohoku dialect? 
東北地方の方言で昨日行ってきた花火のイベントについて、皆さんに語りかけます。
最初は日本人があまりにも少なくて、イベントの日にちを間違ってしまったかと友達と不安になった私ですが、夜暗くなるにつれて、人が多くなってきました。そしていよいよ花火が始まりました。ランタンと共に見る花火は豪華で美しくてとても大きく、感動しました。
世界の平和を祈って空に浮かべたランタン、そして花火。皆さんに私の楽しかった気持ちが伝わるとうれしいです(*^。^*)

“有点儿+adj.” can show how you feel about the current situation；

“Adj.+一点儿” can show what you are looking for or expecting for.

Ex: 这件衣服有点儿大，有小一点儿的吗？也有点儿贵，可以便宜一点儿吗？

Habit stacking, a concept popularized by James Clear in his book “Atomic Habits,” can be a powerful tool in business negotiations. It involves pairing a new habit with an existing one to create a sequence of behaviors that lead to a desired outcome. With practice, habit stacking can help negotiations become more natural and impactful.

Identify Core Habits: Start by pinpointing habits that are already part of your negotiation routine, such as reviewing key documents like contracts or setting clear meeting agendas in advance of discussions. These foundational habits form the base of your negotiation process.

Stack New Behaviors: Attach new habits that enhance negotiation skills, like practicing active listening techniques or rehearsing persuasive yet empathetic language with a colleague, to these core habits. Layering in complementary behaviors builds negotiation acumen over time.

Create Triggers: Use the completion of one habit as the trigger or cue to smoothly start the next habit in the sequence. For instance, after reviewing all pertinent documents, you might then take 10 minutes to practice delivering your opening pitch out loud.

Maintain Consistency: Repeat this full habit stack sequence consistently, whether daily or weekly, to solidify the new negotiation habits. Performing the behaviors together and over time will make them almost automatic. Over several months, this approach can lead to more effective, impactful and confident negotiations.

By using habit stacking to systematically improve your negotiation techniques, you can achieve better outcomes and build stronger long-term business relationships. With practice, your negotiations will become more natural and impactful.

ไทยทีละนิด Thai Tea La Nid - EP.3 - Have You Eaten Yet? 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Thai- T La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) Podcast. This is the episode 3 with me, Om-am.

In Thailand, after saying “สวัสดีครับ/สวัสดีค่ะ”, we often greet each other by asking “กินข้าวหรือยัง” or “กินข้าวรึยังคะ” (รึยัง or หรือยัง have the same meaning) “กินข้าวหรือยัง” means “Have you eaten yet?” 

In Thailand, especially in the past, we normally eat rice. That’s why we say “กินข้าว” when we have a meal even we might eat something else. Haha.

And you can reply back by saying “คุณกินแล้วค่ะ” or “เรียบร้อยแล้วค่ะ” if you have already eaten. And “ยังไม่ได้กินค่ะ” or “ยังเลยค่ะ” if you haven’t eaten anything. 

Now, let’s take a looks at some more phrases about this topic:

ข้าวเช้า - breakfast
ข้าวกลางวัน - lunch
ข้าวเย็น - dinner

So “คุณกินข้าวหรือยังคะ”?

If you want to learn more Thai and have fun speaking Thai, feel free to message me. And don’t forget to follow me for some more tips. 😊

Bye-Bye. Sa wat dee ka.
