Short and Sweet and Other Common Phrases in English

Happy New Year! 🎍 A new year has begun. Have you decided on your "New Year's Resolutions" yet?

In this episode, I talk about my two main goals for the year:

Podcast Consistency: I aim to create and upload episodes twice a week, more than I did last year. Let me know what topics you'd like to hear about!

Swimming: I’ve started going to a local sports center twice a week. Currently, I can swim about 15 meters using the breaststroke, but my goal is to reach 50 meters! 🏊‍♂️

Swimming is great for health and fitness. I’d love to hear your resolutions too—please share them in the comments!

かいわのためのポッドキャスト-Japanese for conversation-

あけましておめでとうございます

お久（ひさ）しぶりです。

久しぶりにポッドキャストを作（つく）った。去年（きょねん）の10月（じゅうがつ）以来（いらい）だ。本当（ほんとう）は毎月（まいつき）１回（いっかい）アップロードしたいと思（おも）っていたけど、ポッドキャストを録音（ろくおん）するアプリにログインできなくなってしまって、諦（あきら）めていた。今回（こんかい）は別（べつ）のツールで作成（さくせい）してみることにした。私（わたし）のポッドキャストは特別（とくべつ）な話（はなし）をするわけでもないし、たわいもない話ばかりだけど、誰（だれ）かの文章読解（ぶんしょう・どっかい）や単語暗記（たんご・あんき）、発音（はつおん）など何（なに）かしら学習（がくしゅう）のきっかけになればいいなと思って録音してる。これからも取（と）るに足（た）らない私の話を吐（は）き出（だ）していこうと思う。また聞（き）きに来（き）てくれる人（ひと）はいるだろうか。

お久しぶりです。

Many thought Collins had ended the series after the 2010 publication of Mockingjay — she even wrote in 2015 that it was "time to move on to other lands."

But four years later, she surprised readers and the publishing world when she announced she was working on what became The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, released in 2020 and set 64 years before the first book.

Collins used parts of Greek mythology and the Roman gladiator games for her earlier Hunger Games books.

But for the new book, she said she was inspired by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, and what he described as "the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

She added that the book will also look at the use of propaganda and "the power of those who control the narrative."

The film version of Songbirds and Snakes, starring Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler, came out last year. This fall, a Hunger Games play is set to open in London.
