안녕하세요! 2023년 7월 26일 수요일 한국어강사 세이디예요. 찾아온 무더위로 지치는 계절 여름! 더위를 가시게 해 여름 하면 떠오르는 음식 중 하나가 바로 빙수인데요. 요즘에는 여러 종류의 빙수가 있지만, 대표적이고 전통적인 빙수는 역시 팥빙수지요. 팥빙수는 한국의 여름 디저트로, 얼음과 달콤한 팥 앙금, 과일, 떡 등을 함께 먹는 음식이에요. 얼음을 다져서 그 위에 다양한 재료를 올려서 먹는데, 시원하고 달콤한 맛이 일품이에요. 한국에서는 팥빙수를 전문으로 판매하는 가게나 카페 혹은 빵 집에서도 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있어요. 가수 윤종신의 노래 “팥빙수”도 많은 사람들의 인기를 받았죠. 이 노래를 들으면 한국인들의 팥빙수에 대한 남다른 애정을 느끼실 수 있어요. 그럼 한번 들어보실까요~

因炎热的天气, 疲惫的季节夏天！ 一说起消暑就会想起的食物， 其中之一就是刨冰！ 虽然现在有很多种刨冰，但是代表性的传统刨冰还是红豆刨冰。 刨冰是韩国的夏季甜点，是冰块和甜甜的红豆馅、水果、年糕等一起吃的食物。 把冰块剁碎后在上面放各种材料吃,凉爽甜蜜的味道是一流的。 您可以轻松地找到专门销售红豆冰的商店、咖啡厅和面包店。歌手尹钟信的歌曲《红豆冰》也受到了许多人的喜爱。如果听这首歌，您就可以感受到韩国人对红豆冰的特别热爱。

With the arrival of scorching summer, the exhausting season is coming! One of the foods that comes to mind when you think of summer that makes you feel hot is shaved ice. Nowadays, there are many types of shaved ice, but the representative and traditional one is definitely patbingsu. Patbingsu is a Korean summer dessert that is a food made by eating ice and sweet red bean paste, fruits, rice cakes, etc. together. Crushed ice is put on top of various ingredients, and the cool and sweet taste is irresistible. You can easily find stores, cafes, and bakeries that specialize in selling patbingsu. The song "Patbingsu" by singer Yoon Jong Shin has also been popular among many people. If you listen to this song, you can feel the special love of Koreans for patbingsu.

Lehrer gesucht!

(A)   ZUM GEGENWÄRTIGEN ZEITPUNKT gibt es in Deutschland viel zu wenig Unterrichtspersonal. Der Lehrermangel an den Schulen verschärft sich mehr und mehr. Die Gründe sind bekannt. Schnelle Lösungen gibt es nicht.

(B)   Wie konnte es zu dieser Situation kommen?
Zum einen steigt seit über zehn Jahren die Zahl der Geburten und zum anderen die hohe ZUWANDERUNG aus dem Ausland. Beides führt zu mehr Schulanfängern in den Grundschulen.
Gleichzeitig sinkt aus demographischen Gründen die Anzahl der Erwachsenen, die diese Kinder unterrichten könnten. Dazu kommt, dass immer weniger junge Leute ein Lehramts-Studium beginnen und immer mehr  von ihnen ein solches Studium ohne Abschluss abbrechen. 

(C)  Eine weitere Schwierigkeit ist, dass die Fächer der jungen Lehrer ungleich verteilt sind: Es gibt genug Deutschlehrer und Sportlehrer, aber viel zu wenige für Mathematik oder Informatik.

(D)   Zur Zeit versucht man die Situation durch die Einstellung von Leuten aus anderen Berufen aufzufangen. Da diesen Menschen die pädagogische und didaktische Qualifikation fehlt, ist das nicht immer erfolgreich. Auch bessere Bezahlung wird das Problem nicht lösen. Man wird die Arbeitsbedingungen der Lehrer überdenken müssen: Das bedeutet kleinere Klassen und niedrigere Stundenzahlen.
