先週月曜日に近所のスーパーに行くと、新しく寿司コーナーが出来ていました。私は寿司コーナーができることを全然知らなかったのでとてもびっくりしました。思わず寿司コーナーの写真を撮り、パートナーに送りました。
このスーパーはREWEという名前のスーパーで、ドイツ中にあるスーパーです。私は大きな町のREWEには寿司コーナーがあることは知っていました。でも私の住んでいる町は小さく、田舎なので、寿司コーナーができると思っていませんでした。
この寿司コーナーには2、３人の寿司を作る人がいて、そこで作って冷蔵庫に並べて売っています。サーモンやアボガドの寿司、最近人気のポケも売っています。
ドイツ人の生徒にREWEの寿司について聞くと、「ポケがとてもおいしい。」と言っていたので、近いうちにポケを買ってみたいと思います。
皆さんの町ではおいしいお寿司が食べられますか？どんなお寿司が好きですか？よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

ドイツ中：どいつじゅう　throughout Germany

Oi gente! Vocês também sentem medo de falar a língua que estão aprendendo quando ainda não possuem uma boa fluência? Se sim, saibam que não estão sozinhos e que esse medo pode e deve ser superado!

Como superar o medo de falar?

In Episode 71, we explore the emotional undercurrents that often go unnoticed but heavily impact our ability to learn a language — insecurity, guilt, unworthiness, tension, and those jittery feelings that creep in when we're learning something difficult.

I gently walk you through the importance of first acknowledging, accepting, and validating your emotions. Why is this important? Because what we resist emotionally tends to persist. And when left unexamined, these emotions become silent saboteurs to your learning journey.

Supported by research in neuroscience and psychology, I explain how emotional tension activates the brain’s stress response, impairing memory and disrupting attention. But when we recognize these emotions as valid signals — not flaws — we begin the process of healing and learning at the same time.

I share tools rooted in cognitive reappraisal (Brooks, 2014) and self-compassion science, encouraging you to embrace your learning pace, your imperfections, and your worthiness to grow. We talk about how language learning isn’t just about fluency — it’s about coming home to yourself.

This episode is a reminder that you are allowed to move slowly, to feel deeply, and still make meaningful progress. In the presence of your most difficult emotions, you are still a learner with purpose — and that is a beautiful thing.

Until next time, I wish you inspired, grounded, and gentle learning. 🌱
