Afraid

Describing the context in which you heard a Word or an Idiom, making silly stories or puns are all great mnemonic devices which help us remember new Vocabulary.

[EP103] 足るを知る | Lessons from Yoga

Apa kabar semua? Saya harap semua sehat ya! 
Wah, waktu berjalan sangat cepat. Tahun 2022 hampir selesai dan kita akan mulai dengan tahun 2023! Banyak hal yang terjadi di tahun ini untuk saya. Bagaimana dengan kalian? Pasti ada kegembiraan, kemarahan, kesedihan dan juga kesenangan di tahun ini, kan. Di Bahasa Jepang, empat emosi ini adalah "喜怒哀楽”. Di Bahasa Inggris yaitu "joy", "anger", "sadness", and "pleasure". Saya harap di tahun 2023, banyak kegembiraan yang akan didapat, tidak perlu mengingat hal-hal sedih yang sudah terjadi, dan semoga pintu kesempatan untuk hal-hal baru juga terbuka ya! 
皆さん、よいお年をお迎えください！来年もよろしくお願いします！ 
Happy New Year! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! ^^

How should we apologize? What's the best way to say "sorry" in a casual situation? 
Expressions we use: 

My bad / That's my bad (casual). 
Hey, uh, Tim, I accidentally ate the food you made for yourself for lunch. Hh... my bad. I won't 
Honey, I forgot to take out the garbage again tonight. My bad. Look—I'll do it in the morning.

I'm sorry + forgive me (more serious, intimate)
I'm sorry, I broke your favourite coffee mug, hun. I'll get you a new one, and it'll be even better.
Paul, I'm sorry for missing your birthday party, I completely forgot about it. Can you forgive me for that? I... I need to be a better brother.

I'm so sorry I let your parrot escape! I'll go look for her. 
I'm so so sorry about that, Riley—next time I'm going to be late, I will call you.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
