The Aesthetics of Korea: Restrained Beauty

Korean Podcast with Naeun

절제된 아름다움 | The Aesthetics of Korea: Restrained Beauty | Korean Podcast for Intermediate

哈喽，欢迎回到咱们的中文学习播客，我是小韩老师。上次带大家初尝中文趣味，今天，咱们一起钻进超火的《哪吒2》，从好玩又好懂的角度，解锁中文学习新姿势，小伙伴们，准备好一起嗨学中文啦！
文化探秘：《哪吒2》里的传统文化
 
这部电影可不只是一部动画电影，它更是一座中国传统文化的宝库，里面藏着好多有趣的知识，跟中文学习紧密相关。
 
- 建筑与绘画：影片里哪吒去的玉虚宫，那景色美轮美奂，宫殿布局和色彩，参考了宋徽宗的名画《瑞鹤图》，充满了东方韵味。“玉虚宫”这三个字，“玉”是玉石，象征珍贵美好；“虚”有空灵、神秘的感觉；“宫”就是宫殿。这三个字组合起来，光听名字，是不是就感觉很有仙气？
 
- 音乐非遗：电影里的音乐也大有来头，侗族大歌和呼麦这些非遗音乐，给影片添了不少奇幻色彩。“侗族大歌”，“侗族”是中国的少数民族，“大歌”就是大家一起唱的歌，声音和谐美妙，像大自然的交响乐。“呼麦”更神奇，一个人能同时发出好几个声音，“呼”是发出声音，“麦”在蒙古语里和喉咙有关，因为呼麦是用喉咙发声技巧唱出来的。
 
- 文物彩蛋：仔细看，电影里还有好多文物彩蛋。比如看守哪吒的结界兽，造型灵感来自三星堆青铜器，那独特的样子，带着古老神秘的气息。“三星堆”是四川的一个考古遗址，出土了好多奇特的文物，像青铜面具、青铜神树，这些文物让我们看到几千年前古人的智慧和创造力。

Why am I trusted by more than 1 million English learners globally?

It's a bold statement, but it's true. I personally touched more than 15 thousand students in my live classes, and not only that, I was there for them in times of need. 

The need wasn't to improve their English for a job interview or improve it for IELTS speaking. It was to uplift their spirits and be their assistant on this journey.

Most of you who read it have been learning English for 10+ years and are still struggling, so it isn't just to do with improving your English ability... It's something else, and it's hidden inside of you—your belief in yourself plays a major role!

What you think about yourself and how you see yourself is the key, and therefore, my podcast begins with the words of famous psychologist Emil Coué: "Every day, in every way, I am getting better, better, and better."

Start using this formula for the goal you have, and be surprised at what it'll offer you in return!

I'd love to personally support you on your journey of improving your English, let me know how I can do it.


The Habits of Highly Effective English Communicators

Why I am trusted by more than 1 million English learners globally?

The Harvard study on happiness, known as "The Good Life," began in 1939 and followed a group of 724 men throughout their lives to explore what factors contribute to a happy and satisfying life. The study found that close and fulfilling relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, resilience, and gratitude were all important factors for a happy life.

In contrast, the "other" happiness that is promoted through consumerism and social media popularity can have negative consequences on individuals' mental and emotional health. The constant pursuit of material goods and a perfect image on social media can lead to stress, anxiety, and a sense of inadequacy. The true happiness comes from satisfying interpersonal relationships, physical and mental health, and meaningful activities that give us a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Hi havia una vegada, un nen que era venedor de gorres i volia vendre les seves gorres al mercat d’un poble proper. El dia que es celebrava el mercat, va travessar el bosc amb una cistella penjant del braç plena de gorres vermelles. Després d’una estona caminant es va notar molt cansat per culpa de la calor. Va decidir tombar-se sota un arbre molt gran. Va deixar la seva cistella a terra i es va adormir. A l’arbre hi vivien dos micos que van baixar i van agafar-li totes les gorres que  portava a la cistella. Quan ja les tenien totes, van tornar a enfilar-se a l’arbre. Quan el venedor de gorres es va despertar, es va sorprendre en veure la seva cistella buida. Va buscar les seves gorres per tot arreu, sota de la roques, a les branques dels arbres, però no les trobava per enlloc. Després de molt buscar, va descobrir que els micos que vivien a l’arbre les portaven posades. En veure els micos amb les seves gorres, es va enfadar molt i va començar a cridar i insultar-los: “lladres, brètols, torneu-me les meves gorres”, però lluny de cedir, els micos no podien parar de riure veient al venedor tan vermell i enfadat. Després de pensar una estona, els va explicar amablement als micos perquè necessitava tant les seves gorres, i els va prometre que si li tornaven totes, els regalaria una com a agraïment. Llavors, els micos, sabent que les gorres eren tan importants per al venedor, les van retornar. El venedor els va regalar una, tal i com havia promès.
