みなさん、こんにちは。日本語教師のMayukoです。

私は東京のIT企業で12年間、マーケティング業務とコンサルティング業務に従事してきました。
現在は、日本企業に就職を希望する留学生、社会人の方に、書類チェックや面接練習などのサポートをしています。興味がある方はぜひ、プロフィールを見てくださいね♪
今日は記念すべき初投稿をお届けします！

教科書では習わない、日本の職場で働く上で最も大切な、職場の「おはようございます」の意味を知っていますか？

クイズ：日本の会社では、午後2時に「おはようございます」を使うことがある？　【 Yes / No 】

・・・正解は、Yes,
例えば、用事があり午後に出社する場合や、午前中は社外でのアポイントメント、その後出社など...、出社時に同僚や先輩に会ったときは「こんにちは」ではなく「おはようございます」と言いいます。

少し不思議に思いませんか？
実はこれは単なる時間帯のあいさつではなく、「今から仕事に入ります」というチームへの報告と協調のサインです。

このエピソードでは、日本語教師のMayukoが、自身のビジネス経験に基づき、

1.　なぜ午後でも「おはようございます」を使うのか？
2.　会社で「おはようございます」を使うことの信頼構築効果
3.　【重要】 社内と社外（取引先）での使い分けの注意点

を徹底解説します。このルールをマスターして、日本の職場でスムーズな人間関係と信頼を築きましょう！
N3レベルの方でも理解できるよう、優しい日本語を使って、ゆっくり話すように心がけました。

あなたのお国の文化との違いや、意外なあいさつの使い方、など、
あなたの使いやすい言語を使って、ぜひ、コメントをくださいね！
もちろん、日本語での投稿もお待ちしております♪

【日本のビジネス文化】午後2時に「おはようございます」？：信頼を築くあいさつのルール

There is an old theory that eating cheese before bed causes bad dreams, although scientists don't have much evidence to prove it.

But if cheese can't make us dream, new research from the US says that perhaps an app could — and they don't have to be bad dreams!

Researchers experimented with an app that they designed to encourage people to have lucid dreams. These are dreams that feel vivid and real.

During lucid dreams, people know that they're dreaming and may even be able to control what happens in the dream.

Not everyone has lucid dreams. It's thought that about half of us will have them during our lives, but some people may have them regularly.

Lucid dreams may be useful for us: experts think they could encourage creativity and problem-solving, or help us with nightmares.

The app in the study used a method called "targeted lucidity reactivation" that is supposed to make people more likely to experience lucid dreams.

This is usually done in a laboratory, but the researchers wanted to see how effective an app used at home could be.

They did two experiments to see if the app could increase the frequency of participants' lucid dreams.

The first experiment included 19 participants. Before going to sleep, they did a 20-minute activity that encouraged them to enter a "lucid mindset" when they heard certain sounds.

These same sounds were then played during the night. The frequency of the participants' lucid dreams more than doubled during the week of the experiment.

Fifty people completed the second experiment. They were put into three groups, with one group using the targeted lucidity reactivation method.

The people in this group reported that they had experienced more lucid dreams during the week of the experiment than those in the two control groups.

The researchers said these results suggest that apps like this could help people to use sleep for "personal benefits" including "spiritual and personal growth."

App Could Help People to Have Lucid Dreams

Your Digital Nomad Journey

The allure of remote work and constant travel beckons. But trading your cubicle for a co-working space in Bali requires planning. Here's how to embark on your digital nomad adventure:

1. Skill Up & Find Your Niche: Can your talents translate to remote work?  Web developers, writers, and virtual assistants are in high demand. Hone your skills and identify a niche market you can serve virtually.

2.  Embrace Remote Work:  Many traditional jobs now offer remote options.  Discuss flexibility with your employer or explore remote work platforms. If freelancing, build a strong portfolio and secure clients before taking the leap.

3.  Financials: Be Ruthless:  Living on the road can be surprisingly affordable, but research your desired destinations.  Factor in visas, co-living, and travel costs.  Build a healthy savings cushion to cover any hiccups.

4.  Tech is Your Lifeline: Invest in reliable equipment - a sturdy laptop, noise-cancelling headphones, and a universal adapter are crucial.  Don't forget secure cloud storage and a VPN for safe internet access on the go.

5.  Master Time Zones:  Working across continents requires discipline.  Schedule calls considering time zone differences and utilize tools like calendar apps to avoid confusion.

6.  Embrace Community:  Combat loneliness by joining online digital nomad communities and co-working spaces in your destinations.  These connections are invaluable for support and advice.

7.  Be Flexible & Adaptable:  Expect unexpected internet outages, cultural differences, and travel mishaps.  Maintain a positive attitude and problem-solving skills are key for a smooth journey.

Remember, the digital nomad life isn't all sunsets and beaches. It requires hard work, discipline, and a willingness to adapt. But for those seeking freedom and adventure, the rewards are endless.

おはようございます！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


北海道旅行の話の続きです。

1日目は千歳から帯広まで車で移動しました。
180キロを3時間ちょっとで移動しました。

そして、1日目はホテルやAirbnbではなく、道の駅、というところで車中泊をしました。

道の駅、というのは、日本の普通の道路ぞいにあります。
特に地方など移動距離が長い場所にあります。

最近は車中泊をして良い道の駅もあります。
1日目は帯広の道の駅で車中泊をしました。

車中泊ができる道の駅は、とても安全で安心です。
24時間使えるトイレがあります。
ライトもついているので、暗くなくて安心できます。

僕たちははじめて車の中で寝ました。

ちょっとつかれるかなと思っていましたが、思っていたよりも快適でした。しっかり寝ることもできました。

そして2日目です。

朝は早めに起きて、近くのスターバックスに移動して、少しゆっくりしました。平日の朝、人が少ない時間にスターバックスでゆっくりできるのはとても好きです。

気持ちがいいですね。

今回は以上です。
2日目の続きは次のPodcastで話します。

ということで、最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
