I went back to Netflix yesterday night. It has been a while! For like two months, I couldn't bring myself to watch either TV shows or movies. I don't know why. Nothing tempted me. I had begun to watch a lot of series but I couldn't go on. A lot of them were stressful to watch, some were just not that good. So I simply stopped. It was supposed to be temporary but I found other things to do and suddenly my evenings were full. But I missed the feeling of watching something new. The problem was, I wanted to see something great and you know how much it's hard to find.
Last night, I went back to "3%", which is a serie located in Brazil. (Here is one of the reasons I liked the idea of Netflix: to see series from places you rarely know much about. There are now series about Libya and about Africa that I really want to watch.) In this world, Brazil is a place of extreme poverty, where most of the population experiences violence and destitution everyday. Still, there's a legendary heaven, the Other Side. Each year, candidates from the general population can try to win a place on the Other Side by passing a serie of extensive trials named the Process. Those trials are set up by Ezequiel, Head of the Process. As we begin the serie, Ezequiel is investigated by Aline because some habitants of the Other Side wonder at his choices. It makes this year's Process harder and more complicated for the candidates: Michele, Rafael, Joana, Fernando, Marco and much others. Every one of them has secret reasons to be here which are revealed progressively. I like that show mostly: because the ethnic diversity is great which is not frequent, because the violence is sudden and jarring, and because the tests are surprising. Still, I'm only on Episode 3, so I can't recommand 3% to anyone.

I often use TV to improve my English, it's very useful. I select cultural programs, such as documentaries related to nature or history.
Sometimes I watch TV without subtitles, it depends on the offer on that moment. My favorite choice is watching it with subtitles also in English, but this is not always possible.
I always learn new vocabulary and train my ear to understand different tunes and accents. I find it's difficult to understand American people.
Obviously when we are beginners, this can be very frustrating. This happened to me with Japanese films. It's a very difficult language and I only studied a few months. Even in this case, when I was able to understand a single word, I was very happy.

Ideally, I would choose to live in different places depending on the seasons.
Summer is wet in my city; I would prefer to stay in the mountain then. For instance, in the Pyrenees. This would allow me to enjoy de sun during the day and sleep fresh at night.
During spring, I would move to one of our islands to walk along the beach. Menorca is a good choice because is a friendly and not to crowded place (except in summer).
In autumn I 'd live in my hometown, Barcelona. Cultural life is interesting here.
Wherever I`d go, I`d stay in touch with my family. They are important for me. Maybe I could invite them to spend some days together.

Le coréen est une langue que m'intéresse à cause du système d'écriture, le Hangeul et comparé avec les autres- il sonne le mieux. De plus, comme beaucoup d'autres j'aime aussi écouter KPOP et regarder des vidéos sur Youtube en coréen.
Cela dit, c'est une langue compliquée et je n'ai pas assez de temps pour l'étudier. Je dédie déjà beaucoup de temps libre pour apprendre des langues étrangères et j'ai une longue liste des buts de futur.
En outre, je voudrais apprendre une variété diverse de langues et entre les trois langues les plus populaires en Asie de l'Est, le mandarin, le japonais et le coréen, j'ai le désir moindre d' étudier le coréen. Pour le contexte, le mandarin est ma langue maternelle et le japonais est ma langue de rêve depuis l'enfance (probablement à cause de consommation excessive d'animé et manga.)
Peut-être que je commencerai à l'apprendre un jour, mais pas encore...

Se eu pudesse, eu iria em Portugal ou na Espanha, talvez em uma ilha como Madeira ou Teneriffa. Gosto muito das temperaturas quentes e de ter a possibilidade de poder estar ao mar em pouco tempo. Lá tem muitas opções para aqueles que adoram fazer deporte. A gente pode caminhar, nadar, fazer kite-surfing, escalar, etc. Acho também a atmosfera mais calma e "chill" que na Alemanha.

Non so cosa farò questa volta!!!
Il compito del mese è quello di tradurre una ricetta tipica di un piato brasilianao in spagnolo.
Ma ci sono ingredienti che solo esistono in una regione specifica di questo paese continentale... Non so se sono arrivati in Spagna e in Latinoamerica.
L'unica cosa che so è che dovrò cercare l'aiuto del cielo o di una azienda di traduzione... Sicuro non avrò la capacità di tradurla bene. =(
Ma da dove vengono questi pensieri? I professori hanno una immaginazione molto fertile!!!! Per chi sta tuttavia "imparando", dovrebbero insegnare cose più semplici dato che nei lezioni non ci insegnano tutto!!!
A dire il vero nessuno ci insegna "il salto del gatto" (il punto principale de lle cose) perché ogni persona tradurre in un modo diverso secondo le sue esperienze personali.... =(
PS: "Il salto del gatto" ... ho trovato la traduzione di questa espressione brasiliana come semplicemente "trucco"
A questo mi referisco... quale è/sarebbe la parola/espressione che sostituisce più colloquialmente "trucco" nel linguaggio cotidiano degli italiani????

こんにちは、
最近、フランスでは春休みがあるので、学生たちにだんだん期末試験が近づいている。だから、毎日非常に復習するようにしている。それから、試験を受ければ、夏休みが始まる。今年はアルバイトを見つけることが大変で、夏のは見つけるのかな....去年、美術館で働く予定だったが、コロナウイルスがあって、働けなかったけど、スーパーでアルバイトを見つけることができた。今回は、美術館で働きたいと思っている。
先週末は、母と”The Serpent"と言うネットフリックスのシリーズを終わった。とてもそそられたんだよ。話のは1970年代多数な殺しをして、フランス人がバンコクに住んだ犯罪人についてだ。このシリーズの雰囲気は怖いが、演じた俳優のはとてもいい。できれば、ぜひ見てください。

Globalization is a positive force in today’s world. International cooperation support developments in many fields, and today’s big issues cannot be solved by a single country.
Technological advances of recent years are the fruits of globalization. For example, leading companies of information technology are multinational. They hire their employees from many countries, produce and sell them all around the world. Because of that, they and technologies of their fields are developing at an astonishingly fast pace.
Environmental issues are taken as a serious problem among all countries. For example, global warming needs international cooperation. If countries take responsibility only for damages of its own region, how can we tackle with the problem of melting polar ice sheet or that of pouring acid rains? Today, international organizations such as united nations, COP21, and so on contribute to environmental protection.
Political issues are also need an international approach. Pressing political problems including environmental ones are so huge and complicated that a single country cannot solve. For example, reducing strategic weapons, especially ones that includes nuclear warhead needs international cooperation. Treaties on limiting weapons are the only way to improve the situation, and the existing ones are made of global effort.
The more technologies develop and population grows, the more huge and complex the society becomes. Therefore, as international cooperation becomes more and more important, Globalization is still a positive force in today’s world.

Mi primero curso de español estuve en EE. UU. en 2020. En ese tiempo me intercambiaba a la universidad allí y me inscribí ese curso de español. Desde hace tres años había aprendido español cuando asistía al aula. Pero no me lo había hecho esfuerzo con frecuencia. Por cierto, no conocía nadie en la clase menos la profesora. Me sentía nervioso y aburrido siempre en esa. Nos enseñaba el subjuntivo, pero nos enseñaba lo mismo de nuevo y de nuevo en cada curso. Por lo tanto, no quería asistir a la clase nuevamente. La profesora me pareció simpática, sin embargo no me gustaría mucho. Luego a causa de COVID-19, en marzo todos los cursos son en Internet. Básicamente son en Zoom. Eso me impresionó mucho porque nunca llevé unos cursos en Internet cuando estaba en universidad ni los profesores hicieron eso. Y yo todavía recuerdo que estaba tan nervioso mientras hablaba con la profesora como un examen parcial. Al fin y al cabo, no es una experiencia mala.

Das traurigste in der Geschichte des Oktopus ist nicht sein Tod. Das traurigste Moment war nach dem Kampf der Oktopus mit einem Katzenfisch, als er krank wurde. Seine Tentakel wurde abgebissen. Die Oktopus werden ähnlich krank wie Menschen. Er war blass und jagte nicht. Unser Oktopus hatte einen menschlichen Freunde , der ihm Essen brachte, aber er hatte keinen Appetit. Die Oktopus haben ein kurzes Leben aber die Natur hat dennoch für ein neues Tentakel gesorgt. Nach einer Woche wurde der Oktopus viel besser. Der tentakel begann zu wachsen. Es ist nur Schade , dass kranke Oktopus während der Reabilitation nicht in der Schwarzwald gehen können.

I am proud that Ting Zhao won three Oscars for her film " "Normadland". But because of the Oscar nomination of the Hong Kong protest documentary "Do Not Split" and Zhao Ting's "bad" comments, the Oscar ceremony information was completely blocked in China.
As a fan of Nine Inch Nails, I am glad of Trent Reznor on winning the Best Score for Soul! I watched Soul on my winter vacation. Soul is a good movie, I think the best part of this film is the change of mind of the lead after he achieves success.
Today at dinner I watched "Time" which was nominated for best documentary. Although it is a black subject, it seems too melodramatic, talking only about the inability of the man in charge to reunite with his family in prison, without mentioning a word about the harm he did to others back then. However, black and white images can enhance the artistic quality.

For more than 20 years ago, there is no good translate program between English and Korean.
Some years later, Google released the translator.
Of course, it was supported to translate between English and Korean but it wasn't good, either.
Instead, I used the site using Japanese as an intermediate stage for better sentences.
Between English and Japanese were great results because of many translated cartoons.
Between Korean and Japanese were easy to translate because those are similar.
As a result, I could get sentences using Japanese.
Now, Google translator has better accuracy between English and Korean.
But Papago translator is better accurary between English and Korean.
The site is managed by the Korea No.1 web search company, so the site is useful.
I recommend to use Papago for translating.

¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? ¿Qué pasas ahora?
No nos encontramos hace muchos meses. Recientemente no pude verte debido a muchas cosas varias que necesito terminarlas. Estoy cansado de que trabajo e intento aprobar el examen al mismo tiempo. De todas maneras, ¿te gustan que vamos a museo o montaña? Me encantan todos. Podremos irnos al mueso cerco de donde vivo y ver los cuadros maravillosos. No hace calor dentro en verano. Por otro lado, haremos montañismo juntos. Vamos a disfrutar de la naturaleza y relajarnos. Por fin, espero que vaya aquí cuanto antes. Te extraño mucho. Ojalá que esté bien ahí.
Un abrazo,
Jesse

Я часто завидую людям с старых поколений, когда всё дело в социальных медиа. Мне 23 года и я чувствую себя обязан быть в социальных медиа, потому что это легче выслать сообщение, когда хотят говорить кому-то о чём-нибудь, или публиковать фото, когда хотят делить свою жизнь с другими. Я лично не люблю этого типа интеракции и не использую часто социальных медиа, а однако мне нужно какой-то аккаунт, иначе никто не может со мной быть в контакте. У меня аккаунт на Инстаграме для этой цели. Я выбрал Инстаграм, потому что мне кажется, что это самая популярная социальная сеть в Италии, но кроме Инстаграма, я не хочу получить никакой аккаунт на других приложениях.
У старых поколений такой проблемы нет. Старые люди вообще не умеют использовать ничего технологического, поэтому могут позволить себе быть свободными из обязательства всегда быть в контакте со всеми, кого знают. Я помню, что женщина, которой около 55 лет, сказала мне, что она - динозавр, потому что у неё нет ни Фейсбука ни других социальных сетей. Я был очень удивлён, потому что если я бы был в самой же ситуации, все люди бы спрашивали «Но почему?» и бы пытались убеждать меня создать аккаунт.

I write my signeture in kanji. My name is four letters and each kanji has a different balance, so I researched how I can write my name with style. I guess most of the Japanese people have their style to write their name.
When I traveled to Shanghai, China two years ago, I signed at the hotel when checking in. A man saw my signature and said "It's beautiful." to me. I'm proud of this episode :)

There was upon a time a fearful guy. He was scared of the dark, the woods, the wind, the sounds of the night, and much more. Everything was so threatening for him that simple tasks, such as going to the market or collecting wood for the winter, were an absolute nightmare to his eyes. Their parents found that exasperating. They got furious every time he trembled and cried when being asked to take out the trash.
"What's the matter with you, faint-hearted coward little rabbit?" they said to him, "The world is outside this house and you must face it! What are you gonna do when we perished? Let yourself die from starvation and cold because you're too afraid of going out our door? But he just stared at them perplexedly and kept on crying. That's why one day their parents made a plan to help him learn the hard way: on Market Day the three of them were shopping together, but it wouldn't be like previous Market Days.
He was ecstatic about seeing the stalls overflowing with fruits, meat, and bread (he was shy but glutton). When he turned around to tell his mother that he fancied a delicious-looking watermelon, he discovered petrified that neither his mother nor his father were nowhere to be seen. He was alone and far from home.

В залeжить що виназиваєтe успіхом. Якщо ви називаєтe успіхом кар'єру, тоді дорога до успіху настільки важкою що, коли ви згадуєтe свій шлях увас мурашки по тілі підe та сльоза покотиться по щокам. А якщо ви називаєтe успіхом, "духовне місце", тоді ви довго шукатемете "своє місце".
Кар'єра для кожного це важливо, та скорше всього "кожний" не знає як це йти до успішної кар'єри. Мої слова підтверджує письменник Матвей Северянин: "Я приходив до дому, сідав робити відео, потім лягав спати. Інколи я засипав на клавіатурі та приходив на роботу з відбитками кнопок на лиці, тоді надімою сміялися всі, навіть моя мати. І так два роки." Ось такі люди приходять до кар'єрного росту. В таких людей як Матвей вихована самодисципліна.
Про що таке "духовне місце", мабуть, мало хто знає, тим більше мало хто знає як прийти до нього. Можна прийти до "духовного успіху як колишній соліст групи "Бітлз", Піт Бетс. Його вигнали з групи, він пробував створити нову рок-групи, але не вдалося. Але вневдовзі Піт позайомився зі своєю майбутньою дружиною, вони прожили ще сім років, у них появилися діти. Коли у Піта взяли спитали "Ви жалієте що покинули "Бітлз"?", тоді він відповів "Ні, я на "своєму місті", я жасливий". Також був соліст групи "Металіка", Мастейн, якого також вигнали з рупи. Він створив групу "Мегахелл", ця група продала більше ніж 25 мільйонів копій альбомів, а "Металіка" продала продала більше ніж 180 мільйонів копій альбомі.

僕には変わった同級生がいる。11歳の頃に出会って以来、僕は彼の言動に疑問を持ち続けていた。彼は自分の能力に対して正しい認識をしていないように見えた。自分の適性に合ってない教科ばかりを選んで勉強していた。エンジニアになるという夢があり、そのために理系科目を多く専攻していた。しかし根っからの文系で、文学の成績はすこぶるよかったのだが、物理、数学、化学はさっぱりだった。理系の科目のテストで悪い点数を取り続けたにもかかわらず、進路を変更せずにひたすら理系の科目を勉強しつつ、理系の課外活動に参加し続けた。
努力を惜しまない姿は素晴らしいと思ったのだが、理系科目を勉強する彼はとても苦しんでいるように見えた。そんなある日、彼がある小説について討論する会を開いた。そこでの彼は見違えるほどだった。舞台の上で小説の考察を熱弁する彼はとても楽しそうで生き生きとしていた。聴衆は彼を称賛し、拍手を送っていた。彼は舞台の上で輝いていた。これほど才能があるのに、なぜ彼は自分の適性に反して進路を選ぶのか本当に疑問だった。当時の僕は苦しみながら苦手なことを続けるより、才能を伸ばしていく方が幸せだし、合理的であるように感じていた。
彼は今何をやっているのかはわからないのだが、未だに夢に向かって走り続けているのだろう。

My to-do list for today is:
Bibel reading.. I do this every day. Jehova God comes first in my life.
Then I turn on some music! This is a must for my body to function. Then I do some morning gymnastics.. This is something I try to do every once or twice a week. Which leeds me to the shower that I can take afterwards because I'm sweating. Then I have to wash the dishes and eat some breakfast. Then I need to remember to give my husband a hug. And then I make early dinner as usual (about 3'o clock). Eating it about 4 pm. Then i sit down play some games on my phone. And about 6 pm, I watch the Korean drama that I'm watching at the moment. When we get to 9 pm. It's time for bed.. I wait for my husband to brush teeth first.. And then it's my time for the evening routine:
Bringing my duvet, water bottle and phone to the bed, going to the toilet, brushing teeth, listening to my husband reading the daily scripture, stretching my legs to avoid kramps when sleeping, taking a fresh moment in the window, reading a story from our Bibel story book aloud before my husband falls a sleep, braiding my long hair to avoid it becoming a big mess when sleeping, training my arm muscles with weights, washing the dining table with a cloth, taking another fresh breath from outside the window and taking moment to fall back down. Then I can finally lay in bed on our futon, put my phone in the charger and check of the last of my to-do list in habitica, take 10-15 sit-ups to do something about that anoying belly and I lay down.. talk a bit with Jehova saying thanks for all the good things I can think of. Good night😌😴
