    How to Keep House While Drowning
    What you say to yourself when your house is clean fuels what you say to yourself when it’s dirty. If you’re good when it’s clean, you must then be bad when it’s not...Let me tell you what the mess in my home means. It means I’m alive. Dirty dishes mean I’ve fed myself. Scattered hobby supplies mean I am creative. Scattered toys and mess mean I am a fun mom. The stacked boxes in the hall mean I was thoughtful enough to order what we need. The clothes strewn on the floor mean I had a full day.

    ハローキティのニーチェ　強く生きるために大切なこと
    生きることは、『どんな人生にしたい？』と自分に問いかけ、答えを探しながら前進すること。流されるままに生きても同じ時間だけど、手に入れる幸せは、まったく異なる。
    ニーチェの『ツァラトゥストラ』の一節、「生のあるところにのみ、意志もまたある。」『ハローキティのニーチェ』ではこの言葉が、上記のように紹介されています。いつも心に留めておきたい、大切な言葉です。原典の抽象度の高い言葉が、ハローキティのやさしい言葉に置き換わることで一気に解像度が上がり、強く心に残ります。イラストもかわいくて、眺めるのも楽しい、おすすめの一冊です。

    Contes du lundi
    … quand un peuple tombe esclave, tant qu’il tient bien sa langue, c’est comme s’il tenait la clef de sa prison…
    ドーデの「最後の授業」には、その時代背景や著者の思想について様々な考察がありますが、あえてこの部分を抜粋しました。日頃何気なく使っている「言語」について、改めて考えを巡らす機会になればと思います。

    The Travelling Cat Chronicles
    I thought it would be great if we could travel together like this for the rest of our lives.
    I love the Japanese genre with cats in books, that's why I created a lesson about it. We can discuss other books and the symbolism of cats during this lesson! :-) I am fond of cats and fond of books, too. So, I'm really happy to find books about cats! :-)

    パーネ・アモーレ イタリア語通訳奮闘記
    嘘つきは通訳の始まり
    我が師匠・田丸公美子さんの口癖。イタリア語にご興味をお持ちの方にぜひご一読いただきたい抱腹絶倒の奮闘記。日伊協会の季刊誌「CRONACA」やその他寄稿をまとめた処女作。「今度本を出すから、みんな買ってね、悪い口コミを書いたら縁を切るから、よろしく〜♪」との田丸節に弟子達は発売初日に買った本。実は非常に真面目で努力家の田丸さんでさえ「真面目だけでは通用しない」とおっしゃっている。この通訳者に必要な「嘘をつく度胸」と「必ず軌道修正する度胸」、そして「反省はしても気にし過ぎないスルー力」は語学学習に通じるものだと思っています。日本におけるその言語のトップ通訳者ですら大事にし続けたこの３つを、奮闘記の中から読み取って頂き参考にしていただけたらな、と思います❣️

    The Alchemist
    When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
    As an ESL teacher, I often remind my students that learning a language is also a journey of self-discovery. This quote inspires me to keep encouraging them to believe in their goals, no matter how far they seem. Every effort, every mistake, and every small success is part of their unique path. Teaching English has taught me that when we follow our passion and support others in theirs, everything begins to align — just as this book beautifully expresses.
