    #40 The best times of my life 最美好的日子 | Chinese Comprehensible Input

    Lately, I often find myself thinking about the past—from my teenage years, to my time working in Shanghai, to the five years I’ve spent in the Netherlands. When I sit down and carefully sort through my happiest memories, I realize that I actually have so many of them. And most of these wonderful memories are connected to one important decision I made. 00:00 Talking about the happiest times of my life 03:05 Beautiful memories of my three years in high school 09:12 A period of freedom before coming to the Netherlands 14:14 My first year in the Netherlands 17:35 The best decision I’ve made as an adult 18:08 A three-month trip around Asia in 2023 19:33 The secret to happiness 最近总是想到以前的事情，从我还是青少年的日子，到在上海工作的时光，到来了荷兰之后的五年。 当我坐下来，细细梳理我回忆里最美好的时光时，我发现我竟然有这么多美好的回忆。 而这些很美好的回忆里，大多都与我的一个决定相关。 00:00 聊聊自己生命中最美好的时光 03:05 高中三年的美好回忆 09:12 来荷兰前的自由时光 14:14 荷兰第一年的经历 17:35 成年后最正确的决定 18:08 2023年的三个月亚洲旅行 19:33 幸福的秘密 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I shared three special concepts that only exists in Chinese.

    #39 I’m thirty, and I’m still watching anime 三十岁了，还在看动漫？| Chinese Comprehensible Input

    For me, Japanese anime is not just a way to pass the time, but rather a third way of understanding the world outside of school and family when I was a child. More than twenty years later, I am still watching anime, even though some people believe it is created only for children. This itself shows the timeless charm of anime. 00:00 Childhood Affection 01:09 The Concept of Anime and Its Popularity in China 03:59 From the Television Era to Pirated Copies 06:53 The Complexity of Hunter x Hunter 10:35 Impressions of Japanese Anime in Recent Years 12:33 Differences Between Europe and China in Viewing Japanese Anime 14:21 Anime as an Art Form and Its Personal Impact on Me 对我来说，日本动漫不仅仅是消磨时间的一种方式，而是我小时候在学校、家庭之外的，认识世界的第三个方式。 二十多年后的今天，我还在看动漫，即使有人认为这只是为了孩子创作的。 这也说明了日本动漫穿越时间的魅力。 00:00 童年情结 01:09 动漫概念与在中国的流行 03:59 电视年代到盗版启蒙 06:53 《全职猎人》的复杂性 10:35 日本动漫近年观感 12:33 欧洲和中国对日本动漫的看法差异 14:21 动漫即艺术，以及对我个人的影响 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I shared three special concepts that only exists in Chinese.

    #37 The real universal language: Music 为什么音乐这么重要？| Chinese Comprehensible Input

    I believe music is the true universal language—you don’t need to study it; you just need to feel it, and you can convey complex ideas and emotions. This partly explains the significance of music—it transcends time, space, and culture. On a personal level, I’ve also been finding different ways to deepen my connection with music. It’s not just about listening; I also learn instruments, and in the future, I hope to study composition as well. What is your relationship with music? 00:00 The Journey Begins: My Path in Learning Instruments 02:12 The Influence of Japanese Music and Childhood Memories 04:20 The Beauty of Melody: A Comparison Between Japanese and Western Music 05:22 Music as Emotion, Communication, and a Universal Language 10:55 Spirit of the Times: The Evolution of Chinese Music 15:20 The Formation of Musical Taste and Memory 我认为音乐是真正的通用语言—不需要学习，只需要感受，你就能传达复杂的意思和情绪。 这也部分解释了音乐的重要性——跨越了时间、空间，以及文化。 从个人层面而言，我也是通过各种办法增加自己和音乐真正接触的机会，不仅仅是听音乐，我还学习乐器，未来还想学习作曲。 你和音乐的关系是怎样的？ 00:00 音乐启程：我的乐器学习之路 02:12 日本音乐的影响与童年记忆 04:20 旋律之美：日西音乐风格对比 05:22 音乐——情绪、交流与通用语言 10:55 时代精神：中国音乐的演变 15:20 音乐偏好的形成与记忆 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I shared a secret “recipe” on how to carve out enough time to learn languages in your busy life.

    #36 Are you happier working for a large company or a small company? 不工作最幸福！| Chinese Comprehensible Input

    I have worked in both large and small companies, and I realized that the smaller the company I work for, the happier I am. Why is this so? Is this just my personal experience or is it the same for everyone? In addition to working in large and small companies, are there other possibilities? 00:00 Welcome and personal update 01:05 Career background and the changing pattern of happiness 05:27 Research and analysis on company size and well-being 12:00 Challenges of small companies vs. Advantages of large companies 14:48 Standardization vs. Creativity: adapting to challenges in small companies 17:26 Exploring different forms of work 我在大公司和小公司都工作过，我发现当我工作的公司规模越小，我的幸福感越强。 为什么是这样？这只是我的个人体验还是大家都这样？除了在大公司和小公司之外，有没有别的可能性？ 00:00 欢迎与近况分享 01:05 职业背景与幸福感的变化轨迹 05:27 公司规模与幸福感的研究与分析 12:00 小公司的挑战与大公司的优势 14:48 标准 vs 创造：适应小公司的挑战 17:26 多种工作形式的探索与思考 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I shared a secret “recipe” on how to carve out enough time to learn languages in your busy life.

    #35 徒步是冥想：前往珠峰大本营 Hiking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) | Chinese Comprehensible Input

    Hiking used to be my only way of traveling, but since coming to Europe, I’ve rarely gone hiking. My last mountain trek was in 2020, on the EBC (Everest Base Camp) route in Nepal. Finally, this August, I’m going to start hiking again. Why do I love hiking? In this podcast, I’ll be sharing the best experiences hiking has brought me. 00:00 Hiking Plans and Travel Anticipation 03:19 Recalling the EBC Trek Experience 08:12 Life in Extreme Conditions and Returning to the City 10:01 The Meaning of Hiking and Inner Experience 13:04 Sensory Immersion in Nature 16:00 Looking Ahead to Future Hikes 徒步曾经是我唯一的旅游方式，但是来欧洲之后我却很少徒步。我上一次的山间徒步经历是2020年尼泊尔的EBC路线。 终于，今年八月份我要重新开始徒步了。 为什么我喜欢徒步？播客里我将分享徒步带给我的最佳体验。 00:00 徒步计划与旅行期待 03:19 EBC徒步经历回顾 08:12 极端环境下的生活与回归城市 10:01 徒步的意义与内在体验 13:04 自然中的感官体验 16:00 对未来徒步的展望 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I talked about a weird phenomenon of touristy places in China: Crowded spots, pricey tickets—yet billions in yearly losses.

    #34 时间管理和多重心的生活 How I work full time, learn two languages, make a podcast, and still do more | Chinese Comprehensible Input

    When chatting with friends, I’m often told, “Qiuyue, how do you manage to do so many things!” And I think to myself, I haven’t even listed everything else I’m doing yet! But honestly, I don’t feel like my life is all that busy—I’m just doing the things I genuinely enjoy (most of the time): learning languages, reading, working out, creating art, socializing, and playing games. That said, when I think about it more carefully, there are indeed some personal experiences I can share—things that might help others tap into their potential and explore more of what life has to offer. 00:00 Opening & why this topic was chosen 02:05 How many things I am doing, really? 07:40 Multiple life pillars & maintaining balance 09:18 Boosting energy levels 13:08 Making use of fragmented time & avoiding social media 17:19 External brain systems & integrating language learning into daily life 和朋友聊天时，我常常被评价：秋月，你怎么能做这么多事情的！ 我心想：我还没有列出其他我还在做的事情呢！ 但我并没有觉得我的生活有多忙，我只是在做自己享受做的事情而已（大多数时候）：学习语言，读书健身，创作艺术，社交和游戏。 但仔细想想，这其中，的确是有一些个人经验可以分享给大家，帮助大家能够充分发挥自己的潜力，尝试更多的事情。 00:00 开场与选题动因 02:05 我到底在做多少事情？ 07:40 多重重心与动态平衡 09:18 提高能量水平 13:08 利用碎片时间与远离社交媒体 17:19 外脑系统与语言学习融入生活 ------------------------------------- In the latest newsletter, I shared one of my favorite tools for squeezing language practice into your daily routine—with the bonus of learning some art history along the way.
