  • 我做播客这几年,赚了多少钱? | How Much Have I Earned from Podcasting So Far?
    Aug 30 2025

    节目简介 / Episode Summary / エピソード概要

    中文:
    这期节目我跟大家聊聊:我做播客这几年到底赚了多少钱?订阅、捐赠、广告赞助我都分享了,也提到 YouTube 还没达到开收益的门槛。其实播客几乎赚不到钱,但让我和世界各地的中文学习者建立联系,这是最美好的收获。

    English:
    In this episode, I talk about how much I’ve actually earned from podcasting—through subscriptions, donations, and sponsorship. I also mention that my YouTube hasn’t reached the monetization threshold yet. Podcasting hardly makes money, but it has connected me with learners worldwide, which is the most rewarding part.

    日本語:
    今回のエピソードでは、ポッドキャストで実際にどれくらい稼いだのかをお話しします。サブスクや寄付、スポンサーについて、そして YouTube はまだ収益化の条件を満たしていないことも触れます。お金にはならなくても、世界中の中国語学習者とつながれたことが一番の収穫です。

    节目简介 / Episode Summary / エピソード概要

    中文:
    这期节目我想和大家聊聊语言考试。刚好这周三我报名了十二月的日语能力考试 JLPT N3,就借这个机会说一说:为什么要考语言考试呢?考试能带来什么样的动力?它的局限性又是什么?学习语言的时候,你会去考 HSK 吗,还是更愿意单纯凭兴趣学习呢?欢迎留言告诉我,你的语言考试故事。

    English:
    In this episode, I share a personal story: I just signed up for the JLPT N3 this December. It made me reflect—why do we take language exams? How can they motivate us, and what are their limitations? When learning a language, would you choose to take an exam like the HSK, or simply study out of pure interest? Feel free to share your own language exam stories in the comments!

    日本語:
    今回のエピソードでは、語学試験について話します。今週 JLPT N3 を申し込んだことをきっかけに、「なぜ語学試験を受けるのか?」を考えてみました。試験はどんなモチベーションになるのか?また、その限界は?皆さんは中国語を勉強するとき、HSK を受けますか?それとも興味だけで勉強しますか?ぜひ皆さんの語学試験の経験もコメントで教えてください。

  • 我是怎么给学生取中文名字的 | How I Give My Students Chinese Names
    Aug 17 2025

    节目简介 / Episode Summary / エピソード概要

    中文:
    这期节目我想和大家聊聊我是如何给美国学生取中文名字的。新学期一开始,给学生起名字是最重要的任务之一。我会先从姓开始,再到名字,既考虑和英文名字的发音相似性,也要确保寓意美好。节目里我还分享了几个具体的例子,比如 Ethan → 毅森,Justin → 继新。希望这期节目能让大家更好地理解中文名字背后的文化和含义。

    English:
    In this episode, I talk about how I give my American students Chinese names. At the beginning of each semester, naming students is one of my most important tasks. I start with the surname, then the given name—making sure the Chinese name both resembles the English pronunciation and carries a positive meaning. I also share specific examples, like Ethan → 毅森 and Justin → 继新. I hope this episode helps you better understand the culture and meaning behind Chinese names.

    日本語:
    今回のエピソードでは、アメリカの学生に中国語の名前をつける方法について話します。学期の始まりに学生に名前をつけることは、とても大切な仕事の一つです。姓から決めて、その後に名を考え、英語名の発音と似ている部分を取り入れつつ、意味が良い漢字を選びます。エピソードでは、例えば Ethan → 毅森、Justin → 继新 という具体的な例も紹介します。中国語の名前に込められた文化や意味を、少しでも理解していただけたら嬉しいです。
