Groundbreaking news today from different news websites in Japan. The country will receive its first batch of vaccines next week. Read more into the next section for more information.
It was reported that there was a shortage of doctors and nurses who are eligible to give vaccinations. There were no follow-up news regarding that, but instead, this is what came up next: the first batch will be sent here next week, and also, there’s a shortage of syringes that can be used for the COVID-19 vaccines. Apparently, there’s only one, if not a few, kind of syringe that can be used with the vaccine. Japan’s plan would be the same as for other countries, they will first start with frontliners and medical staff, followed by the elderly, then people with preexisting conditions, then everyone else.

If watching horror Let’s Play videos isn’t your thing, perhaps you might like ProZD’s channel. Recently, he’s been rating a lot of snacks and food on his channel and it’s interesting to find out what he thinks, as well as what foreigners think of Japanese snacks. Also, lately, he’s been rating Pokemon from different generations, so I think it’s good listening practice!

The English word calligraphy is derived from the Greek words kallos, meaning “beauty,” and graphein, meaning “to write.”
calligraphy という英単語は、ギリシャ語の「美」を表す kallos と、「書く」を意味する graphein に由来します。
From the time when humans first began to write, they desired to do so with visually appealing strokes,
人間は、最初に書くことを始めたときから、視覚的に魅了するような線を用いて書きたいと望んでいました。
and calligraphic skill has always been valued in many different cultures, especially as a way to convey the importance of holy texts, royal decrees and other treasured documents.
カリグラフィーのスキルはさまざまな文化において古くからずっと高く評価されています。特に、聖典や国王令といった大切な書類の重要性を伝える手段として。

Today’s Youtube Recommendation:
I hear more and more people are now into watching “Let’s Play” videos and I think it’s a great way to unwind on a chill weekend. Personally, I watch them for two reasons: Either I’m too scared to play a horror game, or there’s a video game I’m not good at and in order to be better at it, I watch someone else play. For this week, I recommend “ManlyBadassHero”‘s channel. He has a smooth voice and he mostly plays horror games, so for me, there’s a good balance.He uses easy to understand words and his speaking speed is not very fast, so I think it’s good to learn from watching his videos!
