3 minutes Italian

Mettere il bastone fra le ruote

قَرَارَات الحَيَاة غَالِبًا بِتْشَكِّل صُورِة المُسْتَقْبَل.
وكِل قَرَار بْيِحْمِل عَوَاقِب, سوَاءًا كَان لَفَتْرَة قَصِيرَة أو طَوِيلِة.
القَرَارَات الصَعْبِة بِتْقَوِي وبِتْزِيد صَلَابِة الشَخْصِيِة.
بس بَعض القَرَارَات بْتِطَلَّب تَضْحِيِة بَس مُمْكِن تْأَدِّي للنُمُو.
مُوَازَنِة المَنْطِق و المَشَاعِر هي مُفْتَاح أَخْد القَرَارَات الصَحِيحَة. 
ومو عَيب لو الإِنْسَان طَلَب نَصَائِح مِن أَشْخَاص عِنْدهُم خِبْرَة أَكْبَر.
عَلَى كُلِّ, كِل قَرَار, صْغِير أو كْبِير, بِيسَاهِم فِي تَطْوِير النَفْس
Life decisions mostly shape the future's image.
every decision carries consequences, it was either for a short or a long period.
The difficult decisions strengthen and increase the personality toughness.
But some decisions demand sacrifice but they may lead to growth.
Balancing the logic and the emotions are the key for making the correct decisions.
and it’s not a shame if the person requested advice from people who have more experience.
However, every decision, small or big, contributes to self improvement.

Hoy comenzaremos hablando de un asunto que para nadie, local o extranjero, resulta desconocido y mucho menos irritante: la música. Pero no cualquiera, no, no, no, la música latinoamericana. La música en América Latina es increíblemente diversa y rica, con muchos géneros que tienen orígenes distintos y fascinantes. Yo me atrevo a decir que es un continente bastante musical influenciado por el mestizaje y el encuentro de culturas.

En este primer episodio de una serie relacionada con este tema conoceremos los más representativos, eso sí, en el blog espanolcontodo.com encontrarás algunos detalles adicionales y melodías icónicas de los diferentes tipos y países, así como videos de los máximos exponentes de cada estilo. Pero por aquí empezamos.

La música en América Latina (Salsa, Merengue y Bachata)

Amanda: Hi Maria!
Maria: Oh, hi Amanda.
Amanda: You look a bit worried, are you all right?
Maria: I’m exhausted. Yesterday’s homework took me all evening. It’s probably going to double next year, isn’t it?
Amanda: Probably. My older brother has to write long essays for his English literature course. But we’ll have fewer subjects to study. Have you chosen your courses yet?
Maria: No, when’s the deadline?
Amanda: We have another month, but the school emailed us all the list the other day. I have it on my phone.
Maria: Ooh, let’s have a look, then.
Amanda: Here it is. Oh, look, the Spanish and biology timetables clash. I won’t be able to do both.
Maria: Would you do that, though? Languages and science don’t go together, do they?
Amanda: Well, you wouldn't think so, but actually, my aunt is a research scientist, and a lot of European universities work together on projects. She’s working on a project with a university in Rome, one in Germany, and one in Portugal.
Maria: Is it a biology project?
Amanda: No, she’s a chemist. They’re working on a solution to clean up deadly pollution in rivers and lakes.
Maria: That sounds so cool and really fascinating.
Amanda: It really is. She gets to visit colleagues in different cities sometimes, and she gets her work translated into lots of different languages. She wishes she had learned some German, though, so she could communicate better with her German research partners. She understands Portuguese and Italian, but German, not so much.
Maria: When did she learn Portuguese and Italian?
Amanda: I think she did some of her university degree in Lisbon and some in Rome.
Maria: Studying chemistry in different languages?
Amanda: Yes, she loved it!
Maria: So, you’re kind of following in her footsteps, then. Science and languages. You could be a biologist in Spain.
Amanda: Yep, or at least study there, or South America.
Maria: So, what are you going to do about the timetable clash?
Amanda: I think I’ll talk to the dean.
