Reliving Christmas in the 1980s: Nostalgic Traditions, Toys, and Memories!

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Buongiorno, come va?
Buon lunedì.

Sabato sono stata un po’ al mare, con mia zia che è inglese, sua figlia, mia cugina Michelle, e un’amica di mia cugina.

Dopo ore di chiacchiere, questo è quello che ne è uscito fuori.

Italiano autentico, parlato da un’italiana espatriata, un’inglese in Italia, e un’italiana espatriata e tornata.

Invio due versioni dell’audio, perchè mi sono resa conto che non abbiamo parlato proprio un italiano standard.
Una più lenta e una normale.

E la trascrizione e delle domande a cui rispondere.

Tu quale ascolterai?

Mi sembrava interessante confrontare queste tre realtà contrapposte.

A presto,

Simona

TASK 34 - IS DEMOCRACY DEAD? 

私はヨーロッパに住んだこととアジアに住んだことがあるのですが、ヨーロッパ人の美とアジア人の美は異なるところが多いとよく感じます。どちらが良いとか悪いという話ではなく、単純に美というものへの考え方の違いが面白いと思ったので今日はアジア人の美意識、特に日本人女性の美の基準について話したいと思います。

日本のメディアでは【色白】【くっきり二重】【鼻筋が通った鼻】【まつ毛がくるんとしている】【小顔】などの特徴があるとかわいい、美しいとされます。海外から帰国すると日本人は本当に美意識が高いなぁと感じ、驚かされます。身だしなみはもちろん、化粧品やファッションにもこだわりが強く、色々な商品が売られていると思います。また、街を歩くと自分のスタイルを持った方が多くてオシャレだなーと感じることが多いです。日本のファッションに興味がある方は原宿や渋谷に行ってみたり、日本のファッション誌を読んでみることをお勧めします。私の生徒さんでも日本のファッション誌を購読している方がいますが、日本のスタイルは自国のスタイルと違ってとても興味深いと言っていました。私もそう感じます。

¡Hola!  Welcome to Español from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Llamarse (to be called). Basically the verb that we use to talk about people’s names.

The exercise is really short and simple! Your job is to find the mistakes in these sentences (only one of them is correct):

Yo llamo Rafael 
Nosotros nos llamos Pedro y Juan 
Ella se llaman Claudia
Tú te llamas Lucas
Ellos se llama Ana y Sebastián

You can check out the answers here: https://spanishconmar.wordpress.com/2022/03/04/espanol-from-zero-01/

Apps are so common in our day-to-day lives that we don't even think twice about using them. Google Maps, Spotify, Gmail, banking, the list goes on and on.
 
In this episode, we thought it would be interesting to talk about the top apps and explain why we find them so useful!
