CAPITULO 7 : Comer con los suegros 😶‍🌫️🤯 CHAPTER 7: Eating with our parents in law

大家好，欢迎大家来到朱老师的播客。
最近我看了一个新的中国电影，名字叫【长安三万里】，这个电影是关于唐代几位非常有名的诗人的古诗。接下来我想为大家读一读其中我最喜欢的一首诗：
                            【将进酒】
                                ——李白
君不见黄河之水天上来君不见  黄河之水天上来
Can you see the Yellow River decanting from the sky
奔流到海不复回
And racing to the sea never to return?
君不见   高堂明镜悲白发
Can you see the grief of white hair in the mirrors
朝如青丝暮成雪
As dawn's black silk turns to evening snow?
人生得意须尽欢
When life goes well, be joyous
莫使金樽空对月
Never show the moon an empty cup
天生我材必有用
Heaven gave me the talent for a reason
千金散尽还复来
Spend now, riches return in season
烹羊宰牛且为乐
Stew the lamb, prepare the ox, let us feast
会须一饮三百杯
Tonight we'll drink three hundred cups at least
岑夫子 丹丘生
Master Cen, Master Danqiu
将进酒 杯莫停
drink and don't put down your cups
与君歌一曲
I'll sing for you —
请君为我倾耳听
Please lend your ears
钟鼓馔玉不足贵
Bells and jades are not so precious
但愿长醉不复醒
As eternal inebriation
古来圣贤皆寂寞
Ancient sages leave no name
惟有饮者留其名
It’s great drinkers who enjoy great fame
陈王昔时宴平乐
At the table of Prince Chen of old
斗酒十千恣欢谑  
Wine flowed like water
主人何为言少钱
Hosts shouldn't fret over costs —
径须沽取对君酌
Buy more wine and fill those cups
五花马 千金裘
Fine horses, expensive robes —
呼儿将出换美酒
Tell the servant to sell these for wine
与尔同销万古愁
We’ll banish sorrow from this world

希望大家能从这首是个中体会到中国古诗词的美。
谢谢大家，下次见。

How to be a REAL Gentleman

Describe something you did to learn another language.
You should say: 
What language did you learn.
What you did.
How did it help you learn the language.
And explain how you felt about it.





“I’ve always had a great interest, and fascination with  anything related to Japan, especially Japanese manga comics and movies….so, about 2 years ago I decided that I’d try to learn the language, and also made a plan to visit Japan someday. 

Although I’d picked up some Japanese words, and phrases from watching movies and cartoons over the years, I still needed to start learning the language from scratch, and was at sixes and sevens on where to start.  One of my friends who actually studied Japanese in college, recommended a youtube channel to me, which is hosted by a native Japanese teacher, and I decided to give it a shot. 

 The video lessons were wonderful, and I found that I was able to start picking up the language very quickly, from the very first lesson, with the added bonus that it was all free!  The teacher was wonderful, and really helped make learning the language a lot of fun, as well as getting me off to a flying start, and after just a few weeks,  my Japanese started to improve by leaps and bounds.

The time flew by, and after just 6 months, I was actually able to have a basic conversation in Japanese which I felt extremely happy and proud of, and actually got to visit Japan about six months ago, which was absolutely amazing, especially as I was now able to communicate with the locals….all thanks to this amazing youtube channel. 


Thank you …”
