Welkom bij de podcast "Beter Gezegd". Ben je Nederlands aan het studeren en wil je graag oefenen met luisteren? Dan is deze podcast absoluut perfect voor jou!

In deze podcast zal ik me elke week focussen op een verschillend onderwerp. In eerste instantie zal ik proberen om steeds duidelijk en rustig te praten zodat je me altijd kan begrijpen. In elke aflevering staat een ander onderwerp centraal. Interessante onderwerpen die aan bod zullen komen zijn bijvoorbeeld cultuur, een beetje geschiedenis, maar ook veel nuttige tips en weetjes over de Nederlandse taal.

Studenten Nederlands die niet alleen graag hun luistervaardigheden willen oefenen, maar tegelijkertijd ook nieuwe woordenschat of grammaticaregels willen leren, zijn daarom allemaal van harte welkom. Misschien begrijp je niet meteen alles wanneer je voor de eerste keer naar een aflevering luistert, maar dat is normaal! Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat wanneer je regelmatig naar de podcast luistert je zal merken dat je Nederlands langzaamaan ook steeds beter zal worden.

Beter gezegd, ik hoop dat je tijdens je studies Nederlands af en toe eens luistert naar de podcast. Onderaan in de omschrijving van elke aflevering kan je bovendien de transcriptie van de aflevering terugvinden en reacties achterlaten.

Als je vragen of commentaar hebt, mag je me ook altijd een bericht sturen.

Veel plezier met de podcast!

No existe evidencia científica que avale que este mes de septiembre  ocurra efectivamente un sismo de magnitud considerable.

México es un país ubicado en una zona del planeta que tiene alta sismicidad, por lo que tiembla todos los días; generalmente son sismos pequeños e imperceptibles para la población y en promedio cada 3 años se presenta algún movimiento de magnitud relevante. Esta sismicidad se manifiesta especialmente a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico con variaciones normales.


En las costas de Michoacán a las 07:17:49 horas (tiempo local) del jueves 19 de septiembre de 1985, a una profundidad de 15 kilómetros (km), inició la ruptura de una porción de la corteza que originó un sismo de magnitud 8.1. El movimiento del terreno a consecuencia del paso de las ondas sísmicas se percibió en el centro, sur y occidente del país. Ocasionó decesos y daños extraordinarios en Ciudad Guzmán (Zapotlán el Grande), Jalisco y Ciudad de México, ambas ciudades alejadas de las costas del Pacífico 275 km y 400 km de distancia, respectivamente.

La noche del viernes 20 de septiembre, a las 19:37:14 h (tiempo local) en la  costa occidental de Guerrero, ocurrió el segundo evento más importante de esta secuencia, cuya magnitud fue 7.6 y que causó el colapso de muchas estructuras dañadas primeramente por el evento principal. El total de pérdidas se cuantificó en 4 mil 100 millones de dólares, más de 30 mil heridos, 150 mil damnificados, 30 mil viviendas destruidas y más de 60 mil con daños. La cifra oficial fue de 6 mil decesos. 

En los límites de los estados de Puebla y Morelos (8 km al noroeste de Chiautla de Tapia, Puebla) a las 13:14:39 h del martes 19 de septiembre de 2017, a una profundidad de 51 km ocurrió un sismo de magnitud 7.1.

La Ciudad de México, Morelos, Puebla, Estado de México, Guerrero y Oaxaca reportaron 228, 74, 45, 15, 6 y 1 decesos; respectivamente. El costo de las afectaciones se estimó en 62 mil 99 millones de pesos.

Part 2 of 6. 

Jack, a pocket-sized blue book with yellow text and white pages, climbed up the library steps, knocked on the modern glass doors and was let in by the security guard. It was an hour before the library opened to the public. 

“Mornin’ Jack,” said the security guard. “I’ve been dying to see you this morning. Could you whip me up a Frappuccino?” 

Jack’s life swirled around coffee. Not only was it his profession, it was his passion and life’s purpose. The library café had been in his family for six generations. Ever since Jack was capable of walking on his two feet, he was working at the café. In due time, Jack had mastered all aspects of coffee making, from grinding and roasting beans to excellent customer service, and everything in between. His father supervised him closely, making sure their state-of-the-art coffee machine was used properly. When Jack was ready, his mother showed him how to create artistic designs using the frothed milk. 

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” replied Jack. “I’ve got some extra housekeeping to do this morning. I’ll get it to you at opening time.” 

The island café was placed in the center of the public sitting area. It was surrounded by seven medium-sized tables. Today Jack had to prepare a new shipment of Columbian beans by grinding them and storing them away. After doing that, he mopped around the seating area and wiped the tables. Finally, Jack sliced some cheese for his most popular item, the cheese bread rolls. 

Jack switched on his beloved coffee machine and listened to it hum as it warmed up. With his hand on the steam wand, Jack caught his reflection in the pressure and temperature dials of the machine. Looking back at him was a newly-discovered shiny white hair.
