Teacher Joseph's Podcast

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

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Tener (to have), although I’m only gonna use it with Yo (yo tengo) and Tú (tú tienes), so it’s really simple!

I’m just gonna talk a little bit so you can practice some listening, and I’ll also ask some questions so you can try answering them out loud. Or feel free to write your answers in the comments, that way I can go over them and give you some corrections!

If the audio is too hard, here are some hints that can help you figure out what I’m saying:

¿Tienes un 🚘?

¿Tienes un 🎸 🎹 🎺 🎻?

¿Tienes una 📷?

¿Tienes 🐱 🐶 🐇🐾?

¿Tienes 🌻?

¿Tienes una 📺?

Let me know if you have any questions, and subscribe to get the new episodes as soon as they come out. ¡Gracias por escuchar! :)

जयपुर शहर भारत संघ के सबसे बड़े राज्य राजस्थान की राजधानी है। जयपुर राजस्थान का सबसे बडा शहर है। जयपुर को पिंक सिटी अथवा गुलाबी नगरी भी कहते है, इसको सबसे पहले स्टैनली रीड ने पिंक सिटी बोला था । जयपुर की स्थापना आमेर के महाराजा सवाई जयसिंह ने की थी। यूनेस्को द्वारा जुलाई 2019 में जयपुर को वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज सिटी का दर्जा दिया गया है जयपुर अपनी समृद्ध भवन निर्माण-परंपरा, सरस-संस्कृति और ऐतिहासिक महत्व के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। यह शहर तीन ओर से अरावली पर्वतमाला से घिरा हुआ है। जयपुर शहर की पहचान यहाँ के महलों और पुराने घरों में लगे गुलाबी धौलपुरी पत्थरों से होती है जो यहाँ के स्थापत्य की खूबी है। १८७६ में तत्कालीन महाराज सवाई रामसिंह ने इंग्लैंड की महारानी एलिज़ाबेथ प्रिंस ऑफ वेल्स युवराज अल्बर्ट के स्वागत में पूरे शहर को गुलाबी रंग से सजा दिया था। तभी से शहर का नाम गुलाबी नगरी पड़ा है। राजा जयसिंह द्वितीय के नाम पर ही इस शहर का नाम जयपुर पड़ा। जयपुर भारत के टूरिस्ट सर्किट गोल्डन ट्रायंगल का हिस्सा भी है। इस गोल्डन ट्रायंगल में दिल्ली, आगरा और जयपुर आते हैं भारत के मानचित्र में उनकी स्थिति अर्थात लोकेशन को देखने पर यह एक त्रिभुज का आकार लेते हैं। इस कारण इन्हें भारत का स्वर्णिम त्रिभुज इंडियन गोल्डन ट्रायंगल कहते हैं। 
आज के एपिसोड के हमारे तीन सवाल 
1 जयपुर को सर्वप्रथम पिंक सिटी किसने कहा ? 
2 पूरे जयपुर को गुलाबी रंग में कब रंगवाया गया ?

Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. It evokes the royal family that once ruled the region and that, in 1727, founded what is now called the Old City, or “Pink City” for its trademark building color. At the center of its stately street grid (notable in India) stands the opulent, colonnaded City Palace complex. With gardens, courtyards and museums, part of it is still a royal residence.
Our three questions for today's episode
1 Who first called Jaipur as the Pink City?
2 When was the whole of Jaipur painted pink?
3 Which three Indian cities are in the Golden Triangle?

The Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened some of its galleries to the public, as part of a trial run ahead of the still-unannounced official opening.

The museum, a mega-project near the Giza Pyramids, which has cost well over $1 billion so far, has opened 12 halls featuring ancient Egyptian exhibits.

Up to 4,000 people have been able to visit each day since the middle of October.

The museum has been under construction for more than a decade, but the official opening has been delayed for various reasons, including the coronavirus pandemic and political problems.

The idea, which was first announced in the early 1990s, was to collect ancient artifacts from around the country in one place.

The government wanted the new museum to be outside of Cairo, the busy capital city, to make it easier to get to.

Some sections have been open since 2022 for limited tours, to test the visitor experience and the museum's preparedness.

More than 100,000 of Egypt's ancient treasures will be displayed in the world's largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.

The grand staircase — six stories high and with a view of the pyramids — and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues.

Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.

All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan from the museum.

One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.

Some of the first tourists to visit said they were impressed by the museum, which Zidan called "a gift to all the world."

He said: "The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history."
