Raymond Carver's Magic Trick | Episode 2 | Tiny Talks Podcast

Dear Russian language learners!

If you travel to big cities in Russia - Moscow, Saint Petersburg or my native hometown Ekaterinburg (by the way it's absolutely beautiful and clean) you will need to buy a ticket (or a token) to use it. When buying a metro ticket you will absolutely need to use Russian language. 
Piece of advice: check online what type of tickets exist at the moment, plan which one is best for you and go exploring! 

Ваш преподаватель и поклонница поездок на метро,
Елена

Mika’s natural Japanese Podcast  for N3–N4

#1 にほんごでじこしょうかい Let's do self introduction in Japanese (for Elementary level)

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是中国的宠物经济。近十年来，随着中国人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人开始饲养宠物。中国的宠物经济也越来越蓬勃发展，形成了涵盖宠物方方面面的“一条龙”服务。包括宠物饲养场、宠物医院、宠物美容院，宠物寄养点甚至宠物殡葬服务。养宠大军的不断扩大，使得宠物经济前景广阔。

在中国，尤其在大城市，单身人群越来越多，许多独居的年轻人或是老年人喜欢养一只猫咪或者狗狗作伴。宠物医生、宠物美容师、宠物摄影师，宠物寄养师、训犬师，宠物派对、宠物spa馆，甚至宠物瑜伽纷纷走俏。

有句话说的好，爱ta就爱一辈子，因为ta的生命中只有你。动物也通人性，养他就给他一辈子的承诺，不要抛弃、遗弃你的猫咪或者狗狗。这是我认为盈利的宠物经济背后，最重要的部分。你说呢？

欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

"People Fixing the World" whilst learning English with Teacher Eve

Can building a clinic really save a rainforest?

After a long break, we’re back—and what better way to kick things off than with a true Edmonton radio legend?

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Evans—longtime morning show host on K-97 and the voice behind the Reluctantly... podcast—for a real conversation about confidence, mistakes, and staying true to yourself when the pressure’s on.

We talk about how Terry got started in radio, some of the wild things that happen live on-air, what it really means to be confident (especially when you're nervous), and how to handle those tough, awkward conversations at work. It’s honest, funny, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to hear—especially if you’ve ever held back from speaking up because you were afraid of making a mistake.

Whether you’re learning English, trying to be more confident, or just love a good story from behind the mic—this episode is for you.
