Season 01 / Episode 14 - Food etiquette in Italy

Muchas personas piensan que los españoles somos muy religiosos. Y aunque la mayoría de nuestras fiestas están relacionadas con el catolicismo, las cosas han cambiado un poco en los últimos 50 años. En este episodio comento como han cambiado la perspectiva y la actitud de los españoles hacia la Iglesia y la religión en los últimos años. 

Sé que este tema es un poco diferente y puede ser un poco polémico, pero espero que te parezca interesante. Después de escuchar el episodio, como siempre, espero tu opinión. Visita mi Instagram y dime qué te ha parecido.

114- La religión en España. 

王老师的中文班来了个留学生，他对中国的汉字非常感兴趣。这天，他上街回来找到王老师，不解的说：“王老师，你们中国人太不谦虚了。”
　　“为什么这么说？”王老师感到惊讶。“因为我看街上有很多大招牌，都是自我炫耀。比如：中国很行，中国人民很行，中国农业很行，中国建设很行，中国工商很行。”
　　王老师听了才知道他把“银”看成“很”了。
An foreign student came to Mr. Wang's Chinese class. He was very interested in Chinese characters. One day, he came back from the street to find Mr. Wang and said incomprehensibly, "Mr. Wang, you Chinese are too modest."

"Why do you say that?" Mr. Wang was surprised. "The big reason is that I see many big signs on the street, all of which are self display. For example, China is very good, the Chinese people are very good, China's agriculture is very good, China's construction is very good, and China's industry and commerce are very good."
After listening, Mr. Wang realized that he regarded "silver" as "very".
