Podcast Learn Spanish

Why should we learn Spanish? PODCAST 001

Buongiorno.
Sono Simona Gentili e questo è il mio podcast “semi-professionale” per chiunque abbia voglia di ascoltare cinque minuti di interviste e parole al vento…. O libere come il vento.
Quello che state ascoltando è il mio ultimo podcast per il 2024 (duemilaventiquattro).
Ho iniziato per gioco. 
Ho continuato per divertimento e per dare sfogo alla mia creatività.
Concludo l’anno con piacere.
Il piacere di avervi incontrato, per lo più virtualmente, ma qualche volta anche di persona. Anche solo una volta.
E il piacere di fare quello che mi piace e di farlo come mi piace.
Non vi chiederò e non vi dirò qual è il bilancio dell’anno che è passato.
Ma vi dirò che la parola del 2024, secondo me, è “DISQUISIRE”.
Non sentite il suono dolce di questa parola? Solo sentendola pronunciare, non vi sentite già meglio? Quale sarà il suo significato?
La rubrica guarda avanti.
In quale direzione, però, ancora non si sa.
Per il momento 
La Rubrica di Simona, e Simona, cioè io, 
VI RINGRAZIANO TANTO
 e VI AUGURANO 
BUONE FESTE E BUON ANNO NUOVO!

PS la canzone “Il cielo è sempre più blu” è di Rino Gaetano.
È del 1975, ma ancora estremamente attuale… sempre secondo me.
