SALESPERSON: Can I help you?
GLORIA: Yes, I’m looking for a sweater — in a size medium.
SALESPERSON: Let’s see … here’s a nice white one. What do 
you think?
GLORIA: I think I’d rather have it in blue.
SALESPERSON: OK … here’s blue, in a medium. Would you
like to try it on?
GLORIA: OK … yes, I love it. It fits perfectly. How much is it?
SALESPERSON: It’s $50. It will be $53, with tax.
GLORIA: Perfect! I’ll take it.

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet 
a customer.
• I’m looking for a here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”
• Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some 
women’s clothing comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.
• Let’s see … An expression used when a person wants to think something over, to 
make a choice or decision, or to look for something.
• I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a 
different” color/size/material, etc.
• Would you like to …? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to …?”
• Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a 
separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”
• How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence 
stress falls on “is” in this question.
• I’ll take it means “I will buy it.”

Day 18: Shopping

Apa kabar semua? 
Tinggal beberapa hari sebelum akhir tahun 2023! Sangat cepat, bukan? 
Bagi kalian, tahun ini tahun seperti apa? Untuk saya, tahun ini adalah tahun yang penuh dengan perjalanan. Saya pergi ke banyak tempat dan dapat banyak pengalaman baru. Bagaimana dengan kalian?

Salah seorang teman saya bilang, di tahun 2023 ini dia kurang berhati-hati dan banyak menyesal. Menyesal adalah "regret" di Bahasa Inggris, dan di Bahasa Jepang adalah 後悔する。"Jadi di tahun 2024, harus sedia payung sebelum hujan!" katanya. 

Kalian mengerti artinya? siapkan payung sebelum terkena hujan. Artinya, lebih baik siapkan hal ini dan itu daripada nanti menyesal. Apa kalian juga orang yang selalu siapkan banyak hal sebelum masalah terjadi? Kalau saya, tergantung kondisi ya… kadang-kadang melakukan hal spontan dan tidak siapkan apa pun itu juga bagus, hanya ikut situasi atau kondisi yang mungkin terjadi. Yaa, hidup hanya satu kali, ayo kita menikmati dengan cara terbaik menurut kita.

Terima kasih banyak untuk para pendengar podcast saya ini, dan juga untuk murid-murid hebat saya di Italki. Kalian sudah memberi saya banyak inspirasi dan motivasi!! 
Selamat menyambut tahun baru! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! 
Happy New Year!  ^^

In this first episode I introduce myself and speak about the languages I know.


TESTO: Ciao, questo è il primo episodio del mio podcast per studenti di italiano intitolato “Poliglotta per passione”. In questo episodio mi presento. Mi chiamo Andrea e sono italiano. Ho 28 anni e sono poliglotta. Mi piace imparare le lingue e ne parlo 14. L’italiano è la mia lingua madre, ma conosco anche l’inglese, il tedesco, il russo, lo spagnolo, il portoghese brasiliano, il rumeno, il bulgaro, lo svedese, il catalano, il francese, il greco moderno e il persiano. Parlo anche lombardo, la lingua locale della regione in cui vivo, la Lombardia. Inoltre sto studiando l’ucraino, ma ancora non lo parlo. Sono insegnante e traduttore. Insegno tedesco in un liceo linguistico, cioè una scuola dove si studiano tante lingue. Sono membro di HYPIA, l’associazione internazionale di poliglotti, e ho un canale su YouTube. Le mie lingue preferite sono il russo e il rumeno. In questo podcast voglio parlare della mia esperienza di poliglotta e darvi consigli su come imparare le lingue. E tu? Quali lingue parli? Lascia un commento. è tutto per oggi. Ci sentiamo nel prossimo episodio!

For someone who is new in doing business, I try to learn as much as I can from the people I know and also the people that I follow. More importantly, I learn from my own mistakes and I have to be aware of my own blinds pots. I hope that this podcast helps someone who is navigating the world of business.
