23.06.2022 - Hitze-Welle in Europa

Celebrar lo que la Real Academia Española define como "tristeza melancólica originada por el recuerdo de una dicha perdida", parece bastante contradictorio. Sin embargo, está muy lejos de ser una festividad triste. De hecho, es una de las noches más divertidas y esperadas del año, donde la música y los recuerdos del pasado se convierten en protagonistas.

En este primer episodio de "¡Mirá Vos!" con Victoria y Martin, te contamos todo lo que querés saber sobre esta tradición tan única. ¿Qué es La Noche de la Nostalgia? ¿Cuándo y cómo se celebra? ¿Qué cosas les generan nostalgia a los uruguayos? ¿Por qué es tan especial para nosotros? Además, les compartimos algunos de temones (grandes éxitos musicales) que marcaron generaciones.

Espero que lo disfruten mucho y si quieren aprender más sobre el español y la cultura rioplatense, suscríbanse al podcast para no perderse de nuestros futuros episodios.

¡Mirá Vos!

The Art of War

Tengo notas escritas en papel de ideas, recuerdos, inspiraciones... apuntes por todos lados. En la puerta de la nevera, en el teléfono, entre los libros, en mi mesa de trabajo, en diarios personales y no tan personales, en mi carpeta de poemas... ¡¡¡Por todos lados!!! 

Notas sueltas, igual que las notas que farandulean por el aire cuando un director de orquesta sinfónica alza sus batutas y las notas de los instrumentos surcan el aire sin control.

Bonus Episode 6: 天气可以是多么无聊的话题！（全中）

I’ll go over some words but before that here is a practical thing you can do: Record your own pronunciation to your phone and then listen to my version and compare the two.
I found this to be of use when I got my students right in the class to record their voices and then had them listen – wow – it’s like and ‘aha moment’ for them, a moment of realization, a moment of transformation.
So, here I am – helping you to transform from A to B. Let’s be that Speaker that we dream to B.
