В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь с Александром Сергеевичем Пушкиным и его сказкой "о рыбаке и рыбке". Он написал эту сказку в 1833 году. 
Похожие сюжеты есть почти во всех сказках мира. 
Спойлер: дедушка ловит волшебную рыбу, которая исполняет желания. Дедушке ничего не нужно, но его жена хочет получить дорогие вещи и стать королевой моря. В итоге, бабушка сначала получает, а потом теряет всё.
Эта сказка о том, что нельзя быть жадным и нужно ценить всё, что у тебя есть сейчас. 


Russian with a tale

А.С. Пушкин и его сказка "о рыбаке и рыбке"

        这个地方的猴子自由自在，会模仿人的动作。比如：拧开矿泉水的瓶盖喝水。它们很强壮，我们要与他们和睦相处。The monkeys in this area are free and imitate human movements. For example, they can unscrew the top of mineral water bottles to drink. They are strong, and we should live in harmony with them.

¿Te consideras una persona puntual?

Si tu respuesta es sí. ¡Genial! Ser una persona puntual es algo muy bueno. Pero si tu respuesta es no, no te preocupes, es más normal de lo que parece. Ojo, no estoy diciendo que es bueno ser impuntual, solo digo que es bastante normal.

De hecho, en mi país usamos la expresión “hora ecuatoriana” para hablar de eso. Y en este episodio te quiero contar sobre eso.

Spanish with Andres T.

La hora Ecuatoriana

It is estimated that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to follow.

So what is an influencer and how do we become one?
An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship with their audience and their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel or technology.

Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the power to persuade people to buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some influencers charging up to $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more and more people are keen to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are five tips on how to do it.

1. Choose your niche
What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.

2. Choose your medium and write an interesting bio
Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium – such as your own online blog, Instagram or Snapchat – is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your niche area. When you have done that, write an attention-grabbing bio that describes you and your speciality area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to follow you.

3. Post regularly and consistently
Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts. The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts are consistent and possibly follow a theme.

I couldn't put it all here so I hope it was enough :)

In this episode we are going to learn 【 Go to the Barber's】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
