"Senin, Selasa, Rabu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, Minggu, itu nama-nama hari"

Ketika saya kecil, saya diajarkan lagu ini untuk mengingat nama-nama hari. 
Apa kalian juga memiliki cara unik untuk mengingatnya?
Sejujurnya, ada satu hari yang saya tunggu-tunggu setiap minggu. 
Kalian bisa menebaknya? Ya, benar, hari Jumat!
Setiap kali hari Jumat datang, saya merasa senang karena akan ada dua hari libur, 
Sabtu dan Minggu, untuk bersantai.
Omong-omong, tahukah kalian asal-usul nama-nama hari di Indonesia? 
Mari kita bahas satu per satu!

Pertama, Minggu. 
Nama ini diambil dari Bahasa Spanyol dan Portugis, "Domingo", yang berarti "hari Tuhan". 
Juga, ada pengaruh dari Bahasa Arab "Al-ahad", yang juga berarti "satu", karena merupakan hari pertama dalam seminggu. 

Kemudian, Senin. Diadaptasi dari Bahasa Arab "Itsnaani", yang berarti "dua".

Selasa, Rabu, dan Kamis, semuanya berasal dari Bahasa Arab juga, yang berarti "tiga", "empat", dan "lima" secara berurutan.

Bagaimana dengan Jumat? 
Kata "Jumat" diambil dari Bahasa Arab "Jama'a", yang artinya "berkumpul". Di hari ini, umat Islam berkumpul untuk melakukan sholat Jumat di masjid. Kalian sadar tentang hal ini?

Dan Sabtu, hari terakhir dalam seminggu. "Sabtu" berasal dari Bahasa Arab "alsabt" yang berarti "tujuh", serta dari Bahasa Ibrani "sabat", yang artinya "berhenti bekerja". 

Setelah kalian tahu lebih banyak tentang asal-usul nama hari, sekarang apa kalian punya hari favorit lain? 
Selamat menjalani hari ini ya! ^^

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.......... 

If you'd like to read the rest of the transcript, send me a message on italki and I will gladly send you a copy. Or better still, book a lesson with me now, so that I can help you on your English learning journey.

Die deutschen Dialekte

(A)  Grob geschätzt gibt es in Deutschland etwa 20 Dialekte. Wenn man allerdings genau hinsieht, sind es erheblich mehr, denn die einzelnen Mundarten lassen sich kaum voneinander ABGRENZEN. 
(B)  Es ist jedoch eine Tatsache, dass der Bewohner Hamburgs im Norden den Münchner im Süden nur mit Mühe versteht und dass der Württemberger für einen Film, in dem Plattdeutsch gesprochen wird, vermutlich Untertitel braucht. 

(C)  Sprachforscher beklagen, dass die Dialekte zugunsten des Hochdeutschen mehr und mehr in Vergessenheit geraten. Das ist schade, denn ein Dialekt hat reiche Ausdrucksformen, die auch die Kultur seiner Sprecher WIDERSPIEGELN. Leider ist dieser Niedergang im Zeitalter der Medien und der großen Mobilität der Bevölkerung kaum noch aufzuhalten.

(D)  Interessanterweise stellte sich bei einer UMFRAGE heraus, dass mehr als ein Viertel der Deutschen das „Bayerische“ gerne hört, während „Sächsisch“ auf dem letzten Platz der Beliebtheitsskala der Dialekte landete.
