Why it's important to learn a little bit of the history of the English language in order to understand,  remember and use phrasal verbs correctly. 

The Language Journey

How to Learn Phrasal Verbs

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Ser (to be). That's the verb we use to talk about someone's occupations, origin and title.

The exercise is really simple. I’m gonna say a couple of sentences, but the subject (i.e. the person) is missing. For example, if you hear “am from Colombia”, the subject missing from that sentence would be "I". 

Ready? Here are the sentences:

Soy de Argentina.
Es de Perú.
Eres de Guatemala.
Son de Colombia.
Somos de Chile.
Es doctor.
Soy dentista.
Somos amigos.
Son hermanos.
Eres profesor.

أَمْس فِي الصَّبَّاح خَالِد اِسْتَيْقَظَ بَاكِراً, ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دوشاً وَلَبِسَ مَلاَبِسَهُ.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَضَّرَ الْفَطُور وَثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الَى الْعَمَل. 
بَعْدَ الْعَمَل رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْر.
فِي الْمَساء خَالِد أَكَلَ الْغَذَاء مَعَ صَدِيقَة فِي مَطْعَم, 
ثُمَّ ٍسَاقَ بِسَيَّارَتِهِ اِلَى الْجِيم, وَبَعْدَ الْجِيم رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ.
فِي اللَّيْل شَاهَدَ التِّلِفِزْيُون قَلِيلاً مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ. 
ثُمَّ  أَكَلَ الْعَشَاء فِي الْبَيْت وَأَخِيراً نَامَ مُتَأُخِّراً.

فِي نِهَايَة الْأُسْبُوع الْمَاضِي اِسْتَيْقَظْتُ مُتَأَخِراً وَأَخَذتُ دُوشاً.
ثُمَّ فَطَرتُ قَهْوَة بِالْحَلِيب وَخُبْز بِالزُّبْدة وَالْعَسَل.
عِنْدَ الظُّهْر خَرَجْتُ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ وَذَهَبْتُ مَشِياً / بِالدَّراجَة / بالسَّيَّارَة /
 بالقِطَار / بالدَّرَّاجَة النَّارِيَّة اِلى الحَديقَة.
ثُمَّ فِي الْمَساَء اِلْتَقَيْتُ بِصَدِيق وَشَرِبْنَا شَاياً.
فِي اللَّيْل أَوَّلاً أَخَذتُ دُوشاً, ثاَنِياً شَاهَدْتُ التِّلِفِزْيُون, ثَالِثاً أَكَلْتُ الْعَشَاء وَأَخِيراً نِمْتُ مُتَأَخِّراً.

        我们经常会说：中国的历史有“上下五千年”。那是从“三皇五帝“开始算起的。We often say that the history of China is " From BC to AD, there are five thousand years of time.". That's from the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
        真正有准确年代记载的，是从公元前2146年的“夏朝”开始，到1911年“清朝”结束，大致经历了18个皇朝。The real accurate chronological records, from the "Xia Dynasty" in 2146 BC to the end of the "Qing Dynasty" in 1911, roughly experienced 18 imperial dynasties.


新鲜事儿（Anecdote）

中国历史上的“北魏”

今天看《天天向上》读到了席慕容的《一棵开花的树》，我觉得汪涵老师读的很美。分享给大家。

如何让你遇见我
在我最美丽的时刻
为这
我已在佛前求了五百年
求佛让我们结一段尘缘
佛于是把我化作一棵树
长在你必经的路旁
阳光下
慎重地开满了花
朵朵都是我前世的盼望
当你走近
请你细听
那颤抖的叶
是我等待的热情
而当你终于无视地走过
在你身后落了一地的
朋友啊
那不是花瓣
是我凋零的心
