O Natal no Brasil

Сегодня прочтем отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали”, автор Ян Ларри. Это история о том, как один профессор и двое детей (их имена есть в названии - мальчик Карик и девочка Валя) стали очень маленькими и исследовали наш мир с другой стороны, так сказать. Я очень любила эту книжку в детстве.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: це́лый - весь, полный - whole; забы́ть - перестать помнить - to forget; находи́ться - быть, пребывать, иметься где-нибудь - to be, locate; склони́ться - нагнуться, опуститься - to bow down; ста́рый знако́мый - an old acquaintance; стекло́ - glass; пау́к - spider; сра́зу - немедленно, в тот же момент - at once, right away, straight; рассмотре́ть - всматриваясь, распознать, осмотреть - to descry; ко́нчик его ноги - tip of his foot; ко́готь (или когото́к) - ноготь зверя или птицы - claw; гре́бень - crest, comb; у́зел паути́ны - web node; бык - bull; разгляде́ть - то же самое, что рассмотреть - to make out; че́люсть - jaw; взду́тый - swollen; брю́хо - живот животного - belly, abdomen; охо́титься - заниматься охотой - to hunt.

El lunfardo es un conjunto de expresiones usadas en la zona del Río de la Plata, que al emplearse en el habla cotidiana suenan bastante informales. Se comenzó a utilizar en Buenos Aires en el siglo XX y ha tomado palabras de muchas otras lenguas debido a varias inmigraciones europeas. 

Muchos me preguntan cómo es hablar en lunfardo. Y bueno, este argot suena más o menos así: 

En el LABURO no se puede usar esta jerga porque es muy coloquial. Pero sí es muy común escucharla entre CHABONES que son amigos, ya sea por la MATINA esperando el BONDI, o por la noche en cualquier BOLICHE, o en un bar tomando unas BIRRAS acompañando un buen MORFI.
Entender el lunfardo puede ser un QUILOMBO al principio, especialmente si nos invade la FIACA al momento de aprender. Pero si estamos en contacto con cualquier PIBE que nos BANQUE en el aprendizaje y que no sea un CHANTA, aprenderemos más rápido.
Si estamos en Buenos Aires, podremos practicar el uso de esta jerga cuando vamos a MORFAR un CHORIPÁN con amigos, mientras CHAMUYAMOS un rato, hablamos de la GUITA que ganamos LABURANDO, y, si el mesero es un CAPO, también podremos practicar con él. 
Sin embargo, deberemos tener cuidado con los CHORROS en la calle, especialmente al momento de GARPAR, ya que, si bien pueden tener buena PINTA, pueden AFANARNOS el dinero. Si esto ocurre es una MACANA, porque deberemos hacer la denuncia en la estación policial, donde los oficiales siempre están HASTA LAS MANOS y pueden estar un poco CHINCHUDOS.
De todos modos, visitar Buenos Aires y poner en práctica la comprensión del lunfardo es una MASA, y no hay que BAJONEARSE si resulta un poco difícil al principio.

Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Terri Creeden, an Executive Coach, trainer, and facilitator. Terri is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and Dare to Lead Facilitator through the Brené Brown Education and Research Group. During our conversation, we talk about how to get a job while being authentic and vulnerable. Here are some gems from this episode:

"The employer will be most impressed by an authentic person sitting in front of them and not somebody who has canned, formulated responses that they've heard from every other candidate. Let them see who you really are and not who they are hoping you are."

"Anytime we are caught up managing our image, how we look and appear, and come across to somebody else, that immediately takes us right out of authenticity. So you're moving further away from what's really going to win you that interview."

"What leaders really want to see is that they can trust somebody. If you aren't able to say, "I need help, or I can't do that, or I don't know how to do that," they're going to have trouble trusting you." 

Tune in to get more valuable insights from Terri, so you're well prepared for your next job interview! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode.
