Episode 06：最近ハマっているもの

In this episode, I explain how to use はねる haneru. The verb means to bounce or something bounces. But we use it in a slangy way! Let's take a look!

Takeshi's 2 minutes Japanese!

How to use slang はねる!  (To bounce)

Vamos a hablar de algo que usais todo el tiempo y que los profesores corrigen a veces, ¿es correcto "Camino POR 30 minutos cada día"? ¿Es Spanglish? Te lo cuento aquí.

Curiosidades sobre el español y su cultura

Por + cantidad de tiempo, ¿es correcto?

El concepto de tiempo es tan insensible como flexible y tan justiciero como inofensivo. Es una realidad que no podemos negar y a su vez, es algo tan etéreo como inexpugnable.
¿Cómo puede ser todo tan contradictorio sobre él, verdad? No estoy seguro de poder contestar a esto, pero sí que lo estoy de que se pueden sentir estas contradicciones especialmente en un entorno natural.
