Introduction (Intermediate level)

À la découverte des Hautes Pyrénées

Bienvenue dans un nouvel épisode d'Occitanie : Terre de soleil et de richesses ! Cette semaine, nous plongeons au cœur des Hautes Pyrénées, une région emblématique de notre belle Occitanie. Je suis  Cathy , votre guide pour cette aventure.

Les Hautes Pyrénées, c'est une terre de contrastes où se mêlent majesté des sommets et douceur des vallées. Je vous emmène avec moi à la découverte de cette région montagneuse à travers une randonnée épique jusqu'au sommet du Pic du Midi, où la vue panoramique à couper le souffle vous laissera des souvenirs impérissables.
Avant de partir à l'aventure dans les Hautes Pyrénées, assurez-vous d'être bien équipés. Prévoyez des vêtements chauds et imperméables, car le temps en montagne peut être changeant. Consultez les bulletins météorologiques et les conditions d'enneigement si vous prévoyez de pratiquer des sports d'hiver. Et surtout, respectez les consignes de sécurité en montagne et ne vous surestimez pas.

Au cours de votre séjour dans les Hautes Pyrénées, ne manquez pas de visiter le Parc National des Pyrénées, où vous pourrez observer une faune et une flore exceptionnelles. Faites une halte à Lourdes, célèbre pour son sanctuaire marial, et laissez-vous envoûter par la beauté des paysages autour du lac de Gaube. Et pour les amateurs de sensations fortes, ne ratez pas l'occasion de descendre les rapides tumultueux de la rivière Gave en rafting.

Voilà qui conclut notre exploration des Hautes Pyrénées. J'espère que cet épisode vous a donné envie de partir à la découverte de cette région exceptionnelle. Rejoignez-nous bientôt pour un nouvel épisode d'Occitanie : Terre de soleil et de richesses. En attendant, je vous souhaite de belles aventures dans les Hautes Pyrénées et au-delà !

Beyond Borders: Immersing in Syrian Culture

The history of Damascus

“I’d really like to participate in a drawing contest, which is organised by my university every year, and the first three prize winners actually go forward to a national drawing contest. I wasn’t so into drawing over the years, but I found that during all the covid lockdowns that it was a great way to pass the time, and really helped me from going stir crazy stuck at home every day during the numerous lockdowns we had.

 

I recently showed some of my friends a few of my sketches, which are mostly landscapes, and they were very complimentary, and suggested that I enter a competition, which gave me a boost of confidence. 

I imagine that the  competition would be pretty stiff for this contest, but i feel confident that i’ve really developed my skills enough over the past year or so, and with my friends and families encouragement have been able to get the nerve up to show off my drawing skills in public.

 

I guess the main reason i’d like to take part in this contest is that i’ve really grown to love drawing, and feel it would actually be a lot of fun to enter, as well as giving me a new challenge which i think i’m now ready for. Another reason is of course the chance of winning a nice prize, and maybe even having my drawing going forward to the national contest, which would really be amazing.

 

Thank you…. “

Theory and practice are both important. We need knowledge and we also need experience. In this podcast, I will discuss further about this topic by giving some examples as well.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの13回目です。まだ５月ですが、朝や昼の日差しが強くなってきました。手術の傷は塞がってきました。まだ運動はできません。午後にダンベルとスクワットをしてみたら、途中でお腹が痛くなってきたのでやめました。髪が伸びてきたのでそろそろ切りたいです。先週大学のクラスの申し込みを終わらせました。

Hello, this is episode 13 of season 2 of my podcast. It's only May, but the morning and afternoon sun is getting stronger. My surgical wounds have healed. I can't exercise yet. I tried to use some dumbbells and do some squats in the afternoon, but my stomach started hurting halfway through, so I had to stop. My hair is getting long and I want to get it cut soon. I finished registering for university classes last week.

今日は久しぶりに買い物に行きました。買い物といっても、オンラインで買おうと思っていた服を試着しに行っただけなので、実際に買い物をしたわけではありません。街には観光客や若い人がたくさんいて、平日なのにとても混んでいて驚きました。そういえば今日はゴールデンウィークでした。どこの店もセールやキャンペーンをしていました。買おうと思っていた服は写真のイメージと違ったので、他のにすることにしました。家に帰ってから、綿のパンツとTシャツをオンラインで買いました。

Today I went shopping for the first time in a while. I say shopping, but I just went to try on some clothes I was planning to buy online, so I didn't actually do any shopping. I was surprised to see so many tourists and young people in the city and it was very crowded even though it was a weekday. That reminds me, today was Golden Week. All the shops were having sales and promotions. The clothes I was going to buy were different from the image in the picture, so I decided to buy something else. When I got home I bought some cotton trousers and T-shirts online.

そういえば最近の授業で、日本語の「パンツ」のアクセントの違いについて話しました。日本語でパンツというと、ズボンと下着の二つの意味があります。私が今言っているのは、ズボンのほうのアクセントです。下着のアクセントは、パンツです。パンツ（上昇）とパンツ（下降）です。現代人が普段着ている服は西洋文化のものなので、日本語でもほとんどがカタカナです。それに合わせて、服の素材もカタカナで表現することが多いです。たとえば、「綿」や「麻」は、「コットン」や「リネン」と表記されていることがあります。どちらも同じ意味です。私は綿の服が好きです。
