Have ever DITCHED somebody? :)
سلام خوبین؟ امیدوارم که حالتون خوب باشه. من امروز اومدم با یه اصطلاح باحال در زبان فارسی "پیچوندن".  معنی تحت‌الفظی این کلمه میشه "to twist"
 ولی خب ما به صورت اصطلاح هم خیلی ازش استفاده می‌کنیم. "پیچوندن" اصطلاحا یعنی کسی رو دور زدن یعنی وقتی با یه بهانه‌ یا دروغ یه کار دیگه می‌کنید. مثلا  "دیروز دوستم من رو تولدش دعوت کرد اما من پیچوندمش" یعنی اینکه دوست شما، شما رو  تولدش دعوت می‌کنه ولی خب شما به هر دلیلی شاید از اون خوشتون نمیاد یا هر چیز دیگه دعوت رو  رد می‌کنید مثلا میگین "عزیزم ببخشید ولی من فردا وقت دکتر دارم" یا "ببخشید فردا خونه‌ی مامان بزرگم دعوتم" یعنی شما با اون بهانه دارین... آره... دوستتونرو  رد می‌کنید، دعوتش رو  رد می‌کنید.
 یا مثلا بعضی وقتا ما میگیم "واقعا فکر کردی می‌تونی من رو بپیچونی؟" اگه بخوام به انگلیسی ترجمه کنم میشه"Do you really think you can ditch me?"
  پس پیچوندن یه همچین معنی ای داره! در کل که کار خوبی نیست ولی خب من این اصطلاح رو به شما یاد دادم امیدوارم که از پادکست امروز خوشتون اومده باشه و تا پادکست بعدی خدانگهدار

Students regularly ask me, "How do I know what comes after a verb?" If a verb takes another verb as a complement, it is usually either a full infinitive or a gerund (e.g., "to do" or "doing").  Bare infinitives (e.g., "do") can only be complements for a small number of verbs, but these verbs are very common.  In this article, I take a look at some verbs that take bare infinitives as complements.

Une révolution commerciale_dictée_transcription

UNE RÉVOLUTION COMMERCIALE 

Dictée

Les villes constituent un centre d’échanges très important. Vers les années mille, le grand commerce se limitait au trafic de produits de luxe réservés à une minorité de riches. Mais en l’espace de trois siècles, du 11e au 13e, les matières premières, les produits alimentaires et les objets fabriqués apparaissent sur le marché et deviennent indispensables à des groupes sociaux plus larges, tels que, par exemple, la bourgeoisie urbaine. On parle alors d'une révolution commerciale. 

Les produits agricoles (principalement le vin et les céréales) et artisanaux (le plus souvent textiles) sont échangés dans des foires locales, puis acheminés vers des foires plus importantes.

Les foires se multiplient dans certaines régions françaises animées par le commerce international : la Flandre, l’Île-de-France, la Champagne. Toutes ces activités artisanales et commerciales s'organisent petit à petit au sein des corporations.

When it comes to memorizing vocabulary, there are several effective techniques you can employ. I am exploring some of them

Background Method:
This technique draws inspiration from the “memory palace” concept. Imagine placing new words or images representing those words in specific rooms within your mental palace. By associating words with spatial locations, you ground them in context. 
Process Words Deeply:
Instead of merely rote memorization, engage with the words deeply. Understand their meanings, etymology, and usage. Create mental connections by linking them to related concepts or personal experiences. 
Associate Words with Mental Images:
Visualize the word’s meaning. Create vivid mental images related to the word. Associating words with images enhances memory retention.
Review Words at Spaced Intervals:
Spaced repetition is a powerful technique. Instead of cramming, review words at regular intervals. Use flashcards or language-learning apps that incorporate spaced repetition algorithms. 
Use Mnemonics:
Create mnemonic devices to remember challenging words. Mnemonics can be acronyms, rhymes, or visual associations. 
Practice with Vocabulary Apps and Games:
Interactive apps and games make learning fun. Explore platforms like Duolingo, Memrise, or Quizlet. Gamified exercises reinforce vocabulary and keep you motivated.
Have a Dedicated Vocabulary Notebook:
Maintain a vocabulary journal. Write down new words, their meanings, and example sentences. Regularly review and revise your notebook. The act of writing reinforces memory.
Immerse Yourself in the Language:
Surround yourself with the target language. Read books, watch movies, listen to podcasts, and follow native speakers on social media. Remember, consistency and creativity are key. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you.
