¡Aquí está el tercer capítulo de mi viaje a México! Empiezo a viajar solo y llego a Guadalajara. Allí hago una excursión a una pequeña ciudad llamada Tequila (donde me comí unos chilaquiles y bebí palomitas).
¿Te vienes conmigo?

México III - Guadalajara (¡Y TEQUILA!)

Het Nederlands is niet altijd even gemakkelijk te vertalen naar een andere taal. Het meest bekende voorbeeld is misschien het woord ‘gezellig’ waarvoor in het Engels wel eventueel ‘cosy’ gebruikt kan worden, maar niet in elke context. In de aflevering van vandaag gaan we kort spreken over een ander moeilijk te vertalen woord, namelijk ‘gunnen’.

Onvertaalbaar Nederlands: Gunnen

Y llegamos al episodio número 8 de la serie 'HABLEMOS DE VIAJES'. Como pueden ver, es un tema que me encanta, siempre tengo algo más para decir, opinar, compartir y debatir con ustedes.

En esta oportunidad, voy a estar enfocándome en el aspecto de las relaciones que creamos cuando viajamos. Los amigos que nos hacemos (o no) por el mundo. ¿Estamos abiertos a nuevas relaciones humanas cuando estamos lejos de casa? ¿Nos interesa generar contacto real con otras personas de culturas diferentes?

Charlemos un poco de eso, ¿estás listo/a?

DALE PLAY!

Hablemos de viajes, parte VIII

先週ドイツに帰ってきました。成田空港からフランクフルト空港までの直行便だったのですが、14時間の長いフライトでした。おかげで映画を３本見ることができました。ちなみに、ドイツから日本に帰るときは中国上空を飛ぶルートだったのですが、ドイツに戻るフライトはアメリカ上空を飛ぶルートでした。つまり私はこの2回のフライトで地球をほぼ一周したことになります。
飛行機を降りた瞬間、ドイツの暑さに驚きました。ヨーロッパに熱波が来ているとは聞いてましたが、ここまで暑いとは想像していませんでした。事実、金曜日と土曜日は日本よりも気温が高く、日中は30度を超えていました。今週は気温が下がり、とても涼しくなりました。
もうドイツに帰って来てから1週間経つのですが、まだ時差ぼけがあるので、夜10時ごろにはとても眠くなって寝てしまいます。
みなさんは長時間のフライトの時、飛行機の中でどのように過ごしますか？
時差ぼけにならないためにしている対策はありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えて下さい。

Ever found yourself pondering the difference between 'these' and 'those'? Join Smith as they unravel this common linguistic puzzle. How can understanding these distinctions enhance your communication? Let's dive in. In this insightful conversation, Smith delves deeper into the essence of 'these' as denoting objects or individuals in close proximity, and 'those' as referring to things or people at a distance. They provide relatable examples, like 'Are these your keys?' and 'Can you pass me those books?' to solidify comprehension. By the end of this discussion, learners will wield 'these' and 'those' with confidence, enriching their language precision in day-to-day interactions.

Swedish furniture company IKEA has opened a new store.

There's nothing strange about that. But wait a minute — the new store is inside a video game. And it's paying real people to work there!

IKEA advertised for 10 positions in a virtual store it has opened in Roblox — and got more than 178,000 applications!

Roblox is a popular online gaming platform that lets users play games and create their own.

IKEA has created The Co-Worker Game on the platform. And it needed some employees.

At the start of June, IKEA began looking for people aged 18 and over in the UK and Ireland to work as paid members of staff at the in-game store.

It said staff would help customers, and would be able to get promoted and move departments, just like in real life.

The company said it wanted to show that it does things a little differently.

Wes Davis from technology website The Verge called it a "weird" but "harmless" idea.

He said he'd never heard of other companies paying people to work in a game, but added that US company Walmart has already created a game on Roblox.

IKEA said its employees would be paid a little over $16.50 per hour during their work-from-home shifts, which is about the same as the company's other workers get paid in the UK.

The store opened on June 24. It's not clear how long the workers will be employed for, although the company said the positions would be on a "limited contract."

It also said anyone who didn't get a job could still experience the virtual store and win in-game prizes.
