Teacher Joseph's Podcast

At the Supermarket (Christmas week) (with transcript for study)

Hello, Arabic learners and enthusiasts! 
In this episode, I speak about bread which is the equivalent of life in many countries. I talk also about its basic ingredients and how they call it in Egypt.  I hope you enjoy it and learn from it.

Food in Arabic الأَكل بِالعَرَبِيَّة

Bread الخُبز

Apa kabar semua! selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! 
Sekarang di Jepang, panas banget loh! Lebih panas dari Indonesia! Hampir setiap hari saya makan es krim! 
Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Hari Sabtu lalu adalah hari spesial, karena sahabat atau teman baik saya datang ke Jepang. Kami adalah teman dari kecil, dari SD! Terakhir bertemu langsung dengannya, kira-kira 10 tahun lalu! Tapi, meskipun dia tinggal di negara lain, dan saya juga di Jepang, hampir setiap hari kami saling berkirim pesan, jadi hubungan kami selalu dekat. 
Di Bahasa Indonesia, ada ekspresi "Jauh di mata, dekat di hati", yang artinya adalah "meskipun tinggal tidak berdekatan, tapi hati selalu dekat". Di Bahasa Jepang pun ada ekspresi seperti ini ya, 天涯比隣. Kalau di Bahasa Inggris artinya "far from the eyes, but close to the heart". 
Untuk kalian yang punya situasi sama seperti saya, tinggal jauh dari keluarga, pacar atau teman dekat, tidak bisa bertemu mereka setiap hari, jangan khawatir ya! kalau kita terus berkomunikasi, kita akan selalu merasa dekat. Jaga kesehatan, dan sampai jumpa lagi di podcast selanjutnya! Daaah! ^^ 


Akhir minggu

Tom: 嗨，Lily ,马上过节了，我想给我女朋友买个礼物。

  Lily: 哇哦，你也太贴心了，那... 你打算给她买什么礼物呀？

Tom: 嗯... 我打算给她买个好用的坟地。

  Lily:  什么？坟地？嗯...你...怎么...能这样对待你的女朋友啊？

 Tom:  嗯...我希望她的皮肤越来越好，买个好坟地有什么问题吗？

   Lily:  哦... 这样啊，那个叫粉底，不叫坟地。粉底是化妆品，坟地嘛。嗯...坟地...坟地是埋死人的地方。

Tom: Hi Lily, the holidays are coming soon and I want to buy a present for my girlfriend.

   Lily: Wow, you're so sweet, so... what gift are you going to buy her?

 Tom: Hmm... I'm going to buy her a useful cemetery.

   Lily: What? Graveyard? Um... how... how... can you treat your girlfriend like this?

 Tom: Hmm...I hope her skin gets better and better, is there any problem with buying a good cemetery?

   Lily: Oh... Well, that's called a foundation, not a graveyard. Foundation is cosmetic, cemetery. Well... cemetery... cemetery is where the dead are buried.


fén dì→cemetery→坟地
