#3 - Lietuvos Valstybinės Šventės: Lithuanian National Commemorations

È finalmente arrivato l’inverno e questo fine settimana Jimmy ha deciso di andare a fare spese. A Venezia il tempo è molto umido e freddo. Ogni mattina, quando Jimmy apre la finestra, c’è un sacco di nebbia. Prima di uscire indossa vestiti pesanti: cappello, sciarpa, guanti, maglione, scarpe impermeabili (perché a Venezia c’è sempre un po’ di acqua per le strade) e il cappotto.
Questa mattina è uscito di casa per andare in un negozio di abbigliamento. Appena entra la commessa gli chiede:
“Buongiorno, desidera?”
“Buongiorno, vorrei comprare un maglione caldo.”
“Di che materiale lo vuole?” chiede ancora lei.
“Mi piacerebbe un maglione di lana.”
“Che taglia porta?” gli domanda la commessa.
“Porto la M” risponde Jimmy.
La ragazza va a prendere alcuni maglioni di lana di colori e modelli diversi. Jimmy ne sceglie 3 e poi domanda dove sono i camerini.
Jimmy va nei camerini per provare i tre maglioni. La commessa gli chiede “Come le stanno?” e Jimmy risponde: “Il maglione blu è troppo largo. Il maglione rosso è troppo stretto. Il maglione verde invece mi sta benissimo. Lo compro.”
Jimmy va alla cassa per pagare. “Quant’è?” domanda.
“Sono cinquanta euro. Paga con la carta o in contanti?”
“Pago in contanti. Ecco a lei.” Jimmy paga, saluta e felice va via.

Welcome- Bem-vindos 
For my very first episode, we are going to talk about the differences between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese.




Easy peasy Portuguese

Welcome- Greetings

There's an old English saying that goes: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

But according to a recent study, "late to bed and late to rise" may actually be better for your brain — though researchers didn't check if it does anything for your health or your wallet.

A study published in BMJ Public Health looked at data from nearly 27,000 people who reported how long they slept, and whether they were a "morning lark" — someone who wakes up early — or a "night owl," who sleeps late.

The participants, aged between 53 and 86, also did cognitive tests that checked their reasoning, memory, and how quickly they could process information.

It was found that night owls performed best on the cognitive tests — ahead of those who described themselves as neither morning people nor night people. And morning larks had the lowest cognitive scores of all.

People's bodies have times when they naturally prefer to sleep. And Raha West of Imperial College London, the study's lead author, said that while it's possible to gradually shift your sleeping times, it's very difficult to completely change from a morning person to a night person.

However, she also said the results just show the trend, and not the truth for every individual.

The authors also noted that their results, which focused on older adults, contrasted with past research on adolescents, which found that young morning larks actually had better health and better mental well-being.

Speaking to The Guardian, Jacqui-Ann Hanley of Alzheimer’s Research UK, who wasn't involved with the study, also said it isn't clear if being a morning person leads to poorer cognitive results in older adults, or if the weaker cognitive abilities that come with aging just make people get up earlier.

The study also found that people generally got better cognitive scores if they reported sleeping between seven and nine hours each night.
