My Levantine Arabic Diary 

My Journey to Levantine Arabic | Episode 1

„ö“ ist besonders wichtig, wenn man zwischen Indikativ und Konjunktiv II wechseln möchte. Vor allem beim Verb: konnten - könnten

Die richtige Aussprache klingt im Englishen eigentlich wie das Wort Vogel „bird“. Man könnte das Wort auch wie  „börd“ aussprechen. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena öffnete fröhlich die große Holztröte. „Können wir morgen über die Brücke stöbern?“, tönte es plötzlich. Überrascht schob Lena die blöde Tröte zurück ins Körbchen. Ihr Löwe, der flauschige Stofflöwe, nickte. „Natürlich, Löwi! Aber vorher müssen wir flöten üben.“ Lena stöpselte den roten Kopfhörer an und drückte auf „Play“. Flötentöne flossen fröhlich durchs Zimmer. „Höchst motivierend!“, dachte Löwi, rollte sich zusammen und döste ein. Lena, glücklich über Löwis Geduld, spielte weiter. Doch plötzlich ertönte ein lauter Knall – das Stöpselgerät explodierte! „Blöd gelaufen!“, murrte sie, zog die Decke über Löwi und schlief ebenfalls ein.

Cuando sientes que no avanzas en español: cómo recuperar tu motivación y volver a brillar

In this episode we are going to learn 【Greeting】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text. 
--------------------------------------------------

打招呼 Greeting （Beginner）

Netflix now has 10 million subscribers in Japan, according to the streaming company.

It got to that number during the first half of 2024, so it may be even higher by now — and it's double the number of subscribers Netflix had in the country four years ago.

It's believed that new Japanese shows on the platform — including Tokyo Swindlers, The Queen of Villains and The Boyfriend — have helped the streaming service get more subscribers.

"Japan in particular is a country which wants to see a lot of its own content so we strongly feel the need to produce it," said Kaata Sakamoto, Netflix's vice president of content for Japan.

He added that the company wants to produce more content that will be popular with people in Japan, including more sports and comedy shows.

Subscribers around the world have also been enjoying Japanese content on the platform. It's the third-most-watched non-English-language content on Netflix, after Korean and Spanish. And Japanese anime shows and movies have been watched more than 1 billion times on Netflix in the last year.

Sakamoto said there are plans to make more anime for the platform, but he wants to find "stories that have never been told before."

Netflix first came to Japan in 2015. In 2023, it was the most popular streaming service in the country, with about 22% of the market share.

Around the world, Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers.
