Merhaba Türkçe 

Tenses in Turkish: Past, Present and Future

An anecdote is a quick story about something of interest, usually with a singular theme or lesson. Anecdotes are no different than the stories told among friends, but when they’re used in literature, they can accomplish more than merely passing the time. 


Types of Anecdotes: 
Although there is no formal grouping, anecdotes tend to fall into the categories of 
cautionary, 
characterizing, 
humorous, 
inspirational, 
reminiscent. 

However, these are not mutually exclusive and can be blended together

내가 가장 좋아하는 꽃 🌸

내가 가장 좋아하는 꽃은 벚꽃입니다.
봄이 오면 나무에 작은 꽃들이 피기 시작합니다. 벚꽃은 분홍색이고 아주 예쁩니다.

나는 봄이 되면 친구들과 함께 벚꽃을 보러 갑니다. 공원이나 강변에는 많은 벚꽃이 있습니다. 벚꽃 아래에서 우리는 사진을 찍고, 함께 웃으며 즐거운 시간을 보냅니다. 때때로 돗자리를 깔고 앉아 맛있는 음식을 먹기도 합니다.

바람이 불면 벚꽃잎이 하늘에서 천천히 떨어집니다. 마치 눈이 내리는 것처럼 아름답습니다. 그 순간이 너무 좋아서 나는 오래오래 기억하고 싶습니다.

벚꽃은 아주 짧은 시간 동안만 핍니다. 그래서 더 소중하고 특별하게 느껴집니다. 꽃이 져도 나는 벚꽃을 다시 기다립니다. 내년 봄이 오면 또 볼 수 있기 때문입니다.

벚꽃을 보면 기분이 좋아지고, 마음이 따뜻해집니다. 그래서 나는 벚꽃을 가장 좋아합니다. 여러분은 어떤 꽃을 좋아하나요? 😊

My Favorite Flower 🌸

My favorite flower is cherry blossoms.
When spring comes, small flowers start to bloom on the trees. Cherry blossoms are pink and very beautiful.

When spring arrives, I go to see cherry blossoms with my friends. There are many cherry blossom trees in parks and along the riverside. Under the cherry blossoms, we take pictures, laugh together, and have a great time. Sometimes, we sit on a picnic mat and eat delicious food.

When the wind blows, cherry blossom petals slowly fall from the sky. It looks as beautiful as falling snow. I love that moment so much that I want to remember it forever.

Cherry blossoms bloom for only a short time. That is why they feel more special and precious. Even after the flowers fall, I still look forward to them. When spring comes again next year, I can see them once more.

Seeing cherry blossoms makes me happy and warms my heart. That is why I love cherry blossoms the most. What is your favorite flower? 😊

Sometimes our dreams can be a source of happiness but also mental and physical exhaustion.
I learned the hard way that rest is important for mental and physical health.
I learned to put my mental and physical well being as a priority so that I give out a better energy when I talk to people. This podcast today is heartfelt and a side of me that you do not usually hear.
