Auto-stop
Ce matin, Poulette, la poule blanche, est partie en ville. Elle voulait s'acheter des bottes.
Le soir tombe, il est temps de rentrer au poulailler. Elle a froid et mal aux pattes avec ses nouvelles bottes!
Au loin, on entend un bruit de voiture. Poulette se met au bord de la route et fait de l'auto-stop avec son aile.
L’auto s'arrête.
- Bonjour, dit Léon, le hérisson, tu veux monter?
- Avec plaisir, je suis fatiguée et j'ai peur de rencontrer le renard, répond Poulette.
- Le renard, il est sur le siège arrière, je le conduis chez le dentiste. Il s'est cassé trois dents. Pas de danger pour toi! Prendre en auto-stop une poule et un renard, c'est rare.
- Et un hérisson qui conduit une voiture, n'est-ce pas bizarre? demande Poulette.

5 dicas para explorar a cultura brasileira

Yayla turizmi, Türkiye'de hem yerel halk hem de turistler için büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Türkiye'nin Karadeniz, Akdeniz ve Doğu Anadolu bölgelerinde yaygın olarak görülen yaylalar, doğal güzellikleri, temiz havası ve serin iklimiyle özellikle yaz aylarında ilgi çekmektedir. Yaylalar, geleneksel yaşam tarzlarını ve kültürel mirası koruma fırsatı sunarken, aynı zamanda sürdürülebilir turizm uygulamaları için de önemli bir alan sağlar. Türkiye'yi öğrenmek ve ziyaret etmek isteyenler için de yaylalar, ülkenin eşsiz doğasını ve kültürel zenginliklerini keşfetmeleri gereken yerler arasında olmalıdır. 

Talk Turkish 

Yayla Turizmi (Highland Tourism)

في أحد أحياء المدينة،
كان هناك مقهى صغير.

ليس مشهورًا،
ولا فخمًا،
ولا يلفت الانتباه.

طاولات خشبية قديمة،
كراسٍ غير متشابهة،
ورائحة قهوة لا تتغير.

عندما بدأت الحرب،
أُغلقت المحال واحدًا تلو الآخر.
الشوارع فرغت،
والأبواب أُقفلت.

إلا هذا المقهى.

في الصباح،
كان صاحبه يفتح الباب كعادته،
يمسح الطاولات،
ويشغّل الغلاية.

لم يكن يفعل ذلك تحدّيًا،
ولا شجاعةً خارقة،
بل عادة.

كان يقول:
“إذا أغلقتُ المقهى،
فماذا بقي طبيعيًا؟”

كان الزبائن قلّة.
رجل مسنّ يجلس قرب النافذة،
شاب يكتب في دفتر صغير،
وعامل يطلب قهوته ثم يرحل سريعًا.

أحيانًا،
كان صوت الانفجارات قريبًا.
فتسكت الأحاديث،
وتبقى القهوة ساخنة.

لم يكن المقهى مكانًا للكلام عن الحرب،
بل مكانًا للهروب منها.

هنا،
يتحدث الناس عن أشياء بسيطة:
سعر الخبز،
مباراة كرة قدم،
ذكريات قديمة.

ومع كل يوم يمرّ،
صار المقهى شيئًا آخر.

صار علامة.
دليلًا على أن الحياة
لم تستسلم بعد.

حتى عندما انقطعت الكهرباء،
أشعل صاحبه شمعة.
وعندما نفدت القهوة الجيدة،
قال مبتسمًا:
“المهم أن نجلس معًا.”

لم يُكتب عن هذا المقهى في الأخبار،
ولم يظهر في الصور.

لكنه بقي مفتوحًا،
رغم كل شيء.

لأن بعض الأماكن
لا تعيش بالجدران،
بل بالناس…
وبالإصرار الهادئ.

المقهى الذي لم يُغلِق رغم الحرب 🇱🇧

Jenna and Max are at a cozy café when suddenly Max gets an email.

Max (staring at his phone, confused):
Hey, Jenna, this guy I’m working with just said, “Give me a shout.” What does that even mean?

Jenna (stirring her coffee):
It just means to contact him.

Max (frowning):
Wait… but “shout” means to yell. So, does he want me to yell his name?

Jenna (laughs):
No, no! He’s not asking you to actually shout. It just means to message him, call him—basically, let him know when you need something.

Max (nodding slowly):
Okay… so, if I say “I’ll give you a shout,” it means I’ll call you?

Jenna (approving):
Exactly! Or text, or email—whatever works.

Max (thinking hard):
Hmm… but what if I really do shout your name? Like—HEY, JENNA!

[SFX: Café customers turning to stare]

Jenna (covering her face, whispering):
Okay, maybe don’t do that in public…

Max (grinning):
Got it. So, if I’m stuck on my project later, I can just say, “Jenna, I’ll give you a shout?”

Jenna (thumbs up):
Now you’re getting it!

Max (pauses, tilting head):
Wait… I have to ask—how do you know all these phrases so well? It’s like English just clicks for you.

Jenna (shrugging, playfully):
Well, let’s just say I found the cheat code.

Max (leaning in, curious):
Cheat code? What, like a secret trick?

Jenna (grinning):
Kinda! I trained with English Teacher Smith on iTalki. It wasn’t just lessons—it was real conversation, real corrections, and now, boom! English feels natural.

Max (raising an eyebrow, impressed):
That actually sounds pretty smart.

Jenna (pulls out phone, taps screen):
Here, see? Just click the profile, book a speaking lesson, and you’ll be talking like a pro in no time.

Max (smirking, clicking on phone):
Alright… I’ll give Teacher Smith a shout then.
(books lesson)
