Fao nos cuenta sobre su viaje a Uganda, su música, su gente y los voluntariados que se pueden hacer. 

Ritmos del mundo

#3 Viaje a Uganda

Yaş otuz beş! yolun yarısı eder.

Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün.

Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher,

Yalvarmak, yakarmak nafile bugün,

Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider.

 

Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var?

Benim mi Allahım bu çizgili yüz?

Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar?

Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz,

Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

 

Zamanla nasıl değişiyor insan!

Hangi resmime baksam ben değilim.

Nerde o günler, o şevk, o heyecan?

Bu güler yüzlü adam ben değilim;

Yalandır kaygısız olduğum yalan.

 

Hayal meyal şeylerden ilk aşkımız;

Hatırası bile yabancı gelir.

Hayata beraber başladığımız,

Dostlarla da yollar ayrıldı bir bir;

Gittikçe artıyor yalnızlığımız.

 

Gökyüzünün başka rengi de varmış!

Geç farkettim taşın sert olduğunu.

Su insanı boğar, ateş yakarmış!

Her doğan günün bir dert olduğunu,

İnsan bu yaşa gelince anlarmış.

 

Ayva sarı nar kırmızı sonbahar!

Her yıl biraz daha benimsediğim.

Ne dönüp duruyor havada kuşlar?

Nerden çıktı bu cenaze? ölen kim?

Bu kaçıncı bahçe gördüm tarumar?

 

Neylersin ölüm herkesin başında.

Uyudun uyanamadın olacak.

Kimbilir nerde, nasıl, kaç yaşında?

Bir namazlık saltanatın olacak,

Taht misali o musalla taşında.

Сегодня пишем отрывок из повести Николая Васильевича Гоголя “Невский проспект” с рассуждениями о том, какое у судьбы бывает чувство юмора.

Делаем как и раньше. Я читаю текст два раза. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали.

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “пятый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis interviews Shweta Ramkumar, a communication coach and founder of Healthy Dynamics,  who helps healthcare professionals from non-English speaking backgrounds become confident, empathetic communicators in English.

Shweta’s passion for healthcare communication began at home, growing up with a doctor mom. Today, she uses that experience to coach international healthcare workers, blending emotional intelligence, cultural understanding, and real-life clinical scenarios with ESL strategies.

They discuss:

The biggest English communication mistakes healthcare professionals make (and it’s not grammar)

Why miscommunication can create emotional stress for both patients and providers

How empathy, trust, and active listening can improve patient care

The powerful results her clients see through one-on-one coaching

Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, medical student, or ESL professional in healthcare, this episode will help you understand how clear, compassionate English can truly change lives, starting with your own.
