DIALOGS FOR EVERYDAY USE 🎧📚

Dialogue for Beginners 🎉📚 (Day # 19)

Welcome to Comme se dice?, the podcast that celebrates the Neapolitan language and its rich cultural heritage. In this fourth episode, we dive into the world of the words “Paisà” and “Sciuscià,” terms that narrate stories from an era marked by World War II, the struggles of immigrants, and pivotal historical events such as the Quattro Giornate di Napoli.
Throughout the episode, we analyze the historical context in which these words were born and evolved, highlighting their connection with neorealist films – particularly Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà and Vittorio De Sica’s Sciuscià. By exploring this dialogue between history, cinema, and everyday language, we uncover how “Paisà” and “Sciuscià” have become enduring symbols of resilience, courage, and rebirth, conveying the daily realities of life during times of crisis and change.
This episode is an invitation for anyone interested in exploring the intricate links between language and history, providing insightful reflections on how words can encapsulate entire eras and cultures. Whether you are passionate about history, neorealist cinema, or the Neapolitan language, get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of historical and artistic memory. Press play, relax, and let yourself be carried away by a narrative that unites art, reality, and emotion. Jammo ja!

A Chinese company claims it has built an electric vehicle battery that charges faster than any other.

The company, called Zeekr, says the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds — but only when the car is plugged into one of the company's super-fast charging stations.

It calls this a new charging speed record, although it can be hard to compare the charging speeds of different vehicles because some charging stations do not work as fast as others.

But, for example, Tesla's Model 3 can be charged to about half its range in 15 minutes.

A number of other EVs can boost their range by almost 200 kilometers with a 10-minute charge.

But Zeekr says that in 10-and-a-half minutes its new battery could be charged enough to boost a vehicle's range by about 500 kilometers.

The first of its cars to include the new battery is the 2025 Zeekr 007, which is on sale in China now.

Zeekr says it has already opened more than 500 of its super-fast charging stations in China, and plans to have 10,000 in 2026.

Chinese companies have been busy making EVs, offering customers a large amount of choice — something that people in some other countries, like the US, have been frustrated by.

As well as operating in China, Zeekr began selling its vehicles in the Netherlands and Sweden last year.

It plans to begin operating in Singapore by the end of 2024, and to open showrooms in Japan and South Korea in 2025.
