You know, before you dive into any new structure of learning, it’s super important to ask all the WHYS. Be curious! Find out the reasons behind a grammatical rule, a sentence structure, or even the way a word is pronounced. Trust me, when you know the reasons why something is presented the way it is, it becomes so much easier to remember and use in conversation and writing.

Think of it like building a house. You need a solid foundation of bricks even though you might just see the pretty, colorful windows. Behind every beautiful house is a strong foundation of bricks, which once laid, cannot be removed. It’s the same with language. Once you know the reasons behind the rules, you’re stuck with them in a good way!

10 dicas para aprender o português de forma efetiva

我想小王子大概是利用一群候鸟迁徙的机会跑出来的。
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a lock of wild birds.
在他出发的那天早上，他把他的星球收拾得整整齐齐，
On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order.
把它上头的活火山打扫得干干净净。
He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes.
他有两个活火山，早上热早点很方便。
He possessed two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning.
他还有一座死火山。
He also had one volcano that was extinct.
他想，“说不定它还会活动呢！”
But, as he said, "One never knows!"
他也把它打扫干净。
So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too.
打扫干净了，它们就可以慢慢地有规律地燃烧，而不会突然爆发。
If they are well cleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions.

火山爆发就象烟囱里的火焰一样。
Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney.
当然，在我们地球上我们人太小，不能打扫火山，
On our earth we are obviously much too small to clean out our volcanoes.
所以火山给我们带来很多很多麻烦。
That is why they bring no end of trouble upon us.
小王子还把剩下的最后几颗猴面包树苗全拔了。他有点忧伤。
The little prince also pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs.
他以为他再也不会回来了。
He believed that he would never want to return.
这天，这些家常活使他感到特别亲切。
But on this last morning all these familiar tasks seemed very precious to him.
当他最后一次浇花时，准备把她好好珍藏起来。
And when he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place her under the shelter of her glass globe,
他发觉自己要哭出来。
he realised that he was very close to tears.
“再见了。”他对花儿说道。
"Goodbye," he said to the flower.
可是花儿没有回答他。
But she made no answer.
“再见了。”他又说了一遍。
"Goodbye," he said again.

En los años cincuenta, ya corría en el imaginario de las autoridades de Ciudad de México la idea de construir un sistema de transporte ferroviario subterráneo, ahora metro, para atender a, los entonces, cuatro millones de habitantes de la capital mexicana. 

Con un tráfico en aumento y un sistema de transporte que se comenzaba a volver insuficiente, la idea de un transporte subterráneo se antojó ambiciosa pero necesaria para la gran urbe latinoamericana. 

Fue hasta 1969 que se inauguró el metro de CDMX. La primera ruta corrió de Zaragoza, en el oriente de la ciudad, a Chapultepec, en el centro.

Medios de aquel entonces describieron al sistema de transporte como “lo más limpio, seguro y eficiente que se haya visto en la capital”. 

En septiembre de 1970, inició operaciones la Línea Azul, de Tasqueña a Tacuba. Siguió la Línea 3, que corrió en su momento genésico de Tlatelolco a Hospital General. 

Actualmente, existen en CDMX 12 líneas del Transporte Colectivo Metro. Algunas de ellas conectan con puntos neurálgicos de la urbe mexicana como el Aeropuerto Internacional de CDMX, el Centro Histórico, Ciudad Universitaria y Toreo. 

Guadalajara también tiene su metro 
En el afán de llevar la vanguardia a Guadalajara, la segunda urbe más grande del país, las autoridades de esta urbe llevaron el metro en 1989. Posteriormente, en 1994, se creó la segunda línea de este tipo de transporte para la ‘Perla Tapatía’. 

Actualmente se encuentra en construcción la Línea 3, que conectará con la Central Camionera de la ciudad.

너에게 감사

사랑하는 사람들 사이에서는
더 많이 사랑하는 사람이
단연코 약자라는 비밀

어제도 지고
오늘도 지고
내일도 지는 일방적인 줄다리기

지고서도 오히려
기분이 나쁘지 않고
홀가분하기까지 한 게임

사랑하는 사람들 사이에서는
더 많이 지는 사람이
끝내는 승자라는 비밀

그걸 깨닫게 해준 너에게
감사한다.
