Привет, друзья! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко!» .
Сейчас начало лета. А это значит, что многие русские едут на дачи.
Дача – это русский феномен, о котором знают все. Можно сказать, что дача – это русское традиционное летнее хобби, а для дачников - вторая работа. Дачники – люди, которые очень любят работать на даче. Пенсионеры обычно живут на даче всё лето.  
Типичная дача - это небольшой дом, в нём одна комната, нет отопления и нет водопровода. Туалета в доме тоже нет. Обычно туалет на улице, недалеко от дома.
Если вы хотите принять душ или помыть руки, нужно принести воды из скважины. Скважина – это отверстие в земле, чтобы брать там воду. Можно принести воду из колонки или из колодца. Скважина – личное имущество человека, а колонка и колодец – общие для всех.
Участок земли обычно небольшой 6 или 8 соток. Это значит 600 или 800 квадратных метров. Что там растёт? Всё! Фруктовые деревья, разные овощи, цветы. И обычно есть газон. 
Надеюсь, вам было интересно. Приглашаю ко мне на курс «Летний интенсив»! До встречи!

По-русски легко!

Understanding Concessive Clauses in Spanish and English

In Spanish, the mood (indicative or subjunctive) in concessive clauses depends on whether the action is factual, non-factual, or counterfactual. For example, the conjunction "aunque" (although) can be used with both indicative and subjunctive moods depending on the context.
Example in Spanish:
Indicative: "Vendré aunque no tengo ganas." (I will come even though I don't feel like it.)
Subjunctive: "Vendré aunque no tenga ganas." (I will come even if I don't feel like it.)
In English, concessive clauses typically use the indicative mood. The conjunctions "although," "even though," and "though" are commonly used, and they don't change the mood of the verb.
Example in English:
"Although he doesn't want to, he will come."
"Even though she is tired, she will finish the work."
So, while Spanish requires a choice between indicative and subjunctive based on the nature of the action, English consistently uses the indicative mood in concessive clauses.

Esta semana me ha comentado una estudiante de EE.UU que hace unos meses, en el quirófano, tras despertarse de la anestesia, empezó a hablar en español y las enfermeras sorprendidas le preguntaban porqué hablaba en otro idioma. Realmente su nivel de español es bueno y su interés por aprender y mejorar es ilimitado.
