Ciao e benvenuti a tutti! 
Per la prima puntata del mio mini podcast ho scelto un’espressione semplice ma amatissima: “Mamma mia!”.
È una frase antica, che nasce dalla tradizione popolare italiana, ma ancora oggi è molto viva e usata in tantissimi contesti.
💬 Spiegazione con esempi
 “Mamma mia” è davvero versatile.
 👉 Puoi usarla quando qualcosa ti annoia o ti dà fastidio:
 — Mamma mia, che traffico oggi!
👉 Puoi usarla per esprimere sorpresa o stupore:
 — Mamma mia, non ci credo!
👉 Puoi usarla anche quando assaggi qualcosa di particolarmente buono:
 — Oh mamma mia, che buono questo dolce!
👉 E perfino per indicare paura o preoccupazione:
 — Mamma mia, che spavento!
In realtà, quello che conta non è tanto la frase in sé, ma l’intonazione. A seconda di come la dici, può cambiare completamente significato.

📜 Curiosità e origini
L’espressione nasce letteralmente come invocazione alla madre, ma anche come richiamo religioso alla Madonna. In passato, infatti, dire “Mamma mia” significava affidarsi alla protezione materna, sia quella terrena sia quella celeste.
 Col tempo, questa invocazione è diventata sempre più comune e quotidiana, perdendo il senso religioso e trasformandosi in una semplice esclamazione di emozione.
Oggi è talmente famosa che persino all’estero “Mamma mia” è considerata una tipica espressione italiana: pensiamo al musical e al film Mamma Mia!, che hanno reso questa frase riconoscibile in tutto il mondo.
🌟 Frase finale
 Insomma, “mamma mia” è un piccolo jolly della lingua italiana: imparalo bene e sembrerai subito più italiano!

Espressione tipica italiana
Usi: sorpresa, rabbia, gioia, paura
Tono della voce = cambia il significato
Da evitare: usarla troppo spesso (può sembrare una caricatura)

Governments across the world are busy encouraging people to buy electric vehicles (EVs) as countries try to meet climate targets.

In some places, customers have been given incentives to buy EVs, making them cheaper than oil-powered cars at the showroom.

But drivers have been wondering whether new EVs will hold their value over time.

It's a topic that has received a lot of attention online. A number of different sites report that in many markets the prices of secondhand EVs are depreciating faster than the prices of oil-powered cars.

Depreciation is to be expected with all vehicles. As soon as a new car is driven away from the showroom, it loses some of its value.

But aging EVs are a little different to aging oil-powered cars — they come with a unique set of challenges.

In the first half of 2023, Car Dealer magazine reported that 29 of the top 30 biggest depreciating used cars were EVs.

The EV market is growing all the time, and while a few years ago there was not enough supply to meet customer demand, that's no longer the case.

Previously, customers looking for an EV might have settled for a used vehicle, but they don't have to anymore.

New models may also promise newer battery technology or longer battery life, causing people to choose a new vehicle over an older one. Perhaps they are also encouraged by those generous government incentives to buy new.

But it might not be all bad news for EV owners who are looking to sell their used vehicles. Writing for Euronews, Geraldine Herbert argues that increased public confidence in EVs will help slow depreciation rates, because people will feel more comfortable buying older vehicles.

In the next few years, the EV market will keep growing as countries end sales of new oil-powered cars, and according to Herbert this means that more EVs will keep more of their value over time.

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語学習者に向けたPodcastです。

さて、今日は大好きなコーヒーの話ではなく、お茶の話です。日本では昔からお茶が人気があります。今の若い人たちは、コーヒーが好きな人も増えているので、もしかしたら、お茶を好きな人は以前よりも減っているかもしれません。

ここでいうお茶は紅茶ではなく、緑茶や麦茶、烏龍茶のことですね。僕の英語の先生は梅昆布茶が好きだそうです。

そして、今僕が1番好きなお茶は、
ほうじ茶
です。

聞いたことありますか？
ほうじ茶（焙じ茶、ほうじちゃ）は、緑茶の一種です。
煎茶や番茶、茎茶を焙煎したものです。焙煎することを、焙じる、ほうじる、とも言いますが、たぶん、ほうじ茶にしか使わないと思います。他に聞いたことがないです。

焙煎しているので香ばしさがあります。
苦みや渋みはほとんどありません。
口当たりはあっさりです。
胃にやさしくて、ご飯を食べる時には良いそうです。

英語にすると、roasted green tea
です。僕は今オンラインコーヒーショップをしていて、自宅でコーヒーを焙煎しています。同じように、ほうじ茶も焙煎したいと考えています。

もしお茶が好き！という方がいましたら、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
