Episode 1: There is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems

🇮🇹🌺🇵🇹 Una data, due storie, un solo significato: libertà. Il 25 aprile è molto più di un giorno festivo. In Italia è il giorno della Liberazione: la fine della dittatura e della guerra. In Portogallo è il giorno della Rivoluzione dei Garofani: una rivoluzione pacifica che ha cambiato tutto… con dei fiori. Due Paesi diversi, due momenti storici lontani… ma la stessa emozione: tornare a respirare libertà.🎙️ In questo episodio di Puro Parlare scoprirai cosa è successo davvero il 25 aprile 1945 in Italia; cosa è successo il 25 aprile 1974 in Portogallo; cos’era una dittatura e cosa significa polizia politica; la storia vera dei 🌺 garofani 🌺. 
✨ Un episodio per praticare l'italiano in modo naturale… e per capire meglio il mondo.

🎨I enjoy the arts and am concerned about climate change☁️. But I find it unbelievable that some people used sabotage techniques to gain attention for environmental conservation. We will debate values and morals and acquire language related to the environment, social movements, and values. Don't miss the program today! Happy weekend!
🎨我很喜欢艺术，也很关心气候变迁☁️，但没想到，有人利用破坏艺术来吸引人注意，要求环保！今天我们可以学到有关环境资源、社会运动的生词，也会讨论价值、道德的问题。不要错过今天的节目喔！周末快乐～
