En las vacaciones de invierno (B1)

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)

En el episodio de hoy hablo de cultura española, y de algo que puede causar un choque cultural cuando visites España si en tu país no es algo común. Hablo de las palabras afectivas en el día a día, donde las puedes escuchar y quien las suele utilizar. Y el límite con el acoso callejero que no es lo mismo y está penado.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes este episodio, si es así, ¡no te olvides de dejar una valoración! Y, dime, ¿qué piensas de esto? ¿En tu país también se usan este tipo de palabras para ser amable?

ไทยทีละนิด Thai Tea La Nid - EP.3 - Have You Eaten Yet? 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Thai- T La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) Podcast. This is the episode 3 with me, Om-am.

In Thailand, after saying “สวัสดีครับ/สวัสดีค่ะ”, we often greet each other by asking “กินข้าวหรือยัง” or “กินข้าวรึยังคะ” (รึยัง or หรือยัง have the same meaning) “กินข้าวหรือยัง” means “Have you eaten yet?” 

In Thailand, especially in the past, we normally eat rice. That’s why we say “กินข้าว” when we have a meal even we might eat something else. Haha.

And you can reply back by saying “คุณกินแล้วค่ะ” or “เรียบร้อยแล้วค่ะ” if you have already eaten. And “ยังไม่ได้กินค่ะ” or “ยังเลยค่ะ” if you haven’t eaten anything. 

Now, let’s take a looks at some more phrases about this topic:

ข้าวเช้า - breakfast
ข้าวกลางวัน - lunch
ข้าวเย็น - dinner

So “คุณกินข้าวหรือยังคะ”?

If you want to learn more Thai and have fun speaking Thai, feel free to message me. And don’t forget to follow me for some more tips. 😊

Bye-Bye. Sa wat dee ka.

Thai - Tea La Nid (ไทยทีละนิด) - EP.3 - Have You Eaten Yet? (with transcript for study)

If there is one basic success principle in life that people must know is that," you attract who you are." I was listening to  a  podcast of Jim Rohn and she said that attractive people go with attractive people, successful people go with successful people. This means that you attract who you are. If you are attracting the wrong people, you must assess who you are and also invest in who you are.

【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は7月1日月曜日、皆さん、「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は信号機の色についてお話しします。信号機は、道を安全に歩いたり、安全に車が走るために道にあるものですね。

信号機の色、知ってますか？

信号機の色は青と赤と黄色です！でも、青の信号は実際には緑色に見えますよね？なぜ日本では信号の色を「青」と言うのでしょうか？今日はその理由について詳しくお話しします。

まず、信号機の色について確認しましょう。
信号機には三つの色があります：
	•	赤：止まれ
	•	黄色：注意
	•	青：進め

では、どうして青信号は実際には緑なのに、青信号と呼ぶのでしょうか？実は、これは日本語の歴史と関係があります。

昔の日本語では、「青」という言葉は今より広い意味を持っていました。青という言葉は、今の「青」と「緑」の両方の意味があります。

例えば、「青りんご」という言葉があります。青りんごは実際には緑色ですね。でも、昔から日本語ではこれも「青」と呼んでいます。また、「青菜（あおな）」も緑色の野菜のことをいいます。

さらに、「青々とした木」という表現もあります。変に思えますが、変ではありません。これは、木の葉がとても緑で元気が良いことを意味します。例えば、「青々とした木々が広がる森」という風に使います。このように、緑色のものを「青」と表現することは、昔から日本語でよく見られることです。

ですから、信号機の緑色も「青」と呼ばれるようになったのです。

ここで、皆さんに問題です。なぜ日本では信号の緑を「青」と呼ぶのでしょうか？
	1.	昔の日本語では、青という言葉にも緑の意味が入っていたから
	2.	信号機の色が昔は青だったから
	3.	信号機の色を決める人が間違えたから
正解は「1. 昔の日本語では、青という言葉にも緑の意味が入っていたから」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。信号機の色についての話、楽しんでいただけましたか？信号機を見るたびに、今日のお話を思い出してくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

Problems with tenses - Mistakes with DID and DOES

Different students learn better in different ways, and it's important to find a way to study that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help you study better.

Make a plan
Decide when, where and for how long you are going to study. If you decide what you need to get done every time you study, then it will be easier to achieve your goals. Also, if you do smaller amounts of work regularly, you won't have the stress of needing to cram everything just before an important exam.

Test yourself on what you've learned
After you read something, you should test yourself on it. And instead of just doing it once, do it often. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first learn something to make sure you really remember it. You can also work with a friend to test each other.

Take a break
Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better. A study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive people work for about 52 minutes at a time, then take a 17-minute break in between. So when making your study plan, don't forget to include breaks in it.

Stay healthy
Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study. Research has found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while sleeping helps the brain save new information.
