Pro mnohé studenty ruštiny je velmi těžké slyšet rozdíly mezi ruskými měkkými a tvrdými hláskami. Věděli jste, že za to může stejná věc, kvůli které studenti češtiny neslyší rozdíl mezi českými krátkými a dlouhými samohláskami? 

Pojďme si něco poslechnout B1-B2

Z pohledu studenta ruštiny

어제 잠이 잘 오지 않더니,
지금 겨우 오후인데 벌써 피곤하네요.
昨天怎么也睡不着，
现在才下午就好累。

저는 어제 운동을 해서 그런지,
누우니까 바로 잠에 들었어요.
我昨天做了运动，一趟下就睡着了。

그래요? 저도 운동을 해봐야겠어요.
혹시 운동 추천해 줄 수 있어요?
是吗？我也要锻炼锻炼。
你可以给我推荐一下吗？

특별한 건 없고,
저는 주로 달리기와 스트레칭하는데,
숙면에 도움 되는 것 같아요. 
也没什么特别的，
我主要跑步和做拉伸运动，
好像对睡眠很有帮助。

잠을 잘 수 없다 睡不着
추천하다 推荐
특별히 特别
스트레칭 운동 拉伸运动

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天要介绍的是美国华裔女演员刘玉玲。她在中国也很有名，特别是2019年她出演的《致命女人》吸引了无数中国粉丝。除了最为人所知的演员身份，她其实还是一名画家、慈善家。我们来听听她的艺术故事吧。
她是好莱坞著名的华裔女星，是大热剧集中的致命女人，但很多人不知道刘玉玲其实还是一个现实中肆意洒脱的艺术家。一副作品卖出17万美元，惊艳众人后才被人得知出自她之手。在父母只关注她的好成绩，期待她成为医生或律师的传统教育下成长，她独自下手改写人生。勇闯好莱坞演戏的同时，挤出时间去专门进修艺术，最终成为家喻户晓、留名好莱坞星光大道的亚裔明星和低调独特的灵魂画手。这一切都是源于她内心深处的自我认同和对人生目标的坚定感。她的作品有的张扬大胆，有的细腻柔软，融合着她自由、真实、坦荡的性格和历经世事的人文关怀。她以形态各异的木头雕塑强调个体的自由，72张看似乱涂的水墨画，展现创作的玩心。以色彩迷人、造型大胆的抽象画，挑战禁忌话题，映射着她在一个避讳谈论“性”的家庭中成长的反思。她曾建议每个人都该努力挣钱，为自己建一个“去你的”基金。也曾说“艺术是教育的一部分，也为人类创造更美好的未来。”她所展现的是一位女性抛开外表仍具有的更迷人的美。我想一直活在一个不对自己设限的世界里。无所畏惧，敢于冒险。
希望她的故事能够给你带来力量。我们下期见。
