OYASUMI にほんご

#5　Finger（Yubi）

Hey iTalkiers, this is Chadwick.

Thanks for listening today.

I am going to answer a question which may appear on a test like the IELTS.

And that question is this:  Do you enjoy outdoor activities?

The short answer to that question is yes.

I do enjoy activites that take place outdoors.

The longer answer needs to be unpacked, or explained a bit more in detail.

To begin with, I am not a fan of winter activities.  I used to be, but not so much anymore.

I was never really keen on skiing, but I used to enjoy snowboarding.

But, those days are gone, and I would much rather be cozied up next to the warm fire during those long cold winter months.

And now when it comes to spring, summer, and fall... I am all in.

Anyone who knows me or follows my Instagram (organicenglishus) knows that I am an avid gardener.

Avid means that I show a keen interest, or am enthusiasitic about, in this case, gardening.

I could spend all day playing in the dirt and watching things grow.

During the warmer months of the year, I also enjoy Hiking the North Country Trail, or paddling around a quiet lake with my wife.

So, yeah, spring, summer and winter are amazing.

Winter time, not so much.

How about you?

Do you enjoy outdoor activites?

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks for listening, and please subscribe.

The Magician's Performance (short story)

„ö“ ist besonders wichtig, wenn man zwischen Indikativ und Konjunktiv II wechseln möchte. Vor allem beim Verb: konnten - könnten

Die richtige Aussprache klingt im Englishen eigentlich wie das Wort Vogel „bird“. Man könnte das Wort auch wie  „börd“ aussprechen. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena öffnete fröhlich die große Holztröte. „Können wir morgen über die Brücke stöbern?“, tönte es plötzlich. Überrascht schob Lena die blöde Tröte zurück ins Körbchen. Ihr Löwe, der flauschige Stofflöwe, nickte. „Natürlich, Löwi! Aber vorher müssen wir flöten üben.“ Lena stöpselte den roten Kopfhörer an und drückte auf „Play“. Flötentöne flossen fröhlich durchs Zimmer. „Höchst motivierend!“, dachte Löwi, rollte sich zusammen und döste ein. Lena, glücklich über Löwis Geduld, spielte weiter. Doch plötzlich ertönte ein lauter Knall – das Stöpselgerät explodierte! „Blöd gelaufen!“, murrte sie, zog die Decke über Löwi und schlief ebenfalls ein.

Sofía: No… me siento fatal. Me duele el estómago y creo que voy a vomitar.

Carlos: ¡¿Qué pasó?! ¿Comiste algo en mal estado?

Sofía: Creo que sí… comí mariscos en un restaurante nuevo y ahora me siento terrible.

Carlos: ¡Te lo dije! Ese lugar no se veía muy higiénico.

Sofía: Sí, sí… ahora no es momento para decir "te lo dije".

Carlos: Ok, ok. Respira profundo. ¿Quieres que te lleve al médico?

Sofía: No sé… tal vez solo necesite descansar un poco.

Carlos: Pero si empeora, no podemos esperar. ¿Has tomado algo?

Sofía: Solo agua, pero mi estómago sigue revuelto.

Carlos: Tal vez deberías tomar un té de manzanilla, ayuda con la digestión.

Sofía: Sí, buena idea… pero primero quiero acostarme un rato.

Carlos: Claro, te ayudaré a recostarte.

Sofía: Gracias, Carlos… ¡esto es horrible!

Carlos: Tranquila, seguro es intoxicación leve.

Sofía: Espero que sí… no quiero volver a comer mariscos en mi vida.

Carlos: Jajaja, eso dices ahora… pero en dos semanas seguro quieres sushi otra vez.

Sofía: No, en serio… nunca más.
