Brentoni's English Podcast

001 Our Favorite American States

If there is a direct train, it is usually the fastest way to travel from A to B in Britain.
A stopping train stops at a lot of smaller stations between main stations. An express (train) provides a faster service to your destination, and avoids the problem of traffic jams on the bus services.
For rail travel, you might need a single or a return ticket. Many people buy a travel card, which allows them to travel on any bus or train in a specific area for a period of time for less money. A bus pass lets you do the same for bus routes. You can buy rail tickets online, from a ticket machine or at the ticket office I booking office in the station.
If you get a train or bus In time, you catch it. If you are late, you may miss it. You may need to change trains or buses.

In questo episodio parlo un po' dell'arte nella città di Firenze, di alcune piazze come la Piazza della Signoria che sembra un museo all'aperto, il fascino dei suoi musei come Gli Uffizi e la Galleria dell'Accademia, il ponte Vecchio; non si può non sentirsi innamorati di questa città. Alcuni degli scrittori più conosciuti nel mondo sono di questa città, nomino alcuni; per finire parlo anche un po' su cose da mangiare e bere a Firenze. A livello grammaticale: uso dei tempi dell'indicativo: presente, passato prossimo e imperfetto. 

Vivendo tra due lingue

Firenze, tra arte e amore

Este texto está diseñado como una herramienta para ejercitar nuestra mente en el uso del subjuntivo, más que para enfocarnos en estructuras gramaticales específicas. A través de opiniones, deseos y valoraciones, exploraremos cómo se usa el subjuntivo en un contexto real y significativo. El contenido refleja la visión personal de una persona sobre el concepto de éxito hoy en día, y no pretende imponer una verdad absoluta. Justamente, uno de los usos del subjuntivo es expresar puntos de vista personales, con los que podemos estar de acuerdo o no. Lo importante aquí es abrir una conversación y reflexionar.
