Hi Guys! Episode 1 is about the Japanese words “iru/aru” and the animal counting system “hiki/tou”! Please note that this is not grammar, but everyday usage! Then, read Wikipedia for the correct description of mammals...;P

Epi 1 :日本語「いる・ある」「匹・頭」の使い分け！【Japanese Podcast】

As it's already May, a lot of the part 1 and part 2 topics are changing in the IELTS speaking exam. Let's start with the topic "Describe a positive change you made in your life" with some good idioms which are explained below.

Remember this is just an example answer, and you should never learn example answers off by heart. It's very important to speak naturally in the speaking exam.


Idioms used in the example answer:

Out of shape

If someone is unhealthy or not able to do a lot of physical activity, we can say they are out of shape.

“He drinks and smokes too much, and has become very out of shape.”



In good shape

If you’re in good shape, you are fit and healthy. This  especially refers to the physical condition of your body ( being at a healthy weight, not overweight, getting plenty of exercise)


Run down

If you’re feeling run down, you are tired and lacking energy, usually after a sustained period without enough rest.

“After working late in the office every night for the last 2 weeks, he started to feel very run down.”


Full of beans

Someone who has a lot of energy might be described as full of beans.

“Young children are always full of beans, and love to run around, and play.”


Fit as a fiddle

Fit as a fiddle means ‘in very good health’ and may more often be used to refer to older people.

“My grandfather is 86, but is still as fit as a fiddle, and goes to exercise in the park every morning.”


Picture of good health

To look the picture of health simply means to look very healthy and well.

“Wow! Have you been going to the gym recently? You look the picture of health.

Debatimos sobre "la disciplina"

In questo primo episodio mi presento e parlo delle lingue che so.
In this first episode I introduce myself and speak about the languages I know.


TESTO: Ciao, questo è il primo episodio del mio podcast per studenti di italiano intitolato “Poliglotta per passione”. In questo episodio mi presento. Mi chiamo Andrea e sono italiano. Ho 28 anni e sono poliglotta. Mi piace imparare le lingue e ne parlo 14. L’italiano è la mia lingua madre, ma conosco anche l’inglese, il tedesco, il russo, lo spagnolo, il portoghese brasiliano, il rumeno, il bulgaro, lo svedese, il catalano, il francese, il greco moderno e il persiano. Parlo anche lombardo, la lingua locale della regione in cui vivo, la Lombardia. Inoltre sto studiando l’ucraino, ma ancora non lo parlo. Sono insegnante e traduttore. Insegno tedesco in un liceo linguistico, cioè una scuola dove si studiano tante lingue. Sono membro di HYPIA, l’associazione internazionale di poliglotti, e ho un canale su YouTube. Le mie lingue preferite sono il russo e il rumeno. In questo podcast voglio parlare della mia esperienza di poliglotta e darvi consigli su come imparare le lingue. E tu? Quali lingue parli? Lascia un commento. è tutto per oggi. Ci sentiamo nel prossimo episodio!
