L3 在机场打车[zài jī chǎng dǎ chē]-Taking a taxi at the airport


En el episodio de esta semana te hablo de la palabra abracadabra. Palabra reconocida en muchos idiomas y asociada con la magia, pero, ¿sabes su origen? ¿Y los diferentes usos que se le han dado a lo largo del tiempo? Te lo cuento todo, o mejor dicho, casi todo, ya que abracadabra es una palabra misteriosa, y su origen y usos parece que también.

En el episodio también te hablo de un reto que he creado para ti, y que lo inspiro.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio. Si lo haces, por favor no te olvides de dejar una valoración al podcast en la plataforma desde la que lo estás escuchando. ¡Eso me ayuda muchísimo!

📝 다시 핫플이 된 이곳, 청와대

원래는 대통령이 일하던 곳이었던 청와대,  
2022년 일반에 개방된 이후 서울의 명소가 되었죠.  
그런데 조기 대선을 앞두고 다시 사람들이 몰리고 있습니다.  
다음 정부가 청와대를 다시 집무실로 쓰게 된다면  
더는 자유롭게 방문할 수 없을지도 모르기 때문이에요.

이번 에피소드에서 그 이유를 함께 들어보세요!
