Moekoの日本語ベラベラtimeEpi18: 恥の文化【Japanese Podcast: listening practice】

Cam Fairbairn was working in restaurants when he started a side hustle — work he did on top of his regular job — making and selling his own jam.

Making jam was a hobby, but he'd been encouraged by a friend to make it an extra source of income.

However, he soon stopped enjoying it when his hobby became a business. He went back to focusing on his day job.

But not everyone is so lucky. For some, a side hustle is not just a good way to make extra money from something you love — it's a necessity.

Shonnita Leslie had big education debts to pay, so while she was working at a university during the day, her side hustle was delivering food. She needed the extra money to pay off those debts.

And according to new data, Leslie is not alone.

A survey by Bankrate found that more than one third of Americans have a side hustle. Among those aged between 18 and 27, it's 48%.

Of the Americans with a side job, 36% use that extra money to pay for daily necessities like housing and food. And 32% said they think they'll always need a side hustle to make ends meet.

"People are telling us they're side hustling because they have to, not because they want to," Ted Rossman from Bankrate told CNBC.

The survey of more than 2,300 Americans also found that about 28% of people with a side hustle make at least $500 per month from their second job. Around 9% of people said they make more than $2,000.

EP 43. SUBJUNTIVO IMPERFECTO

El taco en México es uno de los platillos emblema a nivel internacional, por la gran variedad que tienen; desde tamaño, si son suaves o duros, hasta el contenido que lleva el taco. Desde un ingrediente hasta todo un platillo completo en un solo taco, los puedes encontrar desde un puesto en la calle hasta restaurantes gourmet.

Es considerado la comida rápida en México, pero con un excelente valor nutritivo. Puede ser un taco que tiene carne, verduras o frutas; o solo vegetales, puede ir desde carne al vapor o bien algún producto frito.

Usualmente la tortilla puede ser de varios ingredientes desde harina de trigo o nopal, o la tradicional harina de maíz.

La tortilla es consumida desde la época Precolombina y se prepara con un proceso de nixtamalización (maíz, agua y cal); después pasa por el metate para hacer la masa, y de ahí toma la forma de la tortilla.

Sin embargo, el taco hizo que, durante la época de la conquista, existiera la primera taquiza o el acto de comer en un colectivo tacos; iniciado por Hernán Cortes en Coyoacán.

Los primeros tacos eran de mole, guajolote y hasta de xoloitzcuintle (raza de perro). Antes de llegar a un estatus de comida gourmet, gracias a la nueva cocina mexicana, era considerada comida para la clase trabajadora.

El taco se puede dividir en 2 categorías, por tipo de carne o relleno y el otro por tipo de preparación.

Un mexicano te dirá que el éxito de un taco, más allá de la tortilla o el relleno, será la salsa. Este es uno de los ingredientes indispensables: desde una salsa roja (jitomate), salsa verde (tomate), guacamole (aguacate y chile serrano), pico de gallo (jitomate, cebolla y chile verde).
