In this episode, we read the short story “The tinder box” by Hans Christian Anderson.
Though this is a fairy tale, it’s probably not suitable for children under the age of 13.

El lunfardo es un conjunto de expresiones usadas en la zona del Río de la Plata, que al emplearse en el habla cotidiana suenan bastante informales. Se comenzó a utilizar en Buenos Aires en el siglo XX y ha tomado palabras de muchas otras lenguas debido a varias inmigraciones europeas. 

Muchos me preguntan cómo es hablar en lunfardo. Y bueno, este argot suena más o menos así: 

En el LABURO no se puede usar esta jerga porque es muy coloquial. Pero sí es muy común escucharla entre CHABONES que son amigos, ya sea por la MATINA esperando el BONDI, o por la noche en cualquier BOLICHE, o en un bar tomando unas BIRRAS acompañando un buen MORFI.
Entender el lunfardo puede ser un QUILOMBO al principio, especialmente si nos invade la FIACA al momento de aprender. Pero si estamos en contacto con cualquier PIBE que nos BANQUE en el aprendizaje y que no sea un CHANTA, aprenderemos más rápido.
Si estamos en Buenos Aires, podremos practicar el uso de esta jerga cuando vamos a MORFAR un CHORIPÁN con amigos, mientras CHAMUYAMOS un rato, hablamos de la GUITA que ganamos LABURANDO, y, si el mesero es un CAPO, también podremos practicar con él. 
Sin embargo, deberemos tener cuidado con los CHORROS en la calle, especialmente al momento de GARPAR, ya que, si bien pueden tener buena PINTA, pueden AFANARNOS el dinero. Si esto ocurre es una MACANA, porque deberemos hacer la denuncia en la estación policial, donde los oficiales siempre están HASTA LAS MANOS y pueden estar un poco CHINCHUDOS.
De todos modos, visitar Buenos Aires y poner en práctica la comprensión del lunfardo es una MASA, y no hay que BAJONEARSE si resulta un poco difícil al principio.

These various expressions for affirmation encompass a wide range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, a simple "yes" or "yeah" suffices, and a touch of informality may be added with "sure" or "absolutely." When assurance is absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, yes" and "most definitely" leave no room for ambiguity. In informal settings, a resounding agreement might be expressed with "you bet" or "hell yeah," and a casual "totally" or "yup" carries a similar sentiment. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I wholeheartedly agree" or "indeed," while "I concur" and "affirmative" maintain a level of professionalism. Politeness sweetens the agreement in expressions such as "I'd be happy to" and "that sounds wonderful," demonstrating eagerness to comply. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the affirmation, as seen in expressions like "in a New York minute" or "is the Pope Catholic?" In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their agreement with endearing phrases like "absolutely, my dear" or "most assuredly," maintaining a level of warmth. For royalty, an affirmation is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "by all means, Your Majesty" or "it would be my honor, Your Highness," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
