Hello, today we're starting a new podcast titled:
Traveling to a Spanish-speaking country can be an amazing experience! Are you traveling for business or pleasure? Everyday, practical questions are key to communicating with locals.
In this podcast, aimed at Spanish students from levels B1 to C2, with an emphasis on conversation, we'll learn practical questions to converse with locals and find out more about the place we're visiting.
These questions are designed to help students practice their conversation skills while gaining valuable information about the destination.
Let's go!
"When you arrive in a new place, the first thing you ask yourself is: how can I get to know this place better?
Questions for Getting to Know the Place

Use a pause before or after saying sorry.
This makes the person you’re talking to listen carefully to what you are saying.  

Here are a few examples.

Sorry, (pause) I'm afraid I have to go. 
Listen, (pause) sorry Amanda. I'm in a rush.
Sorry, (pause) I better get going.

Saying Sorry

A muisquismo is a word that has its origin in the Muisca language (autoglottonymmuysccubun) that was taken for everyday use by Spanish through linguistic borrowing.

EPISODIO 3. MUISQUISMOS

Simplified Chinese version:
季子是中国古代人。有一次他去旅游，走累了就坐在路边休息。他看到地上有一块儿金子。他想：可能是别人不小心丢掉的吧！
因为季子是一个有钱人，所以他不想去捡这块儿金子。
这个时候，刚好有一个人经过。季子想：这个人很瘦，衣服也很旧，应该是一个乞丐。
季子对他说：“喂！这地上有一块儿金子，你捡去用吧！一会儿被其他乞丐捡走，你就什么都没有了！”
这个人听了非常生气，他说：“你凭什么认为我是乞丐？是因为我的衣服很旧？还是因为我很瘦？你觉得我佷可怜吗？”
这个人说：“今天就算你是有钱人，你都不可以这样对我说话！”
季子很不好意思，于是客气地问这个人的名字。这个人说：“你是一个没有礼貌的人，我不想告诉你我的名字。”

Traditional Chinese version:
季子是中國古代人。有一次他去旅遊，走累了就坐在路邊休息。他看到地上有一塊兒金子。他想：可能是別人不小心丟掉的吧！
因為季子是一個有錢人，所以他不想去撿這塊兒金子。
這個時候，剛好有一個人經過。季子想：這個人很瘦，衣服也很舊，應該是一個乞丐。
季子對他說：“餵！這地上有一塊兒金子，你撿去用吧！一會兒被其他乞丐撿走，你就什麼都沒有了！”
這個人聽了非常生氣，他說：“你憑什麼認為我是乞丐？是因為我的衣服很舊？還是因為我很瘦？你覺得我佷可憐嗎？”
這個人說：“今天就算你是有錢人，你都不可以這樣對我說話！”
季子很不好意思，於是客氣地問這個人的名字。這個人說：“你是一個沒有禮貌的人，我不想告訴你我的名字。”

English translation:
Jizi was a man of ancient China. Once he went on a journey, resting by the street side whenever he felt exhausted. He spotted a piece of gold on the ground. “Someone could have lost this by accident,“ thought Jizi.
Since Jizi was a wealthy man, he did not want to pick up this piece of gold.
Right at this moment, there was someone passing by. “This man is so scraggy, his clothes are tattered too, he’s got to be a beggar,” thought Jizi.
“Hey, there’s a piece of gold on the ground, go pick it up and use it! You will gain nothing if it were picked by other beggars later,” Jizi told him.
Enraged, this man said, “What makes you think of me as a beggar? Is it because my old clothes are too worn? Or is it because I am too skinny? Are you thinking that I am deplorable?”
“Even if you are a rich man, you should never talk to me like that!” the man said.
Jizi felt very embarrassed and asked this man’s politely what his name was. “You are a ill-mannered man, I don’t want to tell you,” said the man.

没有礼貌的季子  The Ill-mannered Jizi

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃。

北海道は日本の中で1番上にあります。
ですので、寒くなるのは日本のどこよりも早い場所です。
今10月中旬ですが、この時期、ちょうど紅葉シーズンをむかえています。

海外から旅行で来られる方も増えていると思いますので、今日は北海道の紅葉スポットについて話そうと思います！私もまだ行ったことがないところですが、近々行きたいと考えています。

① 円山公園
札幌駅から4キロほどの場所にある、旅行客でも簡単に行ける場所です。札幌駅から歩いても行けます。たぶん1時間ぐらい。ここは、結構大きな公園です。
札幌神社、運動場、動物園などもあります。
でも1番は原始林とつながっているこの公園にはたくさんの自然があります。
この公園の紅葉はとても綺麗なようです。
11月のはじめぐらいまでが紅葉の見ごろかもしれませんね。

② 北海道大学
次は北海道大学です。こちらは、札幌駅から歩いて10分ほどです。こちらはイチョウ並木が有名です。まっすぐの道に、70本ほどのイチョウが植えられています。
天気が良ければとても気持ちいいかもしれませんね。


はい、ということで、いかがだったでしょうか。
今日は北海道の札幌駅から手軽に行ける、紅葉のオススメスポット2ヶ所をお伝えしました。

もし、ちょうどこの時期、2022/10月中旬から11月初旬ぐらいに北海道、札幌に来られる方がいたら、ぜひ、時間を作って行ってみてください！ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
