Folktale Fridays will be an exploration of folktales. Aimed at students of all levels to follow along as I read, transporting us to distant lands, learning English vocabulary along the way. 

Folktale Friday

In this episode we dive into language learning. Why people learn languages? Why some languages become popular? What happens to the brain as we learn languages? Plus some notes on language families, similarities and differences between languages.

Hope you enjoy!

Сегодня пишем диктант по рассказу Михаила Зощенко “Галоши и мороженое” про очередные приключения Лёли и Миньки. Как раз очень летняя тема, мне кажется. 

Система у нас такая: я читаю текст два раза. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Буду говорить, где нужно ставить точки (.)

Спасибо всем, кто слушает мои подкасты и пишет диктанты! Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “шестой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Episode 13 (R.I.P phone) Filming in Israel
Welcome back to Streetwise English Podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Since we're on the topic of cell phones, I want to tell you another story about my favorite cell phone in the world, which is a Sony cell phone from Japan. Was a Sony cell phone from Japan. And I was taking a video of a tourist group in Tel Aviv, Israel.


So I'm an American guy, and I was with a group of Chinese tourists and I was hired to film these tourists on their trip in Israel.


It was our first day at the beach. I think it might have been our very first day in Israel. I think we arrived early in the morning at the airport. So I filmed people picking up their luggage and then we were cruising around at the beach, maybe we visited a store. I think there was a guy who played a trumpet that was kind of like made out of a bullhorn or something, a traditional horn, an old man with a beard and a, um, a hat, like the traditional Jewish people wear there in Tel Aviv.


And anyways, we were down at the beach, and this was the first time I'd seen the beach in Tel Aviv. And let me tell you, it looked like Santa Monica, California. There were people roller skating. There were people , girls in bikinis. There were surfers out in the water. People surfing in Tel Aviv. I had no idea. This is not the picture I had in my mind when thinking of Israel or Tel Aviv.


So my cell phone that I mentioned earlier that I just loved was a Sony cell phone and it was waterproof. The phone was waterproof. You could dump it in the water in a swimming pool and it would continue shooting. And I had actually filmed with it before in Spain underwater in the ocean and filmed fish swimming and everything and no problem.
So this trip though, I was in Tel Aviv  (text count limit)
