Word Wizardry

This podcast shares calm stories and deep reflections in Egyptian Arabic to make sure the moments of solitude are well spent, away from the bustling nature of this world.

JIM: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara?
CHARLES: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at 
Steve’s party?
JIM: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party.
CHARLES: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is
my friend Jim.
MARY: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you.
JIM: You, too. Would you like a drink?
MARY: Sure, let’s go get one.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Who’s” is the contracted form of who is. It is pronounced the same way as “whose” (/
huwz/), but the meaning is different.
• Didn’t you meet her …? Notice that this is a negative question. Charles thought that Jim 
had met Mary before. He is now surprised that Jim does not know Mary, and so he uses a 
negative question to show his surprise.
• I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Notice that the emphasis here is on “at” although prepositions 
normally have weak stress. In this case, “at” means “there” (I wasn’t there).
• Mary, this is my friend Jim. This is a friendly way to introduce two people. It’s 
common to follow this with “Jim, this is Mary.” In this case, Mary says “Hi, Jim” first.
• Nice to meet you. This is a typical response after you’ve been introduced to someone.
• “Sure” is often used in informal conversation to mean “yes.”

Todos los países y nacionalidades tienen asociados estereotipos, por supuesto España y los españoles no son una excepción. De hecho, creo que tenemos bastantes. En este episodio he buscado los estereotipos más comunes que otras personas tienen sobre los españoles y voy a comentarlos desde mi perspectiva como nativa y a clasificarlos en mito, cuando creo que no tienen mucha razón o en realidad, cuando pienso que no son estereotipos sino algo cierto.

Escucha el episodio para saber de qué estereotipos hablo y mi opinión sobre ellos.

Como siempre espero que lo disfrutes. Si lo haces, por favor no te olvides de dejar a este podcast una valoración. 
Después te espero en mi Instagram para escuchar tu opinión sobre este episodio y para que me digas si conoces algún otro estereotipo sobre los españoles.

SWE 166 - 5 Small things that make me happy

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。


今日は、N3の漢字をやります！
石をやります！　

音読み　せき、しゃく
訓読み　いし、送り仮名はなし

意味は、いし、かたいもの、とかです。

例えば、

・石像ーせきぞう

・隕石ーいんせき

・化石ーかせき


こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・日本の神社にはいろんな石像があります。

・世界最大の隕石はアフリカのナミビアにあります。
　8万年前に落ちた隕石。60トンあるそうです。

・日本で恐竜の化石が多いのは福井県です。


こんな感じです。

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！
