Every culture has its own unique tendencies when it comes to pronouncing certain sounds in other languages. For example, where I was born, many people find it tricky to pronounce sounds like 'f' and 'p.' Even simple English words like 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 can feel like torture.

For this episode, I’d like to focus on my Japanese friends. I know there are certain English sounds that can require extra effort to pronounce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you some helpful insights and tips to make those tricky sounds easier to master.

That could  be the first and most important thing to many of us when we come to a new city, a new country. Find a good coffee shop and get a damn fine cup of coffee. Let’s learn how to do that in Russian.

If you want to say HELLO, it depends on the time of day.
If it's morning, it's better to say ДОБРОГО РАНКУ.
If it's afternoon, it's ДОБРИЙ ДЕНЬ
If it is evening - then ДОБРИЙ ВЕЧІР or ДОБРОГО ВЕЧОРА
If it's night -- ДОБРОЇ НОЧІ
If you want to wish someone good night, you can use the previous phrase or ДОБРАНІЧ
It is also possible to say ВІТАЮ, but this word has two meanings: HELLO or Congratulations
These are formal greetings.
However, if you're talking to a friend, it's okay to say ПРИВІТ.

So how to say goodbye or bye? 
Goodbye is до побачення. By the way, побачення means “a date” and до in this context means “till”, but this phrase still means “goodbye”.
If you want to say “see you”, you can say “до зустрічі”. 
These are kind of formal ones.
And if you are talking to a friend and want to say “bye”, you can say:
– па-па (bye bye)
– бувай (bye)
So we can say it like “Як справи”.
“Як ти” – which is informal.

And what should we answer? 
We can say: 
Добре – which means good.
Дуже добре – very good 
Нормально – normal
Не дуже – not much. As I have said before, дуже – means very. So we literally say “not very”.
Чудово – great
Погано – bad
It is also possible to say “непогано” which means “not bad”

En el episodio de esta semana te hablo de algunas expresiones muy comunes que usamos para comparar en español. Las expresiones de las que vamos a hablar son comparativas de igualdad y usan el verbo estar, por lo tanto todas tienen la estructura “estar como”. Y aunque en español hay muchas cosas que no tienen sentido, estas expresiones no son unas de ellas. En cuanto te explique el significado de cada una de ellas, vas a ver lo acertadas que son.

Espero que, como siempre, disfrutes el episodio. Si lo haces, no te olvides de dejar una pequeña valoración en la plataforma desde la que lo estás escuchando.

Además, no te olvides que me encanta escuchar tus opiniones, después de escucharlo pásate por mi instagram y dime qué piensas del tema de hoy, ¿habías escuchado alguna de estas compraciones antes?
