(Intermediate) 聊聊房地产 Let's talk about real estate!

La pizza è un'icona della cucina italiana che ha conquistato il palato di milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. La sua origine affonda le radici nella città di Napoli, dove venne preparata per la prima volta nel XVIII secolo. La vera pizza napoletana è riconoscibile per la sua base sottile e soffice, cotta in forno a legna a temperature elevate per ottenere una crosta croccante e un centro morbido. I condimenti tipici includono pomodoro, mozzarella di bufala, basilico fresco e olio d'oliva.

Oggi, la pizza ha assunto molte varianti, come la pizza margherita, con il suo mix di sapori semplici e autentici, o la pizza marinara, che esalta l'aroma degli ingredienti di base come l'aglio e l'origano. Inoltre, ci sono pizze gourmet con combinazioni creative di ingredienti come prosciutto, funghi, rucola e formaggi speciali. 
La pizza è diventata talmente popolare che oggi è possibile trovarla in ogni angolo del mondo. Tuttavia, la tradizione e l'autenticità della vera pizza napoletana rimangono intatte e sono riconosciute come Patrimonio Immateriale dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO.
La pizza è uno dei piatti più amati e rappresentativi dell'Italia, che unisce sapori deliziosi, convivialità e tradizione. Buon appetito!

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#32  私のペット / My pets // N4 Level /Japanese listening

You know, before you dive into any new structure of learning, it’s super important to ask all the WHYS. Be curious! Find out the reasons behind a grammatical rule, a sentence structure, or even the way a word is pronounced. Trust me, when you know the reasons why something is presented the way it is, it becomes so much easier to remember and use in conversation and writing.

Think of it like building a house. You need a solid foundation of bricks even though you might just see the pretty, colorful windows. Behind every beautiful house is a strong foundation of bricks, which once laid, cannot be removed. It’s the same with language. Once you know the reasons behind the rules, you’re stuck with them in a good way!
