En este episodio de podcast hablamos de edad y de cumplir años. En él te hablo de una tradición española muy curiosa “los tirones de orejas”. Y te comento varias maneras diferentes de hablar de la edad aproximada de una persona. Es decir vas a aprender a decir la edad, sin decir exactamente tus años.

Después de escuchar el episodio, no te olvides de decirme:

¿Habías escuchado de “los tirones de orejas”? ¿En tu país lo hacéis? 

¿Qué tradición especial tienes para celebrar los cumpleaños?

This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!

El empleo parte I

Le pâté de lapin
Alix, le petit lapin de garenne, vivait heureux à l’orée du bois proche de la ferme. Quand l'hiver est arrivé, la nourriture s'est faite rare et Alix avait grand-faim.
II s'est aventuré jusqu’à la ferme et a rencontré trois petits lapins blancs qui se régalaient en compagnie des poules. Il a été invité à manger et ce repas l'a réjoui.
- Reste donc avec nous, ont proposé les trois lapereaux. Tu verras, la vie est belle et sans souci.
Alix a passé deux jours inoubliables à la ferme, mais alors qu'il questionnait le chien au sujet du contenu de son écuelle à lui, le gardien de la ferme, celui-ci lui a répondu :
- Un reste de pâté de lapin, mon ami. Un régal !
Alix s'est enfuit à toutes pattes pour ne plus jamais revenir.
