Episode 7 - Alternatives for "a lot"

Buongiorno e buon lunedì!


Il sole splende già caldo,
La mia giornata inizia presto;
e, questa volta, vi lascio delle espressioni di uso quotidiano e comune a tutti gli italiani, da nord a sud.
EccoLE qui:

Allora:
Mi raccomando : non fare tardi, eh!
Faccio fatica a capire le persone in questo periodo….
La cucina romana non mi piace per niente!!!
A chi lo dici!!!!
Muoio dalla voglia di partire!
Più che altro Roma è una città difficile e io sono invecchiata!

La prossima volta che ci vediamo proviamo ad usarle con la giusta intonazione.

Vi auguro una buona settimana .

What if you can be the judge? 
What if we can convict criminals who committed a crime and avoided it like a weasel?
What if we made real criminals go to jail based on false proof?
This show will lead you to a world that has no sorrow and no tears anymore. 
But… what is this feeling?

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は27℃、むし暑いです。
いつもは北海道ですが、今日は大阪でこのポッドキャストを撮っています。

今日は、異字同訓(いじどうくん)について話します。
異字同訓とは、漢字は違うけど、読む音は同じ、という言葉のことですね。

例えば、あつい、という言葉がありますね。
これは、3つ漢字があります。
【暑い】気温が高いことを言いますね。
今日は暑い。暑さ寒さも彼岸まで。とか言います。

【熱い】物の温度が高く感じることや、感情が高ぶることを言います。
コーヒーが熱い。とか、熱い声援を送る。とか言います。

【厚い】物の幅、距離が大きいことを言います。
この本は600ページもあってとても厚い。とか、この壁は厚い。とか言います。

全部使うと、

今日は暑いですが、私は熱いコーヒーを飲みながら、厚い本を読もうと思います。

こんな感じですね。こんなシチュエーションはなかなかないかもしれません。

他にも、
早い、速い
作る、造る、創る
会う、合う、逢う
とか、いろいろありますね。


かえる、や、とる、や、はかる、はたくさん意味があります。多いですがおもしろいので、気になった方は一度調べてみてください。

ということで、今日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！

Learn to speak about the weather in Spanish! Best for A2 students (elementary).

Super Basic Spanish

Basic Spanish: ¿Qué tiempo hace? (What's the weather like?)

Instead of skipping your study session, try to do something manageable, even if it’s just for 5 or 10 minutes. This small effort prevents the disruption of your learning habit and keeps you from falling into the “rest zone” for too long. Remember, a little bit of progress each day compounds over time, and that’s how big results are achieved.

Once you take a break from studying for too long, it becomes increasingly tempting to stay in that “rest mode.” We’ve all experienced this—one day off turns into two, and suddenly a week has gone by. The longer you rest, the harder it becomes to start again. This is not just a language learning issue; it’s a cognitive phenomenon called the inertia effect, where the longer we avoid an activity, the more mental resistance we build up toward starting it again.

--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家分享一些【社交媒体】相关的词。
国外社交媒体平台有:Facebook（脸书）、Instagram（ins）、Twitter（推特）等等。中国用得最多的社交软件有微信（wechat）、微博（MicroBlog）、抖音（Tik-tok）等等。
我们先来看看跟微信有关的词。在中国，几乎每个人都有微信。微信可以用来发信息，发语音（信息），打语音电话，打视频电话。除了一对一聊天，还有很多微信群，家人群，朋友群，工作群。我们还可以用微信来付款，转账，发红包。付款的时候可以你扫商家的二维码，或者商家扫你的付款码。所以买东西的时候经常会听到这样的话：“我扫你，还是你扫我？”转账的金额可以比较高，每天最高可转账20万元。发红包的金额最高是一个200块，一般用在朋友和家人间。例如我朋友生日的时候，我会给他发一个188.88的红包，因为8在中国是一个幸运的数字。
认识一个新朋友的时候，我们一般会加微信。扫对方的二维码就可以添加好友，对方通过后你们就是微信好友了。你可以根据关系把他分组，例如家人，朋友，同事。如果你不想和一个人再聊天了，可以删他(的)微信，甚至是拉黑他。
微信还有一个功能叫朋友圈。我们可以在朋友圈发文字，图片，视频。你的微信好友可以给你点赞，评论。如果你发的朋友圈只想给一部分人看，那就设置分组可见，只有你选择的组可以看到你发的朋友圈。
微信的功能还有很多，公众号可以看文章，视频号可以看视频，小程序可以快速地使用很多常见的手机软件。点外卖，购物，医院挂号等等都可以通过微信。可以说，我们的生活根本离不开微信了。
你用过微信吗？你最喜欢什么功能？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
