How to say the 13th Element Correctly? 

Neste episódio, eu e Martín, professor de Espanhol do México, trocamos impressões sobre o movimento surrealista no Brasil e no México. Citando artistas modernistas e surrealistas como a brasileira Tarsila do Amaral, a mexicana Frida Kahlo e a espanhola radicada no México Remedios Varo, traçamos diferenças e similaridades, tudo isso enquanto também fazemos um intercâmbio linguístico: Português-Espanhol! :)

Have you ever heard the expression you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks? Today I want to talk with you about this expression and ask whether this is true or not. Well, the answer is kind of confusing because it is, and it isn’t true at the same time. So what do I mean by that? When somebody says, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” essentially, they are saying if you are older, you can’t learn new things. Now, I have a real problem with this because I have seen this type of mindset disproved so many times, including my first college professor who did not go to college until she was in her 60’s she ended up getting her associate degree, her bachelors and then masters degree and in her seventies was my professor for my very first college class that I ever took. I don’t believe the expression, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” is this true?

The Murders on the Rue Morgue part 6

A lingua geral foi um termo utilizado pelos portugueses a partir do sec 17 para designar as línguas faladas por toda a população vinda do cruzamento de europeus e indígenas tupi-guarani. A LG amazônica, nasceu da miscigenação de pais de língua portuguesa e mães de língua Tupinambá, os filhos desenvolveram um própria idioma; a língua geral amazônica tornou-se a língua de comunicação falada do Brasil Colônia da região Norte do país. A LG amazônica permanece em alguns municípios da Amazônia, é conhecida como Nheengatu. De acordo com o IBGE há por volta de 10 mil falantes…Em 2006, o prefeito da cidade de SGC assinou um decreto que regulamentava e reconhecia essa língua e mais duas outras como oficiais da região… A LGA falada no sec 17 não é a mesma que a de hoje, nenhuma língua é homogênea, ela se modifica com o decorrer dos anos, adquirindo diversos dialetos de diferentes regiões por onde a língua se estabiliza. A LG guarani veio da população mestiça - entre pais, espanhóis ou portugueses e mães indígenas, da região Oeste do país que faz divisa com o Paraguai e a Argentina.

Episode 45. 石の上にも三年

9_Mein Haus. Mein Auto. Mein Boot.

(A)  Eine Fernseh-Werbung aus den 90er Jahren wird in Deutschland auch heute noch oft zitiert: Zwei Männer, die sich aus ihrer Schulzeit kennen, treffen sich nach Jahren wieder und wollen demonstrieren, wie viel sie im Leben erreicht haben. Sie wollen einander IN DEN SCHATTEN STELLEN, indem sie abwechselnd Foto um Foto auf den Tisch legen mit den Worten: „Mein Haus. Mein Auto. Mein Boot.“ Wobei das Boot eine Yacht ist.

(B)  Tatsächlich war es damals ein Zeichen von Wohlstand, ein schönes Haus und ein tolles Auto zu besitzen. Heute trifft das nicht mehr hundertprozentig zu. Junge, hochqualifizierte und gut verdienende Leute ziehen es nicht selten vor, ein Haus oder eine Wohnung zu mieten. Zum einen verlangt ihr Beruf oft dass sie flexibel sind und jederzeit umziehen können, zum anderen ist Wohneigentum in deutschen Großstädten fast UNERSCHWINGLICH geworden. Auch ein eigenes Auto ist nicht mehr für jeden erstrebenswert. Die Suche nach einem Parkplatz gestaltet sich zum täglichen Drama und die Innenstädte sind ein einziger Verkehrsstau. Nicht wenige junge Leute ziehen ein Fahrrad vor: Es ist gesünder, schneller und umweltbewusster. 

(C)  Ein hoher Lebensstandard zeigt sich heute eher in der neuesten digitalen Ausstattung. Auch schöne Reisen in die ganze Welt gehören zu den Wünschen der jungen Generation.  Andererseits spricht natürlich nichts gegen einen tollen Urlaub auf einem Boot.

Whether you're going on vacation, a business trip or to see friends or family for the weekend there is one thing you can't avoid — packing. And many of us pack too much, which might mean heavy bags, paying extra for flights and lots of unpacking.

So, here are a few ideas for how to pack light.

Make a list
This might be the most important thing. Think about what you really need to take — and if you're flying, how much luggage you're allowed.

Make a list, then see if you can make it shorter, and shorter. This should also make packing quicker, as long as you stick to your list!

Pack small
Do this by rolling up clothes, or you can buy compression bags that squash things into a smaller space inside your luggage. Packing cubes can also help — they're little bags you can use to organize your suitcase.

Forget the "just in case" things
Unless you're going to a place that doesn't have any shops, you don't need to take too much "just in case" stuff. If you find you need something extra, you might even get a good deal in a local market.

Be ready to do some washing
Okay, so this isn't the most exciting idea, but it could save you space. Most hotels offer laundry services or you could even wash your clothes by hand in the bathroom sink if you run out of things to wear!

Wear what you can
If you have big walking boots, wear them on the journey, along with any big jackets that will only waste space in your bag. And don't forget that you'll have to repack everything before returning home!
