My polyglot story - Mon histoire polyglotte

Let’s take a language journey towards fluency in Swedish.
This episode is about greetings and introductions.
Swedes often say ‘good morning’ or ‘hello’ but learning longer greetings is an opportunity to get to know people and meet new friends. And as a guest in a new country, it's a great step into the new culture.

北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#19〉3月18日金曜日　お酒じゃないビール

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

DUMBPHONES

¡Hola! Volvemos a hablar de comida. Sí, me gusta comer. 
Hoy os cuento dónde compro el pan, aprendemos algunas palabras nuevas y mi amigo Javi nos enseña cómo preparar un conejo al ajillo de p*** madre.
¿Preparados? ¡¡Vamos!!


La vida de Héctor (Spanish Podcast)

Vocabulario de comida (3)

En este episodio te hablo sobre cual pronombre es mejor usar, ¿Tu o usted?.. Y aunque ya sabemos que Tu esta relacionado con cercanía y Usted con formalidad, creo que para los hablantes nativos es algo cultural. Algunas regiones usan mas uno que otro. 
Cuéntame en los comentarios cual prefieres usar, ¿Tu o usted?

Speaker Maria.E !!!

¿Tu o usted?

Nivel A2. B1.
Tema: Vocabulario y expresiones culturales:  Es muy normal escuchar expresiones como: AHORA REGRESO, AHORITA VUELVO, AHORITICA TE LLAMO..., O AHORITA AHORITA .. lo hago. etc. 

Pero, ¿Cuánto tiempo representa eso?. Bien, ese es el tema de hoy. Una interpretación muy rápida y simple con ejemplos. 

Aprender temas asociados a la interpretación, a la cultura o a las costumbres de cada país, es parte del proceso de EXPERIMENTAR el idioma. Así que en este audio vas a tener algunas pistas o algunas ideas para entender mejor AHORA.. AHORITA etc. 

También, es una pequeña práctica de PASADOS, por eso creo que va a ser interesante como ejercicio.  

Este episodio no tiene PDF, no, no lo tiene, pero puedes comentar o hacer tus preguntas aquí, en un mensaje de voz, en un mensaje escrito o en clase, por supuesto. 
Gracias por compartir este podcast con otros amigos, estudiantes o interesados en hablar español.  
Nos vemos pronto, oh... voy, porque ahorita tengo una llamada, chao chao, :D!
