One of the most incredible entertainments in the world, Carnival is a four-day celebration of music, dance, food and drink, all over Rio. The event means a lot to the people from the poorest neighborhoods, who work hard for months preparing for it. It is an opportunity for the whole community to go out and have fun together. It ends with the Samba Parade for which the performers and dancers dress up in the most amazing costumes.

Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Ini adalah podcast pertama saya di Italki. Saya lumayan gugup atau “deg-degan”. Kalian tahu arti kata “deg-degan”? Di Bahasa Jepang artinya “どきどき、緊張する”、di Bahasa Inggris artinya “nervous”. 
Saya pikir kalian juga pernah merasa gugup atau deg-degan waktu berbicara di depan orang banyak. Kalau kalian deg-degan, biasanya kalian melakukan apa? Hmm.. kalau saya, bolak-balik ke toilet ^^;  “Bolak-balik” ini juga ekspresi ya, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “行ったり来たり” , di Bahasa Inggris artinya “back and forth”.
Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Semoga hari ini kalian tidak deg-degan melakukan sesuatu ya ^^

Akhir minggu
