You know, before you dive into any new structure of learning, it’s super important to ask all the WHYS. Be curious! Find out the reasons behind a grammatical rule, a sentence structure, or even the way a word is pronounced. Trust me, when you know the reasons why something is presented the way it is, it becomes so much easier to remember and use in conversation and writing.

Think of it like building a house. You need a solid foundation of bricks even though you might just see the pretty, colorful windows. Behind every beautiful house is a strong foundation of bricks, which once laid, cannot be removed. It’s the same with language. Once you know the reasons behind the rules, you’re stuck with them in a good way!

Oggi vediamo la storia della "vespa" il famoso  scooter italiano, brevettato il 23 aprile del 1946, su progetto dell'ingegnere aeronautico Corradino D'Ascanio.


Parte del testo: 
La storia della Vespa comincia nel 1945. È la storia della famiglia Piaggio, ma è anche la storia dell'Italia che rinasce dalla guerra e di un prodotto italiano che conquista il mondo. La Vespa non è solo un mezzo di trasporto, ma è anche uno dei simboli dell'Italia all’estero, uno dei prodotti di design industriale più famosi al mondo al punto di essere esposta nel museo MoMA di New York. Ma facciamo un salto nel tempo. Siamo nel 1945, al termine della seconda guerra mondiale. La fabbrica di aerei militari di Enrico Piaggio a Pontedera, in Toscana, è distrutta e i suoi operai sono disoccupati. Enrico Piaggio ha una grande idea: produrre non più aerei ma un mezzo di trasporto a due ruote piccolo, robusto, semplice ed economico per far ripartire la sua azienda e anche l'economia del Paese. Piaggio chiede all’ingegnere della sua fabbrica, Corradino D’Ascanio, di disegnare il mezzo. Deve essere leggero ma al tempo stesso capace di trasportare persone e qualche bagaglio non troppo ingombrante. Deve essere anche un mezzo adatto alle donne, perché dopo la guerra anche loro lavorano e hanno necessità di spostarsi e di andare in fabbrica o in ufficio. Quando, nel 1946, l'ingegnere Corradino D’Ascanio presenta il nuovo mezzo di trasporto, è Piaggio in persona a inventare il nome Vespa, perché il suono del motore e la forma della carrozzeria assomigliano a un insetto. La moto ha i fianchi larghi per accogliere il guidatore e il vitino stretto per appoggiare le gambe.

It's no secret that Hawaii is a favorite destination for Japanese tourists. In 2023, the islands welcomed around 573,000 visitors from Japan — the most from any country.

But did you know there's a connection between Japan and Hawaii that goes beyond travel and into clothing?

Aloha shirts, also known as Hawaiian shirts, have roots in Japanese culture, beginning with Japanese immigrants in Hawaii.

In the late 1800s, Japanese immigrants in Hawaii started importing Japanese clothing as well as rolls of fabric to make clothes with.

In the 1920s, locals in Hawaii saw these fabrics and started using them to make casual dress shirts with Japanese patterns on them. These shirts became popular with tourists to Hawaii.

Soon after, aloha shirts were made in bulk, but instead of using fabric made for Japanese clothing, stores in Hawaii started bringing in printed fabrics made just for aloha shirts.

And by the late 1930s, the designs had changed from Japanese patterns to the Hawaiian inspired patterns we're used to today — images of Mount Fuji and Japanese pine trees were replaced with things like coconut trees, surfers and fish.

But even though today's aloha shirts don't look very Japanese inspired, they still remain popular within Japan.

Yosuke Seki, an aloha shirt aficionado who goes to Hawaii every year, told CNN he wears his shirts daily, and hopes to inspire others to try them.

"Right now, I'm wearing a replica of one of the expensive designs," Seki said, adding that his shirt cost between $130 and $200. The more expensive shirts can cost thousands of dollars, he explained.

And for some fans, aloha shirts are not just clothing — they're collectable items, or even considered art.

Yoshihiro Nakano is the brand director of Sun Surf, a Japanese company that has been making aloha shirts for about 50 years. Many customers don't even wear the aloha shirts they buy, and instead just collect them or frame them, Nakano told CNN.
