Luca szeret korán kelni és kávéval kezdeni a napot. 😍
Egy ideje rászokott, hogy a kávéját nem otthon készíti el, hanem elmegy a kedvenc kávézójába. 
Ez ma reggel sem volt másképp. 😏
Ahogy benyitott a kávézóba, az ajtó csengő hangosan csilingelt. (...)

009 How to Improve Your Guitar Skills

Some of the typical mistakes made by my students and how to avoid them.

Darrell the language therapist

Common English mistakes 01

Success lies on the other side of effort, which makes suffering part of the process.
Rather than avoid discomfort then, the ambitious must pursue it at all costs. Only by butting heads and pushing through such suffering will they ever attain the proverbial gold.

Short Stories with Rose 

The Dragon and the Treasure

In these past months, it seems that a lot of political drama has been spinning around like a 24/7, in my world, in other people's world, everywhere. That has brought my memories to a bedtime story that I will never forget. I still can picture in mind how the book looked like, how I sat next to Mom as she read the book to me. The title was, "The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey". At that time I thought, "This boy and his father are foolish." That's why I couldn't forget the story. 

However, as I grew up, I realized that indeed, yeah, stupid things I do. Even worse, I do it because I have been told to.

The story I'm reading to you now is from https://www.fablereads.com/en/fable/the-man-the-boy-and-the-donkey.

Job Satisfaction: Interest OR Income?

V tomto podcaste vás zoberiem na emotívnu cestu medzi dvoma krajinami. Môj bratranec Richard so svojou manželkou Mirkou zdieľajú svoj fascinujúci životný príbeh o odchode do Írska, kde si počas trinástich rokov vybudovali nový domov a vychovali deti.

V tomto rozhovore sa dozviete:

- Aké boli ich začiatky v cudzej krajine a s akými najväčšími prekážkami bojovali.
- Ako prebiehal proces učenia sa jazyka a adaptácie na úplne inú kultúru.
- Čo ich po trinástich rokoch viedlo k zásadnému rozhodnutiu vrátiť sa späť na Slovensko.
- Či je návrat domov po takej dlhej dobe jednoduchší ako samotný odchod do zahraničia.

Toto video je plné úprimných skúseností o kultúrnom šoku, rodinných putách a o tom, čo to dnes vlastne znamená „cítiť sa doma“.

💡 Pre študentov slovenčiny:
Rozhovor je vedený prirodzenou slovenčinou, vďaka čomu je ideálnym materiálom na trénovanie počúvania s porozumením a rozširovanie slovnej zásoby o témy sťahovania, práce a rodinného života.
