In this episode, I explore my journey through university as a chemistry student. From juggling two degrees to questioning the academic system, I reflect on what led me to study chemistry and how it shaped the way I think today. What does it mean to truly understand the world - and is science really objective?

How a Scientist Thinks - Immersive Italian Podcast Ep.6

给爸爸、妈妈的信！
爸爸、妈妈，你们好吗？我来中国三个月了。我能说汉语了，会写汉字了，还看了一本汉语书。你们听了高兴吗？北京今天下雨了，很冷。你们那儿怎么样呢？我们学校有一个汉语老师。同学们都很喜欢他。老师的家在学校前面。有时候，我们坐出租车去他家玩。他请我们喝茶、吃中国菜。他家的桌子、椅子都是中国风，很漂亮。我的朋友病了。昨天上午，我和他去了医院。医生说，现在天气很冷，你要多喝热水；多吃菜和水果；多睡觉。
我想睡觉了，爸爸妈妈晚安！
你们的女儿。

Episode #67 - My favorite Anime in this year

This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!

Describing Appearances in Chinese (In a Nice Way)!

En el episodio de hoy comento unas frases muy comunes que todos los españoles usamos, pero que sabemos que son mentiras. Estas frases que usamos en momentos concretos son frases que sentimos o pensamos cuando las decimos, pero que después olvidamos rápidamente o, son frases que en ese momento determinado queremos, nos gustarían que fueran ciertas.

Escucha el episodio y después pásate por mi instagram para decirme si habías escuchado estas frases antes y si usaís también estas frases en tu país.

Souricette et Jacquot
Souricette a trouvé un morceau de fromage derrière un meuble. Elle le grignote, installée sur la table de la cuisine. Tout à coup, elle entend une petite voix crier :
- Que fais-tu là, Souricette ? Tu veux bien lâcher ce fromage ou j’appelle le chat !
Souricette court se réfugier dans son trou, et tremble de peur. Elle pointe son museau pour voir qui a parlé… C’est Jacquot, le perroquet ! Il a voulu lui faire une farce et se balance en chantant sur son perchoir.
- C’est malin, dit Souricette, j’ai perdu mon fromage!
- Mais non, répond Jacquot, il est ici, près de ma cage. Viens, nous allons bavarder tous les deux. Tu pourras manger tranquillement. Nous ne parlerons pas du chat, c’est promis.
