Il corpo di Philip Kleinman, famoso architetto americano, viene ritrovato in una stanza di Palazzo Carli, il luogo in cui si è appena svolta una conferenza, a cui lo stesso Kleinman ha partecipato. Accanto al cadavere viene ritrovato un foglietto di carta su cui c'è scritto il numero 88. Quale sarà mai il significato di questo numero?  E chi è l'assassino?

Scenario 1: That "half-awake" feeling 🥱

*"I’m awake, but my brain is still loading..."* ☕️

Ever wake up and feel like your eyes won't fully open? You're awake, but your mind is still in a fog. How do native speakers describe this state?

💬 "I feel groggy."
(I'm dazed / I'm still half-asleep).

Groggy describes that specific feeling of weakness, dizziness, or mental confusion immediately after waking up or after a long nap.

✅ Let's practice:
🔹 B1: I feel groggy this morning.
🔹 B2: I always feel a bit groggy until I have my first coffee.
🔹 C1: I’m still feeling a little groggy after that long nap.

Episode #76 - Mystic Festival 2024

En el episodio de esta semana te hablo de algunas expresiones muy comunes que usamos para comparar en español. Las expresiones de las que vamos a hablar son comparativas de igualdad y usan el verbo estar, por lo tanto todas tienen la estructura “estar como”. Y aunque en español hay muchas cosas que no tienen sentido, estas expresiones no son unas de ellas. En cuanto te explique el significado de cada una de ellas, vas a ver lo acertadas que son.

Espero que, como siempre, disfrutes el episodio. Si lo haces, no te olvides de dejar una pequeña valoración en la plataforma desde la que lo estás escuchando.

Además, no te olvides que me encanta escuchar tus opiniones, después de escucharlo pásate por mi instagram y dime qué piensas del tema de hoy, ¿habías escuchado alguna de estas compraciones antes?

Welcome to Comme se dice?, the podcast that celebrates the Neapolitan language and its rich cultural heritage. In this fourth episode, we dive into the world of the words “Paisà” and “Sciuscià,” terms that narrate stories from an era marked by World War II, the struggles of immigrants, and pivotal historical events such as the Quattro Giornate di Napoli.
Throughout the episode, we analyze the historical context in which these words were born and evolved, highlighting their connection with neorealist films – particularly Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà and Vittorio De Sica’s Sciuscià. By exploring this dialogue between history, cinema, and everyday language, we uncover how “Paisà” and “Sciuscià” have become enduring symbols of resilience, courage, and rebirth, conveying the daily realities of life during times of crisis and change.
This episode is an invitation for anyone interested in exploring the intricate links between language and history, providing insightful reflections on how words can encapsulate entire eras and cultures. Whether you are passionate about history, neorealist cinema, or the Neapolitan language, get ready for an exciting journey into the heart of historical and artistic memory. Press play, relax, and let yourself be carried away by a narrative that unites art, reality, and emotion. Jammo ja!

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの29回目です。もうすぐ30回です。このポッドキャストは毎週更新しているので、半年以上続いている計算になります。それと、6月3日は開業記念日でした。私は2019年のこの日に、フリーランスの語学講師として税務署に開業届を提出しました。今年で3年目になります。ここまで続いているのはみなさんのおかげです。いつも本当にありがとうございます。

Hello. This is episode 29 of my podcast. It is almost 30 times. The podcast is updated weekly, which means it has been running for more than six months. Also, 3 June was my opening day. On this day in 2019, I registered my business with the tax office as a freelance language teacher. This year will be my third year. It is thanks to all of you that I have lasted this long. Thank you so much for everything.

今月末に、italki主催のウェビナーでホストを務めることになりました。日本語教育のニッチの見つけ方について話します。プレゼンテーション用のスライドを作るのは久しぶりです。今回のウェビナーは先生向けですが、先生以外の人にも役立つ内容にしたいと考えています。詳細が決まり次第お知らせします。

I will be hosting a webinar hosted by italki at the end of this month. I will be talking about how to find a niche in Japanese language teaching. It has been a long time since I have made slides for a presentation. This webinar is aimed at teachers, but I hope it will be useful for non-teachers as well. I will let you know as soon as we have more details.

大阪は暑い日が続いています。毎日最高気温が30度ぐらいあり、すっかり夏です。暑いと食欲が出ないし、筋トレも大変に感じるので、体調を崩しやすいです。鼻水は止まりましたが、家にいてばかりだと、体が重く感じます。今日は休みだったので、スーパーで買い物をした後、散歩に出かけました。

The weather in Osaka continues to be hot. The maximum temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius every day and it is totally summer. When it's hot, I don't have much of an appetite and muscle training feels hard, so it's easy to get sick. My runny nose has stopped, but if I stay at home all the time, I feel heavy. Today was my day off, so after shopping at the supermarket, I went for a walk.

私の家から近い難波駅のひとつ隣に、心斎橋という駅があります。このあたりは、デパートや外資系のブランドの路面店が多いショッピング街です。東京の新宿や表参道に似ています。午後6時ぐらいに行くと、人がたくさんいて、買い物や食事をしています。私はまず服屋に行って、それからアイスコーヒーを買いました。
