A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

В этом выпуске мы познакомимся с котом, который пришёл погостить у девушки. Ты сможешь практиковать со мной много полезных глаголов. Постарайся также прочитать текст, пока ты слушаешь аудио и после прочтения, повтори со мной все глаголы. 


Днём я почти ничего не делала. Я сидела в кресле, пила чай и читала книгу "Мастер и Маргарита". Я уснула на пару часов и проснулась   в 7 вечера. Было очень холодно в доме и я услышала странные звуки на улице. Я вышла на улицу, но никого не было. Я вошла в дом и закрыла дверь. Я начала готовить себе ужин, но увидела  тень в окне. Я испугалась  и ещё раз вышла на улицу. Я увидела чёрного кота и успокоилась. "Ты меня очень сильно напугал. Что ты делаешь тут, в лесу? Откуда ты пришёл?" 
У кота на шее был брелок и на брелоке было написано имя "Мурзик". 
Я сразу подумала, что это чей-то   кот и не знала что делать, потому что на брелоке не было номера. Я впустила  кота в дом. Он был очень ласковый и всегда мурчал. Я дала ему тёплое молоко и потом он захотел прыгнуть на моё кресло. Мне кажется, что он пришёл-vino не просто погостить, но жить у меня. Я очень удивилась, но мне нравятся кошки. Поэтому я решила оставить его дома на ночь.

Learn German with Stories is something absolutely new in podcasting:

1) we pick you up at your level, with a constant, low ammount of new words per episode, starting from zero
2) we lead you to your goal in small steps, (we split the grammar into 100 pieces and slowly spoonfeed it to you)
3) we have a full-blown, continuous story, played by over 30 professional voice actors, designed to always make you hungry for more!

The story will have 100 episodes in total, and they will stay free forever. It's suitable for ages 12 and up. We cover the most useful and important German, which is 
all the words and grammar of the first level, A1. But also advanced learners benefit from it, because it goes much deeper than the standard A1 level. German Stories 
is one and a half years in the making, and it’s the most ambitious and unconventional German learning podcast yet. We hope you enjoy our show!

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,
Anatoly
