Сегодня пишем отрывок из повести Николая Васильевича Гоголя “Невский проспект” с рассуждениями о том, какое у судьбы бывает чувство юмора.

Делаем как и раньше. Я читаю текст два раза. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали.

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “пятый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Отрывок из повести Гоголя о судьбе (диктант)

Dear listeners,

Today, I want to share with you a Lithuanian folktale that has its roots deeply embedded in the past, far predating any traces of written Lithuanian. Eglė Žalčių Karalienė is a tale about sorcery, unpredicted love and involuntary betrayal, that has been passed on verbally for millennia. Rich in mythology and life lessons, I believe it would make a great listen for anyone interested in Lithuania, its culture and language. 

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Contribee. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.

El Bosque de Chapultepec.

Como toda gran ciudad, la capital mexicana cuenta con un pulmón que oxigena a la urbe y sus alrededores. Este querido bosque, no solo concentra espacios verdes para la recreación, lagos, museos y un zoológico, sino que también es sede del único castillo en toda América: El Castillo de Chapultepec. Este último, además de haber acogido en su época al emperador Maximiliano de Habsburgo y a su esposa, la emperatriz Carlota, también funcionó como Colegio Militar y residencia presidencial, antes de convertirse en museo.

Puedes conocerlo de martes a domingo, subiendo por un camino específicamente trazado para llevarte hasta la cima del Cerro del Chapulín. Sus exuberantes jardines te recibirán y de inmediato sentirás haber viajado en el tiempo, pero es parte de la magia del lugar. En su colección permanente, encontrarás pinturas, calzado y prendas con al menos dos siglos de antigüedad, así como muebles que pertenecieron a Carlota y Maximiliano.

Si te gustan las actividades al aire libre, Chapultepec es un espacio donde puedes practicar desde una caminata matutina, hasta entrenamientos para correr un maratón. El interior del bosque también ofrece actividades culturales y de esparcimiento. Dentro de la Casa del Lago “Juan José Arreola”, se desarrollan talleres, proyecciones cinematográficas y hasta conciertos al aire libre. Los fines de semana, podrás deleitarte con jazz en vivo, rock o alguna propuesta progresiva sin pagar un solo peso, toma asiento en el pasto y disfruta.

Saliendo del Bosque de Chapultepec y a unos cuantos metros, encontrarás tres museos imperdibles. El primero es el Museo de Arte Moderno, para el que no tendrás que cambiarte de acera sino avanzar en dirección al sur. Ahí se exponen colecciones que incluyen obras de Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo y José Luis Cuevas entre otros artistas plásticos, así como fotografías de Henri Cartier-Bresson, Tina Modotti y Manuel Álvarez Bravo, solo por citar algunos.
