French Pronunciation to go

Pronunciation of the nasal sound "in"

En el episodio de esta semana te hablo de la palabra abracadabra. Palabra reconocida en muchos idiomas y asociada con la magia, pero, ¿sabes su origen? ¿Y los diferentes usos que se le han dado a lo largo del tiempo? Te lo cuento todo, o mejor dicho, casi todo, ya que abracadabra es una palabra misteriosa, y su origen y usos parece que también.

En el episodio también te hablo de un reto que he creado para ti, y que lo inspiro.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio. Si lo haces, por favor no te olvides de dejar una valoración al podcast en la plataforma desde la que lo estás escuchando. ¡Eso me ayuda muchísimo!

#8 Магия кофе

Welcome to this episode of Everyday Italian! In this episode, we’re focusing on essential phrases you can use when you need someone to repeat what they said or explain something better.

Learning Italian can sometimes be challenging, and it’s completely normal not to understand everything in a conversation. Being able to ask for clarification will boost your confidence and help you engage more fully in your interactions.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

	•	Come? (What?)
	•	Puoi ripetere, per favore? (Can you repeat that, please?)
	•	Non ho capito. (I didn’t understand.)
	•	Cosa significa? (What does that mean?)
	•	Puoi parlare più lentamente, per favore? (Can you speak more slowly, please?)

These phrases are practical and easy to use, ensuring you can communicate effectively while learning. Remember, asking for clarification is a natural part of the language learning process!

Con una pluma bastante mordaz y curiosa Rosa Montero nos acerca al análisis de la creatividad y los desequilibrios mentales, conocidos coloquialmente como locura, entre escritores y otros artistas a través de los tiempos, pero iniciando en una observación muy personal de sus propias rarezas y sus períodos de absoluta imaginación, tan ambivalentes como tranquilizadores al ser ella misma quien se nos presenta.
