Hi there! Welcome to today’s mini podcast. Let’s talk about the idiom “break the ice.”  
This means to do or say something to make people feel more comfortable, especially in social situations. For example, if you’re at a party and nobody’s talking, you might tell a funny story to break the ice. Here’s a quick tip: jokes or compliments are great icebreakers. Try using it in your conversations today!

Hello, everyone!
Salut, les amis!

Being a French language learner I am always eager to make an order in a restaurant myself without any help of a menu in English (if such exists). Moreover, I need to be very precise about a terrible allergy I have. Otherwise… no more learning, or teaching, or going to restaurants for your teacher Elena 😊.

Poesia in cui Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954), poliedrica poetessa e pittrice messicana, riflette sul valore della vita, una vita che, nonostante la grande sofferenza fisica e mentale che le ha causato, non ha mai smesso di amare.

"Di Struggente Bellezza"

Ho smesso di contare le volte in cui,
arrivata alla seconda riga,
ho cancellato e riscritto tutto nuovamente.
Cercavo un inizio ad effetto,
qualcosa di poetico e vero allo stesso tempo,
qualcosa di grandioso, ma agli occhi.

Non ci sono riuscita.
Poi ho capito,
ricordando ciò che non avevo mai saputo:
che per i grandi cuori
che muoiono nel corpo
ma che continuano a battere nel respiro della notte,
non ci sono canoni o bellezze regolari,
armonie esteriori,
ma tuoni e temporali devastanti
che portano ad illuminare un fiore,
nascosto,
di struggente bellezza.
