几 (jǐ) and 多少 (duōshǎo) are both words in Chinese that can be translated as "how many" or "how much" in English, but they are used in different contexts and convey slightly different meanings.
几 (jǐ) is usually used to ask about a small quantity, it can be roughly under 10, the number is vague.
For example:
你有几个兄弟？ (Nǐ yǒu jǐ gè xiōngdì?)
How many brothers do you have?
我这里有几张照片？ (Wǒ zhèlǐ yǒu jǐ zhāng zhàopiàn?)
How many photos do I have here?
现在几点？
Xiànzài jǐ diǎn
What time is it now?

多少 (duōshǎo) is usually used to ask about a bigger quantity. When the number is not certain but you assume it's definitely more than ten, it's better to ask the question with 多少 (duōshao) instead of 几 (jǐ). For example:
这个东西多少钱？ (Zhège dōngxi duōshǎo qián?)
How much does this thing cost?
你的工资多少？ (Nǐ de gōngzī duōshǎo?)
How much is your salary?

Note that in some contexts, 几 (jǐ) and 多少 (duōshǎo) can be used interchangeably, especially in spoken Chinese. In this case, the choice of word may depend on the speaker's style or emphasis.

TENOCHTITLÁN.

Como tal, se puede señalar que el surgimiento de  Tenochtitlan comenzó con el proceso de la migración de los aztecas chichimecas, quienes recibían ese nombre por habitar la tierra de Aztlán, en donde adoraban a Huitzilopochtli, deidad que los guiaría hacia un nuevo lugar. Los aztecas no eran la única tribu chichimeca que emprendería este proceso de migración pues como refiere Hernando de Alvarado Tezozómoc, existían siete barrios, cada uno identificado por una deidad.

El proceso de migración tomó varios años antes de alcanzar la Cuenca de México, pasando por diversos lugares y asentamientos en donde se fueron estableciendo al ser pueblos que conocían y practicaban la agricultura, no obstante, también eran personas dedicadas a la guerra, pues tal como refiere Tezozómoc en el mito de Malinalxóchitl, al momento en que los aztecas abandonaron a Malinalxóchitl lo hicieron por la voluntad de Huitzilopochtli que tenía como encargo traer armas, arco, flechas y rodelas, al ser su principal oficio la guerra.

How long should the lesson be? 

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

さて、今日は日本の祝日について。
今日2/11は建国記念日です。

日本ができた、とされる日です。

今日が祝日になったのは、1967年。
はじめの天皇が即位した日、天皇になった日のことですね。

それが、現在の2/11とされています。

それで、今は2/11が建国記念日になっている、ということですね。

神社などでは行事があるみたいですが、ぼくは参加したことはありません。ほとんどの人にとっては、普通の祝日だと思います。

みなさんの国には、建国記念日みたいな祝日はありますか？

そんな話をぜひ日本語のオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

お待ちしています！

ということで、今回は以上です。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
