In this episode, I talk about common ways to ask someone to repeat what they said. 
Make sure that you do the quiz attached to the episode and subscribe to never miss an episode. 
Enjoy! 

Summary:
Say: 
Pardon? Pardon me? (rising intonation) 
Sorry? I'm sorry? (Rising intonation; informal)
I missed what you said.
I didn't catch that. 
I didn't get that. 

Avoid: What? Huh? (Sounds rude)
Avoid: "Can you repeat?" (Wrong; "repeat" is usually transitive, and therefore needs an object)

Сказка о рыбаке и  рыбке  часть 6

外婆，好想多一些了解你（下）
外婆养了好几只猫。其实算不上养，因为那些都是流浪猫，突然跑到院子来，给它们吃的，就留下来了。半年或一年后，他们又会突然消失。外婆不想念它们，名字也不取，一只消失，一只又来了。
外婆最害怕冲突，最喜欢亲人团聚。每次他在电话里叫大家回来聚，那种语气，有一丝胆怯。害怕打扰，又鼓起勇气，她一辈子付出，几乎没什么自我表达。全世界的外婆都是这样。我想多了解她一些，可她习惯了沉默，好像从来不需要得到些什么。

关于人的性格、心理感觉的一些词：
1.怕冲突：怕冲突的人喜欢大家都开开心心的。
2.胆怯：这位新同学小声地向大家介绍了自己，有些胆怯。
3.有勇气：能面对失败的人，都是有勇气的人。  他没有勇气做这个决定。
4.付出：他总是付出给别人，不在乎自己得到了什么。
5.表达：他是一个很表达的人。
6.沉默：父亲的爱是一种沉默的爱，总是说得很少，做得很多。
7.温和：外婆是一个温和的胖老太太。

One of the most charming features of the Italian language is its apparent clarity. Unlike English, Italian is often described as a phonetic language: words are usually pronounced exactly as they are written.
Yet even in this musical and “transparent” tongue, there are exceptions—letters that fade, soften, or vanish depending on dialect, speed, or etymology. These are Italy’s hidden sounds, traces of the language’s long evolution from Latin to modern speech.

Let’s uncover some of the most interesting cases.
