#13 Iran

Halo semua! 
Hari ini, kita akan membahas sesuatu yang dekat banget dengan keseharian kita.

Mungkin bagi orang asing, rutin memeriksa gigi adalah hal yang biasa. Tapi, bagi orang Indonesia, pergi ke dokter gigi adalah sesuatu yang sering dihindari. Bukan karena mahal atau tidak ada waktu, tapi karena... takut! Ya, takut sama suara bor, takut sama rasa sakit. Akhirnya, banyak orang yang lebih memilih minum obat penghilang rasa sakit daripada langsung pergi ke dokter gigi.

Pasti kalian juga pernah dengar orang bilang, "Aduh, mendingan sakit hati daripada ke dokter gigi, deh!" Nah, gimana menurut kalian? Lebih baik sakit gigi atau sakit hati?

Kalau saya sih, sejujurnya, dua-duanya tidak enak! Tapi kalau disuruh memilih, saya mungkin lebih memilih sakit gigi. Setidaknya, kalau sakit gigi, kita bisa pergi ke dokter gigi dan masalah selesai. Tapi kalau sakit hati? Aduh, masalahnya jadi panjang! Susah 'move on', bisa berlarut-larut dan butuh waktu lama untuk sembuh. Hahaha…

Jadi, ayo mulai sekarang, jaga gigi sebelum harus jaga hati yang terluka ya :p 
Sampai bertemu lagi di episode berikutnya, dada!

Speaking Activity - Animating the Objects around Us

Здравствуйте. Это девятый эпизод подкаста «Глубинный народ», взгляд на культуру России из провинции.

На странице 42 книги Primitive Secret Societies by Webster я прочитал о секретных мужских языках. Лично я считаю, что существует русский мужской язык.

В моём селе, если на улице встречаются трое-пятеро мужчин, они начинают разговаривать «за жизнь». Каждый старается казаться умнее и остроумнее, чем он обычно есть. И мудрые мысли и виртуозное владение языком порадуют внимательного слушателя. Не всегда, конечно. Но ведь «мудрость народная» недаром упоминается в гимне России.

И да, собеседники обильно посыпают свою речь матом. Делают это они не потому, что они злы, хотят кого-то унизить или одержимы сексом. Некоторые шутники называют мат «определёнными артиклями». Это не однообразные f bombs. Искусный русский мат высоко ценится.

Так вот, я считаю мат мужским языком. Это речь настоящего мужЫка, непременно с буквой Ы после Ж.

К сожалению, в наши дни можно чаще чем раньше слышать мат от женщин и школьников. Это шокирует мужчин моего поколения и воспитания. Уходит эпоха...

Глубинный народ

Русский мат

Strop. Codswallop. Knackered. Just like the picture of a chair in the street above (no, we don’t get it either), we Brits do say some strange things sometimes – usually because they evolved from the many, many (many) vastly different regional dialects that exist across the UK (or the strange and very long history of the English language.) Unfortunately, that doesn’t help if you’re learning English in Britain and can’t understand half of what people are saying!

hsk2  第一课  九月去北京旅游最好

Today, I saw a heartbreaking video on TikTok of an old man who retired at 72 years old. He worked decades for a company and he was extremely loyal, even if he was earning minimum wage. In this podcast, I will discuss some valuable lesson we can learn from that video.

DON'T BE A SLAVE TO YOUR JOB

Podcast by italki American English teacher Carl.
Book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582 
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today, I want to talk about how to take better photos with your cell phone, with your mobile phone. Now, it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android phone, like a Samsung or Google Pixel or whatever Android phone you have. These techniques will all apply and they will all help you take better photos.

So let's begin. Number one, make sure that you have enough storage on your phone so that you can take photos. Now, I know that I have this problem all the time. I don't have enough storage space and so then I don't take the photo because I don't want to take up space. So do yourself a favor and back your photos up to the cloud or back up to an external device and make sure you have enough space to take the photo in the first place.

Number two is to carry a portable battery charger. So if your phone doesn't have power, you can't take photos. So carry just a little USB charger with your phone. All right. We're almost ready to actually begin taking photos.  So here we go for the actual taking photos. Clean your lens. So your phone lens will get oils off of your finger.
And that will make the images less clear and more blurry. So clean your lens. It can be with a t- shirt or whatever, but always, always, always clean your lens before you take photos with your phone.


Number two, when you take a picture, choose the hero of your photo. So that doesn't even if it's just taking a picture of your food where you've had what you're having for dinner. Choose whatever is the most important item on the plate. And make that your hero. So if that's your steak or if it's a piece of asparagus, make that the center of attention for the video.
It doesn't have to be in the dead center, but it should be the main subject. And that's also with a person. Sorry text count limit
