One Minute Speaking Challenge: Wouldn't it be nice if...?

Сегодня прочтем отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали”, автор Ян Ларри. Это история о том, как один профессор и двое детей (их имена есть в названии - мальчик Карик и девочка Валя) стали очень маленькими и исследовали наш мир с другой стороны, так сказать. Я очень любила эту книжку в детстве.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: це́лый - весь, полный - whole; забы́ть - перестать помнить - to forget; находи́ться - быть, пребывать, иметься где-нибудь - to be, locate; склони́ться - нагнуться, опуститься - to bow down; ста́рый знако́мый - an old acquaintance; стекло́ - glass; пау́к - spider; сра́зу - немедленно, в тот же момент - at once, right away, straight; рассмотре́ть - всматриваясь, распознать, осмотреть - to descry; ко́нчик его ноги - tip of his foot; ко́готь (или когото́к) - ноготь зверя или птицы - claw; гре́бень - crest, comb; у́зел паути́ны - web node; бык - bull; разгляде́ть - то же самое, что рассмотреть - to make out; че́люсть - jaw; взду́тый - swollen; брю́хо - живот животного - belly, abdomen; охо́титься - заниматься охотой - to hunt.

Отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали” Ян Ларри

¿Qué tienen en común el telar de Platón, las arañas políglotas y las cercas de ramas ancestrales?
En este episodio de "Domando los verbos en español", desentrañamos la poesía oculta en verbos como tejer, entrelazar y trenzar. Desde la metáfora política de Platón hasta el musubu japonés (結ぶ), exploramos cómo los hilos verbales entrecruzan culturas, construyen alianzas y dan forma a nuestra percepción del mundo. Con paradas en el quechua, el mapudungun y el chino clásico, descubrirás que aprender un idioma es dominar el arte milenario de la lanzadera lingüística.
