Conversazione con Matteo, il toscano

In today's podcast we take a look at the vocabulary you need to talk about clothing and fashion. In particular, you learn what it means to 'dress up to the nines', and the difference between 'it doesn't fit me' and 'it doesn't suit me'. We also learn about some of the most common mistakes students make when they discuss this topic (never say 'I bought many clothes recently'). And finally, we take a look at some of the most common IELTS questions about clothes. So whatever your needs, listen now, and feel more confident whenever you talk about what you wear, going shopping, and looking fashionable.
Please feel free to write me a message about this topic, or tell me about what topic you'd like on my next podcast. Better still, book a lesson now, and let's start talking all about clothes and fashion.

Una receta colombiana sencilla y deliciosa: Arepas de Queso. Es una receta tradicional y fácil de preparar, ideal para practicar español.

Arepas de Queso

Ingredientes:

2 tazas de harina de maíz precocida (preferiblemente harina PAN)
1 1/2 tazas de agua tibia
1 taza de queso rallado (puede ser queso blanco, mozzarella, o el queso de tu preferencia)
1 cucharadita de sal
Mantequilla al gusto (para cocinar y para servir)

Instrucciones:

Preparar la masa: En un bol grande, mezcla la harina de maíz con la sal. Luego, añade poco a poco el agua tibia mientras mezclas con las manos hasta obtener una masa homogénea y suave. La masa no debe ser ni muy seca ni muy húmeda. Si está muy seca, añade un poco más de agua; si está muy húmeda, agrega un poco más de harina.

Agregar el queso: Incorpora el queso rallado a la masa y mezcla bien hasta que esté distribuido uniformemente.

Formar las arepas: Divide la masa en porciones iguales (alrededor de 6-8 porciones, dependiendo del tamaño que desees). Forma bolas con cada porción y luego aplánalas con las manos hasta obtener discos de aproximadamente 1 cm de grosor.

Cocinar las arepas: Calienta una sartén grande a fuego medio y agrega un poco de mantequilla. Cocina las arepas en la sartén, aproximadamente 5-7 minutos por cada lado, hasta que estén doradas y crujientes por fuera, y el queso se haya derretido en el interior.

Servir: Sirve las arepas calientes con un poco de mantequilla por encima. ¡Disfruta!

Episode 10 : It's not rocket science

A leitura de hoje nos faz pensar sobre a sociedade de consumo a qual fazemos parte e somos atravessados, um texto do século passado que ainda hoje ressoa forte em nosso cotidiano. Na crônica Eu sei, mas não devia escrita pela autora Marina Colasanti para o Jornal do Brasil em 1972 nos faz lembrar de como deixamos nossas vidas serem pouco a pouco enquadradas dentro de rotinas e repetições que nos distanciam da beleza do agora. Ler as palavras de Marina é vislumbrar o capitalismo como um comedor de tempo, de mente, de corpos, de mundos. Espero que goste de ouvir tanto quanto gostei de ler. 

Ah! Ao final preparei um vocabulário com algumas palavras e expressões que surgiram na crônica. 

Tenha uma boa escuta!
