Super Basic Spanish

Basic Spanish: El español en el mundo (Spanish in the world)

В этом выпуске вы познакомитесь со сказкой "репка". Эта сказка очень известная, потому что в ней говорится о простых вещах: важность работы в команде и важность семьи. 
Дедушка сажает овощ репку, но репка вырастает слишком большая, поэтому дедушке сложно сделать всю работу одному...

А здесь вы найдете новые слова, которые вам могут быть нужны: 
Свернуть горы - move mountains;
Посадить - to plant;
Тащить/вытащить, тянуть/потянуть - to drag/to pull;
Земля - land, soil.

А вот текст в конце сказки (spoiler alert): 
"мышка за кошку,
кошка за Жучку,
Жучка за внучку,
внучка за бабку,
бабка за дедку,
дедка за репку 
тянут-потянут, — вытянули репку!"
- Почему ЗА + падеж 4? - Потому что мышка ((держится)) за кошку и т.д.

Что такое репка ?

Một hôm Thỏ mẹ dặn Thỏ con: 
-" Thỏ con của mẹ, con ở nhà chớ đi chơi xa con nhé"
-" Vâng ạ, con ở nhà, con không đi chơi xa"
Nhưng Bươm bướm bay đến, Bươm bướm gọi:
-" Thỏ con ơi, ra vườn kia chơi đi. Ở đấy có cỏ này, có hoa này, thích lắm"
Thỏ con liền chạy theo Bươm bướm. Thỏ con đi chơi mãi, chơi mãi, xa, thật xa.
Thế rồi Thỏ con quên cả lối về nhà. Thỏ con khóc hu hu và gọi:
-" Mẹ ơi, mẹ ơi"
Bác Gấu đi qua, thấy Thỏ con khóc, Bác dắt Thỏ con về nhà. Thỏ mẹ chạy ra ôm Thỏ con.
Thỏ con nói với mẹ:
-" Mẹ, mẹ dặn con ở nhà, con lại đi chơi xa, con xin lỗi mẹ"
