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)

Halo semua! Selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Ini adalah podcast pertama saya di Italki. Saya lumayan gugup atau “deg-degan”. Kalian tahu arti kata “deg-degan”? Di Bahasa Jepang artinya “どきどき、緊張する”、di Bahasa Inggris artinya “nervous”. 
Saya pikir kalian juga pernah merasa gugup atau deg-degan waktu berbicara di depan orang banyak. Kalau kalian deg-degan, biasanya kalian melakukan apa? Hmm.. kalau saya, bolak-balik ke toilet ^^;  “Bolak-balik” ini juga ekspresi ya, di Bahasa Jepang artinya “行ったり来たり” , di Bahasa Inggris artinya “back and forth”.
Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Semoga hari ini kalian tidak deg-degan melakukan sesuatu ya ^^

Man Fired for Keeping Webcam Off Awarded $73,000
A remote worker who was fired for refusing to keep his camera on while working has been awarded about $73,000 by a Dutch court.

The man, whose name was not made public, had been working for the US software company Chetu in the Netherlands since 2019. On August 23, 2022, while working remotely, he was told by his employer that he should keep his webcam on all day for online training.

The employee said he didn't feel comfortable being monitored on camera for nine hours, and refused to do so. He added that the company could already see all activities on his laptop and that he was also sharing his screen.

But Chetu said that having a camera on was no different from being watched in an office. And the company fired him.

Finding this unfair, the man took the company to court in the Netherlands. He told the court that he hadn't been given clear enough reasons for being fired, and that asking him to keep his camera on for the whole workday was against his right to privacy.

And the court agreed. Chetu now must pay the man about $73,000.

While using a webcam to check on employees may not be very common, computer programs that monitor employee activity have become popular.

A survey from 2021 found that 60% of US companies with remote workers were using employee monitoring software, and 81% of those companies found that their workers were more productive while being monitored.

De todos los restaurantes que se ubican en el Centro Histórico de la ciudad, sin duda, destacan aquellos que se descubren dentro de hermosas casonas que datan de hace siglos. Uno de los más conocidos, concurridos y afamados es el mítico Café de Tacuba.

Este restaurante tiene ya más de 100 años, y es que además de su delicioso y mexicano menú, son sus muros los que embelesan a cualquier comensal que ingresa al lugar. Las mesas, la música y las pinturas transportan a todo visitante al México del siglo XX. Es preciso decir que el Café de Tacuba ha permeado la idiosincrasia capitalina desde hace años, por su gran tradición y preciosa decoración.

Pero hay algunos datos de su historia que muchos citadinos desconocen. Vale la pena echar un vistazo a su pasado para verdaderamente comprender los momentos que le otorgaron tanta identidad.

El inmueble que alberga hoy el Café de Tacuba fue construido desde el siglo XVII. Cabe mencionar, que a principios del siglo XX, esta casona fungía como sede de una lechería. Para 1912, Dionisio Mollinero llegó desde Tabasco a la Ciudad de México para fundar un restaurante de auténticas y tradicionales delicias mexicanas. Eligió esta increíble residencia de la calle de Tacuba para hacerlo.

El arte que adorna todos los alrededores del Café de Tacuba es admirable. Lo que más resalta son sus vitrales y mosaicos. Pero también conviene voltear a ver las obras pictóricas, pues muchas son de la época novohispana. Uno de los cuadros más famosos se llama La niña en traje rojo, y es de José de la Borda. También llaman la atención unos óleos de Carlos González, que narran con bellas imágenes el descubrimiento del mole y el chocolate.
