Journey on the Tip of the Tongue“舌尖上的中国话”

Delicious Fate·美味奇缘[měi wèi qí yuán]

En este episodio de Porteña, te contaré por qué en toda la Argentina, y en partes de toda América Latina, se utiliza el pronombre "vos". ¡No te lo pierdas!

Porteña

¿Por qué decimos vos en lugar de tú?

Nivel: A2 B1. Hoy te cuento otro relato o experiencia.

Esta vez, el episodio es sobre el efecto en mi vida de estudiar otro idioma, y mi punto de vista sobre el impacto de aprender idiomas en la vida de las personas en general. Como punto de gramática vamos a trabajar con verbos y expresiones en PASADO. 

Este episodio tiene un PDF con la transcripción. Solo tienes que pedirlo. 
Nos vemos en clase. Gracias por estar aquí. por comentar y participar. 🥰

Las propuestas para preparar otros temas.. ¡son bienvenidas!.

Dagens avsnitt handlar om mitt klädbytarevent som jag höll i helgen. Klädbytardagar är ett koncept som jag älskar så mycket. Det är ett hållbart sätt att både ge och få. Jag pratar om hur fast fashion inte är hållbart och att alla borde starta ett klädbytarevent i sin stadsdel. Jag lovar det är hur kul som helst.

提起水坝，人们脑海中可能会出现很多宏伟的大坝建筑： When you think of DAMS, you probably think of a lot of grand dam buildings:
比如：美国的胡佛水坝和中国的三峡大坝等。For example, the Hoover Dam in the United States and the Three Gorges Dam in China.
它们的建筑材料是：土石或钢筋水泥。Their construction material is: earth stone or reinforced cement.
在山东省临沂市，我见到了一个另类的水坝：用橡胶材料建造的。因为建坝地址的原始村名叫“小埠东（bù dōng）”，所以叫“小埠东橡胶坝。” In Linyi, Shandong Province, I saw a different kind of dam: it was made of rubber material. The native village where the dam is built is named “xiǎo bù dōng”, so that is the reason.

This warm and heartfelt message is for you when you're learning Korean.
Take a moment to relax and recharge.

어젯밤에도 잠을 설쳤죠.
오늘은 조금 괜찮을까 했는데,
아침부터 일이 꼬이기만 했어요.
그런 날,
우리 모두 있잖아요.
하지만 잊지 마세요.
그런 날에도
당신은 멈추지 않았다는 걸요.
넘어져도,
힘들어도,
다시 일어나 한 걸음씩 나아갔잖아요.
그건 정말 대단한 거예요.
오늘의 당신은 충분히 멋졌습니다.
그리고 내일은 더 빛날 거예요.
잠시 쉬어도 괜찮아요.
당신은 그럴 자격이 있으니까요.
오늘도 수고한 당신,
충분히 잘하고 있어요.

You had trouble sleeping last night again, didn’t you?
You thought today might be better,
but things have been going wrong since morning.
We all have days like that, don’t we?
But don’t forget,
even on days like that,
you didn’t stop moving forward.
Even when you stumbled,
even when it was tough,
you got back up and took one step at a time.
That’s truly amazing.
You were incredible today.
And tomorrow, you’ll shine even brighter.
It’s okay to take a break.
You deserve it.
To you, who worked so hard today,
you’re doing great.
