¡Hola!  Welcome to Español from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Spanish.

Today’s practice is focused on the verb Llamarse (to be called). Basically the verb that we use to talk about people’s names.

The exercise is really short and simple! Your job is to find the mistakes in these sentences (only one of them is correct):

Yo llamo Rafael 
Nosotros nos llamos Pedro y Juan 
Ella se llaman Claudia
Tú te llamas Lucas
Ellos se llama Ana y Sebastián

What is at the end of the story?

Is the story going to end? 

What's out there, have you explored it yet?

Try to 'quantum jump there' and explore what 'there' is like?

How does it feel to 'be already there'?

Do you think you can spend more time 'being there' and 'experiencing more of it'?

Sure thing, its your imagination but the cool thing about it - you'll experience just that which you've experienced now!

Tell me how it felt and what's 'out there' like for you??

What is the end goal of your learning a language?

Un escritor terriblemente vanidoso, que no podía soportar que nadie criticara sus obras, estaba un día en el café y entró un amigo diciendole:
Acabo de Hablar con uno que anda diciendo horrores de tus escritos.
-¡Esto es una ofensa! ¡Dime quien es! ¡Prónto!
-Es alguien a quien no conoces.
-Está bien: voy a salir a la calle, y al primero que no conozca: ¡le rompo la cara!

В этом выпуске вы узнаете, чем закончится история Анны Карениной и Алексея Вронского. 


Russian with a tale

"Анна Каренина" (Часть 2, финал)

What do you do if you see an object in a plastic bag lying around at a bus stop?

Most people would say: "Don't touch it!"

That's very good advice — most of the time.

But an object that was once found in a plastic shopping bag at a bus stop has just sold for $22.3 million at auction.

It was a painting by a great artist from Venice known as Titian. It's called The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, and it has a long and interesting history.

Although it's thought of as a masterpiece, it's one of the artist's smaller paintings. In fact, it's only 46 centimeters high and 63 centimeters wide.

Titian painted it early in the 16th century, when he was 20.

The painting, which depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph from the Bible, has been owned by a number of rich and famous Europeans, including Austrian emperors.

It was taken from Vienna in 1809 by French soldiers, although it was later returned to the Austrian capital.

Later, it was bought by a British collector, but it was stolen in 1995.

And for seven years it was lost. After a reward of almost $130,000 was offered to anyone who could find the painting, it turned up at a London bus stop.

It had no frame when it was found by a well known art detective, but it was in quite good condition.

It had been expected to make between $19 million and $32 million at auction in London. The final amount was a new record for a Titian painting.

But that still might not be a good enough reason to go looking in plastic bags at bus stops!

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

#224でTOEIC TESTを受けました！という話をしました。
3週間後にネットで結果が確認できる、ということでした。そして、数日前にその結果が出たというメールがきました。ぼくは早速、結果を確認しました。

目標の点数は600点だったんですが、結果はなんと…

650点！

でした！👏

人によって、どう思うかは違うと思いますが、ぼくにとってはとても大きな成果でした。もう少し悪かったらPodcastで話すつもりはなかったんですが、思ってたよりも良かったので話しました笑

5年ぐらい前に受けた時は500点ぐらいでした。それから全然受けていなかったし、3年ぐらいはあまりちゃんと勉強はしてませんでした。でも、この1年半ぐらいはitalkiで英語の日常会話の練習をしたり、ニュースを英語で読んだり、語彙ごいを覚えたり、発音を練習したりしました。
いわゆる、
listening
reading
speaking
ですね。
writingはまだほとんどしてないですが。

それでも、できるだけ毎日英語にふれるようにしてきました。それが少し成果につながったと思うととてもうれしいです。italkiの先生に次のレッスンでお礼を言おうと思います！

もちろん、まだまだ話すことはむずかしいです。
でも前よりは楽しいし、わかるようになったし、話せるようにもなりました。

海外で生活できるレベルかどうかわかりませんが、それに向けて、引き続きがんばりたいと思います！

でもぼく以上に、ぼくのレッスンを受けてくれている方たちの方が、めっちゃ日本語を勉強しています！これは本当にいつもすごいなと思います。ぼくはいつもたくさん刺激を受けます。ありがとうございます！

みなさんと同じぐらい、これからも楽しみながら、英語との勉強と、今年はオランダ語をがんばりたいと思います！

これを聞いて、ちょっと日本語の勉強をがんばりたいと思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！サポートします！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
