Episode 1: Does learning a new language change your perception?

Escúchalo con calma y trata de quedarte con las ideas principales.

En el pódcast que estás a punto de escuchar, oirás hablar sobre platos y bebidas costarricenses que quizás no conozcas.

Una expresión puramente costarricense es ¡Pura vida! Es tan común que a veces es lo primero que aprenden muchos extranjeros en español (sobre todo estadounidenses) gracias al turismo internacional del país.

Use 'Go Over' In Your Speech Right Away with This Podcast Episode

Three Russian tongue twisters specifically designed to make your pronunciation clearer! 
Try repeating after me. First time I’m reading slowly, second time closer to real speech speed.

собирАла маргарИта маргарИтки на горЕ, растерЯла маргарИта маргарИтки во дворЕ. (р,г)

из кУзова в кУзов шла перегрУзка арбУзов. в грозУ в грязИ от грУза арбУзов развалИлся кУзов. (з,в)

в шалашЕ шуршИт шелкАми жЁлтый дЕрвиш из алжИра и, жонглИруя ножАми, штУку кУшает инжИра. (ш,ж)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!
