EP#2 One-day scheduleー私の一日のスケジュール✨

¿Qué significa realmente la buena y la mala suerte? En este episodio de 'Tales from de Macondo Man', nos sumergimos en la fascinante parábola china de 'El hombre que perdió su caballo'. Acompaña al narrador mientras desentrañamos esta historia sobre un hombre cuya vida da giros inesperados, demostrando que lo que a primera vista parece una desgracia puede convertirse en una bendición, y viceversa. Además, exploramos la riqueza de la sabiduría popular española a través de dichos como 'No hay mal que por bien no venga', 'Cuando una puerta se cierra, ciento se abren' y otros, revelando cómo estas expresiones encapsulan la misma verdad universal. Un episodio lleno de reflexiones sobre el destino, la resiliencia y la interconexión de los acontecimientos.

The Macondo man stories

Sabiduría en Palabras

If you already know the difference between "Из" and "От" (there is an episode about this on the channel), then it's time to clarify the difference between "Из" and "С". 

All about Russian language 🌟

Из | С

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.

Don't Get 'Taken for a Ride' With These Lying Expressions

Life’s hardships are inevitable and we’ll all be put through the wringer at some point, often through no fault of our own.
Don’t let these challenges alter your feelings of self-worth. You’ll always be enough; you have something unique and special to give and offer the world.

今日は、昨日のテレビで「食品サンプル」についてやっていたので、それについて思ったことを話したいと思います。

皆さんは、食品サンプルというのをご存知ですか？
食品サンプルというのは、よく飲食店の入り口のところに飾られている、料理の見本のことです。それは、本物の食品でできているのではなくて、ずっと飾っておいても腐らない材料でできています。
それを見れば、お店に入らなくても、メニューを見なくても、その店にはどんな料理があるか一目でわかります。
しかも、食べなくてもその美味しさが伝わってくるくらい、よくできています。

実は昨日、3月26日は、食品サンプルの日だそうです。
サンプルのサンが数字の３、プが数字の２、ルが数字の６。
３・２・６・・・ということで、３月26日は食品サンプルの日になったそうです。

そのテレビで、食品サンプルと本物の料理を見分けるクイズがあったのですが、もうリアルすぎて、どっちが本物か区別がつきません。
おにぎりなんか、お米の一粒一粒から、海苔のパリパリ感まで、もはや本物。
私はそのクイズ、ことごとく全て外れました。。。


外国人観光客の方にも、お土産として人気があるようですが、今度日本でお土産を買うとしたら、食品サンプル、いいかもしれません。こっそり食卓に並べて、家族や友達をびっくりさせてみるのも、楽しそうですよ！

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

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。


みなさんお元気でしょうか。
今日もトルコからPodcastを録っています。


今回もみなさんに質問があります。

おおみそかって、知ってますか？

おおみそかは日本では12/31のことです。

一年の最後の日「大晦日」。

旧暦では毎月の最後の日を「晦日（みそか）」と言いました。

一年で最後で1番大事な日である12月31日を「大晦日」と呼ぶようになりました。

みなさんの国では何か特別な呼び方はありますか？


そんな話をオンラインレッスンでしましょう！
お待ちしています！

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！
