English World(s) of Curiosities

Apa kabar semua? Sehat? 
Wah, 3 bulan lagi kita akan sampai di akhir tahun. Yeay! Libur Natal dan Tahun Baru. Saya mau membeli hadiah Natal untuk ayah dan ibu saya. Kemarin, waktu saya mencari barang-barang menarik di internet, saya juga menemukan banyak barang abal-abal. Kalian tahu “barang abal-abal”? Artinya adalah produk kualitas murah, kualitas buruk, bisa juga palsu. “Palsu” di Bahasa Inggris adalah “fake”, di Bahasa Jepang adalah “偽物”. Ada banyak produk abal-abal di mana-mana. Hanya satu kali pakai langsung rusak, langsung tidak berfungsi dengan baik. Lebih baik membeli barang dengan harga sedikit mahal tapi punya kualitas baik daripada barang abal-abal. Ini menurut saya loh…Bagaimana menurut kalian? Ok, sampai jumpa di podcast berikutnya! Dadah!

ADEL ALBANNA: A PROFISSIONAL ARABIC TEACHER

Yemeni arabic 

Todo el mundo sabe que los actores son personas supersticiosas. Una de esas supersticiones es que no les gusta que las personas les desean suerte, entonces…. ¿Qué cosas deseamos a los actores? Les deseamos mucha mierda, y en el episodio de hoy te cuento el origen de esa expresión, a la vez que te comento algunas otras cosas que los actores de teatro no hacen nunca.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio.

Después de escucharlo, no te olvides de dejarle una valoración y de pasarte por mi Instagram para contarme qué piensas de este episodio, ¿conocías estas supersticiones de los artistas? ¿Conoces alguna otra?

嗨大家好，我是Cara欢迎收听我的频道，今天跟大家讲一个关于中国“年”故事。

中国的新年可以追溯到几千年的历史，那么中国新年是怎么出现的呢？
在中国古代，有一只凶猛的野兽，它有着锋利的牙齿，巨大的爪子和恐怖的吼叫声。它吼叫的时候会发出“年~”的声音，所以人们把它叫做：年兽。在每年春天最黑暗的夜晚，新月new moon挂在天上，年兽就会出现，它会跑到村庄里，吓唬村子里的人，吃掉村子里的动物，所以每年春天人们特别害怕新月的升起。但是时间一久，人们渐渐发现年兽害怕三样东西，那就是红色、火光和巨大的响声；于是后来的人们在每年年兽将要到来的时候就会聚到一起，贴上红色的纸（后来逐渐改为贴红对联），挂上红色的灯笼，放鞭炮等等，目的就是为了赶走年兽。当年兽被赶走以后，人们总是会高兴地说到：“又熬过一个年了。”所以慢慢的就有了过年的说法，也由此出现过年的习俗了。后来人们会在春天的时候，庆祝新月的升起而不是害怕它，这个庆祝活动，变成了现在持续15天的中国农历新年，也叫春节。它代表着幸福和新的开始。
好的，以上就是关于中国年的故事了，我还录制了关于中国元宵节的播客，可以去我的播客频道搜索。你们还想听什么样的中国故事呢？欢迎给我留言或者在我们上课的时候告诉我吧。我们下次节目再见。

FRASES con SER y ESTAR que usamos los nativos

JENNIFER: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the 
weather report? I thought this cold front was 
supposed to pass.
GABRIELA: Yeah, I thought so too. That’s what I read online
this morning.
JENNIFER: I guess the wind chill is really driving down
the temperature.
GABRIELA: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to 
go numb.




LANGUAGE NOTES
• A “cold front” means a large mass of cold air. It can be plural: There were multiple cold 
fronts this January. 
• Here “supposed to” refers to something that is intended or expected to happen: I 
thought it was supposed to rain today. This phrase can be used for many situations: I 
thought the train was supposed to arrive at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
• Yeah / Yup / Uh huh are informal conversational cues used by native speakers in 
conversation. Each of these responses could be used here for “yes.” Gabriela affirms 
what Jennifer is saying. The most polite way to affirm a response is to say “yes.”
• Listen for the emphasis on “That’s what I read online this morning.” This useful 
phrase can be used with other verbs to convey information: That’s what I heard on the 
radio. / That’s what I saw on TV. / That’s what I read online.
• Chill / freezing / cold: These words describe cold weather. I feel the wind chill. / I feel 
the chill. / I am freezing. / I am cold.
• Wind chill is the effect of the wind making the temperature feel colder on a person’s 
skin. This is an uncountable noun. The temperature is 4 degrees, but with the wind chill 
it feels like -8. These phrases are used in weather reports as well.
• The phrase “driving down” means “forcing to be lower” and can be used in many 
situations. An oversupply of new houses is driving down sales prices in the area.
