# 2 My typical day  (+transcription)

与敌人对抗，要会用计策，要诡诈。“能”要使敌人以为“不能”，“用”要让敌人以为“不用”。“近”要让敌人以为“远”，“远”要让敌人以为“近”。敌人贪心，就用利诱惑而消灭他；敌人混乱，就抓紧时机立刻消灭他；敌人实力雄厚，就要时刻戒备他；敌人精锐强大，就要注意避开他的优势；敌人易怒，就挑逗他，使他失去理智；敌人谦卑谨慎，就设法使他骄傲起来；敌休整良好，就设法使他劳顿；敌人内部和睦，就离间其关系；在敌人没有准备的情况下进攻；在敌人意想不到的时候出击。这些，是军事家用兵之奥秘，是不可事先规定或说明的。

El día de los muertos/difuntos

Ein Horrorbuchstabe für jeden Deutschlerner, obwohl dieser Buchstabe ein Lebensretter ist. In der modernen deutschen Sprache wird das „ä" meistens mit einem „e“ ersetzt. Doch es gibt manche Wörter, die eine richtige Betonung erfordern:

Zum Beispiel:
Ehre = engl: Honor
Ähre = engl: ear of wheat

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena lebte in einem älteren Häuschen am Rande eines märchenhaften Tals. Jeden Morgen zählte sie die Vögel, die auf den Ästen der Bäume saßen. Eines Tages bemerkte sie, dass ein Käfig fehlte, den sie draußen stehen gelassen hatte. „Wer mag den Käfig genommen haben?“ fragte sie sich.

Plötzlich hörte sie ein seltsames Geräusch hinterm Fenster. Ein Kätzchen spielte mit einem Bändel, der am Käfig hing. Lena lächelte, nahm das Tierchen sanft auf und brachte es ins Häuschen. Nun teilte sie ihre Mahlzeiten nicht nur mit Vögeln, sondern auch mit dem kleinen, frechen Kätzchen.
