Here we learn how to change sentences from the active to the passive voice. We focus on the different tenses and how to apply grammar rules when changing a sentence into the passive voice.

NB: This podcast serves as a complementary material to my lessons. Further explanation, notes and homework are provided during class.

Spesso quando studiamo una lingua straniera, per ovvie ragioni pratiche, facciamo ampio utilizzo della traduzione, servendoci un dizionario bilingue, (gli amanti dell'analogico) o di un dizionario online (gli amanti del virtuale), o come nel mio caso di entrambi. il più delle volte la traduzione dei singoli elementi da una lingua all'altra funziona, grazie al duro lavoro di linguisti e traduttori, ma ci sono alcune volte nelle quali rendere esattamente lo stesso significato da una lingua all'altra non è così facile... Buon ascolto!

社会人(shakaijin) vs Membro della società 

My student wanted to know the meaning of ‘depleted’.

For example, when people talk about their energy levels being ‘depleted’, what do they mean?

Usually after a busy day at work, or for introverts, maybe after a big social gathering, 
and we’ve given all our energy to other people all day, we get home and our energy levels have been ‘drained’, ‘emptied’ or ‘depleted’. 

Another ( more literal ) example is when we’re talking about physical resources:

eg; ’My fridge contents have been depleted (usually by me)…’ 
       ‘The car’s fuel tank is depleted.’
