"WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING YOUR GUITAR, MAKE BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING AN ACTUAL WOMAN," MISTER MANCINI TOLD ME. "GRAB HER BY THE NECK AND MAKE HER HOLLER."

My father loves jazz and has an extensive collection of records and reel-to-reel tapes he used to enjoy after returning home from work. He might have entered the house in a foul mood, but once he had his Dexter Gordon and a vodka martini, the stress melted away and everything was "Beautiful, baby, just beautiful." The instant the needle hit that record, he'd loosen his tie and become something other than the conservative engineer with a pocketful of IBM pencils embossed with the command think.

"Man, oh man, will you get a load of the chops on this guy? I saw him once at the Blue Note, and I mean to tell you that he blew me right out of my chair! A talent like that comes along only once in a lifetime. The guy was an absolute comet, and there I was in the front row. Can you imagine that?"

"Gee," I'd say. "I bet that was really interesting."

Empathy was the wrong tack, as it seemed only to irritate him.

"You don't know the half of it," my father would say. " 'Really interesting' my butt. You haven't got a clue. You could have taken a hatchet and cut the man's lips right off his face, chopped them off at the quick, and he still would have played better than anyone else out there. That's how good he was."

Because it was the music we'd grown up with, I liked to think that my sisters and I had a genuine appreciation for jazz. We preferred it over the music our friends were listening to, yet nothing we did or said could convince him of our devotion. Aside from replaying the tune on your own instrument, how could you prove you were really listening? It was as if he expected us to change color at the end of each selection.

Chinese dates are written and read from the bigger unit to the smaller. 

A year is read digit by digit,followed by the character “年nián”. 

A month or date is read the whole number followed by “月yuè”and “日rì /号hào”respectively. 

A day of the week is expressed by the word “星期xīngqī”plus a specific number. 

For example,“August 8th of 2008, Friday” is read as “èr líng líng bā nián bā yuè bā hào, xīngqī wǔ”.

みなさんにはおふくろの味がありますか？おふくろの味とはお母さんが子供の頃からよく作っていた料理の味のことです。家庭にはそれぞれの味があり、同じ料理でも作り方が違ったり、調味料の量が違ったりすると思います。おふくろは母という意味なのですが、みなさんの中には父の味、祖母の味がある人もいるかもしれません。
日本人は肉じゃが、味噌汁(misoshiru)、卵焼きをおふくろの味として挙げる人が多いそうです。
ちなみに私にはおふくろの味がありません。私の母はよくカレーを作ってくれましたが、毎回味が違ったので、「おふくろの味」にはならないと思います。
私は母が作った料理よりむしろ元彼のお母さんやパートナーのお母さんが作った料理の方が恋しいです。
みなさんにはおふくろの味がありますか？
今度実家に帰ったら、何を食べたいですか？


家庭：かてい　home
調味料：ちょうみりょう　condiment
挙げる：あげる　list
恋しい：こいしい　miss
元彼：もとかれ　ex boyfriend
実家：じっか　family home
肉じゃが：Beef and potato stew

Mi España - La Provincia de Granada

Ciao studenti e studentesse di tutto il mondo e benvenuti nel quinto episodio di “Impara l'italiano con Isa”! 🌍📚😃 In questo podcast, come vi ho anticipato in quello precedente, parleremo di un simbolo segreto. Ho scoperto, dopo aver acquistato la mia auto, che sono ormai quasi vent’anni che su ogni auto di nuova produzione dello stesso marchio della mia, viene inciso e nascosto da qualche parte nell’abitacolo uno squalo. Vuoi scoprire di quale auto sto parlando e la motivazione di questa scelta di design? Ascolta il podcast per scoprirlo! 🦈🚗
If you need the transcription, I could provide to give it to you, so feel free to contact me with a message! :)
