Traditions Colombia Should Borrow 🍗🎇🏈| Práctica B1-B2

Listen to a story about a time I was scared. 
Review narrative tenses. Narrative tenses are past tenses we use to tell stories. There are four tenses we use: 
- past simple (-ed / irregular)
- past continuous (was / were + verb-ing)
- past perfect simple (had + past participle)
- past perfect continuous (had + been + verb-ing)
Listen to the story and notice the past tenses you here. Complete the quiz: Narrative tenses 1 after you finish. Remember, you can listen to the story again and write down the past tense examples you hear. 
Enjoy! 😀

Happy New Year!
While we have not been updating the podcast, the New Year has come!
Have you bought your New Year's calendars?　
This time, Fumi talks about his favorite calendar.
*We recorded this podcast last fall, so the conversation is a bit out of season.

♤ キーワード
・縁起がいい（えんぎがいい：bring good luck）
・六曜（ろくよう：The traditional Japanese calendar system used to indicate the perceived luck or fortune of each day. There are 6 labels and often referenced for scheduling events like weddings or funerals. While their use is rooted in superstition, the Rokuyo system remains widely referenced in Japan for scheduling ceremonies and selecting auspicious dates.）
　1. 先勝 - Senshō / Sakikachi (good for starting things, good in the morning)

　6. 赤口 - Shakkō (lucky only during the hour of the horse (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), awfully unlucky at other times)
・寅の日（とらのひ：The golden pattern of the tiger is a symbol of money, so the day of the tiger is especially associated with money luck.）
・一粒万倍日（いちりゅうまんばいび：The day that you can get hundreds of times harvest from a grain of seed. So it’s believed many benefits are received from very little.）
・怪我の功名（けがのこうみょう：One of the Japanese proverbs that means a mistake or careless action leading to a fortunate result. It is an unexpected success born out of a failure.）

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful time now. As a Christmas gift from Japanese Santa, I made this podcast for you! I recommend you not to just listen to this, but also find differences between Christmas in your country and Japanese one and write about it on italki or talk about it to someone else (ideally in Japanese)! メリークリスマス！

たつきのにほんご

日本のクリスマス (Advanced)

A un lupo era rimasto un osso in gola e poichè stava soffocando chiese aiuto a una gru, promettendole una ricompensa. Il lupo, però, non terrà fede alla sua parola e la gru imparerà che non bisogna fidarsi dei disonesti.
