떡 먹자! 엄마가 맛있는 떡 사왔다.
吃年糕吧! 妈买了好吃的年糕。

엄마, 이것 무슨 떡이에요?
妈, 这是什么年糕? 

이 떡은 설탕도 적고, 찹쌀과 현미로 만들어서 일반 떡보다 칼로리가 낮아. 这些是低糖的, 用糯米和糙米做的, 比一般的年糕低很多卡路里。 

우와! 너무 좋아요! 오늘은 꼭 실컷 먹어야지.
哇! 太好了! 今天一定吃个痛快。

Not at home

 Lisa puts her bicycle against a tree and walks to the front door of her student house.  There are two people standing there.  A young man and a young woman.  They look at the nameplates on the door.  "Hello," says Lisa.  The man and woman look at Lisa.  "Good afternoon," says the woman.  Lisa hears that she is from Belgium.  They do speak Dutch there, but it sounds different.  Softer.  friendly.  'Can I help you?'  asks Lisa.  "Please," says the woman.  'We're looking for Dan.  He lives here right?  Lisa nods¹.  'Yes, Daan lives here,' she says.  She opens the door and walks in.  The man and woman follow her.  'Daan lives in room 10,' says Lisa.  She points to the door at the end of the hallway.  "Thank you," says the woman.  The man nods to Lisa.  "Thanks," he says.  Lisa walks to room 6, which is her room.  Her own room in Amsterdam!  She has been studying here for almost a year now and she loves it

LA HERBOLARIA MEXICANA EPISODIO 2.

La herbolaria MEXICANA como patrimonio cultural se ha transmitido de generación en generación, de manera que algunas prácticas subsisten y son ejercidas de manera común y corriente, ya sea en áreas rurales como urbanas. 

En el país existe una extensa variedad de tratamientos fitoterapéuticos que forman parte de la herbolaria mexicana tradicional. Cuenta con aproximadamente 4500 especies registradas de manera oficial, ocupando el segundo lugar a nivel mundial en el número de plantas medicinales registradas. 

Tanto en los países desarrollados como en los que están en vías de desarrollo, el uso y la comercialización de fitofármacos y productos naturales con fines medicinales muestran un crecimiento acelerado en el último tiempo, lo que se evidencia con el aumento significativo en la demanda mundial por estos productos.

Un punto importante en torno al uso de las plantas medicinales es la experiencia de la tradición y su traspaso de generación en generación en las familias mexicanas. La mayoría de los usuarios y usuarias, en su mayoría mujeres, aprendió el uso de las plantas medicinales porque es un negocio familiar y sus padres o abuelos les transmitieron esos conocimientos. 

En general se menciona a un solo sujeto como la persona que enseña, que no sólo distribuye, sino que es capaz de recetar y curar.

Se concibe también la idea de una “herencia intangible“ como tal, en donde se apoya principalmente a través de la práctica.
