SWE42 Travel Tips part 1: The Fanny Pack

In questo episodio parlo del fatto di avere la patente di guida, quel senso di libertà e indipendenza che può darti; le differenze di guidare la macchina in Colombia e in Italia e quanto può essere diverso avere la patente di guida in un paese dove si parla una lingua diversa dalla tua lingua materna, anche per le differenze culturali. A livello grammaticale: uso del tempo indicativo: presente, passato prossimo. 

Vivendo tra due lingue

Ma quanto è bello andare in giro!

I invite you to check out 3 more Russian tongue twisters! 
Give it a shot and try repeating after me. I'll read each one twice: first slowly, and then closer to normal speed.

мАма мЫла мИлу мЫлом, мИла мЫло не любИла. (м,л) 

Ехал грЕка чЕрез рЕку, вИдит грЕка – в рекЕ рак. сУнул грЕка рУку в рЕку, рак за рУку грЕку – цап! (р,к)

былА у фролА, фролУ на лАвра навралА, пойдУ к лаврУ, на фролА лаврУ наврУ. (ф,л,в)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!

Russian tongue twisters - part 4

In this story, a deer named Macey plans a secret party with her sister. But what happens when two big cats try to stop her? This is Part 3 of 5.  

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Two huge, strong and dirty cats appear out of nowhere: one proud lion and one sneaky cheetah. They creep forward, saliva dripping from the sides of their mouths. 

The lion says, “Little deer, I don’t usually eat noodles, but I might have to today.” 

The cheetah laughs and laughs and laughs. She has never heard anything so funny in her entire life. 

Macey looks confused, but then notices she has noodles stuck on her horns. She feels embarrassed and angry at the same time. 

“If you must know, there were no chopsticks…” says Macey. 

The cheetah says, still laughing, “Did you get it, little dear? We don’t eat noodles; we’re carnivores… but you have noodles on your head and we’re going to eat you.” 

The lion frowns and looks at the cheetah. “Yes, thank you, Cheetah... That was my point…” 

Macey confidently steps forward and prepares to fight. She looks like a kung-fu master. She says, “I’m not scared of you. You will never eat me… or my noodles!” 

Macey then jumps high into the air and does a flying kick! 

Hiiiiiyyyaaaaaa! 

Macey kicks the lion right in his big face. Saliva explodes from his mouth. The lion hits the floor HARD. The cheetah is so scared that she crouches down and starts purring. The cheetah doesn’t want to get hurt. 

The lion is very weak. He gets up and tries to speak, but he’s in so much pain. He says, “ahh…I… my face… you’re so… powerful… Please don’t hurt me anymore…” 

Macey has fire in her eyes. She is tired of big cats trying to eat her. 

“You carnivores think you’re so strong,” says Macey, looking like she will crush them. “But you’re not! Now get out of here!” 

The two cats, not so big anymore, run away. 

With the setting sun behind her, Macey is standing strong, looking like a hero.
