Portuguese Drops 

Lendas do Brasil - Iara 

In this introductory episode, I’ll explain how this podcast will go beyond dictionary definitions and challenge the idea that two words can actually have exactly the same meaning.

I’m your host Emma, an Italki teacher with four years’ experience in editing and teaching writing skills. I’m bringing my passion for the intricacies of the English language to this podcast, where I’ll explain the subtle, pragmatic differences between a pair of synonyms each week. 

This might mean, for example, that one of the two words is more formal than the other, or creates more of a negative meaning, or has specific connotations that mean it’s only suitable for a certain topic, or level, or audience.

So, when you’re writing your next email, chapter, letter, or essay, you can feel confident that you’re choosing the perfect word for the situation.

So, get your magnifying glass and join me on this investigation into vocabularly!

00: Introduction

저 최근 며칠 두통이 너무 심해져서
어제 병원 갔다 왔어요.
我这两天头疼得特别厉害，
所以昨天去了趟医院。

지금은 괜찮아요?
现在好点吗？

약을 먹어도 여전히 아프네요.
의사 선생님이 다음 주 상태 보고,
뇌CT찍을지 결정한대요.
已经吃了药，可还是疼得很厉害。
医生说要看下周的情况，
然后再决定是否需要拍脑部CT.

마음 편히 푹 쉬어요.
큰 병은 아닐 거예요.
你就安安心心地休息吧。
肯定没什么大病。

        山西省大同市，是中国的一个四线城市，我们介绍“悬空寺“时提到的“浑源县“就属于这里。Datong City, Shanxi Province, is a fourth-tier city in China. The "Hunyuan County" mentioned in the introduction of "Xuankong Temple" belongs here.
        虽然这个城市的经济不像一线和超一线城市那么发达，但是每年都有世界各地的旅游者、络绎不绝地来到这里。Although the economy of this city is not as developed as the first and super first tier cities, but every year there are tourists from all over the world, an endless stream to come here.
        原因很简单：举世闻名的“云冈石窟“就在这个城市。The reason is simple: the world-famous Yungang Grottoes are located in this city.

Episodio 18: Miércoles de cine

One of Coca-Cola's many taglines was: "You can't beat the real thing." The company was trying to say that even though there were a lot of similar drinks, none of them was as good as the "real" Coke.

You might not agree. But when it comes to art, researchers in the Netherlands think it's true — you can't beat the real thing.

A small study has found that real artworks stimulate the brain much more than posters or prints of the same work.

The Mauritshuis ("MAO-rits-haus") Museum in The Hague commissioned the study. The museum's best-known artwork is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Researchers showed this artwork and four others to 20 people. While they were looking at the paintings, their brain activity was measured using a brain scanner.

The participants were also asked to look at posters of those same five artworks. The researchers compared their brain activity when looking at the real artworks and when looking at the posters.

They found that when looking at the real artworks, participants had an emotional response that was 10 times stronger compared to when they were looking at the posters.

Martine Gosselink from the museum said this was an "enormous difference." She said they had thought that looking at the real thing might give people a richer experience, but now "we can really say that it is true."

The researchers said the real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is involved with self-reflection and personal memories.

Some have said that this research demonstrates the importance of museums and galleries for people of all ages.

Study: Real Art Stimulates Brain More than Posters

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
北海道は、今日、少しだけ雪が降りました！
寒かったですが、テンションが上がりました！

全然話が変わりますが、今回のトピックは、
僕のオンラインレッスンの話です。

オンラインレッスンでは、基本的に日常会話をしています。
いろんなトピックについて話します。
これは日本語学習者のみなさんも、僕にとってもとても楽しい時間です。

最近は、このレッスンの時間に、ニュースなどの記事を一緒に読みたい、という方が増えてきました。
ニュースの記事を一緒に読んで、読み方がわからないところ、意味がわからないところをフォローします。
そして、そのニュースのトピックについて話します。

これは、とても良い練習だと思います。
このレッスン方法は、生徒のみなさんから提案してもらったものです。1つのニュースの記事を丁寧に読んで、意味を理解する。これだけでとても良い練習方法になります。
ですので、実は僕もこの方法を英語の学習に取り入れました。

日本語学習者のみなさんと話すと、みなさんのモチベーションに影響され、自分も英語の学習をがんばろう！と思えます。それから、新しい学習方法を見つけることができます。
みなさんの情熱とアイデアにいつも驚きます！

最近改めて思いますが、言語学習は、少しずつでもいいので、続けることが大切だと思います。やめてしまうとどんどん忘れていってしまいますね。でも続けると、少しずつでも前に進んで行くことができます。

息抜きしたい時は、僕の短い Podcastを聞いて、肩の力をぬいて、リフレッシュしてくださいね！


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
