TASK 28 - BY A STROKE OF LUCK OR UNLUCKY FOR SOME 

This episode introduces listeners to Walt Whitman, "America's World Poet." Listen to Whitman's poem, "Beginning My Studies," along with a short description of his life and a discussion of the language he uses.

Beginning my studies, the first step pleas’d me so much, 
The mere fact, consciousness — these forms — the power of motion,
 The least insect or animal — the senses — eyesight — love;
 The first step, I say, aw’d me and pleas’d me so much,
 I have hardly gone, and hardly wish'd to go, any farther,
 But stop and loiter all the time, to sing it in ecstatic songs.

Olá, tudo bem? Seja muito bem-vindo a mais um episódio do podcast Aprenda português. 

Por que será que às vezes quando conversamos com um brasileiro ou escutamos algum diálogo entre brasileiros não entendemos completamente o que ele(s) diz(em)? Às vezes parece que os brasileiros falam tudo pela metade e, realmete, em algumas situações é justamente isso o que acontece. Neste episódio, veremos alguns casos em que, quando falamos, comemos algumas letras ou a palavra quase inteira. Cês tão preparado? Vamos lá!

Pierwszy odcinek podcastu w którym po polsku opowiadam o jesieni.
Wymowa jest w nim nieco wolniejsza i staram się używać podstawowych słów, 
łatwiejszych do zrozumienia. Zapraszam



The first episode of the podcast in which I talk about autumn in Polish.
The pronunciation is a bit slower and I try to use basic words,
easier to understand. I invite you to listen.

Первый выпуск подкаста, в котором я рассказываю об осени на польском языке.
Произношение немного медленнее, и я стараюсь использовать простые слова.
легче понять. Я приглашаю вас послушать.

Język polski z przyjemnością! 

Jesień

Dictionaries do a horrible job of showing to actually say words in a natural American English accent. This is largely because they are not actually reducing words in a way that sounds natural, especially when there are multiple syllables. So, this episode will show you how to pronounce 120 of the most common words in English in a way that sounds like a native speaker.

Hi all! I am uploading the last podcast of this channel in which I summarise the best ways of maximising your language learning experience. I have made this podcast the last one because I realised that I hadn't posted in a long time and I think it's better to have a cohesive conclusion, than a long series of episodes posted months from each other. 

I hope you enjoy this last podcast and especially, that you find it useful :) 

More podcasts will come, but covering different topics!

Thank you all for listening!
