Episodio 5 La fiesta de mi amigo (PRINCIPIANTES)

Do you know how practical "多喝熱水“ （drink more hot water) in Chinese culture ? Let's check it out:)

“It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone's throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.




I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.




I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight. 




It was obvious that so many ignorant visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.




I was so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on some public social media groups, and try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people's ignorance, as well as making my blood boil, that nobody seemed to care.

Quindi: sarebbe facile o diventerebbe veramente complicato avere una relazione con una persona che parla una lingua diversa dalla nostra?
Potrebbe essere difficile litigare?
Diventerebbe complicato spiegarsi meglio?
Ho colto l’occasione…. Oppure potrei dire che “ho preso spunto” da una lezione con Lisa che, come avrete capito, è tedesca e che ha una relazione con un uomo danese, il quale vive in Italia.
Lei ha detto che loro comunicano in inglese, perché il loro livello linguistico è molto alto.
Ma secondo me non è solo un fatto di comunicazione. Subentrerebbe la cultura, intesa come abitudini mentali: quello che è normale per me, non è normale per qualcun altro.
E poi c’è la questione della personalità, come dicevamo nell’intervista: siamo davvero noi stessi quando parliamo un’altra lingua?
Nei miei anni di insegnamento ho avuto molti studenti che volevano imparare l’italiano proprio perché il loro partner è italiano. 
Che gesto d’amore immenso. Imparare la lingua dell’altro per capirlo meglio!
Un antico proverbio italiano dice “moglie e buoi dei paesi tuoi”. Ma in un mondo così fluido, ha ancora senso un proverbio così?
Perché c’entra anche la questione scientifica che parlare una lingua straniera, o più idiomi, sembrerebbe aiutarci a vedere il mondo con occhi diversi. È una questione scientifica non ancora risolta.
Allora ve lo chiedo direttamente: parlare italiano vi fa vedere il mondo da un’altra prospettiva?
Sarebbe possibile per voi avere una relazione con una persona che parla un’altra lingua?
Anche una relazione di amicizia…. Sareste un vero amico – o una vera amica?
