Bilmem ki hâtıralar,
Ne istersiniz benden,
Gelir gelmez sonbahar?

Bu kanad çırpış neden?
Cama vuracak ne var
Ey eski hâtıralar

Sanmayın güller açar,
Bülbül değildir öten;
Bu rüzgâr başka rüzgâr.

Ne istersiniz benden,
Bilmem ki hâtıralar,
Gelir gelmez sonbahar?

Bedside Italian #15 - Le lingue che ho imparato part 2

Picture this: you’re standing at the coffee machine and a colleague comes over. You don’t know him very well. You both say hello and then you can’t think of much to say. You mumble* something about the weather (if you are British this is a sure thing. We love to talk about the weather) and then… nothing. 

Your mind goes blank* and you stand awkwardly looking at the coffee, wondering why it is taking so long to make…

Or picture this: you’ve joined a meeting online and there are one or two colleagues already there. You’re waiting for others to join and you have to pass the time. But the same thing happens … you can’t think of anything interesting to say and there is awkward silence….

In these situations we need small talk.

Recycled Human Hair Is Cleaning Belgian Water
Imagine if the hair caught in your drain could actually help to clean it.

That's what's happening in Belgium, where human hair is being recycled to help clean the country's water.

Around the country, hairdressers are taking the hair they cut from their customers' heads and putting it into bags. These bags of hair are then collected by a non-profit organization that runs a project called "Hair Recycle."

The hair collected by Hair Recycle is put through a machine and made into 60-centimeter-wide square mats. These mats can then be put into a drain to absorb oil and other pollution before it gets into a river or stream.

According to the Hair Recycle website, 1 kilogram of hair can absorb up to 8 liters of oil.

To take part in the project, hair salons have to pay a small fee. They then receive bags to collect the hair, and a sticker for their window, so they can show their customers that they are helping the environment.

Salons in Luxembourg and the Netherlands are also taking part in the Hair Recycle project.

Belgium's Hair Recycle is not the only hair recycling project, however. In the UK and Ireland, a company called Green Salon Collective is recycling hair and other waste from salons, including metal, paper, plastic and chemicals.

And a similar company called Green Circle Salons is recycling hair and other salon waste in the US and Canada.

So maybe hair in the drain can be a good thing?

Expresiones coloquiales con la palabra ojo Parte 1

Hello everyone. Today, I would like to talk about one important thing you should know when starting to study Japanese: the difference in the particle "が" (ga).

There are actually two types of "が" that even Japanese people may not notice: "がga" and "がnga." Words that start with "が," such as "がっこう" (school), "ガイド" (guide), "がいこく" (foreign country), and "がん" (cancer), are almost 100% "がga."

However, the particle "が" is basically "がnga."

"わたしが ようへです。" (Watashi ga Youhei desu. I`m Yohei)
"ネコがいます。" (Neko ga imasu. There is a cat )
"それが わたしのペンです。" (Sore ga watashi no pen desu. That is my pen )
If you try to read these as "がga," the pronunciation can be a bit difficult. You don't need to memorize this now, but when emphasizing, you can also pronounce the particle as "がga," as in "あのひと じゃありません、わたしが ようへいです。" (Ano hito janai, watashi ga Youhei desu.　Not that person, I`M Yohei)
Alright. So everyone, please do your best with Japanese. See you again!
