L’abete di Natale in Italia – Real vs Synthetic A2

Dear listeners,

In today's episode, you will hear about the methods and strategies that I recommend having while learning a foreign language. Learning Lithuanian is not easy, yet many people have managed to master it. If they have done it, you can do it too! All that you need is patience, time and the right mindset.

I hope that my ideas will encourage you to approach language learning with an open mind and to take control of the learning process more into your own hands. A good teacher can be a wonderful guide, yet we learn the most when we can continue learning outside of the classroom.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

EP 19_How Old Are You__ in Chinese_ Asking for Age_Years Old #Day 19 What's Your Age 

Who says Chinese is hard？ 谁说中文很难

Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo Spanish, a Spanish tutor at italki, and today we're going to talk about some interesting words in Spanish that sometimes confuse those who are learning the language.

1. Madrugar: Esta palabra no tiene equivalente directo en inglés. "Madrugar" significa levantarse temprano, especialmente antes de lo habitual. En algunas culturas, madrugar es una costumbre para aprovechar más el día. Por ejemplo, "Hoy tuve que madrugar para llegar a tiempo al trabajo."

2. Pena ajena: Esta expresión se refiere a la vergüenza que sentimos al ver a otra persona en una situación incómoda o embarazosa. No se trata de nuestra vergüenza, sino de sentirla por otro. En inglés sería algo similar a "secondhand embarrassment". Ejemplo: "Me dio mucha pena ajena ver cómo olvidó su discurso."

3. Empalagar: "Empalagar" significa sentir cansancio o hartazgo debido a algo que hemos consumido o experimentado en exceso. Puede aplicarse a comida, como cuando hemos comido tanto dulce que ya no queremos más. "Este postre está delicioso, pero después de dos porciones, me empalagué."

4. Desvelarse: Este verbo es usado cuando alguien no puede dormir o se queda despierto hasta tarde, generalmente por alguna preocupación o actividad. "Me desvelé estudiando para el examen y ahora estoy muy cansado."
 
5. Friolento: Se usa para describir a alguien que es muy sensible al frío. Una persona friolenta siempre tiene frío, incluso en temperaturas moderadas. "Soy muy friolento, necesito una chaqueta incluso en primavera."


And that's all for today. If you have questions or want to learn more, feel free to book a class with me. You can find more information in my profile. See you next time!

A lawyer who had always lost every day suddenly became a legend one day!!

The Korean word "빅마우스" is actually a foreign word.
It has only one pronunciation in Korean, but two possible meanings in English.
One is a "big mouth." It's a word used as a braggart. 
The other is the "big mouse," which symbolizes a great thief.
I think the two main characters as a couple in this drama will remain the most beautiful couple I've watched recently!!! 
They are so beautiful!!
