A Stone's Throw Podcast

En un entorn molt llunyà, més concretament a la selva, diversos animals convivien feliçment en un entorn salvatge. Però allà també hi vivia un lleó molt golafre, el rei de la selva, que acostumava a menjar-se entre 3 i 4 animals cada dia. Un dia, farts de viure espantats, tots els animals de la selva van organitzar una revolta i van anar a buscar el lleó.
– Accepto que soc una mica golafre, però necessito menjar animals per poder mantenir-me viu i fort. – Va dir el lleó.
Els animals semblaven entendre el que deia, però no podien permetre perdre tants amics cada dia. Finalment, van proposar un pacte que deia que el lleó només es menjaria un animal al dia. El lleó va remugar una mica, però finalment el va acceptar. La promesa no va durar gaires dies i, en un atac de golafreria, el lleó (que ja s’havia menjat un estruç aquell dia) va voler menjar-se un petit conill que passejava camí cap al seu cau. El conill havia vist un pou ple d’aigua uns quants metres enrere i com que era molt presumit s’havia estat mirant al reflex de l’aigua durant una bona estona. Però a part de presumit també era molt valent i va dir al lleó que coneixia un altre lleó que anava dient per la selva que era més poderós. Com podeu comprendre, al rei de la selva no li van agradar gens aquestes paraules, i va demanar al conill que el portés cap on estava aquest lleó.
Van anar caminant i el conill va demanar al lleó que s’aturés davant del pou. Assenyalant el reflex de l’aigua del pou amb el dit, li va dir:
-Mira'l, és aquí.

Price of Famous Japanese Snack Goes Up for First Time in 40 Years

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘은 한국의 인기 넷플릭스 프로그램, [Culinary Class Wars-흑백요리사]라는 프로그램에 등장하는 재미있는 캐릭터와 한국의 급식 문화에 대해서 이야기해 보려고 해요.

먼저 이 프로그램의 캐릭터 중 하나인 급식대가 (Geupsik Daega)를 소개할게요. 
급식대가는 '급식'과 '대가'라는 단어의 합성어로, 영어로는 [Master of School Meals]라는 의미로 번역되죠. 말 그대로 학교 급식을 책임지는 대가, 최고 전문가라는 뜻이에요.

여기서 급식이라는 단어는 그냥 school lunch, 그러니까 학교에서 제공되는 급식을 뜻하는데요. 
재미있게도, 한국에서는 급식을 먹는 초등학생이나 중,고등학생들을 그냥 ‘급식’이라고 부르기도 해요. 

한국에서는 급식 외에도 학생들의 학교 생활이나 직장인 생활을 재미있게 표현하는 단어들이 있어요. 예를 들어서요:

✅초딩은 초등학생을 뜻하지만, 어른이 어린아이처럼 행동할 때 가볍게 “초딩 같다”라고 놀릴 때도 쓰여요. 그래서 조금 미숙하거나 성숙하지 못한 사람을 얕잡아 볼 때 사용되기도 해요.
"아, 진짜 유치해. 너 초딩이냐?" 
이렇게요.

✅[중딩]은 중학생
✅[고딩]은 고등학생을 뜻해요. 그리고 
✅[대딩]은 대학생을, 
✅[직딩]은 직장인을 뜻하죠.
✅[학식]이라는 단어는 college cafeteria food를 의미해요. 대학생들이 먹는 학식을 의미하기도 하고, 학식을 주로 먹는 대학생들을 지칭하는 표현으로도 쓰여요.

어때요, 이런 표현들 재미있지 않나요? 한국의 급식부터 직장인의 직딩까지 다양한 표현들이 한국의 일상 속에서 쓰이고 있어요. 
다음에 한국 드라마나 영화에서 이런 단어들을 들으면 꼭 기억해 보세요!

여러분의 생각도 궁금해요. 다른 재미있는 한국어 표현이나 궁금한 점이 있으면 언제든 댓글 남겨 주세요. 그럼 다음 에피소드에서 또 만나요!

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.
