This podcast challenges the idea that two words really can have the same meaning. In each episode, we’ll compare two synonyms, and dig deep to find differences in connotation, formality, sense & more.

No Such Thing as a Synonym

In questo podcast parlo della economia circolare e la raccolta differenziata, utilizzo un po' di termini su questi due argomenti. Tempi verbali: presente, tempi del passato: passato prossimo e passato remoto.

UK TALKS WITH LIZ

EPISODE 1: ACCENTS & PRONUNCIATION 

前两天，和学生上课时，讨论起来如果城市是一个人，那么你对这个人的印象是什么样的。聊得非常开心，希望大家和我们一起讨论。
The other day, when I had class with my student, we talked about if we consider a city as a person, what would be the image of your city? We had a very interesting conversation. And I sincerely invite you to join our discussion. 

她说广州像一个小商贩，每天起早贪黑忙忙碌碌。但是他的生意总是做不了很大，一直是马马虎虎的样子。
She said Guangzhou is like a small trader. Working from dawn to dusk, hustling and bustling. But his business is always a small business, hard to expand. 
 
而一海之隔的香港却是个非常成功的生意人，西装革履，派头十足。值得广州好好学习。
Otherwise, Hong Kong which is in the Ocean apart is a very successful businessman. Wear fancy suits, and be very flamboyant. It’s a very good example for Guangzhou.

Quelques expressions pour quand il fait très chaud et quelques rappels sur la notion de h aspiré en français.

Paroles de la chanson Canicule de Jeanne Cherhal :

Il a fait beau
Ces derniers jours
Il a fait chaud
Il a fait lourd
Mais c'est bizarre
Depuis hier
C'est le cagnard
C'est le calvaire

Je suis à plat
Sur le carrelage
Et malgré ça
Je suis en nage
Dès que je bouge
Hanche ou mollet
Je vire au rouge
Ou au violet

J'ai branché ton
Ventilateur
Dans le salon
C'est une erreur
L'air qu'il diffuse
Est si plombé
Que si j'abuse
Je vais tomber

Pour m'aérer
Jusqu'à la moelle
Toute la journée
Je reste à poil
Même en maillot
Et même sans
J'ai chaud de dos
J'ai chaud devant

J'aurais bien pris
Une douche glacée
Mais ma plomberie
Est encrassée
L'eau devient tiède
Et fait des bulles
Tu le concèdes
C'est assez nul

La rue se fend
Et le bitume
Fond doucement
D'ailleurs il fume
Comme un chauffe-eau
Comme un chaudron
Faut aimer l'o-
deur du goudron

Enfin parlons
De toi, veux-tu?
T'as des glaçons
Moi j'en ai plus
J'ai les cheveux
Secs à très secs
Qu'est-ce que tu veux ?
Je fais avec

J'aurais aimé
Finir ma lettre
Car tu l'aurais
Reçue peut-être
Mais mon stylo
Est tout mouillé
Je suis en eau
Je vais rouiller

La canicule et les h aspirés avec Jeanne Cherhal

In this episode of Your Spanish Journey, I'll explain the difference between some phrases and expressions that may be quite confusing since we can use them either with the indicative or the subjunctive mood. Are you ready?
