Un sacré cuisinier
Tire-Bouchon, le petit cochon rose est terriblement gourmand mais vraiment pas doué pour la cuisine. Heureusement, ce sont ses parents qui s’en occupent.
Aujourd'hui, cependant, il a décidé de confectionner un gâteau. Il suit la recette avec application et enfourne le gâteau dans la cuisinière.
C’est une réussite totale et Tire-Bouchon est très fier.
Hélas, la cuisine est dans un état lamentable : du chocolat sur les murs, de la pâte sur le buffet, deux bols et un saladier cassés. Tire-Bouchon est tellement sale que sa mère a du mal à le reconnaître.
Fera-t-il encore souvent la cuisine ?

Des Milliers D'histoires

Histoire 13 - Un sacré cuisinier

In questo primo episodio vi leggo una delle mie poesie preferite, intitolata "Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale". L'autore della poesia è Eugenio Montale (1896-1981).
L'argomento trattato in questa poesia è l'amore provato da Montale per sua moglie, scomparsa da poco. L'amore si mischia al dolore e al malinconico ricordo di quella che è stata la loro vita quotidiana.

Leggo la letteratura italiana per te

Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale

Tema: ¿AQUÍ NO HAY NADIE? El poder del refuerzo con la doble negación en español.
Nivel: B1 B2
Categoría: Gramática práctica

En español decimos "aquí no hay nadie", o "no escucho nada", o "no vino nadie", pero... ¿por qué?

Eso es lo que vamos a explicar en este episodio que he llamado EL PODER DE LA DOBLE NEGACIÓN, porque sí podemos negar dos veces.

Te doy los ejemplos y, como siempre, tienes la transcripción. 

Puedes pedir la transcripción para seguir el audio si me envías un mensajito aquí mismo en Italki.

La doble negación es parte de la comunicación diaria, así que… disfrutar de este podcast de hoy.

Si quieres participar en mis clases, te invito a tomar UNA CLASE DE PRUEBA , 30 minutos muy valiosos para saber cómo podemos trabajar juntos.

Nos vemos en clase,  
Gracias por apoyar el podcast de Rocío en Español, para aprender español <3

31 ¿Por qué se dice AQUÍ NO HAY NADIE en español?: La doble negación ¿es un error?

RYAN: I’m so happy this week of midterm exams is finished.
TYLER: Same here. I’m looking forward to relaxing in the mountains 
this weekend. I’ve planned a little hike in the woods. 
And I’m gonna take a canoe trip down the river if the 
weather cooperates.
RYAN: Oh, fun! I’m going to Michigan. I’m taking my camera 
because fall is coming fast. The leaves are already turning 
all shades of red and orange. It will be awesome.
TYLER: Next time you go there, I’ll join you. I’ve heard Michigan is a 
great place to go canoeing


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Midterm Students at universities in the United States often take exams midsemester, 
around October or March of every year. These exams are called midterms. Exams at the 
end of the semester are called finals or final exams and are usually in May.
• Gonna is a colloquial form of “I’m going to.” Other similar constructions include 
“wanna” [want to] or “hafta” [have to]. These are examples of transcriptions of spoken 
English and should not be used in a formal context. Some of these examples are now 
seen in text messages as a means of shortening sentences.
• Awesome: is a colloquial way of saying “excellent,” “cool,” “great.” Last night’s rock 
concert was awesome
