Hey Alexis!

Correct Pronunciation of ED!!🎙️

ドイツ人はとてもアイスが好きです。どの町にもアイスカフェが数軒あります。一年中、外でアイスを食べている人を見かけます。三月はまだ寒いですが、天気がいい日にはカフェのテラス席でたくさんの人がアイスを食べています。
ちなみに私はドイツであまりアイスを食べません。イタリアに行った時にジェラートをたくさん食べるからです。
日本ではコンビニでアイスを買う人が多いと思います。私のお気に入りのアイスはもちの中にバニラアイスが入っている雪見大福（ゆきみだいふく）とハーゲンダッツの抹茶味です。
みなさんはどんなアイスが好きですか？

ちなみに：by the way
ハーゲンダッツ：Häagen-Dazs (American ice cream brand)

#01 ひな人形のつくりかた

今天看《天天向上》读到了席慕容的《一棵开花的树》，我觉得汪涵老师读的很美。分享给大家。

如何让你遇见我
在我最美丽的时刻
为这
我已在佛前求了五百年
求佛让我们结一段尘缘
佛于是把我化作一棵树
长在你必经的路旁
阳光下
慎重地开满了花
朵朵都是我前世的盼望
当你走近
请你细听
那颤抖的叶
是我等待的热情
而当你终于无视地走过
在你身后落了一地的
朋友啊
那不是花瓣
是我凋零的心

Chilling Chinese 

一棵开花的树——席慕容

In this introductory episode, I’ll explain how this podcast will go beyond dictionary definitions and challenge the idea that two words can actually have exactly the same meaning.

I’m your host Emma, an Italki teacher with four years’ experience in editing and teaching writing skills. I’m bringing my passion for the intricacies of the English language to this podcast, where I’ll explain the subtle, pragmatic differences between a pair of synonyms each week. 

This might mean, for example, that one of the two words is more formal than the other, or creates more of a negative meaning, or has specific connotations that mean it’s only suitable for a certain topic, or level, or audience.

So, when you’re writing your next email, chapter, letter, or essay, you can feel confident that you’re choosing the perfect word for the situation.

So, get your magnifying glass and join me on this investigation into vocabularly!

No Such Thing as a Synonym

00: Introduction

집에 전기밥솥이 고장 났어. 가전제품 가게에 가서 하나 사자.
家里的电饭锅坏了, 去家电商场买一个吧。
	
그래. 어떤 브랜드 것으로 사고 싶어?
好的。想买哪个牌子的?	

아직 안 정했어. 먼저 인터넷에서 비교하고 고르는 게 어때?
还没决定, 先在网上比较一下, 然后再选怎么样?	

좋은 생각이야!
好主意!	

*전기밥솥 电饭锅
*가전제품 家电
*브랜드, 상표 牌子 
*고르다, 선택하다 选
