Привет!

В этом выпуске подкаста мы поговорим о языке и культуре. Мы обсудим, почему невозможно изучать иностранный язык без знания культуры носителей этого языка и их культурного кода.

Полезная лексика в этом выпуске:
- обычаи = традиции
- многогранный = разносторонний, многообразный
- составляющие = компоненты
- ценность = значимость, важность
- живопись - изобразительное искусство, картины
- роспись = орнамент, иллюстрация, рисунок

Приятного прослушивания!
