花花去商店买花，华华给花花拿来画。
花花怪华华把画当花不像话，
华华说花花把“花”说成了“画”，
把“花”说成“画”的花花决心今后学好普通话。

huā huā qù shāng diàn mǎi huā ， huá huá gěi huā huā ná lái huà 。
huā huā guài huá huá bǎ huà dāng huā bù xiàng huà ，
huá huá shuō huā huā bǎ “ huā ” shuō chéng le “ huà ”，
bǎ “ huā ” shuō chéng “ huà ” de huā huā jué xīn jīn hòu xué hǎo pǔ tōng huà 。



绕口令（Tongue Twister）

Hua hua and Hua hua  华华和花花

shǎo xiǎo lí jiā lǎo dà huí ，
少小离家老大回，
xiāng yīn wú gǎi bìn máo shuāi 。
乡音无改鬓毛衰。

儿童相见不相识,
xiào wèn kè cóng hé chù lái 。
笑问客从何处来。

English Version
"이에요, 예요." Song

"이에요, 예요." means "It is" or "This is"~
We use it to explain something~
Names, jobs, or the name of an object~
When you talk to someone, it’s used!

"I am a student." is "나는 학생이에요"~
"My friend is a doctor." is "내 친구는 의사예요"~
If there’s a final sound, use "이에요"~
If there’s no final sound, use "예요"~

"이에요, 예요." – don’t get confused~
If there’s a final sound, it’s "이에요"!
If there’s no final sound, it’s "예요"!

"It's a bag" is "가방이에요" – that's correct~
"It's a rose" is "장미예요" – that's correct~

What’s a final sound.
 Let’s find out together~
"책" has a final sound, so it’s "이에요"!
"바나나" has none, so it’s "예요"!

"이에요, 예요." – don’t get confused~
If there’s a final sound, it’s "이에요"!
If there’s no final sound, it’s "예요"

Now you know "이에요, 예요." so well~
Singing makes learning so easy!

감사합니다.

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
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.

El taco puede variar por región y los ingredientes que se tengan de más fácil acceso; por lo cual algunos han hecho su platillo emblema en su propia región, por ejemplo:

• En el sur: los tacos de cochinita pibil. En el centro tacos al pastor o de carnitas. En el norte tacos de asado.

Es importante mencionar que en México, el día 31 de marzo se celebra el Día del Taco. Lo cual permite que se preparen las tortillas más tradicionales para tacos, que van desde los 10 cm a 14 cm.

Ahora, los tacos que debes de probar, ya seas mexicano o no.

hay una gran diversidad DE TACOS. ESTOS SON los más comunes de encontrar en la calle o mercados de México.

1. Taco al pastor
Es de los más populares de todo México y tiene un origen árabe. Este está hecho con papita y carne de cordero.
En México es de carne de cerdo y se coloca primero en un marinado, con achiote, chiles, naranja y otras especias que elige el taquero; lo cual le dará su toque personal.
Luego se coloca una capa sobre capa de cerdo, en un barra que va de forma vertical y se va cociendo poco a poco. En la parte de arriba de este trompo va la piña y es lo que va acompañar tu taco de pastor; puede ser con piña, cebolla y cilantro; y claro, su salsa.

2. Taco de carnitas
La mejor región para consumirlo es en el estado de Michoacán. Aquí realmente se aprovecha todo el cerdo en estos tacos, de hecho, se cocina con su propia grasa.

Lo tradicional es prepararlo en un cazo de cobre y es una preparación larga con diversos ingredientes: desde jugo de naranja hasta caramelo; con una cocción que va de 3 a 4 horas.

Te puedes comer un taco de costilla, hasta de oreja, acompañado con chile cuaresmeño o chile habanero con pepino, hasta un taco de cuerito (la piel), prácticamente el taco se prepara con todo del cerdo.
