French Stories For All

Je tombe des Nues ! (Expression française / French Idiom)

Hi! You’re listening to the 111 Tips for Learning a Language Podcast. This is episode 2. Relax and be in your comfort zone as I present to you today’s tip. Why do we learn a language? We all have our reasons. What is your main reason? Simply put what motivates you to learn this language? We all know what drives us to learn a language. Rarely though we capitalize on the main reason we are learning the language. For example I am learning French because I want to spend my summer vacations here. This is the main reason which motivates me to learn French. Once I am clear about my main reason for learning French, I will concentrate on tourist vocabulary phrases to practice informal conversation with the locals. I will learn simple sentences so that I can make friends with the French and be understood by them. Aspects of the French language like the technicalities of grammar and writing would not be important for now. Once I narrow down my learning motivation, I become fluent quicker in what I really want to accomplish in the first place. The first milestone of getting one aspect of the language done is the one which always inspires me to learn more. Think about it. What is your main reason for learning a language? Is it for the perfect holiday, work, leisure, cultural or business reasons? Concentrate on one scope and expand on that area first. Now, I will leave you to it. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.

Tip 2 - Narrow down on your motivation and capitalize on it.

Hoy en muchos países es festivo y empiezan las rebajas. En España, excepto algunas comunidades, no celebramos el día 26 de diciembre por lo que he pensado que es un buen momento para hablar del amigo invisible. ¿Sabes que es el amigo invisible? Es una tradición muy popular especialmente en Navidad.

Después de escuchar y descubrir que es el amigo invisible, pásate por mi Instagram o deja un comentario y dime cómo se llama el amigo invisible en tu país.

Sinetron (sinema elektronik) ini diadaptasi dari novel terkenal oleh penulis Marga.T. 
Kalau kalian tertarik, silahkan baca bukunya atau nonton ya! 

Kalian tahu artinya "Badai pasti berlalu?" 
"Badai pasti berlalu" adalah peribahasa yang punya arti, 
masa-masa sulit yang dialami oleh seseorang tidak akan terjadi selamanya, pasti punya akhir. Setelah itu akan ada perubahan atau keadaan yang lebih baik di masa depan. 
Di Bahasa Inggris, artinya "The storm will pass", di Bahasa Jepang saya sering dengar 
嵐が過ぎ去る 。
Kalian percaya peribahasa ini? Saya percaya. 
Jadi siapa pun yang sekarang sedang mengalami masa sulit, percayalah badai pasti berlalu! Semangat ya! 

Selamat hari Senin! Selamat beraktivitas semua! ^^


Akhir minggu

Badai pasti berlalu

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ, episode 3.

“Khabar” and its plural form “khabar-(h)ā” is the news in Persian.
So we say, “che khabar?”, or “che khabar-(h)ā?” to say, “what’s the news?”, “what’s new?”, or “what’s up?”.
 
To this we often say “salāmat-i!”. 
Salāmat-i means health, and in this context we use it to say, “not much!”. 

We can also respond to “che khabar?” and “che khabar-(h)ā?” with, “hich-chi(z), salāmat-i!”, literally, “nothing, just health!”.

And then we can ask, “to che khabar?” (informal), or “shomā che khabar?” (formal/plural), and “to che khabar-hā?” (Inf.), or “Shomā che khabar-hā?” (frm./pl.).

Let’s practice!

Dialogue 1

Salām! Chetor i? Che khabar?
Salām! Khub am, merci! Salāmat-i! To che khabar?
Hich-chi(z), salāmat-i! 

Dialogue 2

Salām! Khub i? 
Salām! Bad nistam, kheili mamnun! To khub i?
Merci, che khabar-hā? 
Hich-chi(z), salāmat-i! To che khabar-hā?
Salāmat-i! 

Persian Script

چه خَبَر؟ / چه خَبَرها؟: what’s new? / what’s up?
سَلامَتی: not much!, lit. health!
هیچی، سَلامَتی: nothing, just health!
تو چه خَبَر(ها)؟ / شُما چه  چه خَبَر(ها)؟: what’s new with you? / what’s up with you?

Latin Script

Che khabar? / Che khabar-hā?: what’s new? / what’s up?
Salāmat-i!: not much!, lit. health!
Hich-chi(z), salāmat-i!: nothing, just health!
To che khabar(-hā)? / Shomā che khabar(-hā)?: what’s new with you? / what’s up with you?
