Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?

[00:00] Welcome. Hoşgeldiniz. To another episode of Turkish haikus.
[00:08] Happy Friday. Hayırlı Cumalar.
[00:12] So, today's haiku goes like this.
"
Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?
"
[00:23] It ends in a question, right? Let's hear it one more time:
"
Üç hafta geçti.
Sesim artık tanıdık.
Alıştınız mı?
"
[00:36] And let's try to translate it to English, before we start dissecting it.
"
It's been three weeks.
My voice is now familiar.
Are you used to it?
"
[00:51] And, let's dissect it.
[00:53] Üç hafta geçti. The first line. "Üç hafta" means "three weeks"; "geçti" means, in this case, "it's been", "it has passed". It's been three weeks. Üç hafta geçti.
[01:09] Now, the second line. Sesim artık tanıdık. The first word, "sesim" means "my voice". "Ses" literally means "sound", it could also be somebody's "voice". "Sesim" is "my voice". "Artık" means like "now", "from now on" like there's been a change. "Tanıdık" is "familiar". It's from the verb "tanımak": "to know someone", "to know something" even. "To recognize". "Seni tanıyorum" means "I know you", "I recognize you". "Tanışmak" is "to meet someone for the first time". It's in the same phrase when we say "tanıştığıma memnun oldum": "nice to meet you".
[02:08] Now the final line: "Alıştınız mı?" is a question. You might recognize the "mı" at the end. And "alıştınız mı?", I am speaking to you in the second person plural. I am a little bit formal or you might just be more than one person. This is from "alışmak", "to get used to something". It's in the past. "Alış-tı-nız" makes it second person plural. "Did you get used to it?" "Alıştınız mı?".
[02:47] You could say, if you are used to it, "Alıştım". "I got used to it". "I am used to it".
[02:54] Well, that's it for the day. I'm just going to read the haiku in Turkish one more time and I'll say goodbye until the next week.

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU)

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU) custodia la colección más importante de plantas mexicanas. Con más de 1 300 000 ejemplares es el herbario más grande del país y América Latina; se encuentra entre uno de los diez herbarios más activos del mundo.

Esta colección es un logro de numerosas generaciones de botánicos y exploradores nacionales y extranjeros. Su historia se remonta a finales del siglo XIX cuando surge el Instituto Médico Nacional en 1888, como la institución oficial encargada de integrar los conocimientos sobre los recursos naturales. Hacia 1915 el herbario se consolidó e impulsó al reunirse las colecciones nacionales de plantas como parte de la Dirección de Estudios Biológicos. En 1929 la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, a través del Instituto de Biología, adquiere la custodia del herbario en donde el trabajo y la visión de sus administradores, científicos de talla mundial, han logrado mantener activa la colección dotándola de la infraestructura necesaria para su crecimiento, preservación y uso por la comunidad científica.

Las colecciones continuamente se incrementan con las colectas del personal académico asociado al herbario, por el programa de intercambio de especimenes con otras instituciones y por donaciones. Además, el herbario tiene su propio programa de crecimiento en áreas prioritarias y distribuye los duplicados a otros herbarios a través del intercambio. El acervo está disponible a través del programa de préstamos, lo que permite que la colección se actualice de acuerdo a los cambios taxonómicos.

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU)

On a Monday morning or after a night out with friends, staying focused in class can feel impossible. You yawn, your eyes feel tired and the desk starts to look increasingly attractive as a temporary bed of sorts. It’s time to reach out for some of your brain’s favourite attention and memory boosters and wake up again.

So before next Monday’s class – whether back home or in an EF school somewhere on the other side of the world – whip up a blueberry shake, drink a cup of coffee, eat some nuts or go nuts and eat a baked potato for lunch. Your brain and your teacher will thank you, trust us.

Our top 5 brain foods:

1. A strong cup of coffee

Every student knows that the local barista that makes that daily morning cup is their best friend. Coffee is really good for waking you up and keeping you focused for a short amount of time, but drink too much and you’ll feel jittery and ill.

2. A fruit shake

Preferably with super healthy blueberries and with natural sugars in the form of glucose, a fruit shake can provide a short-term memory boost in addition to vitamins and minerals that your whole body needs. Overdo it and you’re likely to feel tired soon after.

3. A handful of dark chocolate pieces and nuts

They’re as brain-boosting as anything (dark chocolate even has some caffeine) and they’re anti-ageing too.

4. Fish and baked potatoes for lunch

We know, we know – they’re not the most attractive items on the menu, but your brain loves both. Salmon and other fatty fish have loads of Omega-3 fats that boost memory and slow your brain’s decline as you age, while potatoes provide steady energy that your brain really needs (it takes up 20% of your body’s energy!)

5. Pumpkin seeds
They’re full of zinc, iron and minerals that help transport oxygen to the brain, and nerve cells to communicate and boost your brain power. A great cheap and healthy snack.
