Mi nueva casa

Dir ist bestimmt aufgefallen, das Muttersprachler das „en“ stumm sagen. Es klingt weilweise wie verschluckt. Am besten lernst du die Aussprache mit -en wenn du genau an der Stelle, wo du -en sagen solltest, deinen Mund mit der Hand zumachst, oder mit deinen Fingern deine Lippen aneinanderpresst. Ich habe den Text mit dem Schwerpunkt en-Endungen einmal langsam, dann schneller vorgelesen. 

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitlesen:

Eines Morgens beschlossen die beiden Kinder, einen Drachen steigen zu lassen. Sie liefen zum Garten, um die Schnur zu holen. Mit freudigen Gesichtern begannen sie, den Drachen zusammenzubauen. Dann gingen sie auf die Wiese, wo der Wind die Bäume bewegte.

„Wir müssen ihn höher fliegen lassen!“, rief einer von ihnen. Gemeinsam hielten sie die Schnur fest, bis der Drachen tanzend in den Himmel stieg. Die Wolken schienen greifbar, die Vögel flogen davon.

Am Abend, nachdem die Sonne untergegangen war, saßen sie erschöpft am Feuer. „Das war ein unvergesslicher Tag!“, sagten beide, bevor sie zufrieden einschliefen.

Ayer 10 y hoy 11 de julio trascurren las fiestas patronales del pueblo donde vivo. Ahora se llaman “Fiestas Mayores” pero hace pocas décadas se llamaban patronales porque se celebran en honor al patrón de cada población. El patrón no es un jefe o un empresario, ni un narcotraficante no, usamos la acepción religiosa.

In this episode you will listen to phrases of "suggestions". 

“As I live in a pretty small town, I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people from different countries or cultures, but I've had the pleasure of getting to know James, an English teacher from the UK. 

James hails from London, and moved here about 2 years ago to work as an English tutor in one of the local high schools. I guess he’s in his mid-twenties, and being one of the few foreigners here, has become a kind of local celebrity. 

The first time I met James was at an English corner, which was held at one of the local coffee shops in town. I saw it advertised, and decided to go along, as I really needed to brush up on my English speaking skills. I remember, I was the first to arrive, and introduced myself to James, and was immediately taken aback when he started to introduce himself in the local dialect! 

We got chatting, and hit it off from the start, getting along like a house on fire. Not only did it turn out that we were both football fanatics, but also shared the same taste in music. 

We have since become the best of mates, and hang out at least once or twice a week. I really love chatting to him, and getting to learn all about English culture, as well as sharing different aspects of my own culture with him. I have great respect for James, as he has really made an effort to immerse himself into the local culture here. On top of that, getting to know him has been a real eye opener, and helped to dispel any negative cultural stereotypes.”
