Glottal stops in English

В России встречаются культуры Запада и Востока.

Глубинный народ

Восток дело тонкое

Un porcellino riesce a intrufolarsi dentro un gregge di pecore e inizia a vivere con loro. Un giorno il pastore prende il porcellino e quest'ultimo inizia a dibattersi e a urlare. Le pecore non capiscono il motivo del suo atteggiamento spaventato, ma il porcellino sa che cosa potrebbe succedergli...

🍽️ Diálogo: Probando un plato extraño 🌶️🐙

Carlos: Bueno, aquí estamos… listos para probar algo nuevo.

Ana: Sí, pero… ¿estás seguro de que esto es comestible? Se ve un poco extraño.

Carlos: ¡Claro! Es un plato típico de este país. Se llama takoyaki, son bolitas de pulpo con salsa.

Ana: Hmm… nunca he comido pulpo antes.

Carlos: Pues hoy es el día. ¡Vamos, pruébalo!

Ana: (Da un mordisco) ¡Uy! Está más suave de lo que pensaba.

Carlos: Sí, la textura es algo chiclosa, pero el sabor es bueno.

Ana: Me gusta la salsa… es un poco dulce y salada al mismo tiempo.

Carlos: Y esas hojuelas encima se están moviendo. ¡Parece que tienen vida!

Ana: ¡No digas eso! Son hojuelas de bonito, pero sí, parece que bailan por el calor.

Carlos: ¿Qué te parece el pulpo en sí?

Ana: Sorprendentemente, sabe bien. Es tierno y tiene un ligero sabor a mar.

Carlos: Sí, pero lo mejor es la combinación con la masa crujiente por fuera.

Ana: Definitivamente. Aunque creo que está un poco picante, ¿o soy yo?

Carlos: No, tienes razón. La salsa tiene un toque de jengibre y pimienta.

Ana: Me gusta más de lo que esperaba. No pensé que comería pulpo algún día.

Carlos: ¡Ya ves! Probar cosas nuevas siempre es una buena idea.

Ana: Ahora me pregunto… ¿qué otro plato raro podemos probar?

Carlos: He oído que aquí tienen helado de ajo… ¿te animas?

Ana: ¡Eso sí suena demasiado raro! Pero… ¿por qué no?

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 37: Can you dance? 

“I really love the great outdoors, so going for long walks is something I enjoy doing on a regular basis. The one walk that really stands out was actually a spur of the moment idea that turned into a much longer walk than I expected.  It was sometime last March, and the weather was absolutely perfect for some outdoor adventure. 




There's a beautiful national park only a stone's throw from where I live, that is very secluded and a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is full of tracks and trails that go through the jungle, as well as a small  mountain, which is famous for its wild monkeys and other wildlife.




As it was a spur of the  moment decision I decided to go alone, and set off about 6am, as the route I took was really off the beaten track, and was not going to be a walk in the park. Looking at the distance on google maps, I guessed it would take me about 3 hours to complete, but I hit a few snags along the way. The first track I took was completely overgrown, and slowed me down to a snail's crawl, and it took me almost 2 hours longer than I expected to reach the mountain.By the time I reached the mountain I was already dead tired and I remember I had to spend some time sitting under the shade of the trees to catch my breath, and decided the best thing to do was call it a day, and make my way back. It was also now getting very hot, and i was already covered in sweat, which was going to make the walk back even harder.




Although the walk was totally exhausting, and left me dead on my feet, I did in fact enjoy most of it, especially the beautiful scenery, and the feeling of being at one with nature. However , I think next time I should maybe  plan my route a little better, and be better prepared.




Thank you …”
