Everyone has their preferred way of drinking coffee. Maybe you like yours black, or maybe you prefer a bit of sugar in it.

But have you ever tried drinking coffee with salt?

Adding a pinch of salt to your cup of coffee is said to make it taste less bitter.

And putting salt in coffee isn't new. In some countries, such as Turkey and Hungary, people have done this for years.

But a cafe in Vietnam is believed to have started the newest trend — salt coffee.

It's a little different from just putting salt in your coffee, though. Salt coffee is said to have come from a small cafe in Hue ("hwEH"), a city in central Vietnam.

The cafe's name, Ca Phe Muoi, is also the name of the drink, since ca phe means "coffee" and muoi means "salt" in Vietnamese.

Salt coffee is made by mixing sweet condensed milk with a base of Vietnamese coffee, and adding salted cream to the top.

The cafe's owners hoped this unique drink would bring in more customers, and it did.

"In Hue, salt coffee became a daily drink like black coffee or white coffee," the cafe's owners told CNN Travel in June.

And it wasn't just in Hue where people fell in love with salt coffee — the cafe's website sells bottles of it to send around the country, and now Starbucks even sells its own version of salt coffee.

Vietnam is one of the world's largest coffee growers, and has a rich coffee culture.

Salt coffee is just one of many unique Vietnamese coffee drinks.

Others include egg coffee (which has a topping of egg yolks and condensed milk), coconut coffee, and yogurt coffee.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの16回目です。大阪は今週からだんだん暖かくなっています。来週の予報は、最高気温が10度を超えています。私の実家は東京ですが、大阪は東京に比べると天気がいいです。晴れている日が多いです。寒いと電気代が高くなるので、早く春になってほしいですね。

Hi, This is the podcast episode 16. It has been getting warmer and warmer in Osaka this week. The forecast for next week is for a high of over 10 degrees Celsius. I’m from Tokyo, and the weather in Osaka is much nicer than in Tokyo. It is sunny most days. I hope spring will come soon because the cold weather will make our electricity bill higher.

もうすぐ春なので、最近は引越しをする人が多いです。日本では、3月から4月は学校や会社が始まるシーズンで、学生や新社会人が一人暮らしを始めるからです。私も授業で、生徒さんとよく引越しの話をします。国によって引越しのシステムやプロセスが違うので面白いですね。

It's almost spring, so many people are moving out these days. In Japan, March-April is the season for schools and companies to start, and it's because students and those who just graduated school and became working adults start living alone. In my classes, I often talk about moving with my students. It's interesting because the system and process of moving differs from country to country.

日本で家を借りるときは、ほとんどの場合、不動産業者と契約をします。まず不動産業者のウェブサイトを見て、希望に合う部屋を探します。広さや、駅からの距離や、築年数が書かれています。「築年数」とは、建物の古さのことです。建てられてから１年経ったアパートは、「築１年」といいます。日本では新しいアパートのほうが人気があるので、新しいアパートのほうが値段が高いです。建てられて１年未満で、まだ誰も住んでいない家を「新築」といいます。

When you rent a house in Japan, you almost always sign a contract with a real estate agent. The first thing to do is to look at the real estate agent's website and find a room that fits your needs. You will find the size of the room, the distance from the station, and the age of the building. “Chikunensuu” (the age of the building) refers to how old the building is. An apartment built one year ago is said to be “Chiku 1nen” (1 year old building). In Japan, newer apartments are more popular, so newer apartments are more expensive. A house that has been built for less than a year and no one is living in it yet is called “Shinchiku” (newly built).

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El último libro. 

En una antigua biblioteca, cuyas paredes estaban cubiertas de libros polvorientos y de lomos desgastados, vivía un bibliotecario solitario. Se decía que el lugar albergaba secretos ancestrales y conocimientos prohibidos, y el bibliotecario era el único custodio de esos misterios.

Una noche, mientras ordenaba los libros, el bibliotecario encontró un tomo antiguo, cuyo lomo estaba adornado con símbolos extraños que brillaban tenuemente en la oscuridad. Intrigado, lo abrió y comenzó a leer. Las palabras eran antiguas y misteriosas, y a medida que avanzaba en la lectura, una sensación de frío se apoderó de él.

El libro hablaba de un ser oscuro que habitaba en las sombras y que se alimentaba del conocimiento humano. Si alguien leía el libro completo, liberaría al ser de su prisión y sumiría al mundo en la oscuridad eterna.

Aterrorizado, el bibliotecario intentó cerrar el libro, pero las páginas se resistían. Las palabras parecían cobrar vida y una voz susurrante le ordenó que continuara leyendo. No pudo hacer nada para detenerse.

Cuando llegó a la última página, un viento helado recorrió la biblioteca y las luces se apagaron. El bibliotecario sintió una presencia maligna a su lado y escuchó una risa macabra. Al día siguiente, la biblioteca estaba vacía y el libro había desaparecido. Los únicos rastros que quedaban eran unas extrañas marcas en las paredes y una sensación de frío que nunca desapareció.
