Estar al loro es una expresión un poco graciosa porque incluimos un animal en ella, pero no tiene nada que ver con el mundo animal. Te lo cuento todo ahora.

Tom: Hi Lily, the holidays are coming soon and I want to buy a present for my girlfriend.

   Lily: Wow, you're so sweet, so... what gift are you going to buy her?

 Tom: Hmm... I'm going to buy her a useful cemetery.

   Lily: What? Graveyard? Um... how... how... can you treat your girlfriend like this?

 Tom: Hmm...I hope her skin gets better and better, is there any problem with buying a good cemetery?

   Lily: Oh... Well, that's called a foundation, not a graveyard. Foundation is cosmetic, cemetery. Well... cemetery... cemetery is where the dead are buried.

Poema da Necessidade

É preciso casar João,
é preciso suportar Antônio,
é preciso odiar Melquíades
é preciso substituir nós todos.

É preciso salvar o país,
é preciso crer em Deus,
é preciso pagar as dívidas,
é preciso comprar um rádio,
é preciso esquecer fulana.

É preciso estudar volapuque,
é preciso estar sempre bêbado,
é preciso ler Baudelaire,
é preciso colher as flores
de que rezam velhos autores.

É preciso viver com os homens
é preciso não assassiná-los,
é preciso ter mãos pálidas
e anunciar O FIM DO MUNDO.

Pets can get stressed too, just like humans. And sometimes, they can even get more stressed than us. How do we know that? How can we help them? And what are some of the signs that our furry friends are feeling anxious or overwhelmed? These are some of the questions that we will explore in this episode.

我的宠物压力很大! My pet is stressed out!

Today we're talking about two words which are very easily confused. I hear so many people using the word "teach" when they mean to use the word "learn" and the other way around too. So hopefully today's podcast will help you understand the difference. I hope you find it useful!
