⭐ In this A2-level podcast I will talk about objects and inventions, the development of smart objects in our daily lives, and the denunciation of consumerism by artists such as Jean Tinguely and Romuald Hazoumé whose work is based on recycled objects. We will practise the demonstrative pronouns and the compound past, and we will review the vocabulary for daily life objects, activities, and much more!

⭐ In the first part of this podcast I will speak French only, and in the second part I will translate and explain everything I said in English.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

Following a verb, both 一下 ((yí xià, lit. “once”) and(一)点儿 ({yì} diǎnr “a bit”) can soften the tone in a question or an imperative sentence, therefore making it more polite. When used in this way, 一下(yí xià) modifies the verb, while(一)点儿 ({yì} diǎnr) modifies the object.

For example:
nǐ kàn yí xià ， zhè shì shuí de zhào piàn ？ 
你看一下，这是谁的照片？   Take a look. Whose photo is this?

nǐ xiǎnɡ chī diǎnr shén me ？ 
你想吃点儿什么？       What would you like to eat?

nǐ jìn lái yí xià 。 
你进来一下。Come in for a minute.

wǒ men hē yì diǎnr chá bɑ 。 
我们喝一点儿茶吧。  Have a little tea.

qǐnɡ nǐ kāi yí xià mén 。 
请你开一下门。   Please open the door.

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)

In this episode we will talk about “冷”, you will learn different meanings of “冷”.
大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第3期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“冷”的话题。
大家都知道冷是温度低的意思，它的反义词是热。如果今天只有8度（°C），我们可以说今天好冷啊，我要多穿几件衣服。夏天的时候，大家喜欢喝冷饮，例如冰可乐、冰啤酒、冰奶茶。还有夏天必不可少的冰淇淋。大家可能会说，冬天我们也喝冷饮吃冰淇淋啊。
这里要告诉大家一个文化小知识。在中国，大家在吃的方面比较讲究。小时候天气冷的时候，妈妈会告诉我们：“不可以吃冷的，对身体不好。”所以我们长大后也是这样的习惯。不过啊，现在年轻人越来越不在乎这些了， 他们想什么时候吃就什么时候吃。
冷还可以表示一个人的态度。例如，他对我很冷淡，一点儿也不热情。也可以说：她总是冷冰冰的。如果两个人吵架了，互相不说话，我们可以说：他们在冷战。如果你的朋友很激动，你可以告诉他：你冷静点儿。
冷还有其他有意思的用法。例如冷门，冷门专业是指那些很少人会选择学习的专业，它的反义词是热门专业。很多年前，计算机在中国是冷门专业，过去十几年变成了热门专业。
大家听过冷笑话吗？如果你的朋友告诉你一个笑话，你觉得不好笑，那你可以说：好冷啊。冷笑话就是bad joke，lame joke。
你听过什么中文的冷笑话吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
