Questo piccolo podcast tratta della mia grande passione, la linguistica e la glottologia, e consiste in una serie di brevi episodi che trattano questi argomenti.
Lo scopo del podcast è gettare luce su un aspetto che i parlanti di qualsiasi lingua considerano molto poco, cioè sui meccanismi e sull'evoluzione delle parole che usano per comunicare.
Proprio per questo motivo la prima puntata riguarda la storia e l'evoluzione dell'articolo "il", una delle parole (monemi) più frequenti in italiano, spiegandone le origini accertate e anche alcune teorie poco conosciute.

Il - un articolo tanto comune quanto poco conosciuto

conditional sentences(1st and 2nd)


Hello, guys! This is Kate. Hope you are doing just fine. And today we’re going back to conditional sentences. This is part two and if you haven’t listened to the first podcast, it’s highly recommended to go back and take a look at them.

Alright, today’s podcast is about the 1st and 2nd conditionals. 
First of all let’s revise the first conditional. As you remember, we use it to talk about the future. Here are some examples for you to refresh your memory:

-If you study hard, you’ll enter the university.
-She will be happy if she earns outrageous sums of money.

I hope you remembered this one guys, because we’re going straight to the second conditional.

Why do we need it? To talk about present events which are almost impossible.

Here are a couple of examples:

If I could go anywhere, I would go to South Korea.
If I had more money, I would travel a lot.
I would drop out of my university if my parents didn’t pay for it.


Let’s take a look at the structure:

If+Past Simple, S+would+V1.
And vice versa
S+would+V1 | If+Past Simple(if the sentence is reversed, we don’t use a comma!)



I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!



Excellent at English with Kate K

【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は8月8日木曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、オリンピックのいろいろな種目（しゅもく）についてお話しします。
皆さん、オリンピックを楽しんでますか？オリンピックはもうすぐ終わってしまいますね。最後まで楽しむために、日本語で種目を覚えましょう。種目とは、種類のことです。

まず、BMX（びーえむえっくす）です。BMXは、自転車に乗ったまま、高く飛んだり、回ったりします。どのくらい素晴らしい技を見せるかで勝ち負けが決まります。

次に、スケートボードです。スケートボードも、BMXのように高く飛んだり、回ったりします。板の上に乗って技を見せるスポーツです。スケートボードは、短く「スケボ」とも言います。気をつけましょう。

次は、バスケットボールです。バスケットボールは、ボールを使って相手のゴールにボールを入れるスポーツです。5人対5人で試合をします。みなさんは、有名な漫画『SLAM DUNK』を知っていますか？今回、オリンピックに出た日本の選手は、小さい時に『SLAM DUNK』を読んで、大きくなりました。バスケットボールは、短く「バスケ」と言うことが多いです。

バレーボールも人気のあるスポーツです。バレーボールは、ボールを相手の場所に落とすスポーツです。6人対6人で試合をします。バレーボールは、短く「バレー」とも言います。

フェンシングもあります。フェンシングは、フランスで生まれたスポーツです。剣を使って相手と戦います。

次に、体操（たいそう）です。体操は、床の上などで行うスポーツです。選手は、いろいろな状況の中で体を動かして、いろいろな技を見せます。前に回ったり、後ろに回ったり、たくさんの動きがあります。

新体操（しんたいそう）についてもお話しします。新体操は、音楽に合わせて長いひもやボールを使って踊るスポーツです。美しい動きが求められます。

競泳（きょうえい）は、水泳の試合です。選手たちは、プールの中で速く泳いで競います。

次は、重量挙げ（じゅうりょうあげ）です。重量挙げは、重い物を持ち上げるスポーツです。選手たちは、自分の力を使って重い物を持ち上げます。

最後に、陸上（りくじょう）です。陸上は、走る、飛ぶ、投げるなどの競技が含まれます。例えば、100メートル走や走り高跳び（はしりたかとび）、砲丸投げ（ほうがんなげ）などがあります。走り高跳びは、選手が高いところにある棒を飛び越える競技です。砲丸投げは、重いボールをできるだけ遠くに投げる競技です。

ここで、皆さんに問題です。スケートボードはどんなスポーツですか？
1.　自転車に乗って技を見せるスポーツ
2.　板に乗って技を見せるスポーツ
3.　プールで泳ぐスポーツ
正解は「2. 板に乗って技を見せるスポーツ」です。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。オリンピックのいろいろな種目について、楽しんでいただけましたか？これからも日本語の勉強を続けて、いろいろな言葉や表現を覚えてくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

オリンピックのいろいろな種目を学ぼう！

Learn German with Stories is something absolutely new in podcasting:

1) we pick you up at your level, with a constant, low ammount of new words per episode, starting from zero
2) we lead you to your goal in small steps, (we split the grammar into 100 pieces and slowly spoonfeed it to you)
3) we have a full-blown, continuous story, played by over 30 professional voice actors, designed to always make you hungry for more!

The story will have 100 episodes in total, and they will stay free forever. It's suitable for ages 12 and up. We cover the most useful and important German, which is 
all the words and grammar of the first level, A1. But also advanced learners benefit from it, because it goes much deeper than the standard A1 level. German Stories 
is one and a half years in the making, and it’s the most ambitious and unconventional German learning podcast yet. We hope you enjoy our show!

日本人なら誰でも知っている「ちびまる子ちゃん」について話しました😆日常の話なので、日本語の勉強にもおすすめですよ💗

SeikaのPodcast🎧

Ep.37 📝「ちびまる子ちゃん」を知っていますか？🎒😆

Humans love stories. From a young age, we hear them, tell them, write them and watch them. As we get older, they're still a big part of our lives.

We tell stories every day, whether it's at work or when we tell a friend about the things we're doing in our lives.

And stories might just be one of the secrets to giving a good business presentation. "Stories connect with people much more than statistics," says Mahnoor Sheikh from Visme, a presentation company.

And with any business presentation, you want to leave an impression on the people you're presenting to.

To do this, according to the team from jobs website Indeed, you first have to understand your audience. Who are they? What do they need to know to get excited about what you have to say?

During your presentation, you want to share your own enthusiasm with the audience and involve them with eye contact, says TED curator Chris Anderson.

To begin, the Indeed team says, you need to prepare a strong start to your presentation, which will let you form a connection with your audience.

Next, you have to keep that connection — and you have to be careful.

If you're using presentation software, keep your slides simple. They're just there to help you communicate, says Sheikh. If they're full of text, people may begin reading the slides and stop listening to you.

And don't read from a teleprompter, says Anderson. If you do, you'll lose your connection with the audience. Either memorize your presentation, or use brief points on cards or slides to guide you.

Finally, Indeed says, give the audience something to think about when they leave the room. You had a strong start — now finish telling your story in the same way!

It's also important to have done your research — because you may have to answer questions from your audience at the end!
