#93 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Men kecha qattiq ish qildim va tezda charchab qoldim.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
Yesterday I worked very hardly and got tired very fastly.
✅ Well, it should be:
Yesterday I worked very hard and got tired very fast.
❓Why?
❗️ The correct adverbs are hard and fast, and unlike other adverbs they are the same as in their adjective form.
❗️ The word hardly exists but has a different meaning. It means almost not, e.g. I hardly work. —> Deyarlik ishlamayman.

#59 Travelogue Germany: Cycling in Germany
You thought Germany was a nation of cars but today it is just as much a nation of bicycles. How so?
Bike paths
There’s a whole network of roads that are not for cars but for bikes. You can get special maps for cycling.
Bike compartments
Should I take the train or the bike? You can do both at the same time. Even on the metro!
Signposting
If you don’t have a map just follow the arrows and you’ll be fine. You can also see the distance to your destination in kilometres.
Equipment
Germans are serious cyclists. Most of them wear helmets and bright-coloured clothes for better visibility.
eBikes
Nowadays you may get overtaken by some old geezers. How do they do it? A lot of them have eBikes now that are battery-powered.

#18 Movie Time: Parasite (2019)
▶️ Today’s movie is an Oscar-winning (=winning the most important award for films in Hollywood) film from 🇰🇷Korea that mixes comedy and drama. Through private services like home tutoring (=teaching classes at a student’s home), cleaning and driving, a poor family manages to gain the trust of a rich family. Watch how they run into an unexpected problem.
❗️ The movie is in Korean with English subtitles. Subtitles are an excellent way of pushing you speed up your reading and stop the stupid habit of reading out loud! 😉
