Η Αθήνα έχει τόσα πολλά να δεις και να κάνεις! / It was an incredible experience! Athens has so much to see and do!D: Για πες! Τι έκανες όλη μέρα; / Tell me! What did you do all day?E: Το πρωί ξύπνησα νωρίς και αφού έφαγα ένα τέλειο πρωινό γιαούρτι με φρούτα, πήγα στην Ακρόπολη. Επισκέφτηκα τον Παρθενώνα και θαύμασα τη θέα από ψηλά. Μετά κατέβηκα στο Μουσείο της Ακρόπολης και συναντήθηκα με τη φίλη μου την Ελένη, που μένει στην Αθήνα. / In the morning I woke up early and after having a perfect breakfast—yogurt with fruit—I went to the Acropolis. I visited the Parthenon and admired the view from above. Then I went down to the Acropolis Museum and met up with my friend Eleni, who lives in Athens.D: Τέλεια! Πώς ήταν το μουσείο; Είναι τόσο καλό όσο λένε; / Awesome! How was the museum? Is it as good as they say?E: Μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ! Έχει πάρα πολλά εκθέματα και οργανωμένα με ωραίο τρόπο. / I really liked it! It has so many exhibits and they're very well organized.D: Κι εγώ αυτό έχω ακούσει. Έκανες τίποτα άλλο μετά ή πήγες πίσω στο ξενοδοχείο. / That's what I've heard too. Did you do anything else after that or did you go back to the hotel?Έ: Ναι, μετά πήγαμε βόλτα στην Αρεοπαγίτου και περπατήσαμε μέχρι το Θησείο. Στη συνέχεια περάσαμε από το Μοναστηράκι, είδαμε τα παλιά μαγαζιά και εγώ αγόρασα μερικά αναμνηστικά. / Yeah, afterward we took a walk along Areopagitou Street and walked all the way to Thiseio. Then we passed through Monastiraki, saw the old shops, and I bought some souvenirs.D: Δοκίμασες και ελληνικό φαγητό; / Did you try any Greek food?Ε: Εννοείται! Το μεσημέρι έφαγα σε ένα ταβερνάκι στην Πλάκα. Παρήγγειλα μουσακά και μια χωριάτικη σαλάτα, αλλά δοκίμασα και από το παστίτσιο της φίλης μου. / Of course! At lunch I ate at a little taverna in Plaka. I ordered moussaka and a Greek salad, and I also tasted some of my friend's pastitsio.D: Πολύ ωραία επιλογή! Το απόγευμα τι έκανες; / Great choices! What did you do in the afternoon?E: Πήγαμε στο Σύνταγμα και είδαμε την αλλαγή φρουράς μπροστά στη Βουλή. Μετά πήραμε έναν καφέ στο χέρι και περπατήσαμε στον Εθνικό Κήπο. / We went to Syntagma and watched the changing of the guard in front of Parliament. Then we grabbed a coffee to go and walked through the National Garden.D: Και το βράδυ; / And in the evening?E: Το βράδυ ανεβήκαμε στον Λυκαβηττό και είδαμε το ηλιοβασίλεμα. Η θέα της Αθήνας από ψηλά ήταν μαγική! / In the evening we went up to Lycabettus Hill and watched the sunset. The view of Athens from up there was magical!D: Ακούγεται σαν πολύ γεμάτη αλλά και φανταστική μέρα! / Sounds like a packed but amazing day!E: Ήταν όντως λίγο κουραστική, όμως πέρασα τέλεια! Η Αθήνα είναι υπέροχη πόλη! / It was a bit tiring, but I had a great time!

Here we go again! The theme of this week's translations? The difference between Simple Past and Present Perfect!

From My Lecture Serie at the University of Freiburg (Germany) 2011 You could watch the full presentation via YouTube The Present Perfect tense in German and English share similarities but also have distinct differences in their formation and usage. Here's a detailed explanation: Formation of Present Perfect Tense German: The Present Perfect tense in German, also known as *Perfekt*, is formed using the auxiliary verbs *haben* (to have) or *sein* (to be) and the past participle of the main verb. 1. **Auxiliary Verb:** - *haben* is used with most verbs. - *sein* is used with verbs that indicate movement or a change of state, and with a few others. 2. **Past Participle:** - For regular verbs, the past participle is formed by adding *-ge-* to the verb stem and *-t* or *-et* to the end of the verb. - e.g., *machen* (to do) → *gemacht* - For irregular verbs, the past participle often involves a vowel change and ends in *-en*. - e.g., *sehen* (to see) → *gesehen* **Examples:** - Ich habe das Buch gelesen. (I have read the book.) - Er ist nach Hause gegangen. (He has gone home.) #### English: The Present Perfect tense in English is formed using the auxiliary verb *have* (in the appropriate form) and the past participle of the main verb. 1. **Auxiliary Verb:** - *have* for first and second person singular and all plural forms. - *has* for third person singular. 2. **Past Participle:** - Regular verbs form the past participle by adding *-ed* to the base form. - e.g., *walk* → *walked* - Irregular verbs have unique past participles. - e.g., *see* → *seen* **Examples:** - I have read the book. - He has gone home. ##Comparison of Present Perfect Tense in German and English: 1. **Formation:** - Both languages use an auxiliary verb and a past participle. - German uses either *haben* or *sein* as auxiliaries, while English uses only *have* (or *has*). 2. **Usage:** - In English, the Present Perfect tense is used to express actions that occurred at an unspecified time in the past and are relevant to the present. - e.g., I have eaten breakfast. (At some point before now, but the exact time is not important.) - In German, the Present Perfect is often used in spoken language to refer to past actions, taking the place of the simple past, especially in conversational contexts. - e.g., Ich habe gefrühstückt. (I ate breakfast.) Alignment with Simple Past in English: The Simple Past tense in English is used to describe actions that were completed at a specific point in the past. In contrast, the Present Perfect tense in English does not specify when the action occurred and is often used to indicate relevance to the present moment. **Examples:** - Simple Past: I ate breakfast. (Specifies a completed action in the past.) - Present Perfect: I have eaten breakfast. (Indicates the action was completed at some point before now, without specifying when.) In German, the simple past (*Präteritum*) is typically used in written language and formal contexts, while the Present Perfect (*Perfekt*) is preferred in spoken language for past events. **Examples:** - Simple Past (German): Ich aß Frühstück. (I ate breakfast. - more common in written form) - Present Perfect (German): Ich habe gefrühstückt. (I ate breakfast. - more common in spoken form)

A common and useful construction in English combines the past continuous and the simple past tenses. Here's an example:I was washing the dishes when my grandmother arrived.The first part of the sentence describes an action that is happening in the past and is continuing. We don't know how long the speaker was washing dishes—maybe for ten minutes, maybe for longer—but at some point in time, the dishwashing is interrupted by the arrival of grandmother.Another way to describe this is with specific times: — I started washing the dishes at 9am and I was still washing them at 9:20 when my grandmother arrived.As always, the best way to learn this construction is by practicing it in lots of sentences. So let's begin.1) I was sleeping when someone knocked on the door.2) I was sleeping when my dog began to bark.3) I was sleeping when the storm started.4) I was sleeping when the phone rang.5) I was sleeping when the baby woke up.6) I was reading when the electricity went out.7) I was watching the news when the power failed.8) I was taking a shower when the lights went out.9) I was working on the computer when the power failed.10) I was watching TV when the power failed.11) I was emailing my sister when the power failed.12) I was cooking dinner when the electricity went out.13) I was studying English when my sister came home.14) I was cleaning my apartment when my sister came home.15) I was talking to my boss when my sister came home.16) I was wondering about the future when my sister came home.17) I was thinking about ancient history when my sister came home.18) I was shopping for food when my phone rang.19) I was thinking about work when my phone rang.20) I was feeding the children when my phone rang.Follow on Telegram for more info and my Tandem class and discussion schedule. All Automotive with Matt Clawson Automotive related topics.

Today we are working on three tenses in English grammar with examples: Past simple, past continuous, and past perfect. Why? So that we can understand what happened first and what happened later.We talked about using past simple and past continuous in episode 8 of season 1 and in this episode we are going to compare them with past perfect.(If you haven't listened to it yet or haven't practiced, that's ok; we will do a little review today.  But going back to season one is a great idea to help you remember and speak fluently)Remember to go with this flow:1. Listen to this episode. Listen and try to relax. You will get:- simple explanations,- examples,and,- chances to practice. So:2. Listen again, and try to answer the questions out loud. (I can emphasize out loud enough!)3. Follow me on social media to get reminders for at least one more practice during the week.

This time I bring something kinda different, maybe you've heard before but not you haven't said anything about it, it is a special difference between these regions, to express, narrate some stories in the past, something that may be just happened or something that's truly in the past past

We discuss the classic 1953 novel by the Jewish Tunisian Francophone writer Albert Memmi, who died this year. This sharp and beautiful book is many things: a coming of age story, an account of colonialism, and a World War II novel. Its driven, unhappy narrator breaks with his community and family in search of a new identity but is disappointed again and again. Like Lot's wife in the Bible, he cannot help looking back on the past he rejects. He asks: “is it possible for me to survive my contemplation of myself?” Show Notes: The Pillar of Salt, translated from the French by Edouard Roditi, is available as an e-book. Memmi also wrote The Colonizer and The Colonized, an account of Tunisia's first year of independence, Tunisie, An I and numerous other books.  We compared the book to Driss Chraibi's The Simple Past, another post-colonial novel narrated by a very angry young man, which we dedicated a whole other episode to.  In the LRB, Adam Shatz recently wrote a wonderful essay discussing Memmi's writings, political philosophy, and contradictions. 

للاستماع إلى بودكاست بعد أمس http://aj.audio/click  This episode focuses on Driss Chraibi's The Simple Past (Le Passé Simple), a Moroccan novel about a very angry young man in revolt against his father's tyranny and the hypocrisies of his colonial education. Back in 1954, it was compared to an explosion – and it still packs a punch today.  Show Notes: The Simple Past was newly re-issued from NYRB Classics in Hugh A. Harter's 1990 translation, with a new introduction from Adam Shatz. Shatz's introduction is available online at the NYR Daily. Excerpts from Chraibi's interview with Federico Arbós can be found at Fragmentos de la entrevista con Federico Arbós, El Mundo/La Esfera, 28/3/92. This episode also references Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo Trilogy and the father figure of Si Sayyed; Waguih Ghali's Beer in the Snooker Club; and Tayib Saleh's Season of Migration to the North.
