Fluent Fiction - Serbian: A Mural Unites: The Festival That Transformed Milan Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-08-29-22-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: У школи у Београду, где се зидови преплићу са бршљаном, спрема се велики летњи фестивал.En: At a school in Beograd, where the walls intertwine with ivy, a big summer festival is being prepared.Sr: У дворишту школе, где сунце баца дуге сенке преко добро одржаваних травњака, ученици су у пуној припреми.En: In the schoolyard, where the sun casts long shadows over well-maintained lawns, the students are in full preparation.Sr: Милан хода полако, са својом тишином која га увек прати.En: Milan walks slowly, with the silence that always follows him.Sr: Воли уметност, али не зна како да покаже то другима.En: He loves art but doesn't know how to show it to others.Sr: Јована, насмејана и бучна, је свуда.En: Jovana, smiling and loud, is everywhere.Sr: Жели да фестивал буде савршен.En: She wants the festival to be perfect.Sr: Она брине за сваки детаљ и то је све што њени пријатељи обожавају код ње.En: She cares for every detail and that's what her friends love about her.Sr: Видела је код Милана нешто дивно први пут кад га је упознала.En: She saw something wonderful in Milan the first time she met him.Sr: Осетила је да крије уметнички таленат.En: She felt he was hiding an artistic talent.Sr: Скоро се нехотице зауставила када је приметила Милана како гледа бео зид школе.En: Almost inadvertently, she stopped when she noticed Milan looking at the white wall of the school.Sr: Прошла је поред њега и тихо рекла: „Ти имаш идеју, зар не?“En: She passed by him and quietly said, "You have an idea, don't you?"Sr: Милан ју је погледао, помало изненађен, и одмах оборио поглед.En: Milan looked at her, somewhat surprised, and immediately lowered his gaze.Sr: Дуго је размишљао о томе да ли треба да подели своју идеју са комитетом фестивала.En: He had been thinking for a long time about whether he should share his idea with the festival committee.Sr: Јована му прилази поново, овог пута са чоколадом у руци.En: Jovana approaches him again, this time with a chocolate in hand.Sr: „Хајде, реци ми“, насмејано каже.En: "Come on, tell me," she says with a smile.Sr: Милан је мрзовољно попустио.En: Reluctantly, Milan gave in.Sr: „Замишљам мурал... нешто велико, што би пратио тему фестивала.“En: "I imagine a mural... something big that would follow the theme of the festival."Sr: Насмејао се неловко док је ово изговарао, као да је сам себе изненадио.En: He laughed awkwardly as he said this, as if he surprised himself.Sr: Јована га је охрабрила.En: Jovana encouraged him.Sr: „Зашто не би представио ту идеју? Људи би то волели!“En: "Why wouldn't you present that idea? People would love it!"Sr: Милан је осетио јак страх, али истовремено и потребу да буде део нечега важног.En: Milan felt a strong fear but also a need to be part of something important.Sr: После неколико бесаних ноћи и дугих разговора са самим собом, одлучио је да ризикује.En: After a few sleepless nights and long conversations with himself, he decided to take the risk.Sr: Пред комитетом је било тихо док је Милан предавао своју скицу.En: It was silent before the committee as Milan handed over his sketch.Sr: Руке су му се тресле, али Јована му је намигнула са стране, дајући му додатну снагу.En: His hands were shaking, but Jovana winked at him from the side, giving him extra strength.Sr: Њихова лица су се осветлила на исти начин на који сунце осветљава брилијантне боје на мозаицима.En: Their faces lit up in the same way the sun illuminates the brilliant colors on mosaics.Sr: Милан је осетио да му се терет полако скида с рамена.En: Milan felt the weight slowly lifting off his shoulders.Sr: Последњи дан фестивала, мурал је завршен.En: The last day of the festival, the mural was finished.Sr: Сви су га хвалили и фотографисали се пре њега.En: Everyone praised it and took photos in front of it.Sr: Било је то више од слике ─ било је то дело које је спајало људе.En: It was more than a picture ─ it was a work that brought people together.Sr: Милан је стајао поносно са Јованом поред себе.En: Milan stood proudly with Jovana beside him.Sr: Коначно се осетио као део нечега већег.En: He finally felt like a part of something bigger.Sr: Његова самопоуздање је порасло, баш као што је сунце те савршене летње вечери полако залазило иза школског зида.En: His confidence grew, just as the sun of that perfect summer evening slowly set behind the school wall.Sr: Милан је знао да живот неће увек бити лак, али овај тренутак, у коме је коначно припадао, био је довољан да га повуче напред.En: Milan knew that life would not always be easy, but this moment, in which he finally belonged, was enough to carry him forward.Sr: Јована је закључила реченицом која је остала да одзвања међу њима: „Уметност је срце нашег заједништва.“En: Jovana concluded with a sentence that continued to resonate among them: "Art is the heart of our community."

I think we should see a doctor," Mei said gently, her brows slightly furrowed.Zh: 昌，是梅的哥哥，却摇头说：“梅，不用那么紧张。奶奶这只是季节性过敏。夏天是这样，每年都差不多。”En: Chang, Mei's brother, shook his head and said, "Mei, don't be so anxious. Grandma's just experiencing seasonal allergies. That's how summer is; it's almost the same every year."Zh: 听到昌这么说，梅心中闪过一丝怀疑。En: Hearing what Chang said, a trace of doubt flashed through Mei's mind.Zh: 也许真的是她多虑了？En: Could she truly be overthinking it?Zh: 可是，这种感觉是那么揪心。En: Yet the feeling was so troubling.Zh: 她知道，她必须下个决定，这是她做为家人守护者应负的责任。En: She knew she had to make a decision, as it was her responsibility as the family's protector.Zh: 夜晚降临，月光如水，照亮了厨房的地板。En: As night descended, the moonlight, like water, illuminated the kitchen floor.Zh: 梅静静地坐在那里，心中犹豫不决。En: Mei sat there quietly, torn with indecision.Zh: 可当她再次听见李轻轻的咳嗽声，犹如回荡在她内心深处的一声钟响，她坚定地决定要做正确的事情。En: But when she once again heard Li's gentle cough, echoing like a bell ringing deep within her soul, she resolved to do the right thing.Zh: 第二天早晨，梅鼓起勇气，对昌说：“我还是觉得奶奶需要见医生。请相信我。”En: The next morning, Mei mustered the courage and said to Chang, "I still feel that Grandma needs to see a doctor. Please trust me."Zh: 昌疑惑地看着梅，但他没有再争论。En: Chang looked at Mei with doubt, but he didn't argue further.Zh: 毕竟，他知道妹妹的心意，像这柔和夏日的阳光一样坚定和温暖。En: After all, he knew his sister's intentions were as steadfast and warm as the gentle summer sunlight.Zh: 医生的诊断很快就有了结果，En: The doctor's diagnosis was soon in.Zh: 李的咳嗽并不严重，只是小问题，如果不处理可能会变坏。En: Li's cough was not serious, just a minor issue that could worsen if left unaddressed.Zh: 梅松了一口气，她知道，她的坚持是对的。En: Mei sighed with relief, knowing she had been right to persist.Zh: 她感到一种久违的平静。En: She felt a long-lost sense of peace.Zh: 家人们围坐在餐桌旁，窗外树影摇曳，夏日的微风轻轻捎来温馨的气息。En: The family gathered around the dining table, with the shadows of trees swaying outside, as the summer breeze gently brought in a warm, cozy feeling.Zh: 梅抬眼，看见奶奶慈祥的笑容，En: Mei looked up and saw Li's kind smile.Zh: 她心中自豪，自己终于相信了自己的直觉，为奶奶的健康做出了正确的决定。En: She felt proud for trusting her instincts and making the right decision for her grandmother's health.Zh: 故事在这片温暖中结束。En: The story concludes in this warmth.Zh: 梅学会了如何信任自己的判断，无论他人反对与否。En: Mei learned how to trust her own judgment, regardless of opposition.Zh: 这是一个对她而言，更加坚定成熟的开始。En: This marked the beginning of a more determined and mature phase for her.

Story Transcript:Da: Sommeren i København var i fuld gang, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The summer in København was in full swing, and Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Farverige lys blinkede overalt, mens lyden af ​​musik og latter fyldte den varme aftenluft.En: Colorful lights blinked everywhere, while the sound of music and laughter filled the warm evening air.Da: Freja, en ung kunstner med et sind fuld af tvivl, gik langs stierne med sin ven Lars ved sin side.En: Freja, a young artist with a mind full of doubt, walked along the paths with her friend Lars by her side.Da: "Du skal prøve noget nyt, Freja," sagde Lars, idet han kastede et blik rundt på festivalens mange mennesker.En: "You need to try something new, Freja," said Lars, glancing around at the festival's many people.Da: "Måske finder du inspiration her."En: "Maybe you'll find inspiration here."Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hjerte lå tungt.En: Freja nodded, but her heart felt heavy.Da: Hun følte sig fanget i en kreativ hul.En: She felt trapped in a creative rut.Da: Hendes pensler lå ubrugte derhjemme, og hun længtes efter at finde gnisten igen.En: Her brushes lay unused at home, and she longed to find the spark again.Da: Pludselig ebbede lyden fra en guitar henover pladsen og greb hendes opmærksomhed.En: Suddenly, the sound of a guitar wafted across the square and caught her attention.Da: En ung musiker, Mikkel, stod på en lille scene, og hans selvsikre spil lyste op i natten.En: A young musician, Mikkel, stood on a small stage, and his confident playing lit up the night.Da: Han virkede som om, han vidste præcis, hvad han ville.En: He seemed to know exactly what he wanted.Da: "Han ser ud til at have styr på det," mumlede Freja til Lars.En: "He looks like he's got it all together," Freja muttered to Lars.Da: "Jeg ville ønske, jeg havde den selvtillid."En: "I wish I had that confidence."Da: Lars smilede.En: Lars smiled.Da: "Måske kan du få noget af hans energi i aften."En: "Maybe you can get some of his energy tonight."Da: Freja følte sig splittet.En: Freja felt torn.Da: Hun kunne forblive her og observere bag de trygge rammer af anonymitet, eller hun kunne følge Lars' råd og række ud efter noget anderledes.En: She could remain here and observe behind the safe confines of anonymity, or she could follow Lars' advice and reach out for something different.Da: Da Mikkels sang nærmede sig sin afslutning, skete noget uventet.En: As Mikkel's song neared its end, something unexpected happened.Da: Deres øjne mødtes, og i det øjeblik følte Freja en uventet bølge af inspiration.En: Their eyes met, and in that moment, Freja felt an unexpected wave of inspiration.Da: Det var som om, Mikkels musik talte direkte til hendes kunstneriske sjæl.En: It was as if Mikkel's music spoke directly to her artistic soul.Da: Efter koncerten rykkede Freja modvilligt frem mod scenen med Lars ved sin side.En: After the concert, Freja reluctantly moved toward the stage with Lars by her side.Da: "Jeg må tale med ham," sagde hun beslutsomt.En: "I have to talk to him," she said decisively.Da: Mikkel stod ved kanten af scenen, omgivet af en lille gruppe tilhørere.En: Mikkel stood at the edge of the stage, surrounded by a small group of listeners.Da: Da han så Freja, brød han ud i et smil.En: When he saw Freja, he broke into a smile.Da: "Hej!En: "Hi!Da: Nød du musikken?"En: Did you enjoy the music?"Da: Freja nikkede, en smule genert.En: Freja nodded, a bit shy.Da: "Ja, den var fantastisk.En: "Yes, it was fantastic.Da: Jeg er kunstner, men føler mig... tom for ideer."En: I'm an artist, but I feel... empty of ideas."Da: Mikkel så tankefuldt på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her thoughtfully.Da: "Vi står alle der på et tidspunkt.En: "We all stand there at some point.Da: Prøv at lade verden inspirere dig – farverne, lydene, historierne fra menneskerne omkring dig."En: Try to let the world inspire you – the colors, the sounds, the stories from the people around you."Da: Freja lyttede, og hun kunne mærke tvivlen løsne sit greb.En: Freja listened, and she could feel the doubt loosen its grip.Da: Deres samtale fortsatte indtil Tivoli Gardens' lys begyndte at dæmpe.En: Their conversation continued until Tivoli Gardens' lights began to dim.Da: Da Freja gik væk fra scenen den aften, mærkede hun en fornyet drivkraft.En: As Freja walked away from the stage that night, she felt a renewed drive.Da: Som om nattens gnistre og Mikkels opmuntring havde plantet en ny gnist.En: It was as if the night's sparks and Mikkel's encouragement had planted a new spark.Da: Hun var klar til at male igen, og ikke længere bange for at træde udenfor sine vante rammer.En: She was ready to paint again, no longer afraid to step outside her familiar boundaries.Da: Lars klemte hendes skulder.En: Lars squeezed her shoulder.Da: "Jeg sagde jo, at du skulle træde ud."En: "I told you, you should step out."Da: Og Freja lo.En: And Freja laughed.Da: "Jeg er glad for, at jeg gjorde det."En: "I'm glad I did."Da: Med et smil vidste hun, at denne aften ville blive begyndelsen på noget nyt og betydningsfuldt.En: With a smile, she knew that this night would be the beginning of something new and meaningful.Da: Hun havde vinden i ryggen og modet til at lade verden blive hendes lærred.En: She had the wind at her back and the courage to let the world become her canvas.

We dive into the origin of the event, the vision behind it, and how it's creating space for community, collaboration, and culture to thrive in the Lilac City.Whether you're into G-Funk, 90s hip hop, or just want to be part of something authentic and local, Patio Theory is a vibe you don't want to miss. Catch the next one this Saturday at The Chameleon. Doors at 7PM. 21+. $10/$12 cover.

It's the middle of summer and what better way to celebrate than with a bunch of games that give you those sweet summer vibes? We kick things off with the official system of the summer - the Switch 2! We talk about our experiences so far with the new console and Mario Kart World before getting into some other summer vibe games like Yakuza Infinite Wealth and Reel Fishing: Days of Summer. After that we kick things over to a deep dive with our look at the RBI Baseball series. That's right - 2 episodes for the price of one (although last time I checked the price of admission is zero dollars, so I guess the price doesn't really matter here...). And with this double header of an episode we've got a double dose of trivia - it's a jam packed episode! So grab your mitt, your sunscreen, and your headphones and join us for our look at Summer Vibe games and RBI Baseball!

Fluent Fiction - Norwegian: Summer Storms and New Bonds: Einar's Journey to Friendship Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/no/episode/2025-07-06-22-34-01-no Story Transcript:No: Einar satt ved kjøkkenbordet i den koselige hytta, mister seg i den beroligende lyden av sommerbrisen som blafret gjennom de åpne vinduene.En: Einar sat at the kitchen table in the cozy cabin, losing himself in the soothing sound of the summer breeze fluttering through the open windows.No: Hytta lå ved kanten av en tett skog, omfavnet av grønne bakker og en liten bekk som rant forbi.En: The cabin was situated at the edge of a dense forest, embraced by green hills and a small brook flowing by.No: Det var denne roen som Einar alltid hadde søkt.En: It was this tranquility that Einar had always sought.No: Likevel følte han en ensomhet som han ønsket å bryte.En: Yet, he felt a loneliness that he wished to break.No: Han så ut av vinduet mot den lyseblå himmelen, og veide sin plan om å invitere Sigrid og Lars til middag.En: He looked out the window at the bright blue sky, weighing his plan to invite Sigrid and Lars to dinner.No: Med hjertet i halsen bestemte han seg.En: With his heart in his throat, he made up his mind.No: Sommermåltidet skulle være perfekt.En: The summer meal would be perfect.No: Han trengte bare å våge å be dem komme.En: He just needed to dare to ask them to come.No: Neste dag, med handlelisten i hånden, gikk Einar til den lokale butikken.En: The next day, with a shopping list in hand, Einar went to the local store.No: Han plukket ut friske ingredienser: saftige tomater, nyplukkede jordbær, og sprø salat.En: He picked out fresh ingredients: juicy tomatoes, freshly picked strawberries, and crisp lettuce.No: Han valgte også et godt stykke laks fra den lokale fiskeren.En: He also chose a good piece of salmon from the local fisherman.No: Einar ville at måltidet skulle gjenspeile hans takknemlighet for Sigrid og Lars, de vennene han håpet å bli nærmere med.En: Einar wanted the meal to reflect his gratitude for Sigrid and Lars, the friends he hoped to become closer to.No: Med varene trygt plassert i lerretsposen, tok Einar et dypt åndedrag og sendte meldingene til Sigrid og Lars.En: With the groceries safely placed in the canvas bag, Einar took a deep breath and sent the invitations to Sigrid and Lars.No: Til hans lettelse takket de ja til å komme på middag den kvelden.En: To his relief, they accepted the invitation to come for dinner that evening.No: Som kvelden nærmet seg, begynte Einar å forberede måltidet med omhu.En: As the evening approached, Einar began preparing the meal with care.No: Hytta fyltes med lukten av urter og olivenolje.En: The cabin filled with the smell of herbs and olive oil.No: Når klokken nærmet seg seks, hørte han de kjente stemmene utenfor.En: When the clock neared six, he heard the familiar voices outside.No: Sigrid og Lars smilte bredt da de kom inn i hytta og komplimenterte Einar for det vakre stedet.En: Sigrid and Lars smiled broadly as they entered the cabin and complimented Einar on the beautiful place.No: De satt rundt spisebordet, og samtalen begynte langsomt, men snart var de dypt inne i livlige samtaler.En: They sat around the dining table, and the conversation started slowly, but soon they were deeply engaged in lively discussions.No: Plutselig, uventet, hørte de et rumling i det fjerne.En: Suddenly, unexpectedly, they heard a rumble in the distance.No: En sommerstorm var raskt på vei.En: A summer storm was quickly approaching.No: Regnet begynte å tromme mot taket, og vinden vislet rundt hytta.En: The rain began to drum against the roof, and the wind whistled around the cabin.No: Lysene flickret, men holdt stand.En: The lights flickered but held on.No: Stormen tvang dem til å bli inne, og plutselig føltes hytta enda mer intim.En: The storm forced them to stay inside, and suddenly the cabin felt even more intimate.No: Latter fylte rommet mens de delte historier fra barndommen og drømmer for fremtiden.En: Laughter filled the room as they shared stories from childhood and dreams for the future.No: Einar, bedre kjent som den tause tenkeren, fant seg selv bidragende med begeistring.En: Einar, better known as the silent thinker, found himself contributing with enthusiasm.No: Tiden fløy, og stormen ble en bakgrunnsopplevelse til latteren og de vennlige stemmene.En: Time flew, and the storm became a background accompaniment to the laughter and friendly voices.No: Da kvelden nærmet seg slutten, og stormen roet seg, takket Sigrid og Lars for måltidet, men også for noe mer — den enkle gleden av godt selskap.En: As the evening came to a close, and the storm calmed down, Sigrid and Lars thanked him for the meal, but also for something more — the simple joy of good company.No: Einar sto ved døren og vinket farvel, hjertet lettere og mer åpent.En: Einar stood at the door and waved goodbye, his heart lighter and more open.No: Han hadde oppnådd mer enn et vellykket måltid.En: He had achieved more than a successful meal.No: Han hadde knyttet bånd, overvunnet sin egen frykt, og åpnet døren til en ny verden av vennskap.En: He had formed bonds, overcome his own fears, and opened the door to a new world of friendship.No: Fra den kvelden av visste Einar at selv om han elsket stillheten i naturen, kunne latteren av venner være like verdifull.En: From that evening on, Einar knew that although he loved the silence of nature, the laughter of friends could be just as valuable.

The temperature is heating up and we're doing out best to enjoy the summer vibes while still focusing on what matters most, skiing.

This week, hosts Chad Sowash, Joel Cheesman, and Emi Beredugo sling zingers at the tech and policy chaos of today's work of work. First up, they cackle over OpenAI's Sam Altman throwing shade at Meta, claiming Zuck's crew dangled $100 million bonuses to poach his AI wizards. Altman, smirking on his brother's podcast, scoffed, “Meta's not exactly an innovation powerhouse,” betting OpenAI's culture will outshine cash as they chase superintelligence—AI that'll make humans look like dial-up modems. Chad quips, “Zuck's throwing cash like confetti, but Altman's holding the AGI trump card.” Next, the hosts tackle Trump's immigration whiplash. Last week, he hit pause on ICE raids targeting farms and hotels—where 42% of crop workers and 7.6% of hospitality staff are undocumented—after farmers cried foul. But days later, he flipped, doubling down on mass deportations, especially in blue states, risking $315 billion in economic fallout. Tech gets weirder with Amazon's Andy Jassy predicting AI will shrink corporate jobs, leaning on generative AI and Zoox's 10,000 robotaxis to replace drivers. Meanwhile, Zoom's Eric Yuan shrugs off work-life balance, saying leaders live for work and family, but sees AI pushing Gen Z toward three-day workweeks. Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, not to be outdone, launches an AI hotline starring a digital him. Surely, AI Sebastian will be running interviews at Klarna soon, right? Tune in for insight.

This podcast episodes me and the guest discuss post graduation, plans for summer, and favorite things to do in summer.

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/LzP_zb7BsGQIn this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry discuss various common home inspection issues, focusing on the top five problems that often arise in older homes. They delve into the importance of water management, electrical safety, chimney maintenance, gas leak concerns, and sewer problems. The conversation highlights the importance of home buyers being aware of these issues and adjusting their expectations when purchasing older properties.Here's the link to check out Inspector Empire Builder: https://events.iebcoaching.com/eventsYou can find more information on Tessa's website: https://www.yourhousecoach.com/Takeaways:Tessa is feeling better after a month of illness.Summer brings challenges with kids at home.Common home inspection issues can apply to many areas.Water management problems are critical for home safety.Unprotected overhead electric wires pose serious hazards.Masonry chimneys require regular maintenance and inspection.Gas leaks are more common than expected in home inspections.Sewer problems can lead to expensive repairs.Home buyers should reset their expectations regarding property conditions.There is no such thing as a perfect house. Chapters:00:00 Summer Vibes and Health Updates07:20 Home Inspection Stories and Experiences07:50 Top Home Inspection Issues11:26 Water Management Problems17:13 Electrical Safety Concerns21:33 Masonry Chimney Challenges22:36 The Hidden Costs of Chimney Maintenance31:30 Understanding Gas Leaks and Their Risks37:32 Sewer Problems: A Costly Concern40:50 Common Issues in Older Homes

The transmissions have arrived, and the girlies have their predictions: joy as resistance, psychosis over dissociation, and delusional optimism in the face of collapse. They also respond to some of your predictions (pigtails, the death of espresso martinis, lemonade stands) and stress the importance of embracing the childlike joy of summer while we still can.
