Listening

Today, let's listen to a poem, "mizari."



First, write down what you hear.

OK. The script is here.



Was it difficult?



Yeah. The first line and the last line were easy, but the rest of them was hard.



The first lines on each paragraph mean morning, afternoon, evening and night.



The problem lies in the second line.
In the first paragraph, the second line is just a noun phrase. "ins nonko" (sleepy eyes) and "liito e klevia" (aroma of geranium).



In the second paragraph, there is a relative. "le" combines "flayu e miiko" (wing of cat) and "lomos" (take a nap).



I heard "las lisse yuli," but it is not grammatically correct, so I thought it was "las lis e yuli" (little hands of children).
You need grammatical knowledge when you listen to a language.



Yeah, with grammatical knowledge, you can improve your listening comprehension.



In the fourth paragraph, the subject "esp e xelt" (clouds under the moon) is easy to catch, but the relative clause is difficult.
"yun" means "seem to be."



"le yun pob" means "like a muffler."



OK, that's it.



Similar expressions appeared repeatedly because this is a poem.
I'm getting used to "t e k" (A of B) beacuse it appeared many times.



After the dictation, you should practice with the shadowing method.
It improves your speaking skill too.



OK.
