Uliana Ch. who has just discovered herself as a writer, has just published her first children book. In this talk, besides recommending her favourite childhood book, we talk about the creative process. She will also give you tips on how to start writing. Her book came into reality with the help of Story One. As for her book, (How I Tamed the Monsters Under My Bed: A Kid's Guide to Fearless Nights) you can have a look and order it online from here: https://www.thalia.at/suche?sq=Uliana+cheliuskina&allayout=GRID Thank you everyone who was following my podcast's journey from the start till now. It's time to have a break, but stay tuned, and follow me at elzazi's mundo blog and social media to see what's coming up next!

Luiz and I are friends for a decade. This talk, we explore not only his own journey with languages but also Brazil. Where do we come from? Where does our language come from? What puts Brazil (South America at all) on the map of the languages? What languages and cultures are connected? Is it really worth looking at the world as an European-centred world? In the second part, we try to find answers to these questions by comparing Roman languages, like Spanish and Portuguese, what have changed during the time and centuries, how Brazilian Portuguese is related to the indigenous groups language and where the theory of Japanese language's similarity comes into picture. So, again, after numbers, we are discussing linguistics. Enjoy! :))

Luiz and I are friends for a decade. This talk, we explore not only his own journey with languages but also Brazil. Actually, we talked so much that I had to split the talk in two! It was almost close to 2 hours of material. In the first part, we explore the following questions: We are no numerologists, of course. But the world Luiz is talking about is so fascinating! I hope you'll all enjoy it!

Dreams without a plan is just a dream. Louise Cugola and André Spadeto have founded their own business to escape the rat race of capitalism and to start working for themselves. However, in this episode, we talk more about our financial literacy: how to save, what to save, why to save, and, what kind of self-help or financial books shed some light on their understanding (and thus can shed some on yours, too!) regarding money matters. Don't worry fiction lovers, we'll talk a bit of fiction, too!

Martin and I graduated from the same small town high school and our aspirations led us to distinct parts of the world. In this podcast, he talks about drama (lots of drama :D ), literature, and travelling around the world. He shares some of his biggest realizations about countries he lived in and his wisdom of what makes life magical for him. Meanwhile, we were also talking about literature like Ferenc Molnár The Paul Street Boys (A Pál utcai fiúk) or the big Greek tragedies (Oedipus, Iliad). We have been also contemplating on the books, he has been writing: Nothingville and his second book, and on writing, on itself. Give it a listen if you want to get inspired by how to make your childhood dream come true or would like to hear about different coincidences in life.

Ha két irodalomszerető összeül, se vége se hossza a pletykának. No, persze semmi rosszindulat nincs benne! Csak, könyvekről! Egyik könyv olvastatja a másikat, és így, egyik történetből a másik történetbe folyik tovább a beszélgetés. Mint ebben az epizódban, dr. Hodásziné Pingitzer Andreával is, aki, Pápa városában sokak számára csak úgy ismerős: ANDI NÉNI. Így, nagybetűvel, mert sokunkat ő vezetett be az irodalomba. Lássuk hát az ő gyűjteményét! :-) Kepes András: Kék macska voltam Visky András: Kitelepítés Tóth Krisztina: A majom szeme Bangkok Wakes To Rain Darvasi: Az év vége utaskísérője Kemedy Júlia Csenge: Az időtálló Cservenyák Imre: életrajzi regény És ami kimaradt: Krusovszky Dénes: Levelek nélkül Figyelem, a beszélgetés végén akasztjuk a hóhért is! :)

Katalin Ferber is an acclaimed economist and writer, well-known in both Europe and Asia. She had spent more than 15 years in one of Japan's most prestigious university, but today, we are taking a deep submerging in her favorite literature and non-fiction. Katalin Ferber shares her world-view and talks about famous economists, like Chalmers Johnson, but she also mentions her appreciation of Scandinavian thrillers, works from authors such as Jo Nesbø and Bergsveinn Birgisson. She describes her favourite Hungarian writers (Krusovszky, and Sándor Tar), then also her path as a writer. On the behalf of Elzazi's Mundo, I wish you Happy Holidays with the last episode of 2O23! :-) Stay tuned in next year, as well! :-)

Niki and I have been friends for more than a decade. We are bound in our friendship by our passion in travels and analyzing personal relationships to a great extent. Just like this time, when we discuss a psychology book in-depth. She brought a book from the world-famous Canadian pyschologist, dr. Máté Gábor, who, by the way, was born in Hungary. The book's title is: The Myth of Normal -- well-recommended to all of us! This episode might be shorter than normal, but you won't be disappointed if you are listening to it. :-)

After one month, finally today there is a new episode featuring on Elzazi's Mundo with Magdolna Magonyi, who is a language teacher, too! She speaks 5 languages fluently and learning Korean at the moment. She was a university classmate of mine so we hint a bit of nostalgia of our university years and meander about history and culture classes, then quickly emerge ourselves into our travel stories and observations with the help of the National Geographic Great Britain Travel guide book which Magdi brought for today's discussion. Come with us onto this journey which covers the Beautiful Lake District and Edinburgh in Scotland, as well as some remote places in Asia, too! You can find Magdi's page here: https://www.facebook.com/mmlanguageprofessional should you be motivated to learn and write Korean! :-)

"Reading is the only time when you can be alone with your own thoughts." Beccy shares her favourite book this episode which has been made into a series recently. We both meander about time and past readings and origins of our book-worminess during this episode, while we are analyzing "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullmann. Join us and come learn about more fantasy reads! You might get some ideas what to read next ;) !

Welcome to the newest episode of Elzazi's Mundo book podcast! Today my guest is Viia who currently lives in Finland but used to live in South America (Ecuador). She brought a book she recently read by the American author, Jeanine Cummings titled American Dirt. What does this book tell us about culture? What does the author think about immigrants? What do you think about immigrants once you read the book? With Viia, we discuss culture and beyond. Even if you haven't read the book, this episode is worth giving it a listen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording this interview.
