Master the Art of Conversation: Active Listening Best Practices
In today's fast-paced world, truly being heard can feel like a luxury. Active listening, however, goes beyond simply hearing words. It's a powerful communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. Here are some best practices to elevate your active listening game:

Be Present: Put away distractions like phones and silence internal chatter. Focus solely on the speaker, conveying attentiveness through eye contact and open body language.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay attention not just to words, but also to tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. These nonverbal cues can reveal underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.

Embrace Silence: Don't feel pressured to fill every pause. Comfortable silence allows the speaker to gather their thoughts and express themselves fully.

Ask Clarifying Questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness. This also helps identify any misunderstandings early on.

Acknowledge Emotions: Validate the speaker's feelings with empathy. Show you understand their perspective, even if you don't agree.

Minimize Interruptions: Allow the speaker to finish their thoughts before responding. Interrupting hinders their flow and can come across as dismissive.

By incorporating these practices, you become a more engaged and supportive listener. This strengthens relationships in all areas of life, from building trust with clients to fostering deeper connections with loved ones. Remember, active listening is a continuous journey. With practice, you'll become a master of communication, fostering a world where everyone feels heard and understood.

El Jabón de Marsella Ft. Camille (Francia)

Transcripción del audio:

¿Sabías que el Hot Yoga mejora la salud del corazón? Entrenar en una sala a una temperatura elevada es, sin duda, todo un reto físico. El corazón, los pulmones y los músculos trabajan más y, por lo tanto, aumenta la respiración, la frecuencia cardíaca y el metabolismo. Un estudio de abril del año 2019 del Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine demostró que una sesión de Hot Yoga acelera la frecuencia cardíaca a un ritmo similar al de caminar a paso ligero (que equivale a 5,6 km/h).   

Y por último, tenemos otro beneficio de esta disciplina: mejora la salud de tu piel. Así es, sudar más mejora la circulación y hace que haya más sangre rica en oxígeno en las células de la piel. Por eso, estás tan brillante después del yoga. El sudor del ejercicio puede incluso revertir los signos de la edad en las células. Lo bueno de esto es que la piel puede producir más colágeno, hidratarse mejor y estar más tersa.

In this episode we are going to learn 【Transportation 】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
