David Sedaris’ short story “Jesus Shaves” is a humorous story with an important message. While it makes the subject seem light, the overall message shows how communication and cultural barriers can prevent us from growing together as a society. It also shows how we do not necessarily try to understand each others cultures and often give up in the process.

Have you ever wondered if the festive magic of Christmas could transform your language learning? It did for me! Let me take you back to one chilly December when I felt stuck and uninspired in my language studies.

To my surprise, these small steps reignited my passion and made learning fun again.

This Christmas, why not give yourself the gift of language? Tune in to Episode 60 of "111 Tips for Learning a Language" to discover how the spirit of giving, connection, and patience during the holidays can inspire your learning journey. 🎁

Tip 60 - A Christmas Special: Language Learning Lessons from the Season of Joy

The price of bitcoin hit more than $100,000 for the first time as the value of the cryptocurrency continues to soar following the election of Donald Trump.

This came just hours after the President-elect indicated he'd take a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry during his presidency.

It climbed from $69,374 on the day of Trump's election on November 5 and rose as high as $103,713 on December 4, according to CoinDesk.

Just two years ago, bitcoin dropped below $17,000 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

However, experts aren't sure how long the value of bitcoin will remain high as cryptocurrency is highly volatile.

Some are hopeful of future gains, but others continue to warn of investment risks.

Trump, who was once a crypto skeptic, has said he wants to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet." His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he has also launched World Liberty Financial, a new project with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Many in the crypto industry have welcomed Trump's victory, hoping that he'll be able to push through changes that they've long lobbied for — which, generally speaking, aim for an increased sense of legitimacy without too much red tape.

Trump has already made a move in that direction, saying he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under current chair Gary Gensler, the SEC has cracked down on the crypto industry, penalizing a number of companies for breaking securities laws.

But what is cryptocurrency, really?

In basic terms, cryptocurrency is digital money. It is designed to work through an online network without a central authority — meaning it's typically not backed by any government or banking institution — and transactions get recorded with technology called a blockchain.
