Episode 13. 日本人の家に行くとき

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

Episode #16 - Language and culture

In this episode of Your Spanish Journey, I'll talk albout the difference between two confusing verbs- conocer y saber. I'll give you some practical examples to use them properly. 

Your Spanish Journey

CONOCER vs SABER: ¿cuál es la diferencia?

Heute geht es um ein Thema, das wir alle kennen und mit dem wir jeden Tag (oder besser jede Nacht) zu tun haben: um Träume.
Was sagt die Wissenschaft dazu? Warum träumen wir? Träumen auch Tiere? 
Welche unterschiedlichen Arten von Träumen gibt es? 

Deutsch mit Sonia

Träume

Shapes of all sorts and sizes, great and small,	      
That stood along the floor and by the wall;	
  And some loquacious vessels were, and some	
Listened, perhaps, but never talked at all.
