I created this channel to compare pronunciation, grammar, sentences, and words about things that foreign students learning Korean are confused about. 

Talk to me Korean

第二个行星上住着一个爱虚荣的人。
The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.
喔唷！一个崇拜我的人来拜访了！
Ah! Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer!
这个爱虚荣的人一见到小王子，老远就叫喊起来。
he exclaimed from afar, when he first saw the little prince coming.
在那些爱虚荣的人眼里，别人都成了他们的崇拜者。
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
“你好！”小王子说道。“你的帽子很奇怪。”
"Good morning," said the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing."
“这是为了向人致意用的。”爱虚荣的人回答道，“当人们向我欢呼的时候，我就用帽子向他们致意。”
"It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replied. "It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me."
可惜，没有一个人经过这里。
Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way.
小王子不解其意。说道：“啊？是吗？”
"Yes?" said the little prince, who did not understand what the conceited man was talking about.
爱虚荣的人向小王子建议道：“你用一只手去拍另一只手。”
"Clap your hands, one against the other," the conceited man now directed him.
小王子就拍起巴掌来。
The little prince clapped his hands.
这位爱虚荣者就谦逊地举起帽子向小王子致意。
The conceited man raised his hat in a modest salute.
小王子心想：“这比访问那位国王有趣。”
"This is more entertaining than the visit to the king," the little prince said to himself.
于是他又拍起巴掌来。
And he began again to clap his hands, one against the other.
爱虚荣者又举起帽子来向他致意。

The conceited man against raised his hat in salute.
小王子这样做了五分钟，之后对这种单调的把戏有点厌倦了，
After five minutes of this exercise the little prince grew tired of the game's monotony.
说道：“要想叫你的帽子掉下来，该怎么做呢？”
"And what should one do to make the hat come down?" he asked.
可这回爱虚荣者听不进他的话，
But the conceited man did not hear him.
因为凡是爱虚荣的人只听得进赞美的话。
Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
他问小王子道：“你真的钦佩我吗？”
"Do you really admire me very much?" he demanded of the little prince.
“钦佩”是什么意思？
What does that mean– 'admire'?
钦佩么，就是承认我是星球上最美的人，服饰最好的人，最富有的人，最聪明的人。
To admire mean that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet.
可您是您的星球上唯一的人呀！
让我高兴吧，请你还是来钦佩我吧！
小王子轻轻地耸了耸肩膀，说道：“我钦佩你，可是，这有什么能使你这样感兴趣的？”
于是小王子就走开了。
小王子在路上自言自语地说了一句：“这些大人，肯定是十分古怪的。”

Decreased Productivity: Employees who are not adequately trained may struggle to complete tasks efficiently, leading to lower productivity and missed deadlines.

Increased Errors and Mistakes: Insufficient training can result in errors and mistakes that can negatively impact quality, customer satisfaction, and the organization's reputation.

Lower Morale and Engagement: Employees who feel underprepared may experience frustration and decreased job satisfaction, leading to higher turnover rates and lower employee engagement.

Slower Onboarding: New hires may take longer to become productive if they lack adequate training, which can increase costs and reduce efficiency.

Addressing the Training Gap

To mitigate the negative consequences of insufficient training, organizations must prioritize ongoing learning and development initiatives. This includes:

Needs Assessments: Regularly conducting comprehensive assessments to identify training gaps and ensure that training programs are targeted and relevant.
Tailored Training Programs: Developing customized training programs that address specific needs and learning styles, leveraging a variety of delivery methods such as online courses, workshops, and in-person training.
Continuous Learning: Encouraging employees to participate in ongoing learning and development opportunities, such as online courses, conferences, and professional certifications.
Mentorship and Coaching: Pairing employees with experienced mentors or coaches to provide guidance, support, and opportunities for skill development.
Performance Reviews: Using performance reviews to identify training needs, provide feedback, and recognize employee achievements.

The Consequences of Insufficient Training - Episode 119

En la antigua Tailandia, una sociedad profundamente jerárquica, los elefantes blancos eran sagrados y pertenecían al rey. Regalar uno a un noble era un gran honor, pero también una forma de control social. Estos animales, al no trabajar, suponían un gran coste, impidiendo a quien los recibía ascender en la jerarquía. Así, el elefante blanco, símbolo de estatus, reforzaba el orden social. Esta metáfora cultural contrasta con la visión occidental del "elefante blanco" como algo inútil y costoso. En este podcast, exploramos el profundo significado jerárquico de esta figura y su relevancia en la cultura tailandesa, incluso hoy. Descubre cómo esta metáfora, con su carga jerárquica, nos ayuda a entender las dinámicas interculturales.

Tales  from the Macondo man

La fábula del elefante blanco de Siam (Practica el sonido de la 'j') 

El nopal es una planta cactácea de origen mexicano que tiene múltiples beneficios para la salud. 

El nopal es una planta que pertenece a la familia de las cactáceas. Su uso se remonta al periodo prehispánico. Y tiene distintos usos desde el gastronómico hasta el medicinal.

El nopal -o nopalli– es una planta mexicana que pertenece a la familia de las cactáceas. También es conocido comúnmente como palera o chumbera aunque su nombre científico es Opuntia ficus-indica. Este último nombramiento hace alusión a un pueblo griego llamado Opus u Opuncia y se le otorgó porque se cree que en este sitio existía una planta similar al nopal.

El nopal, de textura dura, color verde y cuerpo espinoso, se encuentra desde el norte hasta el centro de México. En nuestro país existen más de 100 especies de esta cactácea. Cabe señalar que es consumido y utilizado desde la época prehispánica debido a sus múltiples beneficios medicinales y, por supuesto, a su delicioso sabor.

Por ejemplo, en ese entonces se empleaba como auxiliar en el tratamiento de enfermedades de la piel. También era útil para curar pequeñas quemaduras, contusiones e incluso golpes y otras heridas generadas por las guerras.
