¡HOLA  A TODOS!

En el día os traigo algo muy interesante para aprender, como ya os dije, en este canal cada día vamos a aprender ALGO NUEVO Y ALGO SUPER ÚTIL PARA TU APRENDIZAJE.

Como muchos ya sabéis, soy de Panamá, pero hace muuuchos años vivo en España. Algo que sorprendió cuando me mude a España fue la cantidad de expresiones y frases que utilizaban. Estas expresiones me llamaron mucho la atención y me dije, ¡wao! Debo aprenderlas y las aprendí al poco tiempo. Así que, me gustaría compartirlas con todos vosotros. <3 

<<Las expresiones  a continuación solo son "usadas en España" os animo a que escuchéis el Podcast. >>

En la lengua española, sobre todo en el lenguaje oral informal, existen muchas expresiones populares en español que se usan en el día a día. Algunas explicaciones de estas expresiones se pueden adivinar gracias al contexto pero muchas otras son difíciles de descifrar. A continuación escucharemos  algunos de estos dichos y su significado para que podáis usarlos a partir de este momento en vuestras conversaciones de español. 

Gracias por leerme querido/a estudiante. 
¡Te veo muy pronto!

搭飞机用词

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español. Today we’re gonna practice talking about occupations. 

Here’s how it usually goes:
• ¿Qué haces? (What do you do?)
• Yo soy… (I am…)

Note that in Spanish we tend to NOT use articles (a, an) when describing someone’s job title:
Yo soy profesora. (Literally: I am teacher)


The other thing we have to keep in mind whenever we’re describing someone is their gender. These are the most common word endings when it comes to occupations:

• Gender neutral endings:
ISTA: el artista / la artista, etc.
NTE: el estudiante / la estudiante, etc.

• Feminine vs. Masculine endings:
O / A: el secretario / la secretaria, etc.
OR / ORA: el profesor / la profesora, etc.


Okay! Now that the explanation is out of the way, let’s practice a little bit. I’ll say a couple of sentences and you need to figure out if I could be describing a man, a woman, or either one:

Es arquitecta 🏗️
Es programador 💻
Es analista 📉
Es presidente 🏳️
Es veterinaria 🐾
Es electicista 🔌
Es asistente 📋
Es dentista 🦷
Es fotógrafo 📷
Es mecánico 🔧
Es doctora 🩺

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.

How To Destroy Your Chances of Being Hired In A Job Interview With Vague Language?

Today we have two idioms that both mean the same thing. They mean to ignore someone while they're doing something wrong, or maybe just to pretend not to notice. They are to "turn a blind eye" and to "look the other way". I hope you enjoy today's short episode!

I hope that journaling will help me stop wasting time scrolling on social mediate and media in general. Journaling is basically just writing stuff on paper. You could write about anything and it it doesn't even have to make sense. The important thing is to start writing and a little every day and do this consistently. You can do it in your native language and even in English if you're feeling brave. Listen to my podcast for more journaling benefits and ideas on what to journal about.
