Hello! My name is Puput. I'll be your host for this podcast :) I'll provide both English and Indonesian talks in separate track and topic. I'll share mostly about my experience and life lesson :)

Storyteller's Mind

The verb 离 indicates the distance between two points. 
It often occurs before adjectives like 远（yuǎn） and 近（jìn）. 

ān nà jiā lí shū diàn hěn yuǎn 。 
安娜家离书店很远。Anna's house is far from the bookstore.

ān nà jiā lí ɡōnɡ sī hěn jìn 。 
安娜家离公司很近。Anna's house is very close to the office.

Sometimes it takes the verb-object phrase 有(yǒu)……米(mǐ) to indicate the exact distance.

wǒ jiā lí xué xiào yǒu 400 mǐ 。 
我家离学校有400米。My home is 400 meters away from my school.

wǒ jiā lí chāo shì yǒu 500 mǐ 。 
我家离超市有500米。My home is 500 meters from the supermarket.

chāo shì lí xué xiào yǒu 100 mǐ 。 
超市离学校有100米。The supermarket is 100 meters from the school.

It is set in the "second summer" of 2020, in the famous Argentinian Patagonia, specifically in a town called "Villa La Angostura", a paradisiacal place. 

important locations to guide the listener :
Lago ( Lake ) 
Villa La Angostura ( Place located in the Patagonian Andes ) 
Bahía mansa ( Bahia mansa is a bay of villa la angostura.  )

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【跷二郎腿】的话题。
跷二郎腿，就是坐下来的时候一条腿跷起来放到另外一条腿上面。那么，为什么叫“二郎腿”呢？古代传说里面有一个人物叫做“二郎神”，一些地方的庙里面有二郎神像。二郎神的坐姿就是这样子，所以把这种坐姿叫做“跷二郎腿”。很多人都有跷二郎腿的习惯，这是为什么呢？跷二郎腿好不好呢？我们来听一下吧。
翘二郎腿是很多人都有的习惯。当坐下放松的时候，腿不自觉就翘了起来。这是为什么呢？爱翘二郎腿，不能简单粗暴地用某个科学发现来解释。不过它和身体舒服感、心理状态、习惯等都有一定关系。其实翘二郎腿和葛优瘫一样，是身体本能追求舒服姿势的表现。人是一种喜欢折腾的动物，喜欢不断变换姿势来维持肌肉的张力。翘二郎腿时能放松一条腿的肌肉群，并让腿部和足底肌肉更轻松一点。当人们坐下时，翘二郎腿可以调节中心，感觉做坐起来更稳当。另一方面，跷二郎腿能防女人走光，让男人看上去更有范。夏天穿短裙的女性坐下来后，跷二郎腿的姿势可以有效地防止走光。而颜值高的男性坐下来跷二郎腿，也会显得更有魅力。
但经常跷二郎腿其实会影响到健康，让我们腰酸背痛，并会带来脊柱侧弯的风险。翘二郎腿时，人们难免会将重心偏向一侧，导致盆骨旋转和髋关节紧张。时间一长肌肉力量不平衡，就会带来体态改变等问题。
有谣传说，二郎腿翘多会影响到生殖健康，提早出现退化性关节炎，变成o型腿，导致静脉曲张，高血压。小姐姐在这里郑重地辟谣，这其实并不是翘二郎腿会带来的危害。
那如何翘二郎腿才是正确的，危害小的呢？那就是不要长时间一直翘，翘起来腿麻了都不管不顾，直到天荒地老。腿麻了就换换腿
翘，时间久了就站起来活动活动。毕竟久坐也不利于身体健康。除此之外，只要你自己感受是舒适的，想怎么翘就可以这么翘。

Históricamente, la inmigración estadounidense en mi país fue siempre esporádica, poco cuantiosa y puntual. Pero esto comenzó a cambiar en el año 2001, con el inicio de la incesante y estrepitosa devaluación de la moneda. 

Tal es así, que al día de hoy solamente en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, se encuentran registrados oficialmente más de 26.000 estadounidenses. Muchos de ellos, deciden vivir en suelo foráneo de forma permanente por razones existenciales, mientras que otros llegan por intercambios universitarios o, a trabajar en forma remota desde su país de origen, o bien se trata de mayores de 65 años de clase media que, con su jubilación en dólares, pueden vivir cómodamente en Buenos Aires. 

Por estos y otros motivos, Estados Unidos se ha convertido en el octavo país en la lista de nacionalidades que más solicitudes de radicación han presentado ante la Dirección General de Migraciones desde el año 2004; la segunda no limítrofe después de China. 

Sumado a ello, en el primer semestre del 2023 ingresaron más de 257 mil turistas estadounidenses al país, logrando posicionarse en el cuarto lugar del ranking de turismo extranjero (con el 11,4%) sólo detrás de los chilenos, brasileños y uruguayos. 
Además, luego de la pandemia, el boom de turistas provenientes del país anglosajón creció un 16% respecto al año 2019. Los lugares predilectos de estos visitantes son la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, la Patagonia, y las provincias de Salta, Jujuy y Mendoza.

Es muy habitual que, al caminar por ciertas calles de zonas más turísticas se escuche hablar mucho inglés e, incluso, que existan numerosos espacios de intercambio lingüístico en bares y cafés. 

Muchas gracias a los estadounidenses que deciden visitar mi país, ya sea en forma temporal o permanente.

Espero que te haya gustado este podcast. Si es así, suscribite a mi canal para seguir aprendiendo sobre mi cultura y mi idioma cada vez que subo un nuevo episodio.

The Habits of Women Growing Into Strong, Confident English Communicators

“My English isn’t good enough.”

Narrator: The challenge for modern-day employees is to​evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job well. In the last decade, ​automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay​relevant and competitive, even in the face of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your​Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job-specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into ​self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to ​actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another ​fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.
