SWE 136 Parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant 盲人摸象 

¿Te consideras una persona puntual?

Si tu respuesta es sí. ¡Genial! Ser una persona puntual es algo muy bueno. Pero si tu respuesta es no, no te preocupes, es más normal de lo que parece. Ojo, no estoy diciendo que es bueno ser impuntual, solo digo que es bastante normal.

De hecho, en mi país usamos la expresión “hora ecuatoriana” para hablar de eso. Y en este episodio te quiero contar sobre eso.

Spanish with Andres T.

La hora Ecuatoriana

En este episodio te hablo sobre cual pronombre es mejor usar, ¿Tu o usted?.. Y aunque ya sabemos que Tu esta relacionado con cercanía y Usted con formalidad, creo que para los hablantes nativos es algo cultural. Algunas regiones usan mas uno que otro. 
Cuéntame en los comentarios cual prefieres usar, ¿Tu o usted?

Speaker Maria.E !!!

¿Tu o usted?

Which part are you worried about?

I met a student from China who came to prepare for IELTS speaking, and while reading his goal, I picked certain areas from his answer that he wasn't even aware of. 

This was the goal: (I will hide the name, just to illustrate some of my student's goals), so here were his goals:

"My goal is to break through 5.5 in IELTS speaking. I often don't know what to say when communicating, especially during exams, and the answers are a little incoherent and overly nervous."

These were the issues I identified

a) Not knowing what to say (being stuck).
b) During exam fear (most people have 'exams-fear'.
c) Doubting about the answers (whether its correct).
d) Fear, anxiety when communicating.

What about you, do you have some of these concerns? If you said yes - I know how you feel and that's exactly what I am addressing in all of my IELTS speaking classes because the issues are similar in most cases.

Please listen to the podcast and pick what will resonate with you, and join my 1-on-1 VIP classes for your outrageous success in communication improvement whether for IELTS speaking, job interview preparation or business English.

Dans ce podcast, je vous explique deux expressions bien connues des français :
Tu es un Harpagon !
Tu es un Dom Juan.
Ces expressions sont des antonomases. Une antonomase, c'est une figure de style qui consiste à donner un sens à un nom propre, et ainsi en faire un nom commun.

Vous pouvez regarder ces deux pièces de théâtre de Molière dans les liens suivants :
