I want my teeth我要我的牙齿

Árbol de fuego
Alfredo Espino

Son tan vivos los rubores
de tus flores, raro amigo,
que yo a tus flores les digo:
“Corazones hechos flores”.

Y a pensar a veces llego:
Si este árbol labios se hiciera…
¡ah, cuánto beso naciera
de tantos labios de fuego…!

Amigo: qué lindos trajes
te ha regalado el Señor;
te prefirió con su amor
vistiendo de celajes…

Qué bueno el cielo contigo,
árbol de la tierra mía…
Con el alma te bendigo,
porque me das tu poesía…

Bajo un jardín de celajes,
al verte estuve creyendo
que ya el sol se estaba hundiendo
adentro de tus ramajes.

Poemas Salvadoreños

Arbol de Fuego, Alfredo Espino

Famous Syrian Series

Hi, and welcome back to Everyday English with Teacher Alyse! I’m so happy you’re here. Today, we’re going to talk about a small but powerful change you can make in your daily conversations—replacing the word sorry with thank you.
Many English learners, and even native speakers, use "sorry" too often. While saying sorry is important when you truly make a mistake, overusing it can make you seem less confident and even unnecessary in some situations. Instead, shifting to thank you can make your communication more positive and empowering.
Let’s go through some common situations where you might be tempted to say "sorry" and how to rephrase them in a more confident and appreciative way.
Instead of saying: “I’m sorry I’m late.”
➝ Say: “Thank you for waiting for me.”
→ Why? This shift acknowledges the other person’s patience rather than focusing on your mistake. It creates a more positive tone.
.............................................................................................................................................................................

Why Is It Important to Limit "Sorry"?
Using "sorry" too often can make you seem less confident and even weaken your message. It can also make an issue seem bigger than it actually is. Of course, when you truly make a mistake, a sincere apology is important. But by replacing unnecessary "sorrys" with "thank yous," you turn negative situations into positive interactions.

Everyday English with Teacher Alyse

Replace "Sorry" with "Thank You"

Halo! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Saya harap semua baik ya! 
Saya punya cerita tentang kamera saya. Saya sudah punya kamera itu dari 5 tahun lalu. Fungsi dan hasil fotonya juga bagus. Tapi, tiba-tiba hari Sabtu lalu, waktu saya memakainya, kamera itu tidak bisa berfungsi! Jadi, saya memutuskan pergi ke toko reparasi kamera untuk coba mereparasinya. Saya kaget, biaya reparasi kamera itu sangat mahal! Biayanya hampir sama dengan biaya membeli kamera baru. 

Lalu, saya bertanya apakah bisa tukar tambah kamera saya dengan kamera baru. “Tukar tambah” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “trade in”, dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya “下取り”. Ya, akhirnya saya bisa menukar kamera saya, dan menambah uang untuk mendapat kamera baru. Saya senang!

Apakah kalian pernah melakukan tukar tambah? Tukar tambah HP lama dengan HP baru? Tukar tambah mobil lama dengan mobil baru? Tapi, jangan tukar tambah pacar lama dengan pacar baru loh! Hahaha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi!

Struggle LESS When Getting a Haircut in Chinese!

El lenguaje evoluciona y cambia. Muchas veces los responsables de estos cambios son los jóvenes, ellos crean y usan palabras y conceptos que para las personas de más edad son totalmente desconocidas, hasta que se popularizan, y se aceptan como las palabras o la jerga de moda.

En este episodio te voy a explicar algunos de los términos que los jóvenes de hoy en día usan para que cuando los escuches no te quedes con cara de no tener ni idea de lo que están diciendo.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes el episodio. No te olvides después de escucharlo de dejar una pequeña valoración ni de decirme qué piensas:

-¿has escuchado estos conceptos antes? ¿Los usas?

-¿en tu país los jóvenes también tiene un “idioma” propio?
