Hello, hello 👋 This is an episode recorded only in Spanish, at an intermediate level. You will hear vocabulary that I find really useful but most people don't use (you will find this vocabulary in the quiz questions).
Hoy hablamos de la relación que tenemos con el cerebro aprendiendo idiomas. 
Vamos a hablar de  las razones más comunes del cerebro para evitar que alcancemos nuestros objetivos:
-Miedo al fracaso 😟
- Zona de confort  😌
-Síndrome del impostor 🤥
-Sesgo de negatividad 😰 
Gracias por estar aquí, nos escuchamos la próxima semana 🎧🫶

Dành thời gian cho công việc đó là giá trị của thành công
Dành thời gian cho suy nghĩ đó là nguồn gốc của lực lượng
Dành thời gian cho vui chơi đó là bí quyết của thanh xuân
Dành thời gian cho đọc sách báo đó là khởi phát của trí tuệ
Dành thời gian tiếp thu tri thức mới đó là con đường đi đến hạnh phúc

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの27回目です。毎日暑いですね。私は先週、夏服をオンラインで注文しました。私は相変わらず家にいることが多いので、外に出た時はなるべく遠くに行くようにしています。今までは近所のコンビニでコーヒーを買っていましたが、歩いて１５分ぐらいの店に行くことにしました。コーヒーは店によって全然味が違いますね。そこのコーヒーは少し高いですが、コンビニより美味しいです。

Hello. This is episode 27 of my podcast. It's hot every day. I ordered my summer clothes online last week. I am still at home most of the time, so when I go out I try to go as far as possible. I used to buy coffee at a local convenience store, but I decided to go to a shop about 15 minutes' walk away. Coffee tastes totally different depending on the shop. The coffee there is a bit more expensive, but it tastes better than at the convenience store.

最近、会話を練習している生徒さんが増えています。文法を覚えても、リスニングとスピーキングに自信がないと、実際に言葉を使うのは難しいですよね。発音は、大人になってから勉強するのは無理だと考えている人が多いですが、実は違います。母音の種類やイントネーション、母国語との違いを勉強で理解して、練習を繰り返せば、大人でもかなり自然な発音になります。発音についてもっと詳しく教えることができるように、今朝、本屋に行きました。

More and more students are practising conversation these days. Even if you learn grammar, it is difficult to actually use the language if you are not confident in your listening and speaking skills. Many people think that pronunciation is impossible to learn as an adult, but it is not. If you understand the different types of vowels, intonation and differences from your native language through study and repeated practice, even adults can pronounce words quite naturally. I went to the bookshop this morning so that I could teach more about pronunciation.

私の家の近くにはジュンク堂という本屋があります。ジュンク堂は、日本で一番大きい本屋チェーンの一つです。どの店舗も広くて、大量の本があります。立ち読みもできるので、東京に住んでいた時からよく利用していました。立ち読みとは、売っている本を買う前に読むことです。本屋に行ったのは昼前でしたが、たくさん人がいました。会社員も在宅勤務をするようになったので、決まった時間に働いていない人が多いです。

27. 本屋に行く

Il cadavere della signora Luani viene scoperto nel suo appartamento: intorno a lei, per proteggerlo, si sono schierati cento gatti neri, tutti di proprietà della defunta. Vicino al corpo viene anche ritrovato un anello unisex con un simbolo celtico. Chi è l'assassino? E a chi appartiene l'anello? Il proprietario dell'anello è anche l'assassino della signora Luani? A questi interrogativi dovrà rispondere il sagace Ispettore Malvisi.
