たつきのにほんご

What do you do in winter (Advanced)

Quizás piensas que es algo un poco ... ¿"gore"? ¡Pero no! No te asustes, por favor, no tiene nada que ver con nada así, te lo prometo.

Expresiones en español

No tener ni pies ni cabeza

JANE: Hi, Helen! How’s it going?
HELEN: Fine, thanks — and you?
JANE: Just fine. Where are you off to?
HELEN: To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week 
and need to start studying. Ugh.
JANE: Oh, no. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck! 
HELEN: Thanks. See you later.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Hi” is an informal way of saying “hello.” Notice that the “i” sound in “hi” is extended, to 
show that Jane is very pleased to see Helen.
• “How’s it going?” is an informal way of saying “How are you?”
• “Fine, thanks—and you?” Notice the rising intonation on “and you?” This shows that 
Helen is interested in what Jane has to say.
• “Where are you off to?” is an informal way of saying “Where are you going?” Notice the 
falling intonation since this is an information question, not a “yes/no” question.
• “To the library.” Notice that Helen does not say “I’m going” here because that 
information was already established in the question “Where are you off to?”
• “Oh, no” is a way of saying “I sympathize with you” or “I understand you are not happy.”
• “See you later” is an informal way of saying “goodbye.”

Generally interchangeable.
高兴 is more general and can be used to describe a wide range of happy or positive emotions, while 开心 is more specifically used to describe a feeling of joy or delight. In general, both words can be used interchangeably to describe happiness, but 开心 tends to be used in more informal or   contexts, while 高兴 is more commonly used in formal or polite settings.

How to Ace a Job Interview

"Life and business are like changing seasons.
I would like to share to my listeners
the most valuable lesson that I learned from Jim Rohn.
"Life and business are likechanging seasons. You cannot change
the seasons, but you can change yourself."
Learn to handle the winters. Use the summer when everyone is enjoying life to prepare for life's 
worst situations. Use spring and summer to prepare. Never be complacent.
