En este episodio de Mazamorra les hablaré del voseo...¿Están listos para vosear?

Vos, a mí, voseame

这里是one minute Chinese, 中文一分钟，每天都不同！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题是"如果一个东西坏了"？
如果你的衣服破(po4, worn-out)了，或者你的椅子坏(huai4, broken)了，或者是其他修理（xiu1li3, repair）起来比重新(chong2xin1, again)买一个还贵的东西坏了，你会怎么办？我觉得大部分人都把坏的东西丢掉(diu1diao4, discard)了，从现在越来越多的垃圾(la1ji1, rubbish)就可以看出来。
我记得我很小时候，家里的东西很少，只有床，椅子这样简单(jian3dan1, simple)的家具(jia1ju4, furniture)。家用电器就更少了，冰箱洗衣机都没有，也没有很多衣服，所以家里所有坏掉的东西，爸爸妈妈都要想办法把它修好，比如衣服破了，要把它修补(xiu1bu3, patch)起来，虽然穿起来不是很好看。那时候的生活很少浪费(lang4fei4, waste)，环境(huan1jing4, enviroment)很好。我觉得东西坏了，首先是想办法把它修好，而不像现在，丢了，买新的。我更喜欢过去的方式(fang1shi4, way)，喜欢那种珍惜(zhen1xi1,value)东西的感觉，不知道你怎么认为（ren4wei2, thin）呢？

8. ¿Hispano, Latino, Ibero... ?... ¿Cuál es la diferencia?

It's been a while since I posted something. Happy 2023! 

I recently watched The Glory and am currently watching My Name on Netflix. They are similar because both of the lead characters are seeking revenge. 

It got me thinking.

Since two wrongs don't make a right, should we always be the bigger person and show mercy?

To forgive and forget?
To forgive but never forget?

Or

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Is there a limit to what we can put up with as humans? What do we do if someone crosses that line?

It was fascinating and I am enjoying My Name so far. I will watch the final episode tonight and post my thoughts after that. 

(A little disclaimer: they are both disturbing so do not watch either of them if the nature of the show is something you are sensitive to.)

In todays episode we discuss vocabulary on New Year resolutions and have a chat about New Year resolution. 

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 40: What are your New Year Resolutions? 

“Me suena a chino” en España quiere decir que “no entiendo nada de lo que dices”, eso me recuerda una experiencia que tuve en mi primer viaje a China cuando visité una aldea rural donde nadie hablaba inglés y mucho menos español.

Teamwork and collaboration are two of the most important topics in Business English. Today let's listen to some vocabulary, grammar, phrases, idioms and ideas for speaking about this in English. As an international professional you are always collaborating with colleagues from around the world, working together to complete projects and deliver great work. Learning and understanding how we can work together better, build better teams, and have better relationships with our team mates is key to being the best professional possible.  If you're listening on Apple podcasts please don't forget to leave a review, it really helps me out! 

For non-native English speakers, and people who speak English as a 2nd language, (second language speakers), working in teams can be challenging. Listening to what your colleagues have to say, and also expressing your own ideas, making as few mistakes as possible, and creating great sentences can be a challenge that many people find really difficult.

In this podcast we're going to be listening to several tips for improving your teamwork and collaboration skills, we'll look at the vocabulary and business English that can really help us to use those tips, then at the end we'll have a short quiz to see how much of what we talk about you can remember.
