Positive thoughts for the New Year!
This is from a blog post I wrote at the start of 2021, but I think it is still really important now.

The Social Evolutionary

Last year was bad? Let's remember the good things.

If you or your partner are a foreigner, is it frustrating, or sad, that your children don't speak the language, apart from maybe a few words?

We are Bilingual. So why aren't our kids?

Have we forgotten how to be social on social media?

How Social is Social Media?

Important words that make people happier all around the world.

Some examples in the recording:
Hello: Hola (Spanish), Ni hao (Chinese), Salam - سلام (Persian)
Please: Sils vous plait (French), bitte (German)
Thank you: obrigado (Portuguese), dyakuyu - дякую (Ukranian)

I hope my pronunciation wasn't too bad!

The Magic Word

This is a famous phrase from a movie, but is it true?

Does the rain in Spain stay mainly on the plain?

Many Spanish people scratch their heads at the shocking translations of movie titles that have nothing to do with the original, or simply sound completely stupid.
