LA ESCASEZ DE AGUA EN LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO.

Spanish México

ここで防護スーツをぬいだら、免疫力のない空中帝国の人間は、ひとたまりもありません。
カンパネラは岩場に腰をおろし、地上5000メートルにある空中帝国を見上げました。
そのときでした。
.
「だれだ！」

ふりかえると、『森』の住人たちがならんでいました。
その中心に、赤毛の女が立っていました。
まちがいありません。あのときの女の子です。
「なにものじゃ！」
大男が大きな声をあげました。
.
赤毛の女は一歩まえに出て、いいます。
「森のものではなさそうね。なんの用かしら？」
.
カンパネラは とっさに言葉をかえします。
「キミに、あいにきたんだ」

「なにをいっているんだ」と　『森』の住人たちは にらみつけてきました。　
が、赤毛の女は顔色ひとつ変えません。
「ウソおっしゃい。外からきたものが どうして私をしっているの？」

カンパネラは 大きく息をすって　きもちをととのえ、こたえました。
「むかし、あの岩のうえで笛をふいてたろ？」
赤毛の女は目を丸くしました。

One Minute of Practical English:How to ask for promotion? Episode 23

¡Hola mi nombre es Elizabeth Benítez y Bienvenidos a mi podcast de español para principiantes! En el episodio de hoy, vamos a hablar sobre cómo presentarte a ti mismo en español. Si estás aprendiendo español, esta es una habilidad muy importante que te ayudará a hacer amigos y establecer conexiones en el mundo hispanohablante.

Primero, hablemos sobre cómo decir tu nombre. Puedes decir "Hola, me llamo [tu nombre]". Por ejemplo, si tu nombre es Elizabeth, puedes decir "Hola, me llamo Elizabeth". Es importante recordar que en español, el apellido va después del nombre, así que si tienes un apellido, también puedes agregarlo. Por ejemplo, "Hola, me llamo Elizabeth Benítez".

Luego, puedes seguir presentándote con información básica sobre ti. Puedes decir "Soy de [tu país]" para indicar de dónde eres. Por ejemplo,"Soy de Ecuador" "Soy de México" o "Soy de España". También puedes decir "Tengo [tu edad] años" para indicar tu edad. Por ejemplo, "Tengo 28 años".

Si quieres hablar un poco más sobre tus intereses o tu trabajo, puedes decir "Soy [tu profesión o estudiante]" o "Me gusta [tus pasatiempos o intereses]". Por ejemplo, "Soy estudiante de medicina" o "Me gusta leer y viajar".

Finalmente, para terminar tu presentación, puedes decir "Encantado/a de conocerte" o "Mucho gusto". Estas frases significan "Nice to meet you" en inglés y son una forma amable de cerrar tu presentación.

¡Y eso es todo por hoy! Espero que este episodio te haya ayudado a aprender cómo presentarte a ti mismo en español. ¡Hasta la próxima!

No tengas miedo de hablar español

Preséntate a ti mismo (Introduce yourself) 

When we learn anything new, including a foreign language, it's necessary to memorize some basic information.  This provides a foundation for everything else.  So how can you memorize what you need without wasting a lot of time or feeling bored?

Difficult English Explained

What's the most efficient way to memorize material? (Part 1)

As the US navigates what some experts have described as a loneliness epidemic, employers and employees across the country are trying to address what for many people is a lack of real friendships at work.

It's not a new thing, but remote work has only intensified the problem, says leadership expert Michael Bungay Stanier.

"People have this desire to be seen and be heard," Bungay Stanier says, but on video calls, the group gets right down to business rather than having the natural, informal interactions of a real room. It reduces people to "little heads in squares."

It's not easy to talk about this lack of friendship at work "because it feels like a shameful confession," Bungay Stanier says. But his clients are beginning to bring up the subject.

Awkward as it may be, these are conversations worth having, according to psychology professor Laurie Santos.

At-work friendships are good for employers, too. Santos says research shows that workplace friendships and a sense of belonging are vital to employees' happiness — and companies' success.

We assume that friendships at work are "a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have," she said.

But "maybe one of the reasons we're all so disengaged at work ... is that we're actively not investing in the thing that might matter the most for our happiness at work, which is our connection with other people," Santos said.

Some large companies began paying more attention to employee health long before the pandemic, often focusing on physical health.

Today, more employers are looking at ways to really improve people's mental health and well-being.

And experts say there is a lot that companies can do, even rethinking physical spaces in the offices with relationships in mind.

More than anything, remember the importance of everyday greetings at work — even if they make you a bit uncomfortable. A simple hello, Bungay Stanier says, could be the beginning of the end of loneliness.
