Story time with Debbie

Nivel: A2. B1.
Tema: Repaso rrápido de gramática.

Hoy tenemos ejemplos sencillos para comprender la diferencia entre los verbos  SENTIR, como un verbo "normal", y SENTIRSE, que termina en "SE", y es pronominal. Entonces usamos los pronombres reflexivos para conjugar sentIRSE y claro, eso tiene un efecto en su significado... bueno.. su toque de locura y allí está la diferencia.

¿Hablamos de eso?. Claro. Y como siempre te invito a escribir tus propias oraciones y luego... a USAR todo esto que repasas aquí. 

Gracias por comentar, por suscribirte y por proponer nuevos temas.

Oh.., ¿Ya reservaste tu próxima lección?... ¿Si?, hmmm, siento que no es verdad :D!

Nos vemos.
Rocio.

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.)

El Café en Colombia: historias y experiencias de caficultoras y caficultores.

Hey baby, you rock my world! I've fallen head over heels in love with you.
Some common expressions we use when talking about LOVE.

(对不起 about my Chinese pronunciation! This is why listening is so important in learning languages.)

The Social Evolutionary

The Language of LOVE

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
