Superstitions about LUCK! 关于运气的迷信

En este episodio te explico qué es lo que los españoles llamamos la cuesta de enero.  Enero normalmente es un mes difícil. Después de la alegría de las fiestas de Navidad, las comidas y los regalos, toca volver a la realidad, y empezamos a pensar en el dinero que hemos gastado, en los propósitos que no estamos cumpliendo y en las rebajas.

Les crêpes
Minouchette, la chatte, s’ennuie.
- Si on faisait des crêpes ? suggère maman.
- Quelle bonne idée ! Je vais t’aider, promet Minouchette.
Après avoir mis la farine et les œufs dans un bol, on verse doucement le lait en remuant avec une cuillère en bois. Puis, on chauffe la poêle et on y dépose un peu de pâte. Pour qu’elle cuise de l'autre côté, on doit faire sauter la crêpe.
- Je peux essayer ? demande Minouchette.
Hop, la crêpe saute si haut qu’elle s’envole par la fenêtre et tombe sur la tête d’Oscar, le canard !
- Tu as un beau chapeau, lui dit son ami, et il sent bien bon !

Des Milliers D'histoires

Histoire 23 - Les crêpes

In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.
