摆烂 (bǎi làn)

Entre chiens et chats
Cette histoire se passe il y a bien longtemps. Un hiver terrible s’abat sur le monde. Tous les animaux souffrent du froid et de la faim, chacun cherche un refuge pour se réchauffer un peu.
Le hasard fait que le peuple des chiens et le peuple des chats découvrent en même temps l’entrée d'une grotte.
- J’ai découvert cette grotte le premier, déclare le roi des chats. Elle portera mon nom et sera réservée à mon peuple.
- Pas question, rétorque le roi des chiens. Je suis arrivé avant toi…
- Alors, ce sera la guerre entre nos peuples ! proclame le roi des chats.

孔融是汉朝有名的文学家，他六七岁的时候就聪明过人。许多有才学的大官出各种各样的难题考他，都没有把他难住。有一次，孔融参加了一个宴会。在宴会上，孔融机智地回答了几个人出的难题，受到在场官员的称赞。大家都说他长大后一定有出息。有一位大官见众人都捧这个六七岁的孩子，心里很不服气，便对大家说：“依我看，小时候聪明的人，长大以后不一定聪明。”孔融听了，马上接过话来，对他说：“我想，您小时候一定非常聪明。”

Language lovers, tune in!

I hear this question, “How can I sound more like a native English speaker?” all the time, and I always give the same response. Use the shadowing technique!

Shadowing involves repeating someone's speech immediately after they say it. It's like you're following them as your shadow follows you. The beauty of this technique is that anyone can do it alone. Since most people learning a second language don't have the opportunity to speak with native speakers often, speaking it on your own is the next best thing. This method isn't only for English learning; it will work for all languages!

Tune in to the latest Express to Impress podcast episode to learn how to implement the shadowing technique. Learn about its origins and get tips to implement it effectively.  You’ll be inspired by the stories I share of people who have attained near-native English fluency and pronunciation by using this technique. By the end, you’ll be convinced the shadowing technique is an incredibly powerful English learning tool!

In this episode, I talk about interviewing in a second language. Speaking in a second language is tough; interviewing is tough. Doing both of them at the same time? Well, it can feel like walking into the lion’s den. It’s not for the faint of heart. And yet, there are a lot of brave souls out there who are willing to do what it takes to land a job in their second language.

You will hear a story about when I interviewed in Spanish, which is my second language, and get my top five tips for how you can succeed in an interview in your second language. Then you'll learn the definitions for the English idioms and phrases I used in the episode.
