Hello, hello 👋 This is an episode recorded only in Spanish, at an intermediate level. You will hear vocabulary that I find really useful but most people don't use (you will find this vocabulary in the quiz questions).
Hoy hablamos de la relación que tenemos con el cerebro aprendiendo idiomas. 
Vamos a hablar de  las razones más comunes del cerebro para evitar que alcancemos nuestros objetivos:
-Miedo al fracaso 😟
- Zona de confort  😌
-Síndrome del impostor 🤥
-Sesgo de negatividad 😰 
Gracias por estar aquí, nos escuchamos la próxima semana 🎧🫶

このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日もN2をやります！
〜にも関わらず、をやります！
 これは、〜のに、という、予想とちがったことへのおどろきとか、不満などの気持ちを言いたい時に使います。


さっそく、例文、いきましょう！

・めっちゃ勉強したにも関わらず、試験に落ちました。

・台風が接近しているのにも関わらず、仕事に行きました。

・英語があまり話せないにも関わらず、海外に住むことにしました。

・よく走っているにも関わらず、あまりやせません。

・大雨にも関わらず、花火大会は決行されました。

こんな感じですね！
