American English Proverbs

9 - A Leopard Cannot Change His Spots

Welcome English learners! Today we’re continuing the conversation between Jennifer and James. In the last episode, James had just met Jennifer while he was walking in the park. Her dog had fetched a ball and had come close to him. Jennifer was in the middle of telling him why she started dog sitting for her friend. Listen to the story in this episode to grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!
“I was having coffee with my friend, Sarah, and we were talking about how difficult it is to live up to the standards of being a “modern woman.” Jennifer started her story.
“Oh, that sounds like an interesting conversation…” James responded. “I’ve always felt like it must be almost impossible for women to balance career and family. Especially single women.”
“Well, yeah, that’s what we were saying to each other. There’s a lot of pressure on women to be “independent,” as if they don’t need men in their lives. I think marriage and family are great and I hate the stigma that is sometimes given to housewives in our society.”
“That’s an interesting perspective to hear from a woman.” James replied. “You wouldn’t know that based on what you see in the media.”
“Exactly. Anyways, Sarah is married, so she and her husband are taking a trip this weekend. She works as an accountant, so she stays busy, but she wants to have kids, too. That’s why we were talking about “modern women.” Anyhow, I offered to watch their dog for the weekend, so here I am!” Jennifer explained.
“I see. That’s nice of you to do for her!” James appreciated this small act Jennifer was doing for her friend. He wanted to learn more about her, but she had a question for him.
“So, what brings you out to the park on a Saturday morning?” Jennifer inquired.
“I like to go for a walk when I’m thinking about something.” James told her.
“Ah, ok. So, can I ask what’s on your mind?” Sarah asked with an inquisitive look on her face. 
James was more than happy to tell her.

Ep.17Learn Thai_ How to say “I love you” in Thai 

Bueno, inicialmente, grabé con la intención de brindar la oportunidad a mis estudiantes de escuchar algunos de mis pensamientos o reflexiones sobre diversos temas. Ahora decido dar un paseo corto en el que puedo expresar uno de mis pensamientos relacionados con muchas cosas de las cuales puedo hablar. 🌲🐶 Me gustaría enfocarme en el país, ya que muchas personas que aprenden español conmigo desean conocer Latino América. Como una luciérnaga en la noche, es mi deber hablarles un poco. A veces, en una clase de gramática, no se puede hablar mucho, es mejor intentar transmitir señales gramaticales cuando tenemos conversaciones sobre diferentes temas. Muchos estudiantes me hacen preguntas y trato de que el estudiante participe. Creo que se pierde la oportunidad de hablar y comunicarse cuando solo hablo yo. Para eso me buscan. Ahora que estoy aquí afuera, caminando alrededor de un parque, es la oportunidad perfecta para plasmar ciertas opiniones y ver hasta dónde podemos llegar. Al fondo se escuchan perros y jóvenes practicando deportes. Como un pequeño plus, hay perros con sus dueños disfrutando del paseo. 🐶 🐕 🌲🌲
