Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Cara Leopold, an English Teacher known as the Listening Expert. We covered a lot of topics, so this will be the first of two episodes with our conversation. The main theme of our conversation was building great listening skills in another language. In this first episode, we talk about the importance of listening when learning another language, including pronunciation, and what to do when you don’t understand your colleagues in meetings.  Here are some gems from this episode:

“People might think, “I spend most of my time speaking.” But listening is actually the skill that dominates. So by that logic, the foundation for also learning future languages should be listening.”

“So what’s really helped me to get fluent in French is observing what people say, understanding them, and then copying them.”

“Notice the expressions that people keep using and then use them. You will sound more authentic because you'll be using what the people around you actually say, as opposed to what you read in a book or what you got out of a list of 100 idioms.”

Tune in to get more valuable insights from Cara, so you’ll understand more of what people say around you! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode.

Las teorías de aprendizaje de idiomas buscan entender  la habilidad de los seres humanos para adquirir el lenguaje, tanto la lengua materna como un segundo idioma,  en diferentes contextos culturales, sociales y académicos.
(por segundo idioma el libro se refiere a cualquier idioma que se aprende, diferente a la lengua materna)

Existen diferentes hipótesis  y perspectivas  para comprender el aprendizaje de un idioma, y hay un gran número de investigaciones  que buscan sustentar y poner a prueba las diferentes hipótesis, comparando  su efectividad y estableciendo nuevos hallazgos. Aquí vamos a exponer algunas de estas hipótesis que se mencionan en el capítulo 4 del libro “how languages are learned” de Nina Spada y Patsy Lightbown.

¿Método para aprender idiomas? ¡I got you: 70-20-10 model!

Trends shift and attention spans dwindle, building trust and credibility is paramount. One often-overlooked factor in achieving this? Consistency in your communication.

Just like a brand with a clear visual identity, your communication style should be instantly recognizable. This doesn't mean being monotonous – it's about establishing a core set of principles that guide your interactions, both internally and externally. In this episode I will be discussing: The Power of Consistency: Communication Gems for Building Trust and Credibility.

By adopting these communication gems, you can cultivate a consistent voice across all your interactions. This consistency fosters trust, builds credibility, and ultimately, creates a strong foundation for sustainable business success. Remember, consistency is a journey, not a destination. Regularly review and refine your communication strategies to ensure they continue to represent your company effectively. When your communication shines with consistent clarity and purpose, you create a powerful connection with your audience, and that's a gem worth treasuring.

Colors // Χρώματα 

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.
