TASK 10 - THE FOUR SEASONS 

Tässä jaksossa käyn läpi fraaseja, jotka voivat olla hyödyksi ruokakaupassa. Tuleeko muuta, onko sulla plussakorttia, tarvitko kuittia... Enjoy :)

Heippa hei!

Kaupassa

En el episodio de hoy del podcast, hablaremos sobre el uso de la palabra “bien”. Vamos a ver sus usos.

Son muchas las ocasiones en las que he podido observar que "bien", "bueno" y "buen" suelen ser motivo de confusión entre los estudiantes de español. Así que, para tratar de solucionar dicha confusión, hoy veremos qué significan y cuándo usamos estas palabras en español y cuál es la diferencia entre ellas.

When we feel we have had a "setback" in our language learning - we often tell ourselves stories that keep us stuck. In this podcast episode, I will offer some ideas for how we can prevent that from happening, and when it does, how we can start to move forward again.

In summary, what I say is that first we need to assess what has REALLY happened. And we need to look at the STORY we are telling ourselves - about what happened. (We can do this by writing or talking to a coach or a friend or to ourselves using the questions below). 

If we can question the stories we have told ourselves about this setback - it becomes easier to take action to get ourselves moving again. Byron Katie is an author who created 4 questions that are helpful in changing our beliefs. The questions are: 1. Is it true? 2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do I react when I believe that thought? 4. Who would I be without that thought? 

Turning the setback into an opportunity to take action - any action - can help us get moving again. Getting support is also very helpful. 

Writing or speaking exercise (talk into your phone!) -- take 7-10 minutes and see what you discover!:

1. Think of a time when you were trying something new (learning to play a musical instrument, starting a new routine, exercise or diet) - and you had a "perceived setback" - or when you felt you hit a wall/were blocked/"failed." What did you tell yourself at that time? Was that "story" really true? What happened after that? Did you continue doing the thing? 

2. Now think of a skill you have mastered. Maybe it's cooking something or riding a bike or being a professional or an entrepreneur. Did you ever have any "setbacks" along the way? (I am sure you did!) What steps did you take to keep going forward? Did you get support to move past these obstacles - or how did you help yourself to continue? What happened next? 

If you want - save your words and share them with me! I would love to hear what you think!

Mascotte, la marmotte
Pendant tout l'hiver, bien au chaud au fond de son terrier, que fait Mascotte la marmotte ?
Elle dort... Elle a accroché une pancarte à l’entrée: Ne pas déranger, j’attends le printemps !
Un jour, Oscar, le lézard, a voulu lui faire une farce, il est entré dans le terrier et a crié :
- Réveille-toi, Mascotte, c'est le printemps !
On était en plein hiver, il y avait même de la neige ! Mascotte, encore tout endormie, a fait quelques pas, mais, quand elle a senti le froid, elle est repartie à toute vitesse, pas contente du tout.
Oscar riait beaucoup.
- Quand tu dormiras au soleil, j’irai te tirer par la queue, a-t-elle promis. Puis elle s’est rendormie en rêvant à l'été et aux fleurs qui recouvrent la montagne.

In this episode we are going to learn how to talk about【My holiday】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
