Conversaciones entre el gringo y el colombiano

Episodio 1

You don’t sound like yourself in English?
That’s not a language problem.

After 20,000+ hours of 1-to-1 work with professionals from 70 countries, I noticed one pattern almost everyone misses.

People don’t struggle because they lack English.

They struggle because they’re speaking from the wrong role.

In this short podcast, I share:
•	why learning more often makes things worse
•	why English collapses under pressure
•	and the one shift that changes how you sound without adding skills

One question to listen with:

Who are you being when you speak English — a student or a communicator?

If learning feels endless, this may explain why.
Press play. This one lands fast.

Beginner Chinese Listening：冬天去哪儿玩儿？Winter travel, where to go?

It might sound like the worst start to your day — you get into the shower, and it's ice cold. But while you might not enjoy it, a cold shower could actually be good for your health.

Spending time in cold water is not a new idea — the Ancient Greeks used cold water as a form of therapy as early as 3,500 BC. And things like cold water swims and ice baths have become quite popular around the world.

Experts believe there are a few reasons cold showers could be good for us.

Corey Simon, a doctor at Duke School of Medicine in the US, told CNN that having one or two cold showers a week helps him be more mentally present.

He believes the reason for this is that he has to mentally prepare himself for something stressful: the cold water. But once he's in it, he feels like he's in control of that stressor.

In fact, a 2022 study found that participants who showered for a minute in 10- to 14-degree water every day for two weeks had lower stress levels than a control group.

Cold showers could also be good for our immune system. In a study done in the Netherlands in 2016, people who spent 30 to 90 seconds in a cold shower took 29% fewer sick days from work.

Cold water has also been found to improve circulation, and can reduce muscle pain after a workout. Research suggests that taking a cold shower often could increase your metabolism too.

But experts say it's important to speak to your doctor before taking cold showers often, because it could be dangerous — especially for those with certain conditions, like heart or circulatory problems.

Why Cold Showers Could Be Good for You

Durante mi estancia como profesor para nepalís en India, algunas noches entre té y té, disfrutaba de charlas sobre el Himalaya. Fábulas del Nepal sobre el origen del mundo, de la cascada que nace el Ganges desde la cabellera de Shiva y también de las hazañas de los sherpas que conocen hasta el más mínimo secreto de la cordillera más impresionante de nuestro planeta. Casi todos decían lo mismo: el Everest es el más alto, pero no es el más difícil de ascender.
