What Gets Washed Up?

Why do some students learn English fast while others stay stuck for years? It’s NOT about being smarter, and it’s NOT about living in an English-speaking country. The real secret is smaller than you think. In this episode, we are talking about Consistency—the hidden superpower of language learning. We’ll explore why doing a little bit every day beats cramming for hours, and we’ll learn the exact phrases you need to talk about your habits, routines, and goals. Plus, we’re fixing another common grammar trap: "Used to" vs. "Be used to". Get your notebook ready—this one might change everything!

The Secret Weapon Nobody Talks About (It’s Not Grammar!)

第二个行星上住着一个爱虚荣的人。
The second planet was inhabited by a conceited man.
喔唷！一个崇拜我的人来拜访了！
Ah! Ah! I am about to receive a visit from an admirer!
这个爱虚荣的人一见到小王子，老远就叫喊起来。
he exclaimed from afar, when he first saw the little prince coming.
在那些爱虚荣的人眼里，别人都成了他们的崇拜者。
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
“你好！”小王子说道。“你的帽子很奇怪。”
"Good morning," said the little prince. "That is a queer hat you are wearing."
“这是为了向人致意用的。”爱虚荣的人回答道，“当人们向我欢呼的时候，我就用帽子向他们致意。”
"It is a hat for salutes," the conceited man replied. "It is to raise in salute when people acclaim me."
可惜，没有一个人经过这里。
Unfortunately, nobody at all ever passes this way.
小王子不解其意。说道：“啊？是吗？”
"Yes?" said the little prince, who did not understand what the conceited man was talking about.
爱虚荣的人向小王子建议道：“你用一只手去拍另一只手。”
"Clap your hands, one against the other," the conceited man now directed him.
小王子就拍起巴掌来。
The little prince clapped his hands.
这位爱虚荣者就谦逊地举起帽子向小王子致意。
The conceited man raised his hat in a modest salute.
小王子心想：“这比访问那位国王有趣。”
"This is more entertaining than the visit to the king," the little prince said to himself.
于是他又拍起巴掌来。
And he began again to clap his hands, one against the other.
爱虚荣者又举起帽子来向他致意。

The conceited man against raised his hat in salute.
小王子这样做了五分钟，之后对这种单调的把戏有点厌倦了，
After five minutes of this exercise the little prince grew tired of the game's monotony.
说道：“要想叫你的帽子掉下来，该怎么做呢？”
"And what should one do to make the hat come down?" he asked.
可这回爱虚荣者听不进他的话，
But the conceited man did not hear him.
因为凡是爱虚荣的人只听得进赞美的话。
Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
他问小王子道：“你真的钦佩我吗？”
"Do you really admire me very much?" he demanded of the little prince.
“钦佩”是什么意思？
What does that mean– 'admire'?
钦佩么，就是承认我是星球上最美的人，服饰最好的人，最富有的人，最聪明的人。
To admire mean that you regard me as the handsomest, the best-dressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on this planet.
可您是您的星球上唯一的人呀！
让我高兴吧，请你还是来钦佩我吧！
小王子轻轻地耸了耸肩膀，说道：“我钦佩你，可是，这有什么能使你这样感兴趣的？”
于是小王子就走开了。
小王子在路上自言自语地说了一句：“这些大人，肯定是十分古怪的。”

The trend we are exploring in this episode is "Nomophobia," a term that blends "no," "mobile," and "phobia." It refers to the modern-day anxiety and fear of being without your mobile phone or unable to use it. We'll discuss how this psychological phenomenon is impacting our daily lives, our focus, and our real-world connections. This is a hot topic in psychology, technology, and culture right now, making it the perfect subject for an English conversation lesson.

What to expect during the job interview? Today I am talking about the most common job interview questions. Be prepared; don't go to your job interview blindly. 

Do you English?

The most common questions at the job interview

Spanish is a very international language, there are more that twenty Hispanic countries, each of them with dozens of different accents and dialects. In this episode I would like to discuss what accent or dialect is the best for a Spanish student (in case there is actually one).
