Bir yay günü

In this episode, I make some observations about different conversational styles among native and non-native English speakers. I am generalizing, of course, and these are just my thoughts, based on what I've experienced in my life. *

I'd love to hear what YOU think! What have you observed? 

Here are some questions you might want to talk to yourself or write about - as we reflect on the year that has ended. Maybe you want to create a short monologue by recording your thoughts in a voice memo on your phone. Or perhaps you could try writing down your ideas on your phone or on a piece of paper. Do it for 5 or 10 minutes, and don't worry about your grammar or vocabulary. Writing is a great PROCESS - an exercise where you can use your English - anywhere, anytime, without a teacher or a listener. So getting in the HABIT of writing or speaking to yourself is as important as the words you use. Over time, your skills will improve! 

---- QUESTIONS TO ANSWER -----

What does the word SUCCESS mean to you? 
What does SUCCESS LOOK LIKE to you? 
What is something you have SUCCEEDED AT?

Based on YOUR definition of success - what made 2023 a successful year for you?
What will make 2024 a successful year for you? 

And here's a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT and a WRITING EXERCISE.
Imagine it is December 31, 2024. Using past tenses, write about what made 2024 a successful year for you. (This may feel strange, but it’s a great exercise for your English and for your mind! It can be fun and transformative, too!)

-------

*Note - In this episode, I make the mistake of using the word "American" to refer to people from the US. This is a bad habit that I am (still) trying to break. The truth is that we are all Americans in the whole hemisphere - North and South. But, as they say, "old habits die hard" or existing patterns are hard to change.

Oi gente, aqui é Aneleh, sua tutora de português favorita. No podcast de hoje falaremos sobre a diferença entre Achar e Pensar. Se você é iniciante e está se sentindo perdido, pode pular direto para a parte em que explico tudo isso em inglês em um minuto e trinta segundos. (If you are a beginner and feel lost, you can skip straight to the part where I explain all this in English at one minute and thirty seconds).

Achar x Pensar 

「どうかもういっぺん弾いてください。あなたのはいいようだけれども すこしちがうんです。」
「何だと、おれがきさまに教わってるんではないんだぞ。帰らんか。」
「どうか たったもう一ぺんおねがいです。どうか。」かっこうは頭を何べんもこんこん下げました。
「ではこれっきりだよ。」
　ゴーシュは弓をかまえました。かっこうは「くっ」とひとつ息をして
「ではなるべく 長くおねがいいたします。」といってまた一つおじぎをしました。
「いやになっちまうなあ。」ゴーシュはにが笑いしながら 弾きはじめました。するとかっこうはまたまるで本気になって「かっこうかっこうかっこう」と体を曲げて 実に一生けん命叫びました。ゴーシュは はじめはむしゃくしゃしていましたが いつまでもつづけて弾いているうちに ふっと何だかこれは鳥の方が本当のドレミファに はまっているかなという気がしてきました。どうも弾けば弾くほどかっこうの方がいいような気がするのでした。
「えい こんなばかなことしていたら おれは鳥になってしまうんじゃないか。」とゴーシュはいきなりぴたりとセロをやめました。
　するとかっこうは どしんと頭を叩かれたように ふらふらっとして それからまたさっきのように
「かっこうかっこうかっこうかっかっかっかっかっ」といってやめました。それから うらめしそうにゴーシュを見て
「なぜやめたんですか。ぼくらなら どんな意気地ないやつでも のどから血が出るまでは叫ぶんですよ。」といいました。
「何を生意気な。こんなばかなまねを いつまでしていられるか。もう出て行け。見ろ。夜があけるんじゃないか。」ゴーシュは窓を指さしました。
　東のそらが ぼうっと銀いろになって そこをまっ黒な雲が北の方へどんどん走っています。

Describe a creative person you admire

You should say;
Who the person is.
How you know of this person.
What creative things they have done
And explain why you think they are creative.

Take note of how i use the word creative while i'm speaking to really keep myself on topic. It's a good idea to practice using these key words in part 2 topics.

Describe a creative person you admire - Part 2 topic

Today's piece of vocabulary is to "get by". If you can get by with what you have, you can manage to live or do things in a satisfactory way. Not to have great success or do things particularly well, but simply to reach a level that you consider to be OK.
