En este episodio Hablaremo sobre  La vida en el campo venezolano es sencilla, pero muy rica en cultura, comida y tradiciones. Es un lugar donde el tiempo parece ir más despacio y donde se vive con más contacto con la naturaleza. 🐑 🐎 🐖

Y tú, ¿te animarías a pasar unos días en el campo venezolano?

Spanish with Nathy

In Rural Venezuela

Jeanne d'Arc, surnommée "La Pucelle d'Orléans", incarne le courage et le dévouement dans l'histoire de France. Née en 1412, elle a lutté avec foi et ténacité pour libérer la France de l'occupation anglaise durant la guerre de Cent Ans. 

Ses visions divines l'ont guidée dès l'âge de 17 ans, la poussant à couronner Charles VII à Reims. Soutenue par sa foi, elle devient une chef militaire influente, catalysant la victoire à Orléans en 1429. Capturée par les ennemis, elle subit un procès injuste et est brûlée en 1431. Son sacrifice renforce sa légende, et sa réhabilitation en 1456 souligne son innocence.

Sainte canonisée en 1920, elle inspire au-delà des frontières, symbolisant courage et idéaux nobles, un pilier de l'histoire française et un exemple durable de dévouement à une cause plus grande.

Jeanne d'Arc : Symbole de Courage et de Dévouement (B1)

I want to talk to you about two very often confused words advice and advise. 
Advice. 
- Advice is a noun, an uncountable noun.It is spelled a-d-v-i-c-e. The ‘c’ sounds like an ‘s’. Advice. It is used to mean a suggestion about what you should do. 
Advise
- 
Advise is spelled a-d-v-i-s-e, and is a verb. The ‘s’ sounds like a ‘z’. Advise. It means to suggest what should be done, to recommend or to give information to someone. 
The main difference between advice and advise is the grammar.  So obviously, you can't use a noun in the place of a verb or a verb in the place of a noun. So if you know which is which and which pronunciation goes with which, you will never get it wrong. But a big problem is with advice being uncountable. So many times I hear, can I give you an advice? No no… it to give me a piece of advice or some advice - depending on whether you mean something singular or plural.
In theory it is very simple to understand, but if you don’t pay attention to learning the rules it can make a  big difference to you getting it right or wrong in Business English.
Every day, I hear so many advanced speakers who use these words wrong. So have a look, learn it, fix it, never get it wrong again. That's it today. Bye.

Advice or Advise

If you look up “get” in a dictionary, you might see anywhere from 10 to 20 definitions.  That is really scary.  However, I have some good news.  There is a much easier way to remember how to use “get.”  

Instead of memorizing dozens of meanings, it’s better to organize the meanings of “get” into groups.  Each group is easy to recognize because it is based on what comes after “get.”

"After 5" by Japanese Teacher

“Five negative patterns that a person who can’t concentrate always does” ｢集中力の続かない人がよくやる6つのNGパターン」

From Two Sales to Bestseller: UK Author Goes Viral
When English author Vicky Ball sold two of her books at an event in December, she was delighted.

She shared the news on X, and said she was pleased because at some previous events she had not sold any books at all.

But she's now sold many more copies than that, after her post went viral and was seen millions of times by people around the world.

Her first novel, called Powerless, quickly climbed up Amazon's bestseller lists in the teen and young adult categories.

Ball, who is 48, told The Guardian that it was "amazing" to hear from people around the world who had bought her books.

Her second novel — Abandoned — has also been doing well on Amazon, and has gotten good reviews from customers.

Like so many authors, Ball had to fit in her writing around her work and family life.

She wrote her first book during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. She was working as a teacher at that time, so she spent weekends writing with her laptop on her knees.

Now Ball works at a university, and she's also studying writing in her free time.

She also said she's gotten lots of support from other writers on social media.

Asked by The Guardian if she had advice for other authors she said: "Just write!"

She said she begins writing before she has planned all of her story. "It's like a journey," she said. "You never know where it's going to go."
