EP 6. Indicativo vs Subjuntivo


In this friendly speech, Smith takes the stage to discuss the contrasting approaches to English language learning - ESL and EFL. Smith highlights the limitations of the traditional ESL method, which focuses on vocabulary and grammar memorization without delving into the deeper meanings of words. In contrast, Smith advocates for the EFL approach, which emphasizes understanding, natural variations, practical discovery, fluency, and long-term confidence. The speech concludes with an invitation for learners to explore personalized lessons with Smith, allowing them to enhance their language skills in a more tailored and effective manner. It's an empowering and informative talk that sheds light on the benefits of the EFL approach and encourages learners to take their English proficiency to the next level

What you might not know is that it can also be used to mean "influence something" as in "my work is informed by years of experience" Or maybe "the decisions that we make are always informed by our company culture. So what do you think, have you ever heard this usage?
