La leyenda de La Candileja proviene de las zonas rurales de Colombia y cuenta la historia de un espíritu que aparece en forma de tres bolas de fuego brillantes y ardientes. Según la tradición, La Candileja es el alma de una abuela que malcrió a sus nietos, permitiendo que fueran crueles y malvados. Como castigo, fue condenada a vagar por los caminos, atormentando a quienes se cruzan en su camino.

La Candileja se presenta como una luz brillante que flota en el aire, moviéndose rápidamente de un lado a otro, persiguiendo a los viajeros que se atreven a andar solos por las noches. A veces, aparece con un sonido espeluznante y otras simplemente los deja desorientados, perdidos en la oscuridad. Muchos dicen que si alguien es alcanzado por estas llamas, puede quemarse sin remedio.

Para protegerse de La Candileja, algunos campesinos aconsejan llevar consigo una rama de sauce o encender una fogata, ya que la luz del fuego puede hacer que el espíritu se aleje.

Good Evening :D 


I support your language goal(s) and I am here for anyone who needs my help. I just feel upset when a student tells me that they hate how they sound when they speak. They often only look up to native speakers.

A native speaker is someone who had a head start and you are playing catch-up.

Enjoy the process and know that ALL of us (teachers) are proud of you!

Good luck everyone! 

PS; My personal goal is to start learning Japanese this year. The journey is going to be a long one and I hope I will take my own advice when the time comes.

In this episode we are going to learn 【Cooking】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
