This little story by Lev Tolstoy is about patience, creativity, and emotional intelligence — the ability to stay calm, think clearly, and find a smart solution instead of giving up 💪

А little story  — “The Jackdaw and the Pitcher.”

This week we go over our favorite artists & bands from Canada & Japan and quickly learn our favorite domestic bands are often not so popular outside our countries, unless they have a song in an anime apparently.

今週のポッドキャストでは、僕たちが個人的に好きなカナダと日本のアーティストやロックバンドについて、ふれてみました！話していると、アニメの主題歌じゃないかぎり、お互いの国のアーティストやロックバンドがあまり有名じゃないことに、すぐに気づきました！

我的妈妈

Ken jij het verschil tussen perfectum en imperfectum?
Perfectum: hebben/zijn + voltooid deelwoord → acties die afgerond zijn (Ik heb gegeten).
Imperfectum: verleden tijd van werkwoorden → gewoontes of situaties in het verleden (Ik speelde vroeger buiten).

Perfectum en Imperfectum

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

So you want to sound more like a native English speaker. That means you have to speak fast English, right?

Noooo waaaay :)

There is a danger with speaking fast - you might lose clarity of what you are saying ..

You may think you’ll impress people with how quickly the words come out of your mouth, but what they really want is to understand you.

When you speak too quickly, you might start mumbling, dropping important sounds, or rushing through your vowels. 

Is this the kind of impression you'd like to create? What if people that are listening to you have a challenge with listening, what will this mean? ..

Listen to the recording and to some suggestions I have for you + listen to my speed too and reflect on my example when communicating in English daily 

Making it a permanent habit will make all the difference.

I hope it helps and chooe&book some of my limited slots to train with me now.

Are you trying to speak too fast in English?

Describe something that surprised you.

You should say:
What is it
How you found about it
What you did
And if it made you happy or not.

See you in Part 3 later today.
