🌴 Diálogo: Una Mala Experiencia de Viaje ✈️☔

Laura: ¡Ay, Pablo! No te imaginas la peor experiencia que tuve en mi último viaje.

Pablo: ¡¿En serio?! ¿A dónde fuiste?

Laura: Fui a una playa en el Caribe… y todo salió mal desde el principio.

Pablo: ¡Pero el Caribe es hermoso! ¿Qué pasó?

Laura: Para empezar, el vuelo se retrasó seis horas. Estuve todo ese tiempo en el aeropuerto, aburrida y cansada.

Pablo: Uf, qué mal. Pero al menos llegaste a tu destino, ¿no?

Laura: Sí… pero cuando llegué, llovió toda la semana. ¡Toda! Ni un solo día de sol.

Pablo: ¡No puede ser! ¿Y qué hiciste entonces?

Laura: Bueno, intenté disfrutar. Pero, para colmo, el hotel que reservé no era como en las fotos.

Pablo: ¿Te engañaron con las fotos?

Laura: Sí, decían que tenía vista al mar y resultó que daba a un callejón oscuro.

Pablo: ¡Qué estafa! ¿Reclamaste?

Laura: Claro, pero solo me ofrecieron un descuento para mi próxima estancia. ¡Como si quisiera volver!

Pablo: Jajaja, no me río de ti, pero es increíble. ¿Y qué tal la comida?

Laura: ¡Ah, eso fue lo peor! Comí algo en un restaurante local y terminé con una intoxicación.

Pablo: ¡Ay no, Laura! ¡Eso es un desastre total!

Laura: Sí… ahora entiendo cuando dicen que no todos los viajes son perfectos.

Pablo: Bueno, al menos tienes una anécdota divertida para contar.

Laura: ¡Exacto! Aunque, sinceramente, la próxima vez elegiré un viaje más cerca y sin fotos falsas.

Pablo: ¡Mejor! Y si necesitas un compañero de viaje, ya sabes a quién llamar.

Hello and welcome!

My name is Paulius and I work as a Lithuanian and English tutor online. I have created this podcast for anyone who is interested in improving Lithuanian. While this show is mostly aimed at intermediate learners, you can still benefit from it even if you are a beginner, because I’m going to be speaking relatively slowly and I will try to avoid using difficult words.

Even if you feel that the podcast is hard to follow at first, no worries, I promise with time, it’s going to get easier. Language comprehension takes time and the more input you get, the easier it becomes to interpret and recall the newly learnt information. For this reason, I suggest listening to this podcast every or every other day for at least 5 to 10 minutes a time, re-listening some of the same content every few weeks or months. Once you get used to the various sounds, rhythms, sentence patterns, and so on, you will naturally want to listen more.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Patreon. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.

Convergent Thinkers vs. Divergent Thinkers: Is One Better Than the Other?

verybody is capable of both convergent and divergent thinking, depending on the situation. However, it’s natural to lean more toward one or the other when approaching problems and projects.

“Some people have a natural preference for divergent thinking. They are the people in organizations who love to come up with new ideas,” says Manning, “They are also the people who are most useful when solving daunting, complex challenges because they are more likely to articulate ideas that are new and useful.”

The real issue lies in becoming too reliant on one method of thinking. “Too much divergent thinking can lead to endless ideation and no solutions. Too much convergent thinking can lead to no new ideas and ‘analysis paralysis,’”

Project Management and the Lure of Convergent Thinking
That’s a trap that project management professionals—who are notoriously married to their plans and processes—can fall into easily.

Let’s break this all down with some examples. Divergent thinking starts with an objective—perhaps you need to generate 1,000 new leads within a month. You start by brainstorming creative ideas and solutions to satisfy that goal: happy hours with famous speakers, direct mailers including $100 gift cards, a man in a gorilla suit on the corner of Times Square.

From there, you move into evaluating those options and settling on the one(s) that works best. This is an example of convergent thinking.

Let's continue later today on this topic and explore it further. See you soon.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、福袋について。

日本には、正月になると、福袋が販売されます。
ラッキーバッグという国もあるかもしれないです。
今調べたら、他の国ではあまりないみたいですね。

福袋の始まりは、江戸時代に服屋さんが、着物のあまりをまとめて売ったというところから始まったそうです。

今も、雑貨店や服屋さん、百貨店など、いろんなところで福袋がありますね。これも昔は売れ残ったものなどをまとめて安く売っていました。ですが、最近では、福袋用の商品が入っていることも増えたみたいです。
　
僕は今は全く福袋買ったりしません。
昔は少し買ったりしていました。
もう10年以上前ですが、その時にアップルの福袋を買った記憶があります。今もしてるんでしょうか。

今は本当に物欲が少ないので、わざわざ人が多いところに行って、福袋を買いたいという気持ちはありません。
人によっては、それが楽しみな人もいると思います。

みなさんはこういった福袋が売っていたら買いたいですか？ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
