등산(Hiking) 

Many of us focus on only one aspect of our communication: language. We are obsessed with learning grammar and advanced vocabulary. But let me ask you, would you like to speak with someone who sounds dull, and whose tone is so flat that they make you fall asleep? No, right? In this video, I will share how you can improve the quality of your voice and sound confident while subconsciously improving your active vocabulary and grammar.

Sound confident and learn to use new vocab and grammar naturally in a conversation

Today we're talking about a noun that we can use to talk about the first few lines in an email, or maybe the first couple of minutes of a conversation, where we say things like, "how are you doing?" or "I hope you had a great new year?" This is the word pleasantries. I hope you find it useful!

Don't forget that I'm a full time business English coach and tutor right here on iTalki, so if you have a strong work ethic around improving your English then feel free to book some of my time and let's get to work. I look forward to meeting you soon!

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Aprendiz y el Grimorio Perdido.



En una antigua torre, escondida entre las montañas, vivía un mago llamado Eldrin junto a su aprendiz, Kai. Un día, Eldrin le mostró a Kai un grimorio antiguo, un libro de hechizos lleno de misterios y secretos. El viejo mago advirtió a Kai sobre el gran poder que contenía el grimorio y los peligros de utilizarlo sin conocimiento.

Sin embargo, la curiosidad de Kai fue más fuerte. Una noche, mientras Eldrin dormía, Kai abrió el grimorio y pronunció un hechizo poderoso, desatando una gran tormenta mágica que hizo volar las páginas del libro por toda la torre.

Al día siguiente, Eldrin encontró la torre en completo desorden y el grimorio desaparecido. Kai, lleno de miedo, confesó lo que había hecho. A pesar de su enojo, Eldrin comprendió que su aprendiz había actuado por impulso. Juntos, buscaron las páginas perdidas por toda la torre y los alrededores, hasta que finalmente lograron reconstruir el grimorio.

Eldrin le explicó a Kai que la magia era un regalo poderoso, pero también una gran responsabilidad. Le enseñó que la verdadera magia no se encontraba en los hechizos más poderosos, sino en la sabiduría y la comprensión de las fuerzas que gobernaban el universo. Desde ese día, Kai se dedicó a estudiar con mayor ahínco, decidido a convertirse en un mago sabio y responsable.

In this episode we will talk about “冷”, you will learn different meanings of “冷”.
大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第3期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“冷”的话题。
大家都知道冷是温度低的意思，它的反义词是热。如果今天只有8度（°C），我们可以说今天好冷啊，我要多穿几件衣服。夏天的时候，大家喜欢喝冷饮，例如冰可乐、冰啤酒、冰奶茶。还有夏天必不可少的冰淇淋。大家可能会说，冬天我们也喝冷饮吃冰淇淋啊。
这里要告诉大家一个文化小知识。在中国，大家在吃的方面比较讲究。小时候天气冷的时候，妈妈会告诉我们：“不可以吃冷的，对身体不好。”所以我们长大后也是这样的习惯。不过啊，现在年轻人越来越不在乎这些了， 他们想什么时候吃就什么时候吃。
冷还可以表示一个人的态度。例如，他对我很冷淡，一点儿也不热情。也可以说：她总是冷冰冰的。如果两个人吵架了，互相不说话，我们可以说：他们在冷战。如果你的朋友很激动，你可以告诉他：你冷静点儿。
冷还有其他有意思的用法。例如冷门，冷门专业是指那些很少人会选择学习的专业，它的反义词是热门专业。很多年前，计算机在中国是冷门专业，过去十几年变成了热门专业。
大家听过冷笑话吗？如果你的朋友告诉你一个笑话，你觉得不好笑，那你可以说：好冷啊。冷笑话就是bad joke，lame joke。
你听过什么中文的冷笑话吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
