Bienvenido a SlangSpot Latino: Colombia y Yo

Duncan est un homme qui avait un poste important dans l'armée britannique. Il vient d'une famille riche et noble. Il aime beaucoup le rugby et la boxe. Malgré un excellent parcours militaire, il a décidé de quitter l'armée pour acheter une salle de boxe à New York.

Duncan est un homme grand. Son apparence est importante pour lui mais son visage porte les cicatrices de la guerre. Il porte des costumes élégants pour cacher une nature plus brutale. Il est aussi à l’aise dans un salon de thé que dans une guerre de gang.

Hola, soy Jania y soy mexicana. 

El día de hoy les hablaré sobre el presente simple (present tense), y cómo nos ayuda a expresar rutinas diarias o cosas que hacemos todos los días.

What about you? What do you do everyday?

Spanish with Jania

What do you do everyday?

In questo episodio parlo di uno dei tanto stereotipi sugli italiani: L'essere "mammoni"!!!
Se è sicuramente vero che abbiamo un legame fortissimo con la nostra famiglia e in particolare con la mamma, è anche vero che non bisogna fare l'errore di valutare aspetti culturali come questo con una scala di valori che appartiene ad una cultura diversa. Buon ascolto e buono studio a tutti!!! CIAO MAMMA 🖐  :)

Are you feeling a knot of anxiety in your stomach every time company news breaks? Are you worried about potential layoffs or restructuring? Job insecurity can be a real drag on your well-being and career growth. I understand your concerns. Here are some key signs to watch for that might indicate it's time to explore new opportunities:

Is your company experiencing constant downsizing, hiring freezes, or departmental mergers? These frequent changes can create a stressful atmosphere and signal potential instability.

Does your manager avoid discussing future goals or your role in the company's direction? A lack of transparency regarding career paths and long-term plans can be a red flag.

Are there limited opportunities for professional development? Is there a culture of stagnation and a lack of encouragement for upskilling or reskilling? A dead-end job can hinder your long-term career aspirations.

Do you feel underutilized or constantly passed over for challenging projects? Is your skillset not being leveraged effectively? Feeling undervalued can be demotivating and impact your sense of purpose.

Is your job impacting your mental or physical health? Are you experiencing burnout, anxiety, or decreased work-life balance? Prioritizing your well-being is crucial, and a toxic work environment might require a change.

 Leaving a job is a significant decision.  Before making the leap, consider:

Do you have an emergency fund to cover expenses during a job search?
Research current trends and opportunities in your field.
What kind of work environment and opportunities do you seek?

I can assist you in crafting a strong resume and cover letter, offer practice interviews, and connect you with valuable job search resources. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment and explore your options.  Remember, your career path is yours to navigate.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【二胎】的话题。
这个话题应该是中国独有的一个话题。为了解决人口问题和发展问题，1982年计划生育被定为中国的基本国策。随着中国社会的迅速发展，这个政策也带来了人口老龄化问题。这些年，中国的生育政策不断在调整、完善。
2013年，启动实施一方是独生子女的夫妇可生育两个孩子的政策。
2015年，全面实施一对夫妇可生育两个孩子的政策。
2021年，实施一对夫妻可以生育三个子女的政策。
在二胎政策开放后，并不是所有的父母都选择再生一个孩子。这背后有很多原因，比如经济因素，在大城市养一个孩子的成本太高了。而且如果夫妻双方都去上班，谁来帮忙带小孩也是个问题。家里的老人不一定能帮忙，请保姆的话又不放心。第一个孩子好不容易长大了，很多职场女性也不愿意再生二胎牺牲自己的职业发展。选择生二胎的夫妻，也有他们的考虑。
1.因为我两个孩子都是女儿，她们的这个成长之路是比较不孤单的。成长的过程中，两个人都会互相地去学习。
2.应该是幸福大于心酸，我觉得的话就是每一个孩子他都是一个独立人格嘛，只要按照他的特性来发展（就好了）。
3.独生子女更容易被这种爷爷奶奶加上外公外婆再加父母亲6个大人宠一个，其实有时候小孩子会比较骄纵。可是如果多个的话这种就比较分散一点，一些事情可以彼此去讨论，他们自己可以讨论，就形成一个小的同侪关系。我觉得这样是比较好的。
你会选择生二胎吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
