Hello everyone and welcome to our podcast today! Today we are going to talk about a fascinating topic: linguistic idioms from Mexico, with a special focus on the word ‘chamba’ and other popular idioms.

你喜欢做什么？What do you like to do?(elementary level)

"I'm not myself in English." 

You know exactly who you are in your language. Authoritative. Clear. Confident. 

You know what to say, how to say it, where to put your hands. 

Then English enters the room. 

And someone else shows up instead. 

In this episode I name what is actually happening when you switch languages — and it is not a vocabulary problem or a grammar problem. 

It is a personality split. 

You shift from your original self into a student. And students do not lead meetings, do not win interviews, do not command rooms. 

The methods you have been using to fix this were never designed to solve it. 

They were solving something else entirely. 

Listen to this. Then ask yourself: who actually shows up when you speak English?

12月31日大みそかには、お寺で鐘（かね）ついて、人の心にある悪い気持ちを追い出しました（おいだす remove）。新年の前の日だからです。また、やりましたよ。今度は2月3日。世の中にある悪いモノ、例えばコロナとか、そういうものを、豆（まめ  bean）をまいて、家から追い出しました。2月4日から「春」だからです。日本人、ほんとうにきれい好きです。悪いモノ＝鬼（おに）を追い出す、この行事を「節分 せつぶん」と言います。でもさ、鬼も追い出されたままではないようです。最近はビジネスしてるみたい！そんなお話を少し。
