How to ‘flatter’ the Chinese In-laws!

In this video, I give an example to better understand present perfect tenses. 

 If you think you understood, listen to the audio again and comment below the sentence in which I used a present perfect tense at the beginning of this episode!

*Winner gets to ask for help with their problem areA and will get an answer through podcast!*

Bonus points if you can comment below another way to say the example sentence in the podcast so that it really means it has been a looooong time! 
*Advanced challenge! Good luck :)*



English in a minute!

PRESENT PERFECT tense - Is it about PAST or PRESENT? (SOLVED!)

Las teorías de aprendizaje de idiomas buscan entender  la habilidad de los seres humanos para adquirir el lenguaje, tanto la lengua materna como un segundo idioma,  en diferentes contextos culturales, sociales y académicos.
(por segundo idioma el libro se refiere a cualquier idioma que se aprende, diferente a la lengua materna)

Existen diferentes hipótesis  y perspectivas  para comprender el aprendizaje de un idioma, y hay un gran número de investigaciones  que buscan sustentar y poner a prueba las diferentes hipótesis, comparando  su efectividad y estableciendo nuevos hallazgos. Aquí vamos a exponer algunas de estas hipótesis que se mencionan en el capítulo 4 del libro “how languages are learned” de Nina Spada y Patsy Lightbown.

See you tomorrow for further development :)

In this episode, I’ll explore how Chinese people don’t always say “I love you” directly. So, what’s the replaced way? Let’s dive into the art of expressing love in Chinese and make your Valentine’s Day extra special!

Valentine's Day：用中文表达爱意

Het Nederlands is niet altijd even gemakkelijk te vertalen naar een andere taal. Het meest bekende voorbeeld is misschien het woord ‘gezellig’ waarvoor in het Engels wel eventueel ‘cosy’ gebruikt kan worden, maar niet in elke context. In de aflevering van vandaag gaan we kort spreken over een ander moeilijk te vertalen woord, namelijk ‘gunnen’. 

Beter Gezegd

Onvertaalbaar Nederlands: Gunnen
