Episode 1: Tamar Adler on eggs

[ — Audio description, listen and read along for greater understanding. — ]
A auto-estima é sobre como nos sentimos em relação a nós mesmos.
Quando temos auto-estima, gostamos de quem somos.
É importante lembrar que todos nós temos qualidades únicas que nos tornam especiais.
Então, é bom se valorizar e se tratar com gentileza.
A auto-estima é como um raio de sol que brilha dentro de você.
É o jeito especial que você se vê, se ama e se valoriza.
Lembre-se sempre: você é único e especial do jeito que é.
Acredite em si mesmo e deixe sua luz interior brilhar!

A auto-estima — SMALL TEXT A1-B2 LEVEL.

I was sick so I took the opportunity to focus on casual vocabulary we use in English when we're not feeling well.

It's a shorter episode because it was only me, but in describing my illness, I focus on more vocabulary than usual:

under the weather
come down with (something)
a bug going around
burning the candle at both ends
be out of sorts
blow your nose
be stuffed up
run a fever
pull through
be on the mend

020 - Sick and Tired

Did you feel confident in your last interview? 

If you didn’t feel confident, your interviewer likely didn’t perceive you as confident. 

Yet, in the U.S. and many other countries, interviewers prefer confident candidates. It seems to have an intoxicating effect on them, and many of them equate it (for better or for worse) with competence. So, it’s a skill worth learning! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn which groups of people struggle most with confidence in interviews. You’ll also learn how you can overcome self-doubt to feel and project confidence in an interview.  Ultimately, you'll feel better, increase your interviewer's confidence in you, and land a job offer.

How to Be Confident in an Interview

げんき、第3－2課82ページ、かいわより。 リスニングとリーディングのれんしゅうです。私が言ったあと、リピートしてください。 2かいめは少しはやいです。 
It‘s for your practice of listening and reading. Repeat after me without reading げんきChapter 3－2, even if you have the textbook. I speak a little faster the second time. 
这是为了你的听力和阅读练习。 即使你有课本，也不要读　げんき３課２、跟着我重复。 我第二次说得快一点。 
もしあなたが中級（ちゅうきゅう）でも、いいれんしゅうになると思います。 
It should still be good practice even if you are an intermidiate-level student. 
即使您是 N4 或以上级别的学生也很有用
