にほんご　いろいろ

"不行" (bù xíng) is a more casual and colloquial expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not feasible or practical. It can be translated as "can't" or "won't work."
"不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is a more formal and polite expression, and it is often used to indicate that something is not allowed according to rules or regulations. It can be translated as "cannot" or "not allowed."
Here are some examples that illustrate the difference between "不行" (bù xíng) and "不可以" (bù kě yǐ):
Example 1:
A: 你能给我五块钱吗？ (nǐ néng gěi wǒ wǔ kuài qián ma?) (Can you give me five dollars?)
B: 不行，我没有五块钱。 (bù xíng, wǒ méi yǒu wǔ kuài qián) (No, I don't have five dollars.)
B: 不可以，这是违反公司规定的。 (bù kě yǐ, zhè shì wéi fǎn gōng sī guī dìng de) (No, it is against company rules.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the person does not have the requested amount of money. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that giving the money is against company rules.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the person simply does not have the requested amount of money, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is a rule or regulation that prevents the person from giving the money.

Example 2:
A: 你能把这个盒子放在桌子上吗？ (nǐ néng bǎ zhè gè hé zǐ fàng zài zhuō zi shàng ma?) (Can you put this box on the table?)
B: 不行，它太大了。 (bù xíng, tā tài dà le) (No, it is too big.)
B: 不可以，桌子上没有足够的空间。 (bù kě yǐ, zhuō zi shàng méi yǒu zú gòu de kōng jiān) (No, there is not enough space on the table.)
In the first example, "不行" (bù xíng) is used to indicate that the box is too large to fit on the table. In the second example, "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) is used to indicate that there is not enough space on the table.
"不行" (bù xíng) might be more appropriate if the box is too large to fit on the table, while "不可以" (bù kě yǐ) might be more appropriate if there is not enough space on the table.

In today’s episode, I wanted to speak to your heart—and your senses.

I want to encourage you to engage all five of your senses in your language learning journey. You see, language doesn’t just live in your brain—it dances through your fingertips, your eyes, your ears, even your nose and tastebuds. That’s right. When you involve multiple senses, you’re actually building stronger, deeper neural pathways that help memory stick.

Science tells us this works. Multisensory learning, especially when involving touch and movement, boosts retention and comprehension. When you touch flashcards, hear new words aloud, write them out by hand, or associate a scent or taste with a new phrase—you’re telling your brain, “This matters.”

And it does matter. You matter. Your learning journey is sacred.

So today, I reminded you to slow down, to savor the process. Whether it’s the sound of a foreign lullaby or the warmth of a dish from another culture, let your senses be your gentle guides. Let your whole body learn. And remember—there’s no right way to do it. There’s only your way, done with intention, done with love.

Until next time, I’m here cheering for you, every step and every sense of the way. 🌿

La Ciudad de México puede visitarse en cualquier estación, aún en invierno ofrece la misma vitalidad que en pleno verano, que es, por cierto, cuando suele llover un más.

Si vienes en primavera (entre marzo y mayo), o en otoño (de septiembre a noviembre) puedes evitar los extremos del frío y la lluvia, aunque mayo suele ser el mes más caluroso.

Durante los meses de invierno, de diciembre a febrero, las temperaturas pueden llegar a ser bastante bajas, sobre todo por las noches y la madrugada. Durante el verano, puedes encontrar fuertes lluvias, por lo general tienen una duración máxima de un par de horas, lo cual suele ocasionar problemas de drenaje e inundaciones menores y por lo tanto podrías llegar a pasar mucho más tiempo atascado en el tráfico.

La primavera y el otoño suelen ser muy agradables, con tardes cálidas y noches frescas. Con un sombrero y un buen bloqueador solar podrás sentirte protegido, ya que los rayos del sol pueden ser intensos en casi cualquier época del año.

El Festival Iberoamericano de Cultura Musical Vive Latino se celebra a mediados de marzo en el Foro Sol y ofrece una variada programación de grupos musicales nacionales e internacionales de distintos géneros. 
EL Festival del Centro Histórico tiene lugar a principios de abril e incluye bailes, música, artes visuales, opera, teatro e historia en muchos sitios de importancia histórica.
El Equinoccio de Primavera se celebra anualmente en Teotihuacán.
Semana Santa y Pascua: la ciudad prácticamente se encuentra vacía durante estas dos semanas, ya que la mayoría de las universidades programan vacaciones similares al spring break. En estos días el tráfico y las idas en metro, u otro tipo de transporte público, suelen ser mucho más tranquilas.
