The №1 killer of any language fluency and personal success in a job interview or IELTS speaking.

If you want to succeed in your IELTS speaking performance - having more ideas to bring to the table or if you are a job interview performer - sound more natural and stay on the point without being stuck - you want to listen to this potentially life changing podcast.

What might it be, you are wondering? What is the topic?

It's quite simple, and we are all told this by language tutors: confidence... We are told "we all need to become confident."  Is this right? Self-confidence is game changer!

Since I am a second language learner, which means I am going through the same steps as my students do, and I can understand them quite well but if I was told to become confident when learning a language - it would seem quite vague, would it be the same for you? 

Teachers tell us to be confident, but how can we be?! How do I be confident? 

What is confidence? What is it made of?

These questions are never answered because the 'confidence field' is too vague and broad, and sadly, it's overlooked as the main, foundational ingredient for someone's change!

Listen to the podcast; within it, you'll find a massive bonus that will amplify your learning and can inspire you to sel-find ideas you've never dreamed of. Give it a shot; you might like it.

The Habits of Highly Effective English Communicators

The №1 killer of any language fluency & personal success!

This is a trick I use to help students remember whether or not put an article for locations. Some locations tend to not need an article, learn which locations in this episode!

English in a minute!

When NOT to use the word "the"- locations

Try to describe your window view, with all the details.
Including the birds flying by, the children on the street, couples arguing, blah blah...

🐺Caperucita Roja y el Lobo.🐺

Caperucita Roja era una niña dulce que siempre llevaba una capa roja con capucha. Un día, su madre le pidió que llevara una cesta con pan y miel a su abuelita, que vivía en el bosque. Antes de salir, le advirtió: "No hables con extraños y sigue el camino directo a la casa de la abuela". Pero en el camino, Caperucita se encontró con un lobo astuto que, fingiendo amabilidad, le preguntó a dónde iba. Sin sospechar nada, la niña le contó su destino, y el lobo, con una sonrisa maliciosa, planeó llegar antes que ella.

El lobo corrió a la casa de la abuela y, con engaños, logró entrar. Se la comió de un bocado y luego se disfrazó con su ropa para esperar a Caperucita en la cama. Cuando la niña llegó, notó algo extraño en su "abuelita": "¡Qué ojos tan grandes tienes!" —dijo—. "Para verte mejor", respondió el lobo. "¡Y qué orejas tan grandes!", insistió Caperucita. "Para oírte mejor", contestó el lobo. "¡Y qué dientes tan grandes tienes!" —exclamó la niña asustada—. "¡Para comerte mejor!" Y de un salto, el lobo intentó atraparla.

Justo en ese momento, un leñador que pasaba por allí escuchó los gritos y entró corriendo a la casa. Con su hacha, ahuyentó al lobo y, al abrir su enorme barriga, rescató a la abuela sana y salva. Caperucita, agradecida, aprendió una gran lección: nunca debía hablar con extraños y siempre debía seguir las advertencias de su madre. Desde ese día, tuvo mucho más cuidado al caminar por el bosque.

Aschenputtel

There are many types of dairy alternatives on the market today, often made from things like nuts and soybeans.

But have you heard they're now making butter from air?

A US startup called Savor is working on a range of dairy alternatives made using something that exists all around us: carbon.

Fats are made from chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Savor's process involves taking carbon — from, say, carbon dioxide — and adding heat and hydrogen to create chains that are combined with oxygen from air.

This results in fat molecules, like the ones found in dairy and other animal products.

Now, regular butter is about 80% fat — the rest is mostly water. So to make butter from its synthetic fat, Savor just adds water, as well as an emulsifier that keeps the liquids from separating, and rosemary oil for flavor and beta carotene for color.

What does it taste like?

"I couldn't believe I wasn't eating real butter," Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates wrote in a blog post earlier this year. Gates is one of Savor's investors.

He wrote that "it tastes really good — like the real thing, because chemically it is."

Savor has already run informal taste tests with small groups of people, and is working to get regulatory approval for its product in the US.

But why butter?

A 2021 study estimated that food production makes up about 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions — and Savor estimates that about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions are just from producing fat.

But Savor's process, Gates wrote, doesn't release any greenhouse gases. He added that it uses no farmland and "less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does."

Savor is focusing on butter to start with partly because its high price point makes it easier to compete on cost. But the startup later hopes to develop other products like milk, ice cream, cheese — even meat.
