Following this post ( https://www.italki.com/en/post/rgEFP835lHQxQzZVm0UqbB )  I did a podcast on how to succeed as a language learner and what might be your inner (in your mind) obstacles.

You'll hear a story of my student which I took through an experience and helped her realize what was standing on the way of her success. You'll also hear my story how I became the best teacher out of 4 thousand teachers and learn some lessons from it too. 

Finally you can adjust your attitude and how you look at the future by following the advice I gave to my student and in the real time see the difference.

I have your best interest at hand so go ahead and enjoy being the 'brightness adjuster'.

Much love.

Hercules, known as Heracles in Greek mythology, is one of the most celebrated heroes renowned for his incredible strength, courage, and determination. The Twelve Labors of Hercules are a series of tasks that he was assigned to atone for a grave sin—killing his own family in a fit of madness, inflicted upon him by the goddess Hera. These labors were both a punishment and a path to redemption.

The tasks, given by King Eurystheus of Tiryns, were meant to be impossible feats, designed to test Hercules to the very limits of his abilities. 

The story of Hercules and the Twelve Labors is a powerful tale of perseverance, redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit over insurmountable odds. 

TRANSCRIPT:

Ο πρώτος άθλος του Ηρακλή ήταν να σκοτώσει το λιοντάρι της Νεµέας. Το φοβερό αυτό λιοντάρι ήταν της Ήρας και το είχε µεγαλώσει η ίδια. Το δέρµα του ήταν τόσο σκληρό που τα σιδερένια βέλη δεν το περνούσαν. Ζούσε σε µια σπηλιά µε δυο εισόδους, στην πλαγιά ενός βουνού κοντά στη Νεµέα. Από εκεί κατέβαινε στην πεδιάδα και κατασπάραζε ζώα και ανθρώπους. Οι κάτοικοι ήταν απελπισµένοι και δεν τολµούσαν να βγουν στην εξοχή.

Ο Ηρακλής, πηγαίνοντας στη Νεµέα, πέρασε από το ιερό άλσος της πόλης, έκοψε µια αγριελιά και με το ξύλο της έφτιαξε ένα βαρύ ρόπαλο. Μετά πήγε και περίµενε κοντά στη φωλιά του λιονταριού. Όταν εμφανίστηκε, ο Ηρακλής το χτύπησε µε τα βέλη του. Τα βέλη όμως έπεσαν στη γη χωρίς αποτέλεσμα και το εξαγριωμένο λιοντάρι επιτέθηκε στον Ηρακλή. Τότε αυτός το χτύπησε µε το ρόπαλο του. Το λιοντάρι πόνεσε και κρύφτηκε στη σπηλιά του. Ο Ηρακλής τότε πήρε µεγάλες πέτρες, έκλεισε τη µια είσοδο και µπήκε από την άλλη. Το λιοντάρι βρυχήθηκε και όρµησε πάνω στον ήρωα. Πάλευαν για µια ώρα αλλά στο τέλος, ο Ηρακλής κατάφερε να το πνίξει με τα χέρια του. Μετά πήρε το δέρµα του, τη λεοντή, τη φόρεσε και γύρισε στις Μυκήνες. Όταν τον είδε ο Ευρυσθέας με τη λεοντή τρόµαξε τόσο πολύ που διέταξε να του φτιάξουν ένα χάλκινο πιθάρι, για να κρύβεται όταν θα κινδύνευε.

Best of 2020: Express to Impress Podcast

Spain has said it wants to introduce a tax of up to 100% on property purchases for anyone from outside the European Union (EU) who is not a resident in the country.

That could mean a lot of potential buyers from places like Asia, the UK and the US being priced out of the market.

And that's exactly the idea.

Many Spaniards have said that they can't afford to buy property because of the number of homes being bought by foreign buyers.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently shared the plan, saying that in 2023, 27,000 apartments and houses around Spain were bought by people from outside the EU.

He said these buyers didn't purchase the homes to live in, but to make money from them.

Spain is a popular vacation destination for people around the world, and many like to buy holiday homes for themselves.

But other buyers put their properties on the short-term rental market, using sites like Airbnb.

This has meant that there are fewer homes for local people to buy. The shortage of properties in popular areas has seen prices increase, with many locals unable to afford higher prices.

Sánchez also said he wants to increase taxes on landlords who rent their properties with companies like Airbnb.

However, the prime minister's plans may not become law; for now they're just ideas.

British people who spoke to the BBC after hearing the news weren't happy with these plans.

Michele Hayes from Manchester, who has been looking at properties in Spain, said: "How many working Spanish people want to live in holiday homes in these tourist areas anyway?"
