Hi, Guys, I bet you all have a driving license. You might be "an old driver" already!!!
But in Chinese, it means something different. Today, we will talk about it. 

比如：your friend (Tom)  is very good at flirting with girls. 
你可以说 ：Tom是一个老司机。 (Tom is an old driver.)

你是个老司机吗？哈哈，欢迎大家来分享！

Hello everyone, this is Chadwick coming to you from, in my opinion, one of the most wonderful times of the year...

The transition between spring and summer in Michigan...

It is during this time of year that we have recently shaken off the last snowflakes of winter as we entered into spring.

During the spring, flowers began to break forth from the once frozen earth.

The days remained cool, but you could feel the temperature rising and the suns warmth on your skin.

Colorful flowers began to bloom and the honeybees are collecting their pollen.

Summer is approaching.

Bon fires and floating down rivers.

Hikes through the forest.

Barbareques, family and friends.

What is your favorite transition time of the year?

Leave a comment, and thank you for listening.

En este nuevo episodio de la serie 'hablemos de viajes' vamos a conversar un poco sobre los inconvenientes o problemas inesperados que nos encontramos cuando estamos en viaje, y que muchos de ellos se escapan totalmente de nuestro control, como buses demorados, vuelos cancelados, o cambios climáticos. ¿Te pasó alguna de estas cosas incontrolables en tu último viaje? ¿Qué tanto te afectó? ¿Pudiste resolver la situación?

2週間前に左手首を骨折したことを話します。私が「どこで」「なにをしているとき」に骨を折ったのでしょうか。そして、今は？
I'm talking that I broke my left wrist 2 weeks ago. Where and what did I break my bone and what is my situation now?

骨折（こっせつ）しました！

When we feel we have had a "setback" in our language learning - we often tell ourselves stories that keep us stuck. In this podcast episode, I will offer some ideas for how we can prevent that from happening, and when it does, how we can start to move forward again.

In summary, what I say is that first we need to assess what has REALLY happened. And we need to look at the STORY we are telling ourselves - about what happened. (We can do this by writing or talking to a coach or a friend or to ourselves using the questions below). 

If we can question the stories we have told ourselves about this setback - it becomes easier to take action to get ourselves moving again. Byron Katie is an author who created 4 questions that are helpful in changing our beliefs. The questions are: 1. Is it true? 2. Can I absolutely know that it’s true? 3. How do I react when I believe that thought? 4. Who would I be without that thought? 

Turning the setback into an opportunity to take action - any action - can help us get moving again. Getting support is also very helpful. 

Writing or speaking exercise (talk into your phone!) -- take 7-10 minutes and see what you discover!:

1. Think of a time when you were trying something new (learning to play a musical instrument, starting a new routine, exercise or diet) - and you had a "perceived setback" - or when you felt you hit a wall/were blocked/"failed." What did you tell yourself at that time? Was that "story" really true? What happened after that? Did you continue doing the thing? 

2. Now think of a skill you have mastered. Maybe it's cooking something or riding a bike or being a professional or an entrepreneur. Did you ever have any "setbacks" along the way? (I am sure you did!) What steps did you take to keep going forward? Did you get support to move past these obstacles - or how did you help yourself to continue? What happened next? 

If you want - save your words and share them with me! I would love to hear what you think!
