Español y cambio.

Luego de una encuesta realizada en las calles de España preguntando a la gente si es feliz, no hubo ni una sola persona cuya respuesta haya sido ‘no’. Si nos hubieran mentido, estaríamos hablando de 'happycracia', la tiranía de la felicidad. Estar obligados a ser felices y sentirnos culpables si no superamos las dificultades. Lo describen muy bien el psicólogo español Edgar Cabanas y la socióloga israelí Eva Illouz en el libro 'Happycracia': “hoy declarar que no eres feliz es vergonzoso, como si hubiéramos perdido el tiempo o hecho algo mal”.

Computers have become an integral part of our lives, and being able to discuss them in English is essential. Whether you're a beginner or a pre-intermediate learner, this episode is designed to help you expand your vocabulary and confidently talk about computers in English.

Hosted by Louis, this informative episode begins by introducing key computer-related terms, such as computer, laptop, keyboard, mouse, monitor, internet, software, hardware, and email. Through repetition, you'll practice pronouncing these words to boost your fluency.

Next, Louis guides you through useful phrases to talk about computers. You'll learn how to answer the question, "Do you have a computer?" and respond with phrases like "Yes, I have a computer." Furthermore, you'll practice using the phrase "I use my computer for..." followed by specific activities like emailing, gaming, or studying.

Expanding on this, Louis teaches you to express preferences by saying "I prefer [software/program]" to describe your favorite software or program. For instance, "I prefer using Photoshop for editing photos." This phrase allows you to discuss your preferred tools confidently.

Additionally, Louis introduces the phrase "Can you help me with my computer?" to assist you in seeking help with computer-related issues. Understanding basic troubleshooting vocabulary like "restart," "update," or "install" will also prove valuable.

Communicative Technique and Coaching In Spoken English Development

In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.
