#2: Dealing with Failure (Spanish) 

¡Buen día a todos! Mi nombre es Alba Naranjo, tengo 31 años y nací en Cádiz, una ciudad con más de 3.000 años de historia situada al sur de España.
Hoy comenzamos con el tercer capítulo para hablar sobre aquellos dulces típicos Navidad.
Todos sabemos que esta época está llena de regalos, fiestas, pero, sobre todo, ¡comida! Por eso, los dulces navideños son imprescindibles.
Los mantecados y polvorones podemos considerarlos uno de los dulces de Navidad más consumidos. Son unas pequeñas tortas de manteca de cerdo, harina de trigo y azúcar. (Aunque algunos tienen ingredientes como limón, almendra, chocolate…que hacen variar mucho el sabor final)
Los polvorones suelen incluir almendras y una capa de azúcar a modo de adorno que se podría parecer al polvo, de ahí su nombre. 
Los polvorones y mantecados más conocidos de España son los de Estepa, un pueblo en la provincia de Sevilla. 
El turrón es el dulce típico de Navidad por excelencia, uno de los primeros que nos vienen a la mente al pensar en esta época del año.
El más común se elabora con miel pura, azúcar, almendras y clara de huevo, aunque pueden tener muchos más ingredientes si son turrones menos convencionales. Hay muchísimas variedades de turrón, desde los que tienen pistachos hasta los que llevan coco, aunque los más conocidos y demandados siguen siendo el turrón duro y el blando, los de toda la vida.
El turrón más popular de España es el de Alicante, también conocido como turrón de Jijona.

El mazapán es un postre con origen en Toledo que se obtiene a través del amasado de almendras crudas peladas con azúcar y suele presentarse en distintas formas. Una vez amasado, a la pasta resultante le daremos la forma que queramos y ¡listo!
Otro dulce típico es el Roscón de Reyes, pero este contiene una tradición tan divertida que haré un episodio entero para contároslo.

The "th" sound is the hardest sound for everybody. You need to give it special attention.

Tongue twisters with “th”
		The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
		
		I thought a thought. But the thought I thought Wasn’t the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought, Had been the thought I thought, I wouldn’t have thought I thought.
		
		Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug thought of that morning.
		
		Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

Struggle LESS When Getting a Haircut in Chinese!

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.
