Berbadan dua

I use HSK 1 vocabulary to tell you a Chinese folktale, the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid .

八百年前，有一个人，他有一只牛，他没有钱，他的家很小很小，大家都叫他牛郎。牛郎天天给牛吃好吃的东西，牛很喜欢牛郎。牛郎十八岁了，还没有女朋友。牛郎的牛会说话，有一天，他说，牛郎，你明天工作的时候，晚一点回家，你会看见一个美女，她是你的女朋友。 
天上有一个女人，她很漂亮，大家都叫她织女。织女八岁的时候，喜欢了一个男孩。这个男孩有一只牛。织女在天上工作，她工作的时候，可以看到牛郎。织女很想和牛郎说话。可是她的妈妈说，她太小了，现在还不可以有男朋友。现在织女十六岁了，她很想有一个男朋友。
有一天，她和朋友一起去玩水。她们很高兴，玩了五个小时，还不想回家。晚上六点，她们要回家的时候，下雨了。雨很大。织女的朋友们都飞回家了。可是织女的衣服不见了。这时候，织女听见一个人说：你好，请问这是你的衣服吗？织女不好意思地说：是的，谢谢你。织女看见这个人是牛郎，她心里非常高兴。织女很漂亮，是一个大美女。牛郎很喜欢织女，他很想织女做他女朋友，他说：“现在下大雨，你要不要去我家坐坐？” 织女高兴地说：“很谢谢你，我们去你家吧。” 牛郎做饭给织女吃，织女做漂亮的衣服给牛郎。织女和牛郎住在一起了，他们都很高兴。织女的妈妈知道后，她在天上看织女的男朋友。 她知道牛郎没有钱后，她不高兴了，她不想女儿和牛郎在一起。她叫织女回家。可是织女很喜欢和牛郎住在一起。织女不想回家了。一年后，她和牛郎有一个女儿。他们的女儿很可爱。织女很爱这个家。
织女妈妈知道后很不高兴。她去了牛郎家，带（dài = to bring）织女回家。织女回家后很不高兴，她很想回去牛郎家，看看牛郎和她的女儿。织女的爸爸很爱她，他叫牛郎七月七日来天上，看看织女。牛郎很高兴，他和女儿每年七月七日都会坐牛飞到天上，看织女。

Series: The Woman Behind the Words

Many women speak clearly in their own language —
but the moment English enters the room, something inside tightens.

Thoughts speed up.
The body contracts.
The voice becomes careful instead of alive.

This episode explores why this happens even to brilliant, experienced women —
and why the collapse is not about grammar, ability, or vocabulary.

It’s about the internal script that gets activated under pressure:
the fear of being judged,
the urge to sound “perfect,”
the pressure to perform instead of express.

You’ll hear why the voice loses presence in real moments,
what actually drives this reaction,
and how awareness alone begins to restore stability, clarity, and self-trust.

A gentle reflection inside the episode:

“Where do you abandon yourself the moment pressure rises —
and what would it feel like to stay with yourself instead?”

🌿 Mini-Exercise: “Reuniting the Two Voices”

Duration: 2 minutes — soft, no pressure

1. Close your eyes for one breath.
Notice how your body shifts when you think about speaking English.
Don’t fix. Just observe.

2. Ask yourself quietly:

“Who shows up when I speak English — the one who expresses, or the one who tries to survive?”

Let the answer arrive on its own.
Your nervous system will show you the truth faster than your mind.

3. Place one hand on your chest and whisper:

“Both versions of me are allowed to be here.”

This softens the internal split.

4. Now complete this sentence in your mind:

“When I speak English, the part of me that takes over is the part that wants to…”

(…be perfect, avoid judgment, stay safe, not bother anyone, sound smart — whatever is true for you.)

5. One final breath:
Let your shoulders drop 1%.
That 1% is where your real voice begins to return.

You can also explore this kind of work with me - book a private consultation with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a deep transformation soon!


“The Pro Behind the Words” - You don’t need new words. You need the REAL YOU who speaks them.

Episode 5 — “The Woman Who Stops Herself Mid-Sentence”

In this episode, my story of how I learnt to speak English from zero and my current challenge to learn Spanish in Costa Rica is shared. I also answer questions from students as following. 
1. did you learn English just for yourself or for my future career?
2. You have moved to other country just to learn Spanish now but how did that happen? Do you have strong passion for it and do you have plans to use Spanish for future? 

The answers to those are covered. So please enjoy ;)
