¡¡Hola!!

¡HOY TENEMOS UN CAPÍTULO ESPECIAL!

Como  ya sabemos el día 31 de octubre se celebrará Halloween y hoy quiero compartir con todos ustedes un relato. Con este relato, podremos practicar nuestra escucha, compresión y a la vez conocer unos de los relatos más famosos y clásicos de misterio. 

La chica de la curva.
Se trata de un “fantasma” que pide ayuda en la carretera y cuando las personas se detienen a ayudarla, ella desaparece o causa accidentes automovilísticos. Las víctimas que aparentemente la han visto, la describen como una mujer vestida de blanco.

GRACIAS <3

RELATO DE LA CHICA DE LA CURVA 

There is nothing more rewarding in life than finding something you are passionate about. This is how I feel with yoga and the whole spiritual world. And you? Have you found your great passion or passions? What has it brought you in your life?


Hablando de todo

Mi gran pasión; el Yoga.

Üdvözöllek a Magyar Világ Csatornán!
A régi időkben az emberek nem mindig mentek el az orvoshoz, ha megfáztak, inkább választottak helyette háziszereket, mint például hagymát, ecetet vagy kamillateát.
Ebben a részben most megtudhatod, hogyan is használták ezeket a szereket a magyarok megfázás esetén. 😉

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの27回目です。毎日暑いですね。私は先週、夏服をオンラインで注文しました。私は相変わらず家にいることが多いので、外に出た時はなるべく遠くに行くようにしています。今までは近所のコンビニでコーヒーを買っていましたが、歩いて１５分ぐらいの店に行くことにしました。コーヒーは店によって全然味が違いますね。そこのコーヒーは少し高いですが、コンビニより美味しいです。

Hello. This is episode 27 of my podcast. It's hot every day. I ordered my summer clothes online last week. I am still at home most of the time, so when I go out I try to go as far as possible. I used to buy coffee at a local convenience store, but I decided to go to a shop about 15 minutes' walk away. Coffee tastes totally different depending on the shop. The coffee there is a bit more expensive, but it tastes better than at the convenience store.

最近、会話を練習している生徒さんが増えています。文法を覚えても、リスニングとスピーキングに自信がないと、実際に言葉を使うのは難しいですよね。発音は、大人になってから勉強するのは無理だと考えている人が多いですが、実は違います。母音の種類やイントネーション、母国語との違いを勉強で理解して、練習を繰り返せば、大人でもかなり自然な発音になります。発音についてもっと詳しく教えることができるように、今朝、本屋に行きました。

More and more students are practising conversation these days. Even if you learn grammar, it is difficult to actually use the language if you are not confident in your listening and speaking skills. Many people think that pronunciation is impossible to learn as an adult, but it is not. If you understand the different types of vowels, intonation and differences from your native language through study and repeated practice, even adults can pronounce words quite naturally. I went to the bookshop this morning so that I could teach more about pronunciation.

私の家の近くにはジュンク堂という本屋があります。ジュンク堂は、日本で一番大きい本屋チェーンの一つです。どの店舗も広くて、大量の本があります。立ち読みもできるので、東京に住んでいた時からよく利用していました。立ち読みとは、売っている本を買う前に読むことです。本屋に行ったのは昼前でしたが、たくさん人がいました。会社員も在宅勤務をするようになったので、決まった時間に働いていない人が多いです。

Decaf Coffee and Culture Differences

“I’d really like to participate in a drawing contest, which is organised by my university every year, and the first three prize winners actually go forward to a national drawing contest. I wasn’t so into drawing over the years, but I found that during all the covid lockdowns that it was a great way to pass the time, and really helped me from going stir crazy stuck at home every day during the numerous lockdowns we had.

 

I recently showed some of my friends a few of my sketches, which are mostly landscapes, and they were very complimentary, and suggested that I enter a competition, which gave me a boost of confidence. 

I imagine that the  competition would be pretty stiff for this contest, but i feel confident that i’ve really developed my skills enough over the past year or so, and with my friends and families encouragement have been able to get the nerve up to show off my drawing skills in public.

 

I guess the main reason i’d like to take part in this contest is that i’ve really grown to love drawing, and feel it would actually be a lot of fun to enter, as well as giving me a new challenge which i think i’m now ready for. Another reason is of course the chance of winning a nice prize, and maybe even having my drawing going forward to the national contest, which would really be amazing.

 

Thank you…. “

Make mistakes - it's good for you. The Method Of Paradoxical Intention. Episode 400

If you have anxiety, fear of speaking, worry about making mistakes when speak English, listen to this recording. It can revolutionalize your development!

What is Paradoxical Intention?

Paradoxical intention is a therapeutic technique, primarily developed by Viktor Frankl, that involves intentionally doing or wanting the very thing you are trying to avoid. 

The idea is to break free from the anxiety or fear that fuels the unwanted behavior or symptom.

Here’s the core concept:

The Problem: You’re struggling with a particular issue, and the more you try to fight it, the worse it seems to get..
The Paradoxical Approach: Instead of fighting the problem, you intentionally try to create or exaggerate it. 
The Paradoxical Approach: Instead of fighting the problem, you intentionally try to create or exaggerate it.

Bargeld oder Kreditkarte?
(A)  Indien hat es bereits getan:  Große Banknoten sind seit 2016 abgeschafft. Auch in einigen europäischen Ländern kann man Transaktionen  von mehr als 1000€  nicht mehr mit Bargeld durchführen und 2016 beendete die Europäische Zentralbank die Produktion von 500€-Scheinen.
(B)  Warum auch nicht?  Zum einen ist in einem System ohne Bargeld die Steuervermeidung viel schwieriger. Zum anderen sind Leute leichter zu finden, die für kriminelle Geschäfte große Geldmengen bewegen. Drittens gibt es im Supermarkt keine langwierige Suche nach Kleingeld mehr und keine Warteschlangen an der Kasse. Und viertens ist es auch nicht mehr besonders interessant, einer alten Dame die Handtasche zu entreißen, wenn kein Geld zu erbeuten ist.
(C)  Allerdings gibt es keine Medaille ohne Kehrseite: Viele von uns fühlen sich unter der Überwachung durch soziale Netzwerke schon lange nicht mehr wohl. Sollen nun auch die Banken alles über uns wissen? Wollen wir wirklich einem Kind seine eigene Bankkarte in die Hand geben? Und wie sieht es mit dem Almosen für einen Bettler und dem Trinkgeld für den Kellner im Restaurant aus?
(D)  Keine Frage: Wenn wir nur noch mit der Kreditkarte zahlen, machen wir uns total abhängig von digitalen Systemen und von der Technik. Mit Bargeld hingegen wird seit langer Zeit bezahlt; das funktioniert schnell und unproblematisch, es kostet keine Gebühren, verlangt kein Passwort und niemand kann es hacken.

Dubai has begun work on a new $35 billion airport terminal that will become the world's busiest when it's finished, according to the state's ruler.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said that the new terminal at Al Maktoum International airport will one day handle up to 260 million passengers per year.

But if that sounds like a travel nightmare, the CEO of Dubai Airports has different ideas. Paul Griffiths said that at the 400-gate airport there will be less walking, less waiting and no queues.

Griffiths said that airports around the world have gotten lazy and this one will change the way airports work.

His plan includes having security and passport checkpoints spread out around the terminal to save people time.

But 260 million is a lot of passengers. It's more than double the number that used the world's busiest airport in 2023. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, handled 105 million passengers last year.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), the state's main airport at the moment, was second in that list with 87 million passengers.

However, all of that traffic will move to Al Maktoum over the next few years, according to Sheikh Mohammed.

Al Maktoum, which first opened in 2010, will be five times bigger than DXB when it's finished.

It's not only at the airport that building is taking place. Sheikh Mohammed said that an "entire city" will be built in the area around the airport, with homes for a million people.

"Dubai will be the world's airport," he said on X, and the world's "new global center."
