Introduction to Modal Verbs

If learning English really worked, why does it disappear when your career is on the line?

This short podcast explores a common experience among adult English learners who use the language at work. 

Many people can understand English well, prepare carefully, and perform confidently in low-pressure situations. However, during interviews, meetings, or important conversations, their English may suddenly feel unavailable.

Instead of focusing on grammar, vocabulary, or learning speed, this episode looks at what happens when pressure appears and why language access can change in high-stakes moments. 

It invites listeners to reflect on the difference between knowing English and being able to use it when professional consequences are involved.

The goal of this episode is not to offer quick solutions, but to help learners recognize a pattern that often goes unnoticed and to better understand why progress can feel inconsistent, even after years of study.

30. Why I travel (여행의 이유)

In that episode i purposely take a woman's voice as i embody the role of a " fille de joie " ( joy girl ) in the old Paris . 

"Je suis comme je suis"

Je suis faite comme ça
Quand j'ai envie de rire
Oui je ris aux éclats
J'aime celui qui m'aime
Est-ce ma faute à moi
Si ce n'est pas le même
Que j'aime à chaque fois
Je suis comme je suis
Je suis faite comme ça
Que voulez-vous de plus
Que voulez-vous de moi
Je suis faite pour plaire
Et n'y puis rien changer
Mes talons sont trop hauts
Ma taille trop cambrée
Mes seins beaucoup trop durs
Et mes yeux trop cernés
Et puis après
Qu'est-ce que ça peut vous faire
Je suis comme je suis
Je plais à qui je plais
Qu'est-ce que ça peut vous faire
Ce qui m'est arrivé
Oui j'ai aimé quelqu'un
Oui quelqu'un m'a aimée
Comme les enfants qui s'aiment
Simplement savent aimer
Aimer aimer...
Pourquoi me questionner
Je suis là pour vous plaire
Et n'y puis rien changer.

"I Am What I Am"

I am what I am
I’m made that way
When I want to laugh
Yes I erupt with laughter
I love the one that loves me
Is it my fault
If it’s not the same one
That I love each time
I am what I am
I’m made that way
What more do you want
What do you want from me
 
I’m made for pleasure
And nothing can change that
My heels are too high
My figure too curved
My breasts way too firm
And my eyes too darkly ringed
And then afterwards
What can you do about it
I am what I am
I please who I please
 
What can you do about it
What happened to me
Yes I loved someone
Yes someone loved me
Like children love each other
Simply knowing how to love
Love love…
Why ask me
I’m here for your pleasure
And nothing can change that.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上期我们聊了什么人适合吃辣，什么人不适合吃辣。那今天我们继续来聊一聊吃辣的时候要注意什么。
主持人：所以最后左医生能不能给我们总结一下，您这有没有比如说几条建议，比如吃辣的一些原则，帮助大家更好地吃辣，更科学更安全地吃辣？
左医生：那我们辣椒呢，又分干辣椒和鲜辣椒。那鲜辣椒的话当成蔬菜吃我觉得还是不错的，干辣椒呢，您当成调味品来吃，它里面的辣椒素都有的，都有一定的作用啊，包括对我们减肥啊促进代谢、祛湿都有一定的作用，你只要掌握好度就好。还有就是一种泡辣椒。泡辣椒的话能够去腥提鲜，像我们四川的一些鱼香肉丝啊，炒一些鸭肠啊那种下水都会用到泡辣椒，因为它提鲜。再一个呢，它呢有一定的益生菌，对调节肠道有一定的好处。但是它腌制的话，随着腌制时间的增加营养素会有所降低，还有一个盐分太高，那有高血压的人群的话，这种腌辣椒泡辣椒，真的是要少吃啊，真的是要少吃。还有我们吃辣椒的时候有技巧的，因为吃辣椒你觉得特别辣，我怎么来缓解呢？我也看过很多的报道包括我自己就试过，你这时候喝点茶不管用啊，你吃块冰块含块冰也不管用，那怎么办呢？像我们四川吃麻辣火锅的时候标配是什么呢？豆奶，尤其是凉的豆奶，或者是北方如果没有这种的话，你可以喝点冰的牛奶呀或者冰淇淋啊等等，或者是您家有点稀饭放凉了，您放在那儿，它其实对我们缓解这个辣都有一定的益处。
主持人：好，那再次谢谢左医生。
你喜欢吃哪种辣椒呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
