افسوس که نامه جوانی طی شد، و آن تازه بهار زندگانی طی شد
آن مرغ که نام او بود شباب، فریاد که ندانم کی آمد کی شد!

Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose! That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close! The Nightingale that in the branches sang, Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!

Hi Guys! Episode 1 is about the Japanese words “iru/aru” and the animal counting system “hiki/tou”! Please note that this is not grammar, but everyday usage! Then, read Wikipedia for the correct description of mammals...;P

Epi 1 :日本語「いる・ある」「匹・頭」の使い分け！【Japanese Podcast】

En este capítulo hablo de la genial provincia de Cuenca. Una provincia de cuento de hadas, con campos enormes de girasoles, montañas y bosques infinitos, pueblitos encantadores y una ciudad, Cuenca, preciosa. También te explico una expresión relacionada con Cuenca.

Hablo en un español más tranquilo, pensado más para A2-B1 (el capítulo 107 fue muy complicado, nivel C1-C2, probablemente) pero tiene vocabulario muy interesante y sería muy útil para cualquier nivel porque es un español improvisado.

¿Te vienes a Cuenca?

When you liaise with someone, you meet up or connect with them, usually so you can work together on something cooperatively. For instance, you might liaise with another company to make sure that you don't accidentally launch new products at the same time. This word has it's roots in French so be careful with the pronunciation!

Understanding the “Laziness Factor”
When you’re feeling lazy about learning a language, it usually means you’re lacking motivation or genuine interest. Although research shows that motivation is a critical driver of engagement in learning, you have to be aware that not all motivation is the same. This is because there’s intrinsic motivation (which is interest that comes from inside you) and extrinsic motivation (which are rewards and incentives that come from outside you). To keep moving forward, it helps to know which type of motivation works best for you.

To Overcome Your Laziness, You Have To Find A Personal Connection With The Language You Are Learning.
If you’re struggling with motivation, tapping into internal interest can help. Studies show that people are more likely to engage in activities they find personally meaningful. Here are some ways to cultivate this type of interest when the thought of language learning makes you lazier by the second.
