CHINESE STORY中文故事

拔苗助长

Hablo de la celebración del amigo secreto, una celebración que se hace hace varias dècadas en Colombia es parte de las celebraciones del Día del Amor y la Amistad, culturalmente importante para los colombianos. Tiempos verbales: presente, tiempos del pasado: pretèrito indefinido, perfecto e imperfecto; pretèrito imperfecto de subjuntivo.

Viviendo entre dos lenguas 

Celebración del amigo secreto

What is holding you back from your success?

Did it ever cross your mind that your mind (or what you allow to 'occur' in your mind) is the very reason you either succeed or fail?

Imagine all day long you'll have all kinds of positive thoughts in your head, what will the result be? You'll feel good, you'll smile more, you'll have your back straight, right?

How about a day when your mind is filled with negativity? Anxiety? Worries? It seems that everything is falling apart, right?

Well, you have the key and I'll be sharing it with you on the recording.

Jump right into it and feeeeeeeel good!!!

What is holding you back from your success?

El lenguaje evoluciona y cambia. Muchas veces los responsables de estos cambios son los jóvenes, ellos crean y usan palabras y conceptos que para las personas de más edad son totalmente desconocidas, hasta que se popularizan, y se aceptan como las palabras o la jerga de moda.

En este episodio te voy a explicar algunos de los términos que los jóvenes de hoy en día usan para que cuando los escuches no te quedes con cara de no tener ni idea de lo que están diciendo.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes el episodio. No te olvides después de escucharlo de dejar una pequeña valoración ni de decirme qué piensas:

-¿has escuchado estos conceptos antes? ¿Los usas?

-¿en tu país los jóvenes también tiene un “idioma” propio?
