🗣️ Diálogo: El Chisme del Día ☕👀

Ana: ¡Amiga, no sabes lo que me enteré ayer!

Lucía: ¡No me digas! ¿Qué pasó? ¡Cuéntamelo todo!

Ana: Pues resulta que Laura y Daniel terminaron.

Lucía: ¡¿Qué?! Pero si hace una semana subieron una foto súper romántica en la playa.

Ana: Lo sé. Pero parece que esa foto fue solo para disimular.

Lucía: ¿Y tú cómo te enteraste?

Ana: Ayer me encontré a Laura en el supermercado y me lo contó todo.

Lucía: ¡Ay, no! ¿Y qué pasó? ¿Quién terminó con quién?

Ana: Parece que fue Daniel. Le dijo que necesitaba "espacio".

Lucía: Uy… eso de "necesito espacio" siempre significa otra cosa.

Ana: ¡Exacto! Y lo peor es que, según Laura, Daniel ya anda saliendo con alguien más.

Lucía: ¡¿En serio?! ¿Quién? ¿Alguien que conozcamos?

Ana: Sí… con Carolina, la del gimnasio.

Lucía: ¡No puede ser! ¿La misma Carolina que decía que Daniel "solo era un amigo"?

Ana: ¡Esa misma! Y al parecer, llevan semanas viéndose a escondidas.

Lucía: ¡Guau! Pobrecita Laura… debe estar destrozada.

Ana: Sí, me dijo que está triste, pero también aliviada. Dice que ya sospechaba algo.

Lucía: Ay, amiga, qué fuerte. El mundo es pequeño y las mentiras siempre se descubren.

Ana: Tal cual. Ahora solo falta ver cuánto les dura esa relación a Daniel y Carolina.

Lucía: ¡Uy, eso sí va a ser otro chisme para contar!

Hello guys. This is Kate Zh. In this episode I am gonna tell you about a strategy to remember new words forever.

I know this is a big problem for everyone when they are learning a new language. Now I am learning a new language which is Korean. To be honest I forgot how hard it is to study words in a language which you don’t know completely. I was completely astounded because I just couldn’t remember new words.

Here is a strategy I use to memorize these Korean words.

Step number 1: look at new words, translate them(if you are a beginner) or find the definition(if you are an old hand.

Step number 2: read the context with new words again. You should always see the context. This is why we easily remember the words from songs and movies.

Step number 3: read other sentences with these words. There are good websites which provide you with a lot of context.

Step number 4: ask your friend to read you the sentence and you have to add the new words.

Step number 5: Write your sentences using new words and talk to your friend or record your speech, again, yes, using new words.

That’s the strategy, guys, I hope it was useful. Come to my lessons if you want to make some progress in your English.

Here are some words from this podcast today:

SALESPERSON: Can I help you?
GLORIA: Yes, I’m looking for a sweater — in a size medium.
SALESPERSON: Let’s see … here’s a nice white one. What do 
you think?
GLORIA: I think I’d rather have it in blue.
SALESPERSON: OK … here’s blue, in a medium. Would you
like to try it on?
GLORIA: OK … yes, I love it. It fits perfectly. How much is it?
SALESPERSON: It’s $50. It will be $53, with tax.
GLORIA: Perfect! I’ll take it.

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I help you? or “May I help you?” is what a salesperson normally says to greet 
a customer.
• I’m looking for a here means “I don’t know exactly which one I want.”
• Size medium. Clothing usually comes in small, medium and large sizes. Some 
women’s clothing comes in number sizes, usually ranging from 2 to 16.
• Let’s see … An expression used when a person wants to think something over, to 
make a choice or decision, or to look for something.
• I’d rather have it in here means “I don’t like this exact one. I would prefer it in a 
different” color/size/material, etc.
• Would you like to …? is a polite way to ask “Do you want to …?”
• Try it on means to test the fit or appearance of a garment by putting it on. “Try on” is a 
separable phrasal verb, so the object “it” goes between “try” and “on.”
• How much is it? means “How much does it cost?” Notice that the main sentence 
stress falls on “is” in this question.
• I’ll take it means “I will buy it.”
