#137 「黄色い声援」「赤の他人」「腹黒い」？ The Colors of Japanese Expressions

Have you ever said something in English… and someone responds:

“Sorry, can you repeat that?”

Even though your English is strong.

You know the vocabulary.
You understand conversations.
You use English at work every day.

So why do communication breakdowns still happen?

In this episode of the Own Your Speech Podcast, we explore one of the most common frustrations experienced by advanced English speakers: being asked to repeat yourself.

You’ll learn why the issue often has nothing to do with grammar or vocabulary, and how small speech patterns can affect clarity in conversation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The three key factors that influence speech clarity
• Why pronunciation patterns from your first language carry into English
• How rhythm and word stress affect listener understanding
• Why speech is a motor skill, not just a language skill
• How targeted practice can retrain speech patterns

You’ll also hear a science based tip explaining how the brain stores speech movements and why repetition is essential for lasting pronunciation change.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated when people ask you to repeat yourself, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and what you can do about it.

Suí jī yìng biàn (to adjust one’s approach according to the actual situation). Sun Tzu believed that 
好的将军如果不懂得变化，总是坚持以前的作战计划，他有再好的条件也不能赢。
a competent general who fails to adapt and rigidly adheres to pre-set battle plans cannot achieve victory, no matter how favorable his conditions are.
举个例子，一个老板开了一家糖果店，他发现有游客到他的店里买糖果，他就把糖果制作成小包装。游客见到精美的礼盒，就忍不住多买几份，于是老板赚了很多钱。
Take an example: a shopkeeper ran a candy store. When he noticed that tourists were visiting his shop to buy candies, he repackaged the candies into small, exquisite gift boxes. Seeing these fancy boxes, the tourists couldn’t help buying several more portions, and the shopkeeper made a handsome profit.

Charities: good or bad?
The number of charities in the UK is enormous, with more than 600 registered cancer charities alone, and more than 200 charities for homeless people in London. Most of these charities depend on donations to raise money, and often on volunteers  to do the work. While the passion of so many people who want to help is wonderful, this situation is not ideal. More and more charities are now doing similar work and competing with each other for money. As a consequence, they are forced to spend more on marketing, rather than actually helping people. This means some people are losing confidence in charities and giving them Less money. What should society do about this?

Episode 22 Tee und Kaffee (A1-B1)

Después del primer vuelo registrado en México por Alberto Braniff el 8 enero 1910 efectuado en Balbuena, Cd. Méx. a bordo de un avión biplaza Voisin y del vuelo realizado por Don Francisco I. Madero, el 30 de noviembre de 1911, se confirma la utilidad tanto civil como militar del aeroplano; en 1912 se autoriza que 5 oficiales estudien becados en los Estados Unidos la carrera de Piloto Aviador.

Lo anterior se confirmó al utilizar aeronaves para reconocimientos aéreos y bombardeos durante la Revolución Mexicana. Sobresale la participación el 14 de abril de 1914 en Topolobampo, Sinaloa, cuando el Capitán 1/o. Piloto Aviador Gustavo Adolfo Salinas Camiña, acompañado por el Mecánico Naval Teodoro Madariaga, realizó el primer bombardeo aeronaval en el mundo. 
Venustiano Carranza, Primer Jefe del Ejército Constitucionalista, al confirmar las enormes posibilidades de la aviación en campaña, expidió, el 5 de febrero de 1915, el acuerdo mediante el cual se creó el arma de Aviación Militar, génesis de la Fuerza Aérea Mexicana, designando como jefe de la misma al Mayor de Estado Mayor Alberto Leopoldo Salinas Carranza; quien al mismo tiempo, deja de pertenecer al Arma de Caballería para causar alta en el escalafón del Ejército Constitucionalista, como Piloto Aviador Militar.

El escaso rendimiento obtenido con los motores y hélices importados, durante su empleo en el altiplano de México, originó la necesidad de contar con tecnología propia que permitiera el desarrollo y progreso de la aviación nacional. El 15 de noviembre de 1915, se inauguraron oficialmente los "Talleres Nacionales de Construcciones Aeronáuticas" para la producción de aviones, motores y hélices en nuestro país, constituyendo un motivo de orgullo por emplear exclusivamente tecnología mexicana.
