In this episode we talk about videogames in Canada and Japan...but mainly in Canada (we will talk more about videogames in Japan in the future). We discuss how Zach doesn't really like many Canadian or maybe games in general, PC vs console, how videogames are viewed, etc.

秧秧老师中文课堂实录

I want to speak English; this is the wrong goal!

Do you want to be more motivated to achieve your English-language-related goals but sometimes feel demotivated?

Do you feel the desire to achieve the goals faster but see yourself at a slow pace?

And do you believe there are methods to help you?

If you'll turn to psychology and look at solutions for your English language-related goals, you'll find something I am here to help you gain—the understanding of secondary gains!

In psychology, a secondary gain is when you benefit from a problem. It’s when you receive advantages from unwanted conditions, circumstances, or limitations. In other words, you benefit from not overcoming problems. 

It doesn’t mean the problem is positive, but the benefits of having the problem support you in keeping it rather than solving it.

Secondary gains are guides to help you get unstuck. They’re an invitation to understand the advantages you receive from retaining problems instead of solving them.

In simple terms, you crave attention and accidentally injure yourself. As a result, people care for you. You get what you want (attention), but at the expense of what you don’t want (injury).

Is it now clear to you? What are your secondary gains from not following through on your language learning goals that you benefit from?

This might be a game-changer for you in learning to communicate in English confidently and fluently.

Give it a go and allow yourself some space to think and resolve some uncommon issues. Good luck.

The Habits of Highly Effective English Communicators

I want to speak English - this is a wrong goal!

Главные торговые операции производились в городских рядах, в помещении, которое называлось амбаром. Вход в амбар был со двора, где всегда было сумрачно, пахло рогожами и стучали копытами по асфальту ломовые лошади. Дверь, очень скромная на вид, обитая железом, вела со двора в комнату с побуревшими от сырости, исписанными углем стенами и освещенную узким окном с железною решеткой, затем налево была другая комната, побольше и почище, с чугунною печью и двумя столами, но тоже с острожным окном: это — контора, и уж отсюда узкая каменная лестница вела во второй этаж, где находилось главное помещение. Это была довольно большая комната, но, благодаря постоянным сумеркам, низкому потолку и тесноте от ящиков, тюков и снующих людей, она производила на свежего человека такое же невзрачное впечатление, как обе нижние. Наверху и также в конторе на полках лежал товар в кипах, пачках и бумажных коробках, в расположении его не было видно ни порядка, ни красоты, и если бы там и сям из бумажных свертков сквозь дыры не выглядывали то пунцовые нити, то кисть, то конец бахромы, то сразу нельзя было бы догадаться, чем здесь торгуют. И при взгляде на эти помятые бумажные свертки и коробки не верилось, что на таких пустяках выручают миллионы и что тут, в амбаре, каждый день бывают заняты делом пятьдесят человек, не считая покупателей.
