HSK 5 & Superior Soundscapes：为什么我们不喜欢接电话了？

Привет! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко!». De cette petite histoire, vous apprenez le nomы des vêtements différents et un proverbe russe. J’utilise des mots dans le cas génitif et verbes imparfaits et parfaits.
Катя любит красиво и модно одеваться. Сегодня Катя открыла шкаф и подумала: «Мне нужна новая одежда!». В шкафу было много платьев, несколько джинсов, восемь свитеров, двадцать одна блузка и три пальто… Все женщины знают эту ситуацию: шкаф полный, а надеть нечего. Катя пошла в магазин. Там она долго выбирала, что лучше купить. И Катя купила красивый шерстяной шарф и тёплые перчатки.  Это был удачный шоппинг!

Шкаф полный, а надеть нечего! - Une armoire pleine mais rien à mettre!
модно одеваться/быть одетой модно - avoir des vêtements à la mode
носить модную одежду - porter les vêtements à la mode 
открывать/открыть – ouvrir
думать/подумать – penser
выбирать/выбрать - choisir
много – beaucoup
несколько – plusieurs
платье – une robe 
джинсы -  un jean
блузка - un chemisier
пальто - un manteau
шерстяной шарф - un foulard en laine 
перчатки  - des gants

По-русски легко!

Короткие истории. 9. Когда нечего надеть.

AMIGOS SPANISH PODCAST

Algo muy grave va a suceder en este pueblo - Gabriel García Márquez

"Don’t just learn English. Learn how to own the room — in English."

Because in high-stakes moments, grammar won’t save you.
Your voice, your presence, your story — that’s what wins the job, the respect, the opportunity.

In this 2-minute audio, I break the myth that grammar is your main problem.
Spoiler: under pressure, grammar disappears — and your state takes over.

If your voice shakes or sounds flat in interviews or meetings, this episode is for you.

✅ Learn why “presence” matters more than perfection
✅ Try a simple self-check exercise

A Personal Mission Statement is a concise (usually 1-3 sentences) summary of your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make in life. It's your personal guiding principle, a compass that helps you navigate decisions and goals. Unlike a resume objective statement focusing on a specific job, a Personal Mission Statement is broader, encompassing your entire life journey.

Here's what a Personal Mission Statement typically captures:

Values: What principles are most important to you? (e.g., honesty, creativity, helping others)
Goals: What do you want to achieve in life? (e.g., build a strong family, make a positive difference in the world, achieve financial security)
Impact: How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave behind?
Crafting a Personal Mission Statement is a self-discovery process. Reflect on what motivates you, what brings you joy, and the kind of person you want to be. Here are some prompts to get you started:

What are my strengths and passions?
What kind of world do I want to contribute to?
What impact do I want to have on the lives of others?
Remember, a Personal Mission Statement is a living document. It can evolve as you grow and your priorities shift. Reviewing it regularly can help you stay focused and make choices aligned with your true north.

Here's an example of a Personal Mission Statement:

To use my creativity and passion for science to develop innovative solutions that address environmental challenges, leaving a sustainable future for generations to come. 
This statement highlights the core value of environmental responsibility, the goal of innovation, and the desired impact of a sustainable future.

Personal Mission Statement Explained - Episode 86

In this episode we are going to learn 【Greeting】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
