Hi, and welcome back to Everyday English with Teacher Alyse! I’m so happy you’re here. Today, we’re going to talk about a small but powerful change you can make in your daily conversations—replacing the word sorry with thank you.
Many English learners, and even native speakers, use "sorry" too often. While saying sorry is important when you truly make a mistake, overusing it can make you seem less confident and even unnecessary in some situations. Instead, shifting to thank you can make your communication more positive and empowering.
Let’s go through some common situations where you might be tempted to say "sorry" and how to rephrase them in a more confident and appreciative way.
Instead of saying: “I’m sorry I’m late.”
➝ Say: “Thank you for waiting for me.”
→ Why? This shift acknowledges the other person’s patience rather than focusing on your mistake. It creates a more positive tone.
.............................................................................................................................................................................

Why Is It Important to Limit "Sorry"?
Using "sorry" too often can make you seem less confident and even weaken your message. It can also make an issue seem bigger than it actually is. Of course, when you truly make a mistake, a sincere apology is important. But by replacing unnecessary "sorrys" with "thank yous," you turn negative situations into positive interactions.

Replace "Sorry" with "Thank You"

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.

LA COCHINITA PIBIL.

En la época prehispánica, la cochinita pibil era un platillo que se degustaba cada 2 de noviembre durante el llamado “Hanal Pixan” -comida de las almas-. Este guiso se elaboraba con faisán, jabalí o venado y se cocía en el pib u “horno de tierra”.

Después, durante la Colonia, la carne de esos animales fue reemplazada por la de cerdo. Pero no solo la carne fue lo que cambió, también los hornos de tierra pues fueron sustituidos poco a poco por ollas de vapor u hornos normales.

Ingredientes (para 10 o 12 personas)
2 hojas de plátano pasadas por la flama (para ablandarlas)
1½ kilo de pierna de puerco
½ kilo de lomo de puerco con costilla
200 gramos de recado de achiote (se puede usar el que se vende comercialmente)
1 taza de jugo de naranja agria o mitad de vinagre y mitad de jugo de naranja dulce
¼ de cucharadita de comino en polvo
1 cucharadita de orégano seco
½ cucharadita de pimienta negra en polvo
½ cucharadita de canela en polvo
5 pimientas gordas toscamente molida
3 dientes de ajo exprimido
½ cucharadita de chile piquín
Sal al gusto
125 gramos de manteca de cerdo
1 cucharadita de pimienta blanca en polvo

Salsa para acompañarla:
8 rabanitos muy bien lavados y finamente picados
1 cebolla morada chica picada muy finamente
4 chiles habaneros picados muy finamente
½ taza de cilantro picado muy finamente
1 taza de jugo de naranja agria o de vinagre
Sal al gusto
Preparación
Primero, forra una charola de horno con las hojas de plátano, y deja que éstas sobresalgan para poder envolver la cochinita.
Después coloca la carne sobre las mismas y disuelve el achiote en la naranja agria.
Posteriormente, añade las especias y con esto baña la carne. Deja marinar cuando menos ocho horas o de un día para otro en el refrigerador.
Baña entonces con la manteca derretida, luego envuelve muy bien en las hojas de plátano, tapa con papel de aluminio y hornea en un horno precalentado a 175º C durante 1½ horas, o hasta que la carne esté tan suave que casi se ...
