I'm talking about a type of weather I like while using five senses technique and conditionals.

While recording myself, I've noticed that I pronounce ''a tent" like "a tend" or it was just 'atentand', funny.

So, stay tuned and have a good day.

In this episode, we explore how the throat chakra, or Vishuddha, supports language learning and how the act of learning a language can, in turn, heal the throat chakra. By practicing mindful speaking, reading aloud, and breath-focused articulation, learners stimulate the vagus nerve, which calms the parasympathetic nervous system, reduces amygdala hyperactivity, and lowers stress that contributes to GERD and acid reflux. The vibrations produced by the voice resonate in the throat and chest, easing tension and strengthening communication. This practice not only improves language fluency but also fosters emotional release, confidence, and physical healing, proving that your own voice is both a tool of expression and a pathway to wellness.

Spain has said it wants to introduce a tax of up to 100% on property purchases for anyone from outside the European Union (EU) who is not a resident in the country.

That could mean a lot of potential buyers from places like Asia, the UK and the US being priced out of the market.

And that's exactly the idea.

Many Spaniards have said that they can't afford to buy property because of the number of homes being bought by foreign buyers.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently shared the plan, saying that in 2023, 27,000 apartments and houses around Spain were bought by people from outside the EU.

He said these buyers didn't purchase the homes to live in, but to make money from them.

Spain is a popular vacation destination for people around the world, and many like to buy holiday homes for themselves.

But other buyers put their properties on the short-term rental market, using sites like Airbnb.

This has meant that there are fewer homes for local people to buy. The shortage of properties in popular areas has seen prices increase, with many locals unable to afford higher prices.

Sánchez also said he wants to increase taxes on landlords who rent their properties with companies like Airbnb.

However, the prime minister's plans may not become law; for now they're just ideas.

British people who spoke to the BBC after hearing the news weren't happy with these plans.

Michele Hayes from Manchester, who has been looking at properties in Spain, said: "How many working Spanish people want to live in holiday homes in these tourist areas anyway?"
