En este episodio te hablo sobre cual pronombre es mejor usar, ¿Tu o usted?.. Y aunque ya sabemos que Tu esta relacionado con cercanía y Usted con formalidad, creo que para los hablantes nativos es algo cultural. Algunas regiones usan mas uno que otro. 
Cuéntame en los comentarios cual prefieres usar, ¿Tu o usted?

¡HOLA A TODOS!

En este episodio, vamos a explicar las diferencias entre estos tres términos. 

Hispanoamérica, Iberoamérica y Latinoamérica tienen un significado distinto y no engloban a los mismos países. Por eso, voy a aclarar cada uno de ellos en este podcast, qué área geográfica comprenden y qué idioma o idiomas se incluyen en cada uno. ES MUY IMPORTANTE SABER QUE NO SON SINÓNIMOS. 

HISPANOAMÉRICA: Nombre que recibe el conjunto de países americanos de lengua española. Quedan, excluidos de esta denominación los países de América en los que la lengua oficial no es el español. Su gentilicio, hispanoamericano/a, se refiere estrictamente a lo perteneciente o relativo a la América española y no incluye, por tanto, lo perteneciente o relativo a España. Ni España ni Brasil pertenecen a Hispanoamérica. 

IBEROAMÉRICA: Lo primero que tenemos que saber es que Iberia es el término que usaban los griegos para referirse a lo que hoy es la península ibérica (España + Portugal). Por eso el término “Iberoamérica” incluye a todos los países de América en los que se habla español o portugués. Su gentilicio, iberoamericano/a, se refiere normalmente solo a lo perteneciente o relativo a Iberoamérica, esto es, a los países americanos de lengua española y portuguesa.

AMÉRICA LATINA: se usa por primera vez en Francia a mediados del siglo XIX. Nombre que engloba el conjunto de países del continente americano en los que se hablan lenguas derivadas del latín (español, portugués y francés). Su gentilicio es latinoamericano/a.

Gracias por tu tiempo,

3. Offering a new product/service to reach new customers

Your business might be doing well, but there is no growth or development and there is a risk that your competitors might take away some of your customers. Innovation sometimes means developing a new product that targets a different market. Although video games were often played by boys, in 2006, video games giant Nintendo introduced the game console Nintendo Wii, successfully targeting girls and older customers with games like Cooking Mama and Brain Training.  

4. Changing the way you provide a service

By looking at the changes to the customer's lifestyle and needs, we sometimes realise that there might be better ways to serve them. Customers who do not have a lot of time might prefer to have their food or their shopping delivered to their homes, or they might like to do their banking online rather than in an actual bank.

Not all innovation will bring success to our businesses, but it can give us the opportunity to grow and learn more about what we do and what our customers might want.

What is it that keeping you buying from certain companies over others? Is it a price? A service or something special that you don't even know? Explore and let me know :)

To your success!!!
