Episodio 5: Me gusta mi trabajo (I like my work/job)

This podcast you will know about some of the most common mistakes when learning Spanish. 

1. El verbo gustar. recordamos que, para conjugar este verbo es obligatorio poner los pronombres de objeto indirecto correspondientes a cada persona (me, te, le, nos, os, les).

 2. El género de los sustantivos. Seguramente, hayas aprendido que, como regla general, en español los nombres acabados en “o” son masculinos y los acabados en “a” son femeninos, ¿verdad? Pues bien, esto es así en la mayoría de los casos, pero hay excepciones y es ahí precisamente donde los estudiantes de español comenten errores.

 3. Verbos acordarse / recordar Es frecuente que los estudiantes de español confundan el verbo “acordarse” y el verbo “recordar” y mezclen sus estructuras. 

4. Los posesivos Expresiones como: “Me duele mi cabeza”; “Sergio se ha operado su nariz”; “Marta se ha roto su tobillo”, etc., no son correctas en español, ya que es impropio usar un posesivo (mi, su, etc.) con una parte del cuerpo en este tipo de producciones. En su lugar, lo adecuado es usar un artículo (la, el, etc.). 

5. “También” / “Tampoco” La diferencia entre usar uno u otro radica en que usaremos el adverbio “también” para indicar acuerdo en frases afirmativas y “tampoco” para indicar acuerdo en frases negativas. 

6. ¿Mayúsculas o minúsculas? En español, los nombres de los días de la semana, de los meses y de las estaciones del año se escriben en minúscula. Sin embargo, los estudiantes suelen escribirlos en mayúsculas debido, en la mayoría de los casos, a la interferencia de otras lenguas. Sin embargo, debes tener en cuenta que en algunos casos sí se escriben en mayúsculas.

If you watch ‘the glory' on Netflix, 
you can hear this expression in the first episode.
Yeon-jin’s daughter says this. 

우리 엄마는 주인공이 아니에요. (My mom is not a leading role)
우리 엄마는 부자니까요.(Because she’s rich)
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까.(Because the leading roles have always been poor)
You can hear ~~니까 in common. 

In Korean language, there are several expressions meaning “because”.
Some of You may already know about that. 
The basic thing is “~~이기 때문이에요”, “~이기 때문에”
If we replace the lines with ~~이기 때문에, 

우리 엄마는 부자이기 때문이에요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하기 때문에. 
But you can also use “~~니까” instead of ~~때문에

우리 엄마는 부자니까요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까. 

Here are other samples. 
사람이니까 실수할 수 있어요. Because you are a human, you can make a mistake.
더우니까 아이스크림을 먹고 싶어요. Because it’s hot, I want to have an Ice-cream.

Don’t forget this.

English Conversation/Dialogue

       找人帮忙的时候，一定要找那个真正有能力、能帮到点子上的人。就像我们学语言，每个学习者都像孙悟空一样，在这个特定的圈子里，施展着各种本事折腾过一阵子了，但是总有些难点、顽疾，就像悟空遇到的各类妖怪，打不掉也躲不过，这时候就要请菩萨帮忙了。有经验的老师就是这样的人。When looking for help, always look for someone who is really competent and can help with ideas. Just like our language learning, each learner is like Sun Wukong, who has been struggling with various skills for a while in this particular circle. However, there are always some difficulties and intractable diseases, just like all kinds of demons that The Monkey can't get rid of or avoid. At this time, we need to ask the Bodhisattva for help.  Experienced teachers are such people.
