Spanish Plum Cake... With NO Plums?

¡Hola! Welcome to Spanish from Zero, a podcast for people who are just starting the amazing journey that is learning Español.

Today’s practice is focused on two really useful questions that are gonna help you get unstuck when you don’t know a word.

• If you want to use a word but you don’t know it in Spanish, you can ask:
¿Cómo se dice ___ en español?
For example: How do you say “class” in Spanish?

• If you encounter a word in Spanish but you don’t what it means, you can ask:
¿Qué es ___?
For example: What’s “clase”?

So, in this episode I ask 12 of these questions for you to answer, but you’ll see that they’re all really easy:

¿Qué es Hola? 
¿Cómo se dice Thank you en español?
¿Qué es Lo siento?
¿Cómo se dice Hi en español? 
¿Qué es Gracias?
¿Cómo se dice Sorry en español?
¿Qué es Por favor?
¿Cómo se dice I don’t know en español?
¿Qué es De nada?
¿Cómo se dice Please en español?
¿Qué es No sé?
¿Cómo se dice You’re welcome en español?

And finally, let me leave you with this question: 
¿Cómo se dice clase en inglés?

Let me know if you have any questions, and subscribe to get the new episodes as soon as they come out. ¡Gracias por escuchar! :)

Mastering Confidence: How to look confident in an important meeting?

Confidence is essential for success in any high-stakes meeting. It’s not just about outward appearances; it’s deeply rooted in your self-image. Your self-image is the mental picture you hold of yourself – your skills, strengths, and values.

A negative self-image can manifest in weak communication, a hesitant tone, and unconfident body language. These traits can hinder your ability to express yourself effectively and project your worth in important meetings/ job interviews / IELTS speaking tests.

By working on your self-image, you can cultivate the inner confidence that translates into powerful communication. This involves recognizing your strengths, challenging negative self-talk, and building a positive belief system about your abilities.

My mindset coaching programs help individuals awaken their inner success potential. Through targeted training, I empower clients to overcome limiting beliefs and develop the confidence necessary to thrive in demanding situations.

Are you ready to unlock your full potential in meetings? Dive into this transformative journey and prepare for change!

It's summer. You're on the beach, by the pool or in the garden — it might be time to get your swimwear out!

But if you're talking about swimwear in English, there's a small problem: there are many different words for it.

"Swimwear" can be used for anything you put on to go in the water, whether you're male or female, so it's always a safe choice of word.

You might also hear "swimmers" used by people from Australia. This means the same thing, and it's always used with the "s" on the end.

In Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, swimwear will also often be called "togs."

And Australians also say "bathers." It's short for "bathing suit," which in British English usually refers to women's one-piece swimwear, but in American English can be anything you wear to swim in.

Anything you swim in can also be called a "swimsuit."

"One-piece" can be used on its own to refer to women's swimwear that's made from one piece of material, as opposed to a two-piece swimsuit like a bikini.

In the UK, the term "swimming costume" also tends to be used to talk about female swimwear. Some British and Australian English speakers might shorten this to "cozzie" — sometimes spelled "cossie," but said the same.

In the US or Britain, men going to the beach shouldn't forget their "swimming trunks." These are the casual shorts people often wear. You'll hear these called "board shorts" or "boardies" in Australia.

Men who are going for a serious swim might choose "Speedos."

Speedo is the name of a swimwear company, but the word is now used across the world for the tight briefs men might wear when they want to swim very fast.
