TASK 22 - THE RICH DON’T PAY THEIR TAXES

Welcome ! ☀️
Because it’s summer — and to keep things feeling light and fun — this podcast channel aims to stay connected to French pronunciation. The episodes are short and straightforward, each focusing on how to pronounce essential French sounds that are tricky or commonly mispronounced.

Today's episode is about the pronunciation of the nasal sound “in”.
➡️ Read the transcript while listening, to link the sounds to the spelling.

Have fun !

Pronunciation of the nasal sound "en"

朋友们你们好！这一集我已经准备了一些自己非常喜欢的零食。它们是我学习汉语过程中的几条心得。我话就不多说了，我们边吃边学吧！


1）给自己定下小目标：
比如说：你每天都会学10分钟的汉语。听起来很短，才十分钟！不过如果你一年365天每天都全心全意地学10分钟，相信我，你会学到很多东西！

2）改变手机语言 ：
一开始，可能会有很多词语你看不懂，但是我们每天随时都要用手机，所以你慢慢会习惯的。

3）模仿本地人的发音和语气：
在看视频，看电视剧或者在听播客的时候，可以暂停一下，模仿他们说的每一句话。这是一个能帮助你练习自然口音的方法。我个人觉得特别有用！

4）自己录音：
学习时，可以录一下你说汉语的声音。这个方法有两个目的。首先，录完就可以自己听，然后跟母语者说的作比较。其次，学习了一段时间后，回头再听就可以感觉到你的进步，鼓励自己！

5）不要怕被笑话：
很多朋友担心自己说错，所以很少开口。你知道吗，你虽然会认识很多生词，但是如果你不说话，那些词你会很容易忘掉的。多多说话不但帮你说得更流利，而且也是学习和复习词语的一个好方式。

最后有一个小小的tip想跟你们分享一下。有不少朋友问了我，如果想轻松地跟中国朋友聊天那应该学习什么内容：我觉得只要是让你感兴趣的内容，你都可以去学。学自己喜欢的，这样会更有意思，学得更快！

希望我的那几个秘诀可以帮助大家提高自己的汉语水平，让你们学习的旅程更简单，更开心！
祝你们新的一年有新的开始，新的收获和成功！

Episodio 8. El legado árabe

Is Your Introduction Repelling Your Dream Job? Stop Begging and Start COMMANDING Attention!

Let’s be blunt: Your introduction is either a powerful weapon or a pathetic weakness. Are you sounding like a timid pushover, or a confident COMPETITION CRUSHER who’s about to steal the show?

Truth is, most job seekers are UTTERLY FORGETTABLE. They drone on with the same tired clichés, blending into the background like wallpaper.

What makes YOU different? What makes the hiring manager absolutely OBSESSED with having you on their team?

If you can’t answer that, you’re DEAD IN THE WATER.

This isn’t about “looking professional.” It’s about projecting POWER, AUTHORITY, and undeniable VALUE that leaves the competition in the dust.

In this recording, I’ll hand you the exact phrases you need to inject into your system NOW to transform your introduction into a high-impact sales pitch.

LISTEN UP: This isn’t for the faint of heart. This is about crafting an introduction that DEMANDS attention, builds instant rapport, and leaves the hiring manager begging you to accept the job.

Listen, drill these phrases, and build your own arsenal of words. Because in today’s cutthroat job market, you either DOMINATE or you DISAPPEAR.

Time to stop sounding like everyone else and start projecting the UNSTOPPABLE force you really are.

Are you ready to finally make the hiring person fall in love with you, or are you going to let another opportunity slip through your fingers? The choice is yours.

But let’s face it, you are here, because you want to win it all. No participation trophies, no second place…

Are you ready to have more people want to hire you?

Anatoly

(P.S. This recording is NOT for those who are satisfied with mediocrity. If you’re looking for fluff, go somewhere else. This is for serious action-takers who are ready to DOMINATE.)

"Con base en" es una expresión muy utilizada en la lengua española para afirmar, para sustentar, para fundamentar algo. Ejemplo: Con base en las investigaciones realizadas, escribí un artículo académico, es decir gracias a las investigaciones pude escribir este artículo. Esta expresión es muy utilizada por los hispanohablantes tanto en la oralidad como en la redacción.  Te invito a escuchar podcast y no dudes en escribir tus dudas o preguntas al respecto.
