Hi everyone, and welcome back to Everyday English. Today’s episode is about personality. Are you more of an extrovert or an introvert? Or maybe you’re somewhere in between? Let’s find out!
Extroverts love socializing, meeting new people, and feel energized in busy environments. They enjoy group activities, thrive in social situations, and often express their thoughts openly. If you love parties, speaking in front of a crowd, and you make new friends easily, you might be an extrovert!
Introverts, on the other hand, prefer quiet time, deep conversations, and need space to recharge after socializing. They often enjoy reading, writing, or creative hobbies alone. If you feel drained after large social events and enjoy spending time in peaceful settings, you might be an introvert.
But here’s a fun fact—many people aren’t fully one or the other! Ambiverts have a mix of both traits. They can enjoy social events but also need alone time to recharge. If you like going out sometimes but also love staying home, you might be an ambivert! 
I think I’m more of an introvert—I love spending time in my garden and with my cats. What about you? Do you relate more to introverts or extroverts? Or are you somewhere in between?

みんなの日本語　Lesson 14ー②

En este episodio vas a conocer un lugar llamado “La Cumbrecita”, ubicado en la provincia argentina de Córdoba. Este podcast está recomendado para estudiantes de español con niveles intermedio y avanzado del idioma. Te recomiendo que sigas el audio junto con la transcripción, para facilitar el proceso de comprensión del contenido.

Al finalizar, podrás realizar los quizzes asociados a este material para evaluar tu comprensión.

¿POR QUÉ LA CUMBRECITA ES UN LUGAR ESPECIAL EN ARGENTINA?

Es un pueblo íntegramente peatonal (aunque con algunas excepciones), de estilo alpino, cuyas construcciones evocan el estilo de pueblos germánicos de hace siglos.
Si bien el senderismo es lo principal, una de las actividades más inusuales de las que se puede disfrutar son las largas excursiones a los fríos ríos subterráneos, aún poco explorados en su totalidad por los espeleólogos. Estos espacios, con tramos estrechos, escasa luz natural, rocas de varios tamaños y un agua helada que pone la piel de gallina, deben ser recorridos junto con guías profesionales.  
La Cumbrecita, además de ofrecer impresionantes cascadas, bosques, valles y senderos, presenta una variada oferta gastronómica, como parrillas, casas de té y cafeterías, cocina y repostería centroeuropea, pastas y bares. 

Para los amantes de la aventura, dentro de este pueblo hay un parque temático donde se pueden realizar saltos al vacío, arquería, tirolesa, rapel, escalada en palestra, arborismo, entre otros.

Este lugar turístico tiene unos pocos miles de habitantes locales y es ideal para quienes, además de disfrutar de la naturaleza y de la adrenalina, buscan pasar unas vacaciones tranquilas en un ambiente relajado y agradable.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy - To Fail or To Succeed?

A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation or belief that can influence your behaviors, thus causing the belief to come true.

The idea behind a self-fulfilling prophecy, also known as the Pygmalion effect, is that your belief about what will happen drives the actions that make that outcome ultimately come to pass.

Think a moment and imagine relating the above to your English development, what will it mean?

If you expect everything to go wrong, you might put in less effort or fail to take steps that could turn things around, which means that expecting the worst brings out the worst.

If you expect everything to go right you might be more eager, more enthusiastic and less worried!

Listen to the recording several times and allow the information to sink in and to influence you in it's own way.

Good luck and join my 1-1 trainings to become better and brighter at expressing yourself!

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy - To Fail or To Succeed?

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"
