Le manège magique
Dimanche, Bicotin, le petit mouton, est allé sur les manèges. Il ne voulait plus descendre de l’auto rouge. Il est rentré chez lui en pleurant.
La nuit, il est retourné à la fête. Il est monté dans l’auto rouge, mais elle s’est détachée du manège. Bicotin roulait sur la route à deux cents à l’heure. Malheur!
Il a raté un virage et boum !... dans un arbre ! Quel choc ! Bicotin a ouvert les yeux. Il était dans son lit. Il avait rêvé. Quel soulagement !

Which One is More Serious, 严格 or 严肃？

One of Coca-Cola's many taglines was: "You can't beat the real thing." The company was trying to say that even though there were a lot of similar drinks, none of them was as good as the "real" Coke.

You might not agree. But when it comes to art, researchers in the Netherlands think it's true — you can't beat the real thing.

A small study has found that real artworks stimulate the brain much more than posters or prints of the same work.

The Mauritshuis ("MAO-rits-haus") Museum in The Hague commissioned the study. The museum's best-known artwork is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Researchers showed this artwork and four others to 20 people. While they were looking at the paintings, their brain activity was measured using a brain scanner.

The participants were also asked to look at posters of those same five artworks. The researchers compared their brain activity when looking at the real artworks and when looking at the posters.

They found that when looking at the real artworks, participants had an emotional response that was 10 times stronger compared to when they were looking at the posters.

Martine Gosselink from the museum said this was an "enormous difference." She said they had thought that looking at the real thing might give people a richer experience, but now "we can really say that it is true."

The researchers said the real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is involved with self-reflection and personal memories.

Some have said that this research demonstrates the importance of museums and galleries for people of all ages.

Study: Real Art Stimulates Brain More than Posters

🌟 If you work with Spanish-speaking patients, nailing the right phrases is key to better care and connection. In this podcast, I break down a critical nuance most learners miss: why “Por favor + imperativo” (e.g., “Por favor, siéntese”) beats “Favor de + infinitivo” (e.g., “Favor de sentarse”)** in clinical settings. Spoiler: One sounds natural and builds trust—the other? Not so much.

Perfect for: Doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers with intermediate/advanced Spanish who want to:
✅ Avoid awkward phrasing that technically works but feels robotic.
✅ Communicate instructions clearly and compassionately.
✅ Boost credibility and rapport with Hispanic patients.

What’s Inside:
🔹 Real-life examples (with patient interactions!).
🔹 Simple swaps to make your Spanish sound fluent, not “textbook.”
🔹 Pro tips to avoid common mistakes even advanced speakers make.

Why This Matters: Small language tweaks = huge impact on patient trust. Don’t let clunky phrasing hold you back—sound like the skilled, caring pro you are!
