Ep. 1 - Hit the Books

Lesson 1: Build a Study Habit as Solid as the Titanic’s Hull
The Titanic’s hull was state-of-the-art, yet it wasn’t indestructible. Similarly, your study habits need to be strong, but they don’t have to be perfect. Start small—just like the shipbuilders who started with a blueprint. Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to learning your language. Research shows that consistent practice, even in small increments, leads to long-term success.
Your daily routine is your hull. If it’s solid, you’ll keep floating, even when you hit minor obstacles.

Lesson 2: Spot the Icebergs Before They Hit
The Titanic didn’t see the iceberg until it was too late. When it comes to studying, your "icebergs" are distractions, unrealistic expectations, and burnout. Be mindful of these obstacles before they derail you. Set realistic goals, like learning five new words a day instead of fifty.
Think of distractions like incoming icebergs on the horizon—acknowledge them, steer clear, and keep your focus steady.

Lesson 3: Lifeboats Are Non-Negotiable
The Titanic’s lack of lifeboats was its greatest tragedy. In language learning, lifeboats represent backup plans for when life gets overwhelming. Too tired to study grammar? Watch a short video in your target language instead. Feeling stuck on vocabulary? Try a language game instead of a workbook.
Lifeboats are your Plan B—your way to keep moving forward even when your primary routine is disrupted.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.


ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DEL TIEMPO LIBRE.


Antes de comenzar la lectura.


1. ¿Cuando tienes el tiempo libre normalmente que haces?



Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.


En vacaciones, el fin de semana o después del trabajo tienes tiempo libre para hacer ejercicio, llevar un pasatiempo o salir a divertirte.

Si eres deportista y te gusta el agua puedes nadar, si te gusta la nieve puedes esquiar. Si no dispones de mucho tiempo puedes correr o ir en bicicleta.

Hay quien prefiere quedarse en casa a ver la televisión, jugar videojuegos o navegar en Internet. Otras actividades para hacer dentro de casa cuando llueve o hace mucho frío son escuchar tu música favorita, leer un buen libro o aprender a tocar un instrumento. Puedes aprovechar tu tiempo libre para estudiar.

Si el tiempo es bueno, tal vez quieras ir de compras, salir con amigos a divertirse o pasar tiempo con la familia en algún lugar divertido para todos, como un parque de diversiones, el teatro o el cine. Aprovechar el tiempo libre es importante para tener una vida feliz.
