El Desierto de la Tatacoa, ubicado en el departamento del Huila, Colombia, es un fascinante paisaje árido que abarca más de 330 kilómetros cuadrados. Aunque se le conoce como desierto, es en realidad un bosque seco tropical con impresionantes formaciones rocosas en tonos rojos y grises. Este lugar, famoso por su belleza geológica y cielos despejados, es un paraíso para los amantes de la astronomía y la naturaleza, ofreciendo una experiencia única de desconexión y contemplación bajo un cielo estrellado.

If you thought social media was just a place for viral dances and cat photos, think again.

Popular influencers on apps like TikTok and YouTube have been boosting book sales with their videos.

And many are watched by millions.

The BookTok community on TikTok has been influential in encouraging users — who are often young people — to buy real books in bookshops.

But a survey from 2022 found that YouTube is actually the most popular place for young people to discover new books on social media.

The survey was done in November 2022 by Nielsen Book Data. It found that in the UK, 34% of people aged between 14 and 25 used YouTube — which is known for its BookTube community — for their book ideas.

TikTok was used by 32%, and 27% went to Instagram to find out about new books.

Some reports in recent years have said that young people are reading less than ever. But according to The Guardian, people in the 14 to 25 age group bought around 61 million books in the UK in 2022.

This was 18% of all books bought.

And it's not just social media where they're finding reading recommendations.

The most common way to discover new books is by talking to friends. Forty-one percent said they do this, while 35% find out about their books by visiting bookshops.

The survey also reported that fantasy action and fantasy adventure stories are the most popular among young people.

Survey: Young People Turn to Social Media for New Books

In the second episode of No Such Thing as a Synonym, we explore a common pair of adverbs: "nearly" and "almost".   

When you look up these words in a dictionary you’ll find they have virtually identical definitions. However, I want to let you in on a secret – the dictionary isn’t telling you the whole story.

In this episode, we’ll explore the pragmatic and subtle differences between the two words, including the difference between "nearly perfect" and "almost perfect" and why we don’t usually use "nearly" with emotions, as in "I felt nearly giddy with excitement".

Listen along to learn something new!

No Such Thing as a Synonym

02: Nearly & Almost

¡No te creo ni madres que ya es 2022! Wow, como vuela el tiempo.
Si quieres dar el siguiente paso en tu nivel de español y empezar a hablar más fluido y natural como nosotros lo hacemos, entonces este episodio es sin duda para ti. Alejandro y yo nos encargamos de traerte hasta la puerta de tu casa este episodio en el que aprenderás bastantes usos de la palabra "Madre", expresando emociones tales como: 
- Enojo
- Alegría
- Indiferencia
- Negación
- Y mucho más...

No voy a mentir, el uso de esta palabra (Madre), aunque es muy informal, es sin duda de lo más importante en el español mexicano. Es más importante que saber el nombre del presidente. Te garantizo que cuando termines de escuchar este episodio, tu español habrá pasado de algo académico sin uso y aburrido a algo más natural, nativo y super útil que oirás y/o usarás cuando visites México.
