Have you ever said something in English… and someone responds:

“Sorry, can you repeat that?”

Even though your English is strong.

You know the vocabulary.
You understand conversations.
You use English at work every day.

So why do communication breakdowns still happen?

In this episode of the Own Your Speech Podcast, we explore one of the most common frustrations experienced by advanced English speakers: being asked to repeat yourself.

You’ll learn why the issue often has nothing to do with grammar or vocabulary, and how small speech patterns can affect clarity in conversation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The three key factors that influence speech clarity
• Why pronunciation patterns from your first language carry into English
• How rhythm and word stress affect listener understanding
• Why speech is a motor skill, not just a language skill
• How targeted practice can retrain speech patterns

You’ll also hear a science based tip explaining how the brain stores speech movements and why repetition is essential for lasting pronunciation change.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated when people ask you to repeat yourself, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and what you can do about it.

I feel Christmas and New Year's holiday in Japan and north America is opposite. In Japan, Christmas is more like party time, festival feeling, and new years holiday is more holy and family gathering feeling. 
日本のクリスマスとお正月。北米と逆だなと思います。日本はクリスマスはパーティーとかサンタクロースのイメージ。お正月がもう少し神聖な雰囲気で家族でも集まります。

El piloncillo además de ser un básico en la cocina mexicana, aporta múltiples beneficios a la salud de quien lo consume.

Se trata de un dulce ampliamente utilizado en la gastronomía de varios países latinoamericanos, así como en la India, Laos y Pakistán. Su llegada a México se remonta a la época de la Conquista y la Colonia. El piloncillo tiene como base de su preparación el jarabe o jugo no destilado de la caña de azúcar.

El piloncillo o “chancaca” palabra derivada de chiancaca, de origen náhuatl , significa «azúcar morena». Con la introducción del cultivo de la caña de azúcar durante la época de la Colonia, llegaron también técnicas y elementos necesarios para su producción. Se les conocía como trapiches o molinos a los artefactos con los que se elaboraba este producto.

Este endulzante 100% natural se obtiene al hervir el jugo de la caña de azúcar. La melaza resultante se solidifica en moldes o se envuelve en hojas de palma, esta última es su presentación más tradicional. Para obtener solamente una tonelada de piloncillo se necesitan aproximadamente diez toneladas de caña de azúcar.

En México el principal productor de piloncillo es el estado de San Luis Potosí, que cada año contribuye con aproximadamente 60% de la producción nacional. 


El proceso de elaboración del piloncillo suele variar según la región y las costumbres. Sin embargo, la forma de preparación tradicional generalmente es la siguiente:


Exprimir la caña de azúcar en trapiches para obtener el jugo.
El bagazo sobrante se deja secar y se utiliza para encender el horno.
El jugo de la caña se calienta en el horno hasta alcanzar su punto de ebullición.
Después es colocado en una revolvedora, que al no parar de girar, hace que el jugo de caña se vuelva espeso.
Posteriormente se vacía en moldes de madera con forma de cono.
