Did you know that we can use 'Not + a Superlative' to convey the opposite. In this episode, we discuss this commonly used expression in English.

Listen to the episode and analyse the following examples:
That's not the most efficient way to do it.
That's not the most original idea.
That's not the worst movie I've ever seen.

Don't forget to make your own examples and post them in the Comments Section to grasp this concept fully.

نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be

Hafiz - نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

What is more important: Psychology over knowledge. Epsode 392.

It's quite clear on the knowledge part but why psychology and it's importance
for any language learners?!

Today's podcast is only few minutes but it is to give you something to chew on, a birds eye view on a topic.

Psychology plays a crucial role in language learning success, impacting motivation, learning strategies, and overall proficiency. Here’s why:

1. Motivation and Self-Efficacy
2. Learning Strategies and Cognitive Processes
3. Emotional and Social Factors:
4. Error Correction and Feedback:

In summary, integrating psychological principles into language learning enhances motivation, optimizes learning strategies, manages emotional challenges, and ultimately leads to greater proficiency and success. 

It’s not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding the learner’s mind and tailoring the learning process accordingly. Therefore, in my 1-1 training classes I focus on this the majority of the time and I've completed over 20 thousand coaching calls from managers to vice presidents of huge corporations and they tell me - it works!

Come and try for yourself!
