Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo, a Spanish tutor at italki, and today we're going to talk about some Colombian words that you may not find in your regular dictionary. Let's see what they mean!

1. Estrenar: Esta palabra significa "to use something for the first time". En Colombia, "estrenar" se usa mucho cuando compras algo nuevo, como ropa, zapatos o incluso un carro. Ejemplo: "Hoy voy a estrenar mi camiseta nueva."

2. Intenso: Aunque en inglés "intense" tiene un significado similar, en Colombia "intenso" no solo describe una persona o una situación fuerte, sino que también puede referirse a algo o alguien que es un poco demasiado, como una persona que está siempre hablando o buscando atención. "Mi amigo es muy intenso, no para de hablar."

3. Parcero: Esta es una palabra muy común en Colombia para referirse a un amigo cercano, como si dijieras "buddy" o "pal" en inglés. Es una manera muy cariñosa y amigable de dirigirse a alguien. Ejemplo: "¿Qué más, parcero? ¿Cómo vas?"

4. Enguayabado: Esta palabra describe a una persona que tiene resaca, generalmente después de haber bebido mucho alcohol. "Enguayabado" es el estado en el que estás al día siguiente de una fiesta. Ejemplo: "Ayer me fui de fiesta y hoy estoy enguayabado, no puedo con la vida."

And that's all for today. If you have questions or want to learn more about Colombian Spanish, don't hesitate to book a class with me. You can find more information in my profile. See you next time!

Your Personal Mission Statement (Personal Mission Statement or Mission Statement) is a roadmap, guiding you towards a life of purpose and fulfillment. But before you write it, take a deep dive into what truly matters. Here are some questions to spark self-discovery and craft a powerful Mission Statement:

Values:

What are my core values? (e.g., integrity, adventure, learning)
What principles are non-negotiable for me?
What actions bring me a sense of peace and satisfaction?
Passions and Strengths:

What activities make me lose track of time?
What skills and talents come naturally to me?
How can I leverage my strengths to make a positive impact?
Goals and Aspirations:

What do I want to achieve in different areas of life (career, relationships, personal growth)?
What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?
How can my goals contribute to a better world?
Impact and Contribution:

Who or what inspires me?
What problems or challenges do I care deeply about solving?
How can I empower others to live fulfilling lives?
Reflection and Growth:

What motivates me intrinsically (from within) versus extrinsically (external rewards)?
Am I living authentically, aligned with my values?
What are some challenges or fears that might hinder my progress?
Bonus prompts:

Imagine your ideal future self. What are they doing? Who are they with?
What would my role model's Mission Statement look like?
What advice would my future self give me today?
Remember:

There are no right or wrong answers. Be honest with yourself.
This is an ongoing exploration. Revisit your Mission Statement regularly as you evolve.
Your Mission Statement should inspire and motivate you.
By reflecting on these questions, you'll gain clarity on your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make. This self-awareness will empower you to craft a Mission Statement that serves as a guiding light on your life's journey.
