    Ep.16 Deja que el viaje te sorprenda / Wendy Coulson

    Ep.16 Deja que el viaje te sorprenda / Wendy Coulson

    En este episodio entrevisté a Wendy Coulson, Maestra norteamericana de Lingüística y Enseñanza del Idioma Inglés.

    Desde niña, Wendy, se sintió muy atraída por otras culturas, lo que más adelante la convertiría en una apasionada viajera del mundo.

    Con más de 20 años de experiencia como docente en América Latina, Asía y Medio Oriente y haber viajado por estudios, trabajo y placer por casi todo el mundo.

    Se ha especializado en desarrollo curricular y talleres para la enseñanza del Inglés a través del juego, así como la creación de materiales educativos en temas como la enseñanza de idiomas, salud pública, paz, educación, medio ambiente y empoderamiento de niñas y jóvenes. 

    Normalmente ella radica con su esposo mexicano en San Miguel de Allende, México.

    Pero actualmente se encuentra trabajando en Uzbekistán, el país más lejano, hasta el momento, donde he entrevistado a alguien para este podcast.

    En este episodio platicamos sobre:

    -algunas de sus aventuras de viaje.
    -de no tener miedo a equivocarte cuando estás practicando un idioma nuevo. 
    -sobre su pasión por la enseñanza a través del juego. 
    -y sobre su gran consejo: "Déjate sorprender con las cosas inesperadas que no puedes planear en un viaje".

    Episodio en idioma español, porque claro, español es uno de los 5 Idiomas que Wendy domina.

    Salud Mental en Peru

    Salud Mental en Peru

    Barrington Hwang, MD, y Eric Zabriskie, MD, conversan sobre el sistema peruano de salud mental con Jose Alberto Arriola Vigo, MD, MPH, un profesor asistente de psiquiatría en University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Específicamente, el doctor Arriola Vigo nos cuenta su camino a la especialidad de psiquiatría, las diferencias entre Perú y los Estados Unidos, y del sistema de salud mental en Perú. La versión en idioma español e inglés podrían tener pequeñas diferencias.

    Practicando los verbos irregulares: BLOW, GROW, KNOW y THROW

    Practicando los verbos irregulares: BLOW, GROW, KNOW y THROW

    En este episodio, Samuel y yo hablamos sobre cómo aprenderse los verbos irregulares a través de grupos de verbos que tienen el mismo patrón. Utilizamos como ejemplo los verbos: BLOW, KNOW, GROW y THROW. 

    Se trata de practicar con frases cortas y yendo del español al inglés, ya que es como funciona tu cerebro cuando intentas hablar inglés y aún no tienes un nivel alto; primero piensas en español y luego intentas decirlo en inglés. 

    Hablamos también de una manera de mejorar la pronunciación y entonación en inglés haciendo "shadow reading". Puedes escuchar un texto con audio, tipo "Voice of America" y repetir todas las frases una y otra vez para que el acento y la entonación te salga mejor.

    Hablamos de cómo en el inglés predomina el sonido de las consonantes, sobre las vocales. Lo que es lo contrario de lo que ocurre en español.  Si te fijas "los guiris" (extranjeros, sobre todo de habla inglesa) pronuncian el español haciendo precisamente eso, dando más importancia a la consonante que a la vocal. Eso es precisamente lo que tú tienes que hacer.

    There’s a bit of rhyming slang outside London in the UK, but it’s almost not known at all outside its own environment. For example:

    BELFAST-
    corn beef = “deef” = deaf ('mutton' or 'Mutt and Jeff' = 'deaf' in cockney rhyming slang)

    tatie bread = dead (tatie bread is potato bread)

    mince pies = eyes

    a wee duke = a quick look


    NEWCASTLE-
    a deek = a quick peek

    MANCHESTER-
    Newtons = teeth (from “Newton Heath”, rhymes with “teeth”). In London they use 'Hampstead Heath' as rhyming slang for teeth.

    Hi, Reza and Craig. I am from Peru, but at the moment I am living in Australia.
    My native language is Spanish and now I am learning English and it's interesting.
    Thank you for your help, I listen to your podcasts very often and I like how you explain all of the subjects.

    Questions:

    How old were you when you first voted? - Reza was in his early 20s. Craig has never voted. (to abstain - abstenerse)

    What characteristics should a good politician have? - Craig: honesty, motivating, idealistic, believe in the common good, serve the public
    Reza: honesty, to keep their word.

    Have your political views changed much during your lifetime? Reza: No, but he is more understanding these days. He would never let his political views get in the way of friendship.
    Craig used to be very left wing. In recent years he's moved a little bit more to the right.
    to strike - hacer huelga

    Should voting be compulsory? Reza used to think so, but now he thinks people shouldn't be made to vote.

    (Voting is compulsory in 22 states worldwide - 12 Latin American countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Congo, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Greece, Honduras, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Mexico, Nauru (the smallest state in the South Pacific), Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Singapore, Thailand, Uruguay)

    Would you vote for an actor or actress who campaigns for a government position? Reza would (if they were politically aware)

    Do most people really care who runs the country as long as they have a high standard of living?

    I'm going to lay my cards on the table - voy a mojarme (to lay your cards on the table - poner las cartas sobre la mesa)
    Reza feels strongly that 65 people should not own half of the world's wealth. He thinks something should be done about that.

    Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton? - Neither Reza nor Craig will be hoping that Donald Trump wins the US election.

    011 - Los plurales

    011 - Los plurales

    El proceso de crear formas plurales no sigue una sola regla fija en el inglés. Tampoco en español, pues a veces se añade -s como en la palabra casas o a veces se añade -es como en la palabra paredes. En inglés tenemos unas reglas fijas para crear las formas plurales pero también existen excepciones.

    Esta lección habla de estos casos para dar la mayoría de las palabras en inglés. Escucha esta lección y déjanos comentario en nuestra página:
