¿Es posible criar hijos bilingües sin aunque tú no lo seas? Pues sí. Y no lo digo yo, lo dice la ciencia. Este episodio responde a muchas preguntas que tenemos como padres sobre la educación de nuestros hijos en cuanto a la enseñanza de idiomas. ¿Se van a confundir si les exponemos al inglés desde muy pequeños? ¿Qué podemos hacer desde hoy mismo para que puedan desarrollar esta habilidad? ¿Me tengo que dejar todo el sueldo en clases? ¿En qué deberíamos enfocarnos? etc.+ Te cuento mi filosofía sobre cómo hacer que disfruten del inglés y que no sea una experiencia estresante, tanto para ellos como para ti.
Noticias en inglés para practicar. Cómo Trump esta arrinconando a los Latinos y por qué los jóvenes están tan desilusionados con todo. I hope you enjoy this type of episode, because I think it's really imporant (and interesting) to talk about these kinds of things. This isn't a political podcast, as you know, but sometimes we need to talk about the world to try to make sense of it. Tell me if you like this type of episode and I'll be sure to include them more often. Thanks for listening, and for all of your support and kind messages . 🫶DaneP.S: I made a mistake in the recording, this is actually episode 28 of season 2.
Hoy hablo con mi amigo Coco Montes (@coco.montes), uno de los chefs más talentosos de España y creador de PABÚ, un restaurante que hace poco recibió su primera estrella Michelin 🌟Hablamos sobre el proceso secreto de evaluación de la guía Michelin y si realmente es como lo pintan en las pelis o en los programas de cocina. También sobre por qué ser chef puede ser una experiencia tan solitaria, qué es lo que de verdad separa a un chef con estrella Michelin de una persona normal, y la filosofía de Coco sobre la alta cocina, la hospitalidad y si la industria está fallando a la gente común.Coco isn’t just a great chef — he’s also a perfect example of how having a non-native accent but speaking English at a high level can sound incredible. His comfort with the language and his natural communication style allow him to express his ideas clearly and be himself — which is the whole point. He doesn’t stress about pronunciation or trying to sound “more native.” He speaks calmly, chooses his words carefully, and gets his message across beautifully. I think there’s really something to that.Let me know what you think about this type of episode, and if there’s anything I can do to make it an even richer experience.As always, thanks for watching (or listening) 🙌
Se podría decir que las preposiciones son una de las frustraciones más grandes para la gente.

Este episodio de English with Dane propone una manera más manejable y eficiente para lidiar con las preposiciones para que te cueste menos navegarlas .
This episode is NOT about debunking (proving wrong) any particular theories. It's about understanding why some of us are susceptible to adopting these theories. Is it something inside us? Is it mostly to do (tiene que ver) with external factors? Is it about the current state of the world? This article read-along is about trying to find answers to these questions and shed light on (clarify) why we are so quick to believe things that already fit our vision of the world. Let me know what you think.Episode TranscriptArticle

In this episode, we’ll break down 5 of the most common biases (the sneaky mental shortcuts that mess with your decisions) and 3 everyday fallacies (the bad arguments we fall for without realizing).

The story behind the dark origin of "Don't drink the Kool-Aid".In the 1950s a preacher named Jim Jones starts a cult in Indiana. He envisions a multiracial, tight-knit* community where everyone succeeds. Sounds good, right? Well, in theory. Things take a turn for the worse and the man who once preached equality and respect suddenly thinks he's the voice of God, and he must be worshipped. What started out as a search for a utopia, ends in mass tragedy. *Tight-knit = muy unido/estrecho, hablando sobre grupos de personas.TRANSCRIPTOriginal Article
