Mike Benjamin (www.youtube.com/@MikeBen) has dedicated the most recent years of his life to learning and teaching language. As an English speaker, he has learned so much Spanish (you can watch his progress on his YouTube channel) since 2020 that he now leads a group of Conversational Spanish students as their language coach. As a lover of both Hispanic cultures and also learning language, he chose to change his profession from Math teacher over to English (as a Foreign Language) teacher. Mike is an inspiration to others. In this interview, Mike discusses his journey from knowing little Spanish in early 2020 to having regular conversations and friendships with Latinos in several countries. Finalmente, detalla las tendencias que ha observado en su propio salón en cuanto a ciertos errores comunes en inglés que cometen sus estudiantes.

English, like Spanish, makes a distinction between the general act of cutting and the specific action of slicing. These words can confuse, however. Do you cut a slice, or slice a cut?

Don't forget to read our blog at NoTeRindasPodcast.us for the many expressions in English that use the word "cut," like "to make the cut" or "to be cut out for." Chécalos. Support the show…

In English, a "diner" can be the person eating or a special place to go eat, as well. This episode is about the place, not the person. Diners are highly present in American popular culture (see our blog for examples) and are the setting for key moments in movies and series from cinemas all the way to my sofa. In this episode, Gabo y Goyo discuss the difference between a restaurant and a diner, both in how they feel to the patron (their atmosphere or environment) and what kind of food we eat there. Do you know American English words like "biscuit" and "hash browns?" Y ¿qué tal la definición de <>? ¿Cuál es más como un <>... un Uber o taxi? Explicamos todo. Chécalo. Support the show…
