¡Hola! ¿Cómo te va todo? Bienvenido a un nuevo episodio de mi pódcast. This week, I'm returning to general topics. Are you intersted in psychology? Are as fascinated as I am by personality? Then, you'll enjoy this episode with an introduction to personality, a historical overview of its theories and study, from the model of the four humours started in ancient Greece, the pseudosciences fo the 18th and 19th centuries, Freud's tripartite model and, finally, our present day, with the Big Five Personality Traits model, developed over several decades and the most empirically validated, studied and used by psychology researchers.

May 20, 2022 14. ESPAÑOL BÁSICO - Beginners (and intermediates) - Sonidos y pronunciación en español (PARTE 2)
¡Hola! ¿Qué tal estás? Have you just started learning Spanish or are you still a beginner? Then, this week's episode, WITH LOTS OF ENGLISH!, will be super useful.
Get cracking with pronunciation from the very beginning! Trust me. In this PART TWO you'll learn about the "ll", the "y", the "soft r" and the "rolled r", the "ch" and, of course, that letter so characteristically Spanish, the "ñ". Listen to PART ONE first and then continue here.
Don't miss it!
If you're an intermediate student you'll definitely benefit from brushing up your pronunciation as it's not something that it's given the importance it deserves. Even if you're at an advance level, it's never too bad revising. :)
