Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

There are four main reasons why students are afraid of making mistakes: 1) perfectionism; 2) judgment of others; 3) defeatist mentality; 4) temporary inability. Each one of these presents their own challenges and has to be tackled in a different way. On this episode, I talk about every one of them and suggest ways to remedy these problems. I speak in a very honest way, albeit respectful, and hope that no one takes offence. REMEMBER: if this episode is very difficult for you, try to listen to it more than once. Repetition is key to improving your listening ability and to enhance your understanding of any topic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerrian-possamai/message…
[PODCAST IN PORTUGUESE] Neste episódio, falarei sobre palavras que não escuto serem muito usadas por brasileiros, seja por desconhecimento do seu significado, seja por desuso. Percebi, à medida em que ia falando, que eu mesmo sou vítima da própria pobreza que critiquei: eu também utilizo muito o adjetivo "triste" no sentido figurado de "ruim", como é costumeiro na minha geração. Acabei por utilizar esse vocábulo inúmeras vezes durante este episódio. Isso acontece quando se escolhe uma palavra que expressa o que nos passa pela alma, ainda que seja uma palavra pobre... O esforço é justamente o de se tentar refinar um pouco esse uso. Espero que gostem do episódio e até o próximo! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerrian-possamai/message…
On my shortest episode yet, I gave some tips on how to learn a language. Basically the idea here is to stop making excuses for not being able to do it and just give it a try. Hopefully you'll find it useful. Keep having a nice day!

On this week's episode, I interviewed my friend Brad Hillas, who is a British-Australian teacher of English as a second language. He tells us about his studies, what made him decide to become an English teacher, his travels around the world on his bike and his experience of teaching English to kids in China. Due to low volume on Brad's microphone, this episode has no background music. If you wish to get in touch, please write to languagebits2020@gmail.com.

On this first episode regarding Legal English, I'll talk about the difference between terms of art and legalese, and react to some discussion points raised by the matter: should lawyers remove legal Latin expressions from their writing? Should they delete old-fashioned English words such as 'heretofore', 'hereby' and 'foregoing'? I speak from the perspective of lawyers whose first language is English (therefore, professionals who have been trained in the Common Law system) but also approach the matter from the point of view of lawyers whose first language is either Spanish or Portuguese (as such, professionals trained in the Romano-Germanic legal system). This episode was inspired by Study Unit 1 (Terms of Art and 'Legalese' in Legal English) from the book "Advanced Legal English" written by Natalie Canham and Catherine Mason and published by Global Legal English Ltd. in the United Kingdom in 2019.

Have you been studying English for a long time and the only adjectives you ever use are: good, bad, nice, OK, beautiful and great? If that's the case, you might want to listen to this episode, in which I'll suggest the use of some regular and strong adjectives to help you colour the way you speak or write and make your discourse more expressive. I also talk about the use of adverbs to modulate the meaning of your adjectives (to make them sound stronger or weaker). Hopefully, you'll find this highly effective or even utterly fantastic! If you would like to get in touch with me, please send an e-mail to languagebits2020@gmail.com.

[PODCAST IN PORTUGUESE] Neste primeiro episódio do podcast Language Bits em português, responderei à pergunta que dá nome ao episódio. Além disso, explicarei porque não acredito que exista uma variação linguística do português que seja "melhor" ou "mais correta" do que a outra, argumentando através de duas correntes opostas, a corrente colonialista e a corrente utilitarista ou colonialista ao reverso. Finalmente, falarei sobre as maiores diferenças entre as variantes vernaculares do português brasileiro e europeu em termos de vocabulário, pronúncia e sintaxe. Caso queira participar desta discussão, fazer perguntas, corrigir informações que não acredite estarem completas ou simplesmente entrar em contato, escreva para o e-mail languagebits2020@gmail.com.
