La profesora Aurelia os muestra dos sonidos muy difĂciles de diferenciar para la mayorĂa de hispanohablantes; el sonido "ee" largo y corto.
El sonido corto no existe en español y muchas palabras suenan igual, pero en realidad son diferentes; por ejemplo âsitâ y âseatâ ÂĄEsto puede llevar a una situaciĂłn incĂłmoda, ya que muchas personas podrĂan decir âbitchâ y âbeachâ de la misma manera!
Pequeñas mejoras en nuestra pronunciación es lo que marca la diferencia entre sonar como un hablante nativo de inglés y alguien que tiene dificultades para comunicarse bien.

The short sound doesnât exist in Spanish and many words sound the same but are actually different; for example âsitâand âseatâ. This can lead to social faux pas because many people say âbitchâ and âbeachâ in the same way!
Small improvements in our pronunciation is what makes the difference between sounding like a native English speaker and someone who struggles to communicate well.

Aprobar el examen de Cambridge B1 PET es posible. SĂ sĂ, y ademĂĄs sonreĂr un poco mĂĄs que la pobre niña inglesa de la foto. Studying is so boring!
«Oh my God, this is it!»
Thatâs what this little girl might be thinking, probably. O, en versiĂłn española del sur, como dirĂa mi abuela Antonia, «Madre mĂa del consueloâŠÂ».
An Irish grandmother would say «oh Lord..!».
Pero vamos, que se entiende, Âżno? Ponerse a estudiar para aprobar el examen de Cambridge B1 PET puede desmotivar a cualquiera, sobre todo si no es la primera vez que te presentas y hay alguna parte que se te resiste.
Eso es lo que le pasa a José, que mandó la consulta de hoy. En este episodio voy a intentar ayudarte a saber cómo aprobar de una vez este examen y estar 100% preparado para cualquier parte.
Letâs do this! đ
CĂłmo aprobar el examen de Cambridge B1 PET â Ideas mentioned in this podcastQuestion of the day: How to take the B1 exam? How to nail the four skills of the language and not only the speaking and the writing? From Jose who lives in Ceuta.
You need to be proud of being good at writing and speaking. It is a bit strange. Congratulations!
A potential problem that could be happening is that you donât have really good or advanced grammar and vocabulary and that is causing you problems with the Listening.
There are many people that speak a lot but donât use the appropriate structures for the level and so when theyâre listening or reading, it is difficult for them to recognize the B1 grammar and vocabulary.
There are people who are complete chatterboxes and they donât speak well. Quality over Quantity.
Listening has always been the hardest part for David too when he was learning English too because he lacked real world situations.
You need to have real world time with native speakers.
And also you need to concentrate!
Keep in mind the Daway Philosophy: give your brain a really strong reason, a survival reason!
Put yourself into real situations where you have no choice but to speak. This will be a strong motivation for you brain.
As for the reading, David reminds Daway Nation to go to episode 81 where he talks about reading resources and how to nail the reading.
The same principle applies to reading. You need to master B1 grammar and vocabulary, to recognize them. You need to study, to actively be aware of your weaknesses.
The problem might be that you are not consolidating those structures.
You also need to be familiar with the strategies and the type of exercises in the exam.
Finally, you need a system. For example, read one book a week, learn a new word and use that word in a real conversation. There are useful online applications that can help you with your listening.

Libros en inglés. Cómo aprender vocabulario leyendo. Voy a hacerte una confesión importante: hay mucha vida después del C2
Pues sĂ, esto es algo muy personal y sincero, y que pocos profesores te van a contar.
Incluso teniendo un nivel C2 certificado, habiendo vivido en el extranjero durante varios años, trabajado con ingleses, tener amigos nativos, etcâŠÂĄmi inglĂ©s escrito y hablado aĂșn necesita mejorar!
Y es que jamĂĄs vas a dejar de aprender vocabulario en un segundo idioma.
Siempre podrĂĄs expresarte con mĂĄs eficiencia, con las palabras exactas, con la misma riqueza que usarĂas en tu idioma materno, etc. Esto es algo que va para toda la vida.
De ahĂ que yo siempre te recomiende hacer el inglĂ©s parte de tu vida (por amigos, trabajo, viajes, pareja, lo que sea). Si no forma parte de tu dĂa a dĂa, no llegarĂĄs a ese nivel de excelencia que necesitas para dar una charla o ponencia en inglĂ©s sobre tu mĂĄster, trabajar de cara al pĂșblico con proveedores americanos, ser abogada en Londres y demĂĄs.
Hace falta aprender mucho vocabulario, pero no todo estĂĄ perdido. Donât worry, this is not the end of the world!
Aunque mi inglĂ©s escrito aĂșn debe mejorar, reconozco que ha mejorado una bestialidad y en parte ha sido gracias a los libros en inglĂ©s o artĂculos, blogs y demĂĄs que siempre me ha encantado leer. Leer va a hacer crecer tu repertorio de forma increĂble, pero no vale con solo leer.
Te lo cuento todo en este podcast. Enjoy đ
Ideas mentioned in this podcastâ Question of the day: Can you recommend me books to learn English? Not just the ones that are read in a traditional English course? From Sergio who lives in Victoria.
â To begin with, take into account this concept: The sweet spot.
â The sweet spot is something that is not too easy nor too difficult. Just the right difficulty level, challenging enough to feel motivated.
â David shares his own experience and how he is not learning English thanks to reading. Donât make the same mistake!
â If you are just passively reading you are not going to learn any vocabulary. You wonât remember new words.
â Some recommendations:
If you want to remember the new words just: Give it wellie! (= Dale caña!). Try to use them in real conversations, try to type them in a social network, write them in a website, write a review of the book etc. Try to use new words in a real context. You need a method to collect those words: a journey, apps, flashcards, and notebooks. Keep track of the words you learn. Useful resources: Graded Readers (Cambridge): they come with a CD. You can read and listen at the same time. Penguin Readers (Oxford University Press): similar to the above Simple English Wikipedia: a simple version of Wikipedia adapted for English learners. Itâs written in simpler language. Audible: a bank of audiobooks Youtube: you can find audiobooks here as well. VOA, Voice of America learning English: you can find hear lots of new articles which are read by a reporter.â My personal recommendations is to choose a story. It helps you get engaged. Juts be careful with the levelâŠremember to find the sweet spot!

Bienvenido al Feed de Daway Inglés.
CĂłmo hablar inglĂ©s de cero. ÂżAlguna vez te has sentido asĂ, perdido/a ante todo lo que tienes que hacer, sin saber quĂ© rumbo tomar?
JamĂĄs me olvidarĂ© de cĂłmo mi padre nos la jugĂł a mi hermano y a mĂ.
Do you know what he did?
Mira. Nos apuntĂł al patronato musical, a los dos hijos, sin avisarnos, obligados. Nos gustase O NO la mĂșsica. No tuvimos opciĂłn. Mi hermano empezĂł con la baterĂa y yo con la trompeta.
Pues sĂ, un poco impulsivo y forzado, pero a dĂa de hoy le doy las gracias a mi padre por haberlo hecho. Sin esos años, no habrĂamos desarrollado la pasiĂłn que tenemos por la mĂșsica.
Donât worry, Iâm not going to tell you the story of my life. Itâs boring!
Simplemente resulta que esto estå directamente relacionado con la duda que me mandó Elena, una oyente y suscriptora de la lista de correo, sobre aprender inglés. Ella necesita hablar inglés y no tiene ni idea de cómo empezar. Tal vez se sienta un poco como el barco de la foto, a la deriva y sin saber por dónde tirar.
Si tambiĂ©n es tu caso, este podcast te va a ayudar a aclararte. Como siempre, te doy mi respuesta 200% sincera đ
CĂłmo hablar inglĂ©s desde cero â Ideas mentioned in this podcastâ Question of the day (from Elena): «necesito hablar inglĂ©s y no sĂ© cĂłmo»
â A lot of people ask us about how to start learning English.
â There are so many dreams that we have and speaking English can help us.
â David tells us a story about one of his passions.
â Davidâs dad signed him and his brother in music school without even asking them when they were younger. It was an obligation.
â He now loves music and he is currently taking singing lessons. He has an amazing coach and she tells him what he has to do to improve.
â You can save a lot of time if you pay for professional help. You get the right person to help you. It is an investment.
â When you have free resources and you are a beginner you feel lost. You donât know where to start. You need a system and a course.
â When you pay you take it more seriously. Your teacher will be asking you to do your homework and you will feel really bad when you donât do it. You are accountable.
â When youâve got a higher level, it is different. In this case, you are independent, autonomous. You can find information, resources etc. You can create sentences, express yourself, and write sentences.
â Donât lose your motivation. Once you overcome this critical stage, your level will be so much better.
