Do you like coffee with a high aroma and flavor? this post is for you

Arabica coffee is considered a much more select and refined grain than the rest. True coffee lovers always tend to choose this variety, rather than a more earthy and robust bean.

I am Andrés Guillermo, the only distributor in Cuenca and Azuay of 100% Arabian coffee, grown and harvested at 1,300 meters above sea level, in the province of Zaruma. I have roasted coffee in two presentations: ground and beans, 450-gram bags so that you can make your breakfast or afternoon coffee a delicious experience in your mouth.

What is the ideal mask to avoid the spread of covid-19?

With the British variant circulating, what is the ideal mask to avoid the spread of covid-19?

The arrival of the British variation of covid-19 in Ecuador has concerned both medical personnel in the country and the general public.

For this reason, it is necessary – now more than ever – to maintain the practices that during 2020 prevented thousands of infections: the use of a mask, constant hand washing and the respective biosecurity and social distancing protocols.

In August 2020, Duke University researchers developed a simple and inexpensive optical device that allows measuring the ability of a mask to block respiratory droplets that infect COVID-19, by making them visible using laser light and counting them using a computer algorithm. .

During the trials of this new device, it was confirmed that when people speak, they expel droplets, so that the coronavirus disease can be transmitted by talking, without coughing or sneezing, according to physician Eric Westman and physicist and chemist Martin Fischer, co-authors of this research.

Using this method, the experts found that the best face covers are the hospital-grade, valved KN95 masks used by healthcare workers. (Source: BBC.com)

I am Andrés Guillermo, authorized distributor for Cuenca and Azuay of these masks, imported from the USA, comfortable, light, adaptable to any face, their use does not cloud the lenses, they can be used by children or adults. I sell them by unit or by box of 20 units. Laminated to avoid manipulation. Contact me WhatsApp 099 647 2877 or call me, free home service.

Spanish: stop translating in your head and start thinking in Spanish

Imagine this: A Spanish speaker comes up to you and starts speaking to you in Spanish.

How do you see yourself? What do you do?

Are you fumbling for words?

Stuttering and pausing for long periods of time as you translate in your head and think about the different verb conjugations, etc.?

Because if you are, then pay close attention to what I’m about to share with you.

If you’re not, then this isn’t for you. You can stop reading now.

But if you are having trouble recalling the words you need in a conversation, then it’s time to make some changes because this is a problem.

You cannot achieve fluency if you’re translating everything in your head first.

This is why you’re fumbling and why you don’t feel confident speaking Spanish.

It’s not because you’re slow, or not good with languages… it’s not even because you’re too old to learn.

Translation can be helpful when you’re just starting out but then you must begin to train your brain to think in Spanish.

If you’re not thinking in Spanish, then you can’t have a fluid conversation.

It’s that simple.

So how do you teach your brain to think in Spanish?

There are a number of things you can do but the most important thing is learning through meaningful context and this is something my team and I at Spanish To Fluency can help you with.

After initially struggling to learn Spanish as an adult and finally becoming fluent, as well as helping several other expats communicate more effectively, I’ve taken all of what I’ve learned along the way and used it to create my Spanish To Fluency 12-Week Bootcamp Program.

I’ve also found it extremely effective to incorporate some key aspects of neuroscience into our program.

When you can understand more about how your brain works and what it’s natural learning processes are, you can create a brain-friendly learning environment that facilitates the process and accelerates results.

If you’d like to discuss things further to see if it’d be a good fit for you, you can visit out website at http://www.spanishtofluency.com and book a free consultation.

What our 12 Week Bootcamp consists of:

– Conversation practice with native speakers from Latin America (this is an online program) – Personalized language coaching and support
– The Neuroscience behind learning a foreign language
– A customized daily action plan
– Customized recommendations, strategies and learning resources
– Personalized feedback and instruction (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, comprehension, etc.)

We have 5 spots left for a February start and they fill up fast, so book your free consultation today: https://go.oncehub.com/NadinedePanta
