This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

MP3•Maison d'episode

Los adverbios son palabras que nos dicen cómo se hace una acción. Por ejemplo, en la frase "La persona camina lentamente", "lentamente" es el adverbio que nos dice cómo camina la persona.

En español, muchos adverbios se forman agregando "-mente" al final de adjetivos femeninos que ya conocemos. Por ejemplo, "lento" se convierte en "lentamente". Es parecido a cuando en inglés agregamos "-ly" al final de algunas palabras, como "slow" que se convierte en "slowly".

Luego de escuchar responde a estas preguntas:

1. ¿Qué pide Andrés generalmente en la cafetería?

2. ¿Cómo saludó Andrés a Elena en la cafetería?

3. ¿Qué tan a menudo Elena prepara su café en la oficina?

4. ¿Cómo salieron ambos de la cafetería?

5. ¿Cómo avanzaba el día para ellos?

6. ¿Cómo hablaban Andrés y Elena sobre sus planes y retos en el trabajo?

7. ¿Con qué frecuencia Elena viene a la cafetería antes de ir a la oficina?

8. ¿Cómo planificaron su día Andrés y Elena?

Adverbs are words that tell us how an action is done. For example, in the sentence "The person walks slowly," "slowly" is the adverb that tells us how the person walks. In Spanish, many adverbs are formed by adding "-mente" to the end of feminine adjectives that we already know. For example, "lento" becomes "lentamente." It's similar to when in English we add "-ly" to the end of some words, like "slow" which becomes "slowly." After listening, answer these questions: 1. What does Andrés usually order at the cafeteria? 2. How did Andrés greet Elena at the cafeteria? 3. How often does Elena prepare her coffee at the office? 4. How did they both leave the coffee shop? 5. How was their day going? 6. How did Andrés and Elena talk about their plans and challenges at work? 7. How often does Elena come to the coffee shop before going to the office? 8. How did Andrés and Elena plan their day? Los adverbios son palabras que nos dicen cómo se hace una acción.

#24. Situations where you need to know how to use formal commands in Spanish 2:42

il y a 13 weeks2:42

In this podcast, we explore "formal commands" in Spanish, those commands that we use with respect and professionalism in various situations. 🧑‍🏫 Join us on a journey full of everyday examples so you can see when and how to use these commands in real life. 👨‍🏫 What will you learn? This podcast teaches you the benefits of using formal commands, especially in professional contexts. Learning to give instructions formally is key to conveying respect and authority, from the office to the coffee shop. 🔎 How are formal commands formed? Very simple: • If a present tense verb for "you (usted(es)" ends in -A(n), the formal form changes to -E(n)! Example: hablar ➡️habla(n)➡️ hable(n) (to speak) • If it ends in -E(n), it goes to -A(n). Example: comer ➡️come(n)➡️ coma(n) (to eat) • Remember, there are some irregular verbs! So we'll wait for you in class to review them all (intermediate level of Spanish at SpanishBlackbelt!). 😎 Benefits of mastering formal commands: With them, your Spanish sounds more professional and respectful, something essential in the work world or when interacting with clients and bosses. 👥 Learn more about our conversational Spanish classes https://spanishblackbelt.com/spanish_courses/conversational_spanish.php?area=Zoom&stateID=44 ================== CREDITS: https://www.pexels.com/video/a-man-training-his-dog-5740001/ https://www.pexels.com/video/a-woman-presenting-using-laptop-5311280/ https://www.pexels.com/video/mechanic-checking-under-the-car-8987301/ https://www.pexels.com/video/person-watering-plants-7655139/ https://www.pexels.com/video/close-up-video-of-a-person-wiping-a-cabinet-9462940/…

In this episode we will review a characterization about a family, observing when to use the verb in the indicative mood, and when to use the verb in the subjunctive mood. We will use simple sentences. The important thing is to know how to differentiate when we are talking about concrete facts, or when we are talking about subjective things, such as doubts, feelings and emotions. You will learn to say phrases like “dudo que mis hijos vean televisión hasta tarde” (I doubt my children watch TV until late), "creo que mi hijo juega video juegos en las noches" (I think my son plays video games at night”, "espero que mi hija no pase mucho tiempo frente a la pantalla" (I hope my daughter doesn't spend too much time in front of the screen”, and many more phrases.

#20. Subjunctive used after connectors in Spanish - Subjuntivo usado después de conectores en español 12:58

12:58

Welcome to our episode on mastering the subjunctive in Spanish! Today, we’ll dive into exercises that help you use the subjunctive in sentences describing actions or things. We start with two key examples: Buscaré un trabajo donde valoren mi experiencia. Necesito un coche que tenga un buen rendimiento. Notice the three common characteristics in these sentences: They use phrases with actions to describe something, rather than single words They include connectors like "where/donde" or "that/que" The action after the connector is in the subjunctive form, as there's no certainty that the described job or car exists. We'll explore how phrases like "where they value my experience" or "that has a good performance" replace simpler descriptors like "good." Plus, we'll cover other connectors in Spanish, such as quien, cuando, tan pronto como, hasta que, después de que, antes de que, mientras, con tal de que, a pesar de que, a menos que, en caso de que, sin que, aunque, tan pronto como, and luego que.
