Staying inspired // HIGH FREQUENCY VERBS in Opposition

Spanish With Kerry

#Podcasting Education #Kerry Brennan

33:58

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Some lines from The Alchemist, by Paolo Coelho-

"Entonces, ¿por qué debo escuchar mi corazón?

Porque no conseguirás nunca mantenerlo callado. E incluso si finges no escuchar lo que dice, él estará dentro de tu pecho, repitiendo siempre lo que piensa sobre la vida y el mundo.

...Nadie logra huir de su corazón. Por eso es mejor escuchar lo que él dice."

Staying inspired isn't as pretty as it sounds! Learn what's on the flip side of the "inspiration" coin and learn to use it as fuel.

In part two, learning verbs as opposite pairs.

Llegar- to arrive/to get there/to get here
Salir- to leave/to get out

Venir- to come

Language & Identity- Growing up Latina in the US with Annette Toro 40:04

"Feeling unable to claim your identity because of not having the language..." A reality that many Latinos who grow up in the United States face. If they don't have mastery of the language, they may be told they're "not really Mexican, not really Puerto Rican, not really Venezuelan..." etc. In this conversation, Annette shares her journey of having grown up spending every summer in Puerto Rico and later losing fluidity in the language as an adult. The humbling and emotionally charged journey of picking up the language again is something that I believe will resonate with many listeners.

Training your Brain for Spanish // Saber & Conocer 20:22

How is it that you can recognize the sound of your name above hundreds of sounds in any given environment? We can use this same mechanism within the brain to tune into the language we're learning, improve our listening comprehension, and understand the more challenging aspects of grammar. Part 1 of this episode explains how. In Part 2, we look at Saber & Conocer... two verbs that can mean "to know." How to know when to use which "to know?" HA! That's what me and my buddy David Faulkner help you to understand. *CLARIFICATION- I say that "conocer" is always used for "meeting someone" What I mean is meeting someone for the first time. To imply that you came to know someone through work, you would use "conocer." Conocer is NOT used, however, when meeting up with someone. If you want to express that you and your friends met up at a restaurant, you would use "encontrarse." Links & References - Saber & Conocer Practice "De Cabo a Rabo.

If you're in this thing for real, you're going to get overwhelmed at times. There's so so so much to learn... even if you want to be "just conversational."

I share with you some vocab that I've learned since I've moved to Puerto Rico that I just love! You'll hear my smile. :D What is it that you love about Spanish? Be able to go back to that in times where you feel bogged down and overwhelmed by parts of the language that you don't love as much.…

To start to understand better the why and when of reflexive verbs, let's look at a number of examples of verbs that exist both as reflexive and as regular verbs. In part two, follow along with this transcript of "La Rutina Diaria de un Maestro" (The Daily Routine of a Teacher). Here's a great way to see reflexive verbs in action! Durante el año escolar tengo casi la misma rutina cada semana. De lunes a viernes, me levanto a las 6 de la mañana. Tengo muchas cosas que hacer después de levantarme. Primero, me baño y me lavo el pelo. Después de bañarme, me lavo los dientes y salgo del baño para vestirme. Normalmente, me visto en mi cuarto. Alrededor de la seis y media, desayuno. Normalmente como huevos con pan tostado. Siempre tomo mi cafecito con leche. Después de desayunar, preparo mi almuerzo. Después, como a las 7, me preparo para salir. Recojo mis papeles, mi mochila, mi ropa para hacer ejercicio, y mi almuerzo. Suelo salir a las 7 y 15 en punto.…
