Why we find people so annoying

Why we find people so annoying

Author: Spanish Obsessed February 22, 2024 Duration: 16:27

Have you met someone truly "toxic"? What do you think made them that way? 
In this episode, Lis and Rob discuss the "Fundamental Attribution Error" - when we try to explain someone's behavior based mostly on their personality and don't think enough about the situation they are in. 


¿Te encuentras en ese punto en el que entiendes lo básico del español pero las conversaciones reales aún se te escapan? Intermediate Spanish-Spanish Obsessed es ese espacio diseñado para dar el salto. Aquí, la pareja formada por Lis (colombiana) y Rob (inglés) mantienen charlas naturales y entretenidas, hablando a un ritmo deliberadamente pausado para que tu oído se acostumbre sin perderte. La clave está en que, aunque hablan más despacio, su dinámica y los temas que tratan son completamente auténticos, reflejando cómo se habla realmente. A lo largo de este podcast, exploran una variedad de asuntos de la vida cotidiana, la cultura o noticias, y en el proceso te van equipando con frases útiles y geniales que de verdad se usan, además de explicar, de manera integrada, esos detalles de gramática que marcan la diferencia. Es como escuchar a dos amigos conversar, con la ventaja de que puedes seguir cada palabra y absorber el idioma en contexto. Cada episodio es una oportunidad para sumergirte en el español intermedio, ganando confianza y comprensión auditiva de forma natural. Spanish Obsessed crea este recurso pensando en quien busca conectar con el idioma más allá de los libros de texto, ofreciendo conversaciones reales que son a la vez accesibles y ricas en aprendizaje.
