Ana: If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be?
David: If I had traveled more when I was young, I would be more open-minded now. I spent too much time working and not enough time experiencing the world.
A: I know what you mean. If I had studied abroad, I would have learned a language faster.
D: What about your career? Would you have done anything differently [dɪfərəntli]?
A: If I hadn't changed jobs in 2018, I wouldn't have met my husband. So even though that job was terrible, it led [lɛd] (llevó) to something wonderful.
D: Funny how life works. If my parents hadn't moved to Barcelona when I was ten, I would have grown up in a completely different place. My whole life would have been different.
A: Do you regret anything?
D: If I had learned English earlier, I would have had more opportunities. But I'm learning now, so it's never too late!
A: That's the right attitude ['ætɪtu:d] (actitud). If we always looked back with regret, we would never move forward ['fɔrwərd] (hacia delante).
Si estudiar algo te resulta muy fácil, probablemente no estés aprendiendo mucho. Que te cueste un poco es buena señal. Las dificultades no son malas para el aprendizaje; de hecho son el mecanismo.
