¡Salve, estudiantes de Inglés desde cero! ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué los latinos se llaman latinos? Generalmente, se usa latino para referirse a los habitantes de Latinoamérica, que incluye Sudamérica, Centroamérica, y el Caribe. Es un poco irónico, porque los hablantes del latín eran los romanos, quienes nunca llegaron a las Américas. Sin embargo, los idiomas español y portugués son descendientes lingüísticos del latín. El francés también, pero los franceses en las Américas no se consideran latinos. ¡No me pregunten por qué!¿De hecho, sabías que más de la mitad de las palabras en inglés provienen del latín? ¡No se preocupen, no voy a insistir que nosotros los angloparlantes somos latinos! Pero ¡sí quiero compartir la lección de hoy, donde usaremos el latín para mejorar tu inglés y tu conocimiento de la relación entre el inglés y el español!Recuerda que todos los recursos para este episodio, incluyendo la transcripción, la tabla de vocabulario y ejercicios para repasar el aprendizaje están disponibles en nuestro sitio web. Haz clic en este enlace para ver todos los recursos para este episodio:  https://www.inglesdesdecero.ca/186Dale “me gusta” a nuestra página en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inglesdesde0/Síguenos en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ingles.desde.cero/Aprende inglés con nativos que se formaron en su enseñanza. ¡Visita nuestro sitio web, https://www.inglesdesdecero.ca/ para inscribirte y seguir todas nuestras lecciones! __No dejes pasar esta oportunidad con Shopify y regístrate para un período de prueba por solo un dólar al mes en shopify.mx/desdecero

BONUS EPISODE – Pack your bags for Italy and dust off some clues with us as we dig into our first episode of a new ongoing bonus series – Ancient Venues. For this first episode we take a look at the Amphitheatre of Capua (Anfiteatro Campano), located in modern day Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Italy. We are joined by Valerie Higgins, Associate Professor of Archaeology at The American University of Rome, who guides us through the history of this legendary venue from the Roman Empire. The current amphitheatre sits on the site of two former, smaller amphitheatres, the first of which is presumed to have been built close to 100 B.C. It is second in size only to the Roman Coliseum and is located next to what was the most notable school for gladiators, where Spartacus was from and began his rebellion. We learn all about this incredible venue, historic venue terminology, seating and ticketing, events that were hosted, why large scale events like this took place, concessions and design, and its fascinating hypogeum – located under the arena floor where they staged scenery and warriors for the events. Whether you're a venue nerd or a history buff, or a little of both, you'll love hearing all about this ancient wonder that helped shape the venues we all know and love today.Valerie Higgins: Website | Papers | Book ––––––ADVENTURES IN VENUELANDFollow on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X/TwitterLearn more about Event & Venue Marketing ConferenceMeet our team:Paul Hooper | Co-host, Booking, Branding & MarketingDave Redelberger | Co-host & Guest ResearchMegan Ebeck | Marketing, Design & Digital AdvertisingSamantha Marker | Marketing, Copywriting & PublicityCamille Faulkner | Audio Editing & MixingHave a suggestion for a guest or bonus episode?

Meet Dr. Angel Martí, the first Latino to chair the Chemistry Department at Rice University, who aims to make the department accessible to all. Dr. Martí's was born and raised in Utuado, Puerto Rico, and grew up in a family of farmers. His childhood was marked by curiosity and homegrown experiments, turning every corner into a laboratory, an early sign of his passion for science. Dr. Martí's was initially captivated by Math, and participated in the Math Olympics, representing Puerto Rico. After graduating from high school, he enrolled at the university of Puerto Rico. When it came time to choose a path, he strategically decided on chemistry, and after stepping in a lab for the first time, he realized that was where he was meant to be. The road to becoming a professor and a school administrator wasn't without obstacles. Initially rejected from grad school, he persisted and eventually pursued his Ph.D. at the University of Puerto Rico, despite limited resources. Mentors played a crucial role, guiding him toward postdoctoral positions and faculty roles, yet, as a Latin professor, Dr. Martí has faced additional challenges. Undeterred, he excelled, and his exceptional contributions led him to become the Chair of Rice University's Chemistry Department. Dr. Martí's shared about the financial support that Rice University offers to undergraduate and graduate students, and we explored what Rice University can—and must—do to improve Latinx representation.  Leave a review:  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latinx-can/id1524232753  Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/latinx-can-1354080
