Leave your 🧡 if you will do your MAPA DE LOS SUEÑOS
What Is a Vision Board? / Que es un MAPA DE SUEÑOS?
A vision board is usually a collage of images that represent goals and dreams. It can include cut-out pictures from magazines and words that help inspire you to manifest your dreams and get where you want to go (here is a complete guide on how to manifest something).
Although vision boarding is a commonly used tool, there is not a lot of research on its effectiveness. Initial research suggests it can help us more easily reach our goals. This may be due to how vision boards help us gain self-awareness and self-reflect on what is important to us.

Some linguists talk about 8 types of Spanish dialects, but many more exist. These are the variety groups of Spanish:
Do you know which are they?
What’s an Accent?
The accent refers to variations in pronunciation within the same language or even within the same dialect or variety. Accents differ from standard language.
It means that a speaker of the Rioplatense variety of Spanish in Argentina can speak the European variety of Spanish if needed, using its specific vocabulary and grammar, but still keep the regional accent of their homeland.
An English speaker can choose to learn any variety or dialect of Spanish and still pronounce it with a foreign accent.
The key thing to remember is that “accent” only refers to pronunciation, while dialect must include distinct grammar and vocabulary beyond regional pronunciations.
What are Dialects?
A dialect, also called a variety, signals where a person comes from. It differs from other dialects within the same language in grammar and vocabulary. Some linguists also add phonological features, such as the pronunciation of vowels and consonants, and the intonation, but these are usually considered aspects of an accent.
So European Spanish and Mexican Spanish are examples of dialects, like British English and American English. They have differences in grammar and vocabulary but still, have a common core. If you learn standard English or standard Spanish, you’ll be able to communicate with speakers of both varieties.
What’s not a dialect? Well, let’s say you travel to Mexico City—you’ll hear people speaking with different accents depending on their social class. The fact is, a different accent is not equal to a different dialect.
Frida Kahlo (Mexico, 1907 – 1954)
