Is American and British English the Same? (With transcript for study)

How many words do you know?  500?  1000?  10000?  Does it even matter?  You’re learning a language…you just want to be able to speak.  Well, if that’s the case, you’re going to need to know words.  And let’s be real, if you’re not having fluent conversations, it probably has nothing to do with you not understanding English grammar.  Besides, native English speakers use very simple grammar in daily conversations.  More often than not, not being fluent is caused by the lack of words in that brain of yours.  But not to worry, this problem is fixable.

Modern language learning enthusiasts…you know, these Internet Polyglots, talk a lot about word frequency and this idea of your first 1000 words.  Let’s talk a little about where that comes from.

Believe me; you want to hear the job interview question, "Why should we hire you?" It's your chance to cut through the noise and tell them exactly what is unique about you.

While you cannot possibly know other applicants' qualifications, you can sell yourself to the best of your ability, stating the things that would make you really great at the job, and convincing the hiring manager you're ready to hit the ground running

In this episode, we’ll quickly revisit your three goals in every job interview, since these goals will influence every answer and every interaction you have during the interview. You’ll then learn why employers ask, “Why should we hire you?”, hear how one of my clients who got a job offer answered the question, and get tips on how to answer it. You'll land your dream job in no time!

How to Answer, "Why Should We Hire You?

夏休みが終わった！！
高校生の息子はあと１日夏休みが残っていますが、小学生の娘は夏休みが終わりました。
娘は今年の夏、ピアノコンクールに挑戦していました。本当に毎日よく練習しました。
日曜日に本選がありました。
途中でまさかの2秒ほど一時停止。間違えたのではなく、なぜか一時停止。本番は何が起こるかわからないって、このことですね。コンクールですから、演奏の途中で止まることは、大きな減点です。それでも3位という立派な結果を頂きました。でもね、「くやしい、、、」「どうして、どうして止まっちゃった」って聴いていた私も、弾いていた娘も思いました。あー、あれさえなければって。悔いても、後の祭りですね。
で、「緊張したせいで、とても基本的なことを忘れてしまった。自分のピアノの音をしっかり聴くということを忘れてしまった」って、本番が終わって一夜明けた朝に娘が言っていました。
自分の間違いの理由に気づけたことは、本当に大きな成長です。
「挑戦する」ってことはいいことですね。いつも発見があるように思います。うまくいくこともあれば、失敗することもあります。そして、挑戦する努力の過程（かてい）がとても大切ですね。小学生の娘、まだまだ小さいと思っていましたが、ずいぶん大きくなりました。
どなたか、ピアノが大好きって方いませんか。ぜひぜひ、メッセージくださいね。
ピアノ好きの娘が大好きなドラマは「のだめカンタービレ」です。ずいぶん古いドラマです。上野樹里（うえのじゅり）さんが主演（しゅえん）なんです。面白いですよ。ネットフリックスには、「のだめカンタービレ」の映画があります。私と娘はもう5回は見ました。
あと、「ピアノの森」というアニメが大好きです。日本の有名なピアニストの反田恭平（そりたきょうへい）さんが演奏しているんです。このアニメもネットフリックスにありますよ。興味がある人は見てみてくださいね。
後の祭り：手遅れ（ておくれ）
過程：ある結果に達するまでの道、プロセス。
