저번에 말한 소파 TV 홈쇼핑에서 40% 할인하길래 구매했거든, 
이번 주 금요일에 도착한대.
上次说的沙发在电视购物上打六折, 我买了, 说是周五能到。 

잘 됐네! 이번 주 주말부터 소파 있는 거실을 볼 수 있는 거야?
那太好了! 这周末就可以看到客厅有沙发了? 

당연하지. 이월 상품이긴 하지만, 그래도 부드러운 천 재질로 구매해서, 
괜찮을 거야. 当然。虽然是过季商品, 但因为是柔软的布材质, 所以没关系。

진짜 기대된다. 
好期待呀。

A veces creemos que solo hay que memorizar si estás en el colegio o la universidad. Pero la verdad es que usamos la memoria para todo: para recordar fechas importantes, nombres, tareas del trabajo, incluso para mantener conversaciones coherentes.

Y en el caso de quienes estamos involucrados con los idiomas, obvio que también. Sigue escuchando, estamos seguros que te interesará...

Alimentos y estrategias que favorecen la memorización

As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.
