C1#01 Yoga, méditation et zénitude

In a perfect world, interviewers would give you feedback on the spot and contact you after your interview with their decision and advice. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen, so it’s up to you to ask for feedback. In this episode, you’ll learn how to ask for feedback in an interview tactfully and effectively. 

People often don't ask for feedback in an interview for many reasons. Perhaps they don't know they can ask for it. Maybe they assume they won't get an honest answer. Or, a candidate might fear it is inappropriate to ask for feedback in an interview. 

Asking for feedback in an interview is not only appropriate, but it is also an excellent growth opportunity and presents a chance to clarify misunderstandings and land a job. 

While we all know that the best talkers do not always make the best employees, organizational psychologist Adam Grant points out, “Job interviews favor candidates who are the best talkers.” So, in this episode, you'll get a list of 11 common communication mistakes in an interview that you can share with your mock interviewer. You'll also get four suggestions on how you can ask for feedback in an interview.

The episode concludes with a list of definitions for idioms and phrases for those who want to build their English vocabulary.

关于“ 一点儿” 与“ 有点儿” 的用法           （HSK3 ）

"Man is a being who reasons and controls fire." This powerful element has been absolutely key to the development of human history.

In this episode, we explore how fire transformed us: from the first time we cooked food to the start of civilization, art, and technology. Analyzing fire is analyzing the history of the world!

Spanish but nerdy

The history of fire

Let's listen to the great sorceress Circe and her brief story about her life while we practice the difference between Por and Para.

Circe, the sorceress

In questo podcast parlo di Medellìn, una delle città più conosciute della Colombia, come è cambiata dopo essere stata al centro delle dispute tra i gruppi armati per poco più di trent'anni, e adesso come si è trasformata in una città allegra, attiva non soltanto a livello economico ma anche culturale; come la gente ha cambiato la loro storia e adesso è una città bella e piena di arte. A livello grammaticale: uso dei tempi dell'indicativo: presente, passato prossimo; condizionale. Vocabolario dei viaggi, luoghi da visitare a Medellìn.

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の北海道の天気は、雨です。
気温は23℃です。

今日は1つうれしいことがありました。
このポッドキャストを聞いて、レッスンを予約してくれた方がいました。

とてもうれしかったです。
自分の知らないところでも、このポッドキャストを聞いて、日本語を勉強してくれている人がいることを実感しました。

これからもがんばってポッドキャストを作ろうと思いました！

本当にありがとうございます！


さて、今日は、イントネーションについて。
イントネーションをあげたり下げたりすることで、
疑問文にしたり、感情を表すことができます。

文の最後を上げることで、疑問文になります。
例えば、
・このコーヒーはおいしいですか？
・北海道は涼しいですか？
など。質問をしたい時は、最後をあげて疑問文にしてください。ーかをつけなくても、文末を上げることで疑問文にできます。


言葉のイントネーションを変えることで感情を伝えることができます。
例えば、そうですか、という言葉を使って、やってみましょう。
・そうですか！ーおどろきの気持ち
・そうですか？ーうたがいの気持ち
・そうですか。ー不満の気持ち
・そうですか。ー怒りの気持ち
・そうですか！ーうれしい気持ち

どうですか？伝わりますか？
同じ言葉でもイントネーションが変わると、伝わり方が変わります。

よかったら、練習してみてくださいね！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
