Juliana (de Brasil) y yo (de México) platicamos sobre la música de los 60s y 70s que se esuchaba en nuestro respectivo país. Lo interesante, es que cada quién habló en su lengua materna, y ninguno de los dos, ha estudiado formalmente el idioma del otro.

Checa el perfil de Juliana para escuchar otro episodio sobre el arte surrealista.

Hi everyone! Today, in this first episode we're going to talk about hobbies!

Brazilian Portuguese with Carolina Quetz

Falando sobre seus hobbies/ talking about your hobbies

„ü“ ... Ein Alptraum, oder? Eigentlich nicht: Hier ist ein Trick für dich:

- Du musst erst lächeln =) (dein Mund ist dabei offen)
- Setzte deine Fingerspitzen an beiden Mundwinkeln.
- Der Zungenrücken sollte leicht nach oben gehen.
- Sag jetzt lange i.
- Während du lange i sagst, komme mit den Fingerspitzen von Links und Rechts in die Mitte.
- und schon hast du ein „ü“ =)

Viel Spaß beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Übermäßige Übung führt häufig zu Müdigkeit. Üblicherweise benötigt der Körper genügend Ruhe, um sich zu regenerieren. Frühes Aufstehen, späte Überstunden und ungesunde Ernährung stören die Balance. Deshalb ist es üblich, täglich mindestens sieben Stunden zu schlafen. Übrigens: Frische Luft und Bewegung unterstützen das Immunsystem. Übergewicht kann durch regelmäßige Übung und gesunde Mahlzeiten reduziert werden. Wichtig: Üppige Portionen vermeiden! Gemüse, Hülsenfrüchte und Nüsse liefern Nährstoffe, ohne zu überfüllen. Überdies sollte Wasser stets griffbereit sein. Übung macht den Körper stark, doch Übertreibung schadet. Überlege klug, was dein Körper wirklich benötigt. Übrigens: Pausen sind genauso wichtig wie produktive Phasen. Übe dich in Balance!

हम इस कहानी से देख सकते हैं की एक छोटा और बुद्धिमान उल्लू एक खूंखार शेर को हरा सकता  है।

शेर और उल्लू की कहानी 

Many leaders struggle to strike the balance between friendliness and firmness. One client, let's call her Sarah, excelled in collaboration but found her team didn't take her directives seriously. Her challenge? Assertive communication.

Over 12 weeks, we embarked on a journey to transform Sarah's communication style. Our bi-weekly coaching sessions (Mondays for planning, Fridays for review) provided structure and accountability. Here's how we achieved results:

Unveiling the Power of "I" Statements:  Instead of accusatory "you" statements ("You always miss deadlines!"), we practiced "I" statements ("I feel frustrated when deadlines are missed"). This shifted the focus to the impact on Sarah and the team, fostering collaboration.

Body Language Bootcamp:  Nonverbal cues speak volumes. We practiced confident posture, strong eye contact, and clear gestures. Standing tall while giving instructions and mirroring team members' positive body language fostered a sense of mutual respect.

The Art of the Pause:  Sarah often rushed through instructions, leaving room for confusion. We mastered the power of the pause. Strategic pauses after key points allowed information to sink in and empowered team members to ask clarifying questions.

Innovation in Role-Playing:  Traditional role-playing can feel awkward. We gamified the process, creating scenarios based on Sarah's real-life situations. This playful approach allowed Sarah to experiment with assertive language in a safe space, boosting her confidence.

Celebrating Small Wins:  Progress wasn't always linear. We celebrated even minor victories, like delivering a firm but respectful instruction. Acknowledging her achievements fueled Sarah's motivation and helped her stay on track.

The Result? Measurable Change: Within three months, Sarah's communication transformed. Team meetings became more focused, deadlines were met consistently, and her leadership presence flourished.

How I Coached a Leader to Master Assertive Communication - Episode 65 

One way to improve our language skills is by expressing our thoughts in the target language. For that reason, I have prepared an English conversation class “Express Yourself through A Conversation”. Please feel free to check that lesson here: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/24647106/english
I have a lot of interesting topics to talk about. But of course, you are welcome to bring up your own topic.

In this episode, I want to show you one example of the discussion topic. It’s about my imaginary city, Subara City 素晴市 （スバラしsu ba ra shi）.   The name is derived from 素晴らしい（すばらしい）and 都市（とし）.   素晴らしい means “wonderful”, “magnificent”.    市 means “city” and when placed at the end of a word can be pronounced as “shi”し.   So here I name my imaginary city 素晴市（スバラしsu ba ra shi）or “Subara City”.  In this episode, I’m introducing English lessons, not Japanese. I just want to let you know how I made up the name.

The theme of the story is that you have just been elected to the council for Subara City. You have 6 billion Yen in your budget. What can you do? Listen through. Below here is a simple worksheet to give you more ideas.
