In this episode we will look at the comparisons between learning a language and creating art. We look at the threshold between learning and creating in the privacy of our own mind and sharing our work with the public and how that relates to moving from static learning to active conversation.

For those who are learning Spanish, the pronunciation of some letters is difficult, such as the letter "r".

The pronunciation of the letter "R" is difficult for English speakers, because you have to vibrate your tongue above the palate.

Are you ready to master the art of effective business communication? As an educator, my primary objective is to equip my Business English (BE) students with the skills they need to excel in the professional realm. In my class, we dive deep into the world of written communication, exploring the ins and outs of crafting compelling emails, memos, reports, and business letters. From understanding the core principles of effective writing to applying them in practical scenarios, I guide my students on a journey towards proficiency. Through engaging discussions and interactive exercises, we explore the importance of clarity, conciseness, and precision in communication. Grammar, punctuation, and formatting conventions are meticulously dissected, forming the building blocks of polished writing. Moving forward, we delve into the practical aspects of business communication, dissecting the components of impactful emails, constructing concise and effective memos, and mastering the art of persuasive report writing. Additionally, we explore the nuances of writing professional business letters, adapting our communication style to suit diverse audiences and contexts. Through role-playing activities and simulations, my students gain practical experience, preparing them to navigate real-world business scenarios with confidence.

Lo artesanal y lo industrial Ft. Susana Resendiz

Many of us have a preferred way of dealing with conflict. However, the way you respond to conflict should depend on the situation. So, take time to consider the situation and decide on the best way of dealing with that conflict. 

Giving in:
You’re probably right.
I’m happy to do it your way.

Avoiding:
I’d prefer not to talk about this now.
I’ll leave it to you to decide.

Forcing:
Let me tell you how this made me feel.
This is what I think we should do…

Compromising:
If I (do this) can you (do this)?
I’m happy to agree on (this) if you can (do that).

Working together:
I’d like to hear your side of things.
What do you think is the best way forward?
