L'argomento di questo secondo podcast riguarda invece la pronuncia corretta delle doppie. Anche in questo caso si rischia un fraintendimento del significato.

L'importanza di pronunciare le doppie

What’s it like to date in Bogotá, go drinking in Dublin, or party in New York? In this fun episode, I chat with Jerome from Ireland (now living in Colombia) about cultural differences in nightlife, dating, and socializing.

Perfect for C1-level English learners, this episode is packed with useful vocabulary, idioms, and real native English. You’ll hear expressions like “hit it off,” “party animal,” and “paint the town red.”

🎙 Listen, laugh, and level up your English with us!

Thanks to Jerome for being such a great guest!!!

Hey Alexis!

DDD-Drinking, Dancing, and Dating in Different Cultures!

Get ready for a special treat! In this episode, I talk with Terri Creeden, an Executive Coach, trainer, and facilitator. Terri is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and Dare to Lead Facilitator through the Brené Brown Education and Research Group. During our conversation, we talk about how to get a job while being authentic and vulnerable. Here are some gems from this episode:

"The employer will be most impressed by an authentic person sitting in front of them and not somebody who has canned, formulated responses that they've heard from every other candidate. Let them see who you really are and not who they are hoping you are."

"Anytime we are caught up managing our image, how we look and appear, and come across to somebody else, that immediately takes us right out of authenticity. So you're moving further away from what's really going to win you that interview."

"What leaders really want to see is that they can trust somebody. If you aren't able to say, "I need help, or I can't do that, or I don't know how to do that," they're going to have trouble trusting you." 

Tune in to get more valuable insights from Terri, so you're well prepared for your next job interview! The second part of our conversation will be released in the next episode.
