Devi avere un obiettivo linguistico specifico da raggiungere in un periodo determinato, ma l'obiettivo deve essere specifico e realizzabile.

In 6 mesi puoi cominciare a comunicare in una lingua, anche abbastanza bene, questo sì è possibile. 

Ma avere come obiettivo imparare una lingua in 6 mesi è pericoloso per la tua autostima, molto probabilmente non riuscirai a farlo e al sesto mese penserai di avere un problema, penserai di essere stupido/a.


Imparare una lingua è un po' come avere una corretta alimentazione e fare sport. 

Il consiglio di un mio amico personal trainer è valido anche per l'apprendimento linguistico: vuoi migliorare la tua situazione psico fisica per sempre e per tutta la vita? Devi fare sport per tutta la vita... 
La stessa cosa si può dire per l'apprendimento linguistico!

Landing your dream job hinges on more than just qualifications and experience.  The ability to communicate effectively can be the tipping point between an "interviewee" and a "new hire."  Here's how preparation in business communication can propel you towards that coveted job offer:

1. Research is King:  Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to the company you're targeting.  Research their mission, values, and current projects.  This not only demonstrates genuine interest, but also allows you to tailor your responses and showcase how your skills align perfectly with their needs.

2. Craft Your Elevator Pitch:  Imagine a concise, impactful summary of your skills and experience.  This "elevator pitch" could be your first impression, so practice delivering it with confidence.  Focus on achievements and quantifiable results, leaving a lasting impression on potential employers.

3. Anticipate Interview Questions & Prepare Answers:  Common interview questions are a dime a dozen.  Research them online and prepare clear, concise responses that highlight your strengths and accomplishments.  Practice out loud to refine your delivery and ensure you come across as articulate and well-prepared.

4. Dress for Success:  First impressions matter, and your attire speaks volumes.  Research the company culture and dress accordingly.  A professional appearance conveys respect and demonstrates your commitment to the role.

5. Body Language Matters:  Beyond words, nonverbal cues significantly influence how you're perceived.  Maintain eye contact, project confidence through good posture, and avoid fidgeting.  These subtle signals communicate professionalism and enthusiasm.
