En este episodio de mi podcast Keep promises! (Manten tus promesas), Les contare lo que pienso sobre llevar un diario, mi experiencia y por qué llevar un diario es una buena idea para mejorar en el aprendizaje de idiomas. Explico cómo escribir en el diario de manera regular y constante te ayuda a practicar el idioma y a desarrollar tu fluidez y vocabulario. También hablo sobre cómo el diario te permite reflexionar sobre tu progreso y registrar nuevas palabras y expresiones que aprendas. Además, doy algunas ideas sobre qué escribir en el diario y cómo hacerlo de manera efectiva. Si estás aprendiendo un idioma y quieres mejorar tu fluidez y vocabulario, ¡este episodio es para ti!

¿Es un diario algo productivo?

In our first ever episode we explore the question of how language influences thought. But does it? How do we know that? In this short cut-out you'll have Guillaume Thierry introduce you to the two main schools of thought when it comes to testing whether the language you speak has an impact on the way you think.

为什么电影院的座椅是红色的？
        当我们有时间想放松一下，就会带着家人来到电影院看一场电影。你是否发现一个问题，电影院的座椅大都是红色的，按理说为了观影效果好，不应该用这么鲜艳的颜色会分散人的注意力。那么电影院的座椅为什么要弄成红色的呢？
        其实弄成红色恰恰是为了观影效果。光线亮的时候，人的眼睛对黄色最敏感，所以黄灯、校车、交通警示牌都用黄色的。光线暗的时候，人的眼睛对绿色最敏感，反而对刺眼的红色不那么敏感。不同颜色与我们眼睛的灵敏度有很大的关系。随着光线变暗，相对其他颜色红色会显得更暗，它是第一个消失在我们视线之中的颜色。
        所以当电影院的影片开场前，所有的灯光关闭后，我们瞬间就看不到红色座椅了，这样就可以更专注地看电影。

This is a step-by-step guide to shine during interviews with active listening:

Before the Interview:

Research: Understanding the company culture and the specific role helps you anticipate questions and tailor your responses. This demonstrates focus and genuine interest.
During the Interview:

Minimize Distractions: Silence your phone, arrive early to avoid last-minute jitters, and focus solely on the interviewer.

Power of Presence: Maintain eye contact (not staring) and an open posture that conveys attentiveness.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay close attention to the interviewer's words, tone, and body language. A stressed tone might indicate a challenging aspect of the job, while positive body language reflects their enthusiasm.

Engage with Nonverbal Cues:  Use subtle nods and smiles to show you're following along. Leaning in slightly demonstrates genuine interest.

The Art of the Pause: Don't jump in to fill silences. Give the interviewer time to complete their thoughts and gauge their reaction to your responses.

Clarify and Confirm:  When unsure, politely ask clarifying questions. This shows you're engaged and want to understand their expectations clearly.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Briefly restate key points in your own words. This demonstrates comprehension and allows the interviewer to correct any misunderstandings.

Active Listening in Action:  Throughout the interview, weave active listening techniques into your responses.  For example, "That sounds like a very fast-paced environment.  Can you tell me more about the team dynamic?"

After the Interview:

Thank You Note: Reiterate your interest in the role and mention a specific detail gleaned through active listening. This shows you were truly engaged and attentive.
By actively listening, you demonstrate not only strong communication skills but also genuine interest in the company and the role. This sets you apart from other candidates and increases your chances of landing your dream job!
