第２４課　せっかく 2/2

Teamwork and collaboration are two of the most important topics in Business English. Today let's listen to some vocabulary, grammar, phrases, idioms and ideas for speaking about this in English. As an international professional you are always collaborating with colleagues from around the world, working together to complete projects and deliver great work. Learning and understanding how we can work together better, build better teams, and have better relationships with our team mates is key to being the best professional possible.  If you're listening on Apple podcasts please don't forget to leave a review, it really helps me out! 

For non-native English speakers, and people who speak English as a 2nd language, (second language speakers), working in teams can be challenging. Listening to what your colleagues have to say, and also expressing your own ideas, making as few mistakes as possible, and creating great sentences can be a challenge that many people find really difficult.

In this podcast we're going to be listening to several tips for improving your teamwork and collaboration skills, we'll look at the vocabulary and business English that can really help us to use those tips, then at the end we'll have a short quiz to see how much of what we talk about you can remember.

Teamwork and how to work better with your colleagues!

Series: The Woman Behind the Words.

Most learners think they freeze because of English.
But collapse doesn’t come from grammar, vocabulary, or fluency.
It comes from the internal script that wakes up the moment pressure enters the room.

This episode explores why brilliant, capable people lose their presence in English —
not because they don’t know enough,
but because their nervous system remembers old patterns:
the fear of judgment, perfectionism, mental overload, the shrinking of identity.

You’ll hear why “studying more” never fixes this,
and what learners actually need instead:
a calmer internal operator behind the voice.

This isn’t about language improvement.
It’s about emotional stability in the moments that matter.

💭 Reflection:
When does your English disappear — and what shifts inside you the moment it happens?

“The Pro Behind the Words” - You don’t need new words. You need the REAL YOU who speaks them.

Episode 4 — “Why Women We Collapse Under Pressure”?

Hi! You’re listening to the 111 Tips for Learning a Language Podcast. This is episode 2. Relax and be in your comfort zone as I present to you today’s tip. Why do we learn a language? We all have our reasons. What is your main reason? Simply put what motivates you to learn this language? We all know what drives us to learn a language. Rarely though we capitalize on the main reason we are learning the language. For example I am learning French because I want to spend my summer vacations here. This is the main reason which motivates me to learn French. Once I am clear about my main reason for learning French, I will concentrate on tourist vocabulary phrases to practice informal conversation with the locals. I will learn simple sentences so that I can make friends with the French and be understood by them. Aspects of the French language like the technicalities of grammar and writing would not be important for now. Once I narrow down my learning motivation, I become fluent quicker in what I really want to accomplish in the first place. The first milestone of getting one aspect of the language done is the one which always inspires me to learn more. Think about it. What is your main reason for learning a language? Is it for the perfect holiday, work, leisure, cultural or business reasons? Concentrate on one scope and expand on that area first. Now, I will leave you to it. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.

Tip 2 - Narrow down on your motivation and capitalize on it.

Today, I came across a wedding vow that resonated my thoughts exactly. As an ambitious person, I believe that one must fulfill personal goals before marriage. It is because marriage is a team effort and both individuals must grow before even tying the knot. I will be sharing a love story that started 14 years ago.
