Puntata 2. PRENDIAMO UN CAFFÉ?

There are many reasons why you should speak about money in the workplace such as salary negotiations, sales and purchasing, accounting, budgeting and resources... the list goes on.

However, whatever the reason there are always some drawbacks to discussing money:

You are talking about your money. The person you are engaging with will be focused on their money. You might need to check the basic assumptions to check that you and your opponent are talking about the same thing as often this is not the case. You need to express different perspectives and points of view on values, inputs and outputs, and ownership, etc., which can be difficult, and sometimes delicate, to do.

SHIFT THE FOCUS FROM PRICE TO VALUE

Talk in a way that places focus on the benefits you can offer your counterpart and not what claims you want to make for yourself personally. What savings can you give, what profits can you enhance? This is also particularly relevant when you are in an interview, as you can show what an economical advantage it would be for you to be hired rather than the next person, as businesses are always interested in those that can help boost business!

How do you say family members in Chinese? Is it more complicated than your language?

EP.5 Family members in Chinese part 2,

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

Listening Expert Shares How to Understand More of the English Language

9_Mein Haus. Mein Auto. Mein Boot.

(A)  Eine Fernseh-Werbung aus den 90er Jahren wird in Deutschland auch heute noch oft zitiert: Zwei Männer, die sich aus ihrer Schulzeit kennen, treffen sich nach Jahren wieder und wollen demonstrieren, wie viel sie im Leben erreicht haben. Sie wollen einander IN DEN SCHATTEN STELLEN, indem sie abwechselnd Foto um Foto auf den Tisch legen mit den Worten: „Mein Haus. Mein Auto. Mein Boot.“ Wobei das Boot eine Yacht ist.

(B)  Tatsächlich war es damals ein Zeichen von Wohlstand, ein schönes Haus und ein tolles Auto zu besitzen. Heute trifft das nicht mehr hundertprozentig zu. Junge, hochqualifizierte und gut verdienende Leute ziehen es nicht selten vor, ein Haus oder eine Wohnung zu mieten. Zum einen verlangt ihr Beruf oft dass sie flexibel sind und jederzeit umziehen können, zum anderen ist Wohneigentum in deutschen Großstädten fast UNERSCHWINGLICH geworden. Auch ein eigenes Auto ist nicht mehr für jeden erstrebenswert. Die Suche nach einem Parkplatz gestaltet sich zum täglichen Drama und die Innenstädte sind ein einziger Verkehrsstau. Nicht wenige junge Leute ziehen ein Fahrrad vor: Es ist gesünder, schneller und umweltbewusster. 

(C)  Ein hoher Lebensstandard zeigt sich heute eher in der neuesten digitalen Ausstattung. Auch schöne Reisen in die ganze Welt gehören zu den Wünschen der jungen Generation.  Andererseits spricht natürlich nichts gegen einen tollen Urlaub auf einem Boot.
