Mental blockers in job interviews, IELTS speaking or communication as a whole.

Have you heard of such a thing as a mental blocker? Or psychological filtering?

Most techers never talk about this because they care too much on helping you with the language (grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing). There is nothing wrong with it but why 60-90% of language learners aren't satisfied about their spoken language performance?

Mental blockers or filtering is when we focus too much on the bad things and ignore the good things. 

This can make us only see the negative parts of a situation and not notice the positives. It's like when you only pay attention to one mean comment and ignore all the nice ones. 

This can make us feel bad about ourselves and not appreciate the good things around us.

Have you found yourself in it? We all do it, I do too in various aspects and my student Savi inspired me to help you become aware of it and deal with it and succeed as the result.

Take your time listening to it as it is the first time in your life you came across this topic and again - it's not what English teachers talk about so please meditate on my thoughts, let yourself grow and come to my vip 1-1 training to ask questions and be helped.

You can do it!

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。気温は21℃。
少し肌寒いです。

今日はもしもし？について話します。

みなさんの国では、電話を取る時、なんと言いますか？
英語を使う国では、Helloとか、Hiというでしょうか。

日本では、電話を取った時、もしもし？といいます。
他の時に使わないので、少し不思議な言葉に感じます。
なぜ、もしもし、と言うか知っていますか？

日本の電話のはじまりは、1890年明治23年でした。
当時は、電話交換をする人、オペレーターのような人がいて、電話をつないでいました。

その人がつなぐ相手に失礼のないよう、
"申します、申します"と言っていました。
ちゃんとつながっているか、言います、言います、と確認していたということですね。

それが短くなり、今のもしもし、となったようです。

その言葉が今も残っていると思うとおもしろいですよね。
日本人に電話をかける時は、ぜひ、もしもし！と言ってみてください。

ということで、今日も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
