En el episodio de hoy hablamos de falsos amigos. No, no de los falsos amigos en tu círculo social, sino gramaticalmente hablando. En especial de los falsos amigos entre el español y el inglés porque es verdad que ambos idiomas tienen palabras parecidas con un significado similar. Pero también es cierto que muchas palabras que parecen iguales tienen un significado totalmente diferente. Y es en esas palabras en las que nos vamos a concentrar hoy para que puedas usarlas correctamente y evitarlas cuando no son necesarias para no pasar por situaciones vergonzosas.

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes el episodio. Si lo haces, no te olvides de dejar una valorcaión. Te lo agradeceré muchísimo.

Y, ya sabes que espero tus comentarios.

As a communication coach, I witness the transformative power of preparation in business communication.  Winging it might work occasionally, but for consistent success, pre-communication planning is your secret weapon.  Here are my top 6  tips to ensure you dominate your next meeting, presentation, or email exchange:

1. Know Your Audience:  This isn't a cliche; it's the foundation.  Research your audience's background, interests, and pain points.  Tailor your language and message to resonate with them.  Imagine explaining your idea to a friend – that level of clarity and connection is what you're aiming for.

2. Define Your Purpose:  What is the single most important takeaway you want your audience to have?  Is it to inform, persuade, or simply update?  Having a clear purpose keeps your message focused and avoids information overload.

3. Craft a Compelling Message:  Less is more.  Eliminate jargon and redundancy.  Structure your message with a clear beginning, middle, and end.  Practice your delivery beforehand, paying attention to pacing, tone, and body language.

4. Anticipate Roadblocks:  Forewarned is forearmed.  Think of potential objections or questions your audience might have.  Prepare clear, concise responses that address these concerns head-on.  This demonstrates confidence and proactive problem-solving.

5. Choose Your Weapon Wisely:  Not all communication channels are created equal.  Consider the purpose and audience when selecting your method.  A complex proposal might be best delivered as a written document, while a team update could thrive on a video call.

6. Embrace Technology:  Utilize presentation tools effectively.  Visuals can significantly enhance understanding and retention of your message.  However, avoid information overload –  keep slides clean and focused on supporting your core points.

TOP 6 Best Practices for Business Communication Preparation - EP 26

Hi, and welcome back to All About Cats! In today’s episode, we’ll be diving into everything you need to know about bringing home a new kitten. Whether you already have a cat or you’re thinking of getting one, this episode will guide you through the essentials of kitten care, adoption, and setting up your home for your furry friend. Let’s get started!
How to preparing for a New Kitten Bringing a kitten home is exciting, but preparation is key! Here are some crucial steps to take before your new kitten arrives:
•	Set up a designated space: Choose a quiet room with a litter box, food and water bowls, a cozy bed, and some toys.
•	Kitten-proof your home: Remove toxic plants, small objects, and anything dangerous a curious kitten might chew on or swallow.
•	Find a veterinarian: Schedule an initial checkup to ensure your kitten is healthy and up to date on vaccinations.
•	Gentle handling and socialization: Spend time bonding with your kitten and introduce them slowly to new experiences, people, and sounds.
Adoption vs. Buying a Kitten When deciding whether to adopt or buy a kitten, adoption has many benefits:
•	Saves a life: Many cats in shelters need loving homes.
•	Cost-effective: Adoption fees are often lower than breeder prices and usually include vaccinations.
•	Reduces overpopulation: Adopting helps create space for other homeless animals.
Of course, there are some challenges with adopting strays. They may have health issues, as I experienced with my own kittens, Maggie, Nikko, and Lily. Maggie unfortunately didn’t survive due to a virus, and Nikko has neurological issues, but Lily is thriving. Despite the challenges, adoption is incredibly rewarding!

Thanks, joining me. Until next time, keep your whiskers twitching and your tails high! Bye

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

北海道旅行の続きです。
今回は4日目の話です。

中標津、なかしべつ、というところから、北に走りました。
北海道の道路といえば、日本ではめずらしく、まっすぐな道が多いです。

そんな中でも日本で2番目に長い道路に行きました。


天に続く道展望台
https://maps.app.goo.gl/kZe5ph5bpyvQix8MA?g_st=ic

この展望台から、
約28kmのまっすぐな道を見ることができます。
季節のタイミングがあえば、まっすぐな道の先に夕日を見ることができます。

他の場所では見ることができない景色です。
特別な場所ですね。


ちなみにまっすぐの道路で1番長いのも北海道にあります。
約29kmです。

海外ではこういったまっすぐな道は多いかもしれないですが、日本はせまい国なので、とてもめずらしいです。

もし、北海道旅行の予定があって、レンタカーを借りる人はぜひ行ってみてください！


ということで、今回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！
