Have thought about only focusing on what's essential? Does it seem to you as a good strategy to save time and achieve the skills that you need the most?

In this episode, I talk about both the benefits and drawbacks of essentialism as an approach to learning a language.

诗意中国
第一部分：
其实，从屋檐滴下的一颗水珠里
你就可以感受到中国的诗意
那是由屋顶上的积雪融化而成的水珠
当你伸出手掌
那颗水珠就在你的手心眨动
她明亮的就像春天的眼睛

Ep 23 - Tech - friend or foe ?

Disagreeing with people is an important and healthy part of working on a team towards shared goals. The challenge is therefore, how can we do this in a way that protects and even strengthens our professional relationships? It would be great if the only thing we had to do at work was to agree with people. If everyone around us had great ideas, and if our colleagues' suggestions always seemed like the best things to do. However, this is not the case.  A lot of people worry that if they disagree with their co-workers then this could upset them or damage their professional relationships. However, if we do it right, disagreeing with colleagues when it’s appropriate can be great for your team, your career, and your reputation at work.

Today we’re going to hear some tips and ideas for how to disagree with your colleagues, we’ll hear some great natural and native sounding vocabulary that we can use to do this, and then we’ll finish off with some challenges for you. Including a speaking challenge and a vocabulary quiz to see what you’ve remembered from today’s podcast. As always, if you find this podcast useful and helpful please feel free to follow me on iTalki, it really helps me out. OK, with that said let’s get started.
