Globish, anyone? In this episode, we'll talk about how to communicate effectively in an international business setting. Since most people in an international business environment speak English as a second language, that will be our focus. I'll share tips for native English speakers and English Language Learners, including where to focus your English language-learning efforts, so you're ready to excel in an international business setting. 

To succeed in an international business environment, I suggest going back to the basics. Tune in to find out how you can go back to the basics.

Explaining about the podcast and a short introduction of myself

Transcript
Velkommen til den første episode af Daglig Dansk. I denne episode vil jeg kort introducere podcastet og mig selv. Podcastet er for folk, der gerne vil lære dansk. Ideen er, at jeg vil snakke langsomt og tydeligt og i et relativt simpelt sprog. Jeg tænker, at podcastet primært er henvendt mod begyndere, men alle er selvfølgelig velkommen til at lytte med. Nu vil jeg lige kort præsentere mig selv. Jeg hedder Teis, og jeg er 28 år gammel. Jeg kommer fra Danmark. Jeg har boet mange steder i Danmark, så det er lidt svært at sige, hvor præcis jeg kommer fra. Men jeg tror, det giver bedst mening at sige, at jeg kommer fra Fanø, som er en ø, der ligger ud fra vestkysten af Jylland. Jeg har mange interesser, blandt andet skateboarding, fotografering, videoproduktion og musikproduktion. Jeg tror ikke, jeg vil sige mere om mig selv lige nu, men i stedet vil jeg snakke om, hvad jeg tænker, at det her podcast skal være. Generelt vil jeg snakke om hverdagsemner og bare ting, der interesserer mig. Måske vil jeg fortælle nogle historier fra mit eget liv. Engang imellem kan det være, at jeg inviterer en gæst med, så du også kan høre lidt dialog og ikke kun monolog. Jeg har ikke planlagt så meget endnu, så jeg tager det lidt som det kommer. Ideen er, at det bare ville være fedt at komme i gang, og så finder jeg ud af detaljerne hen ad vejen. Jeg tror, det var alt for denne gang, så jeg vil bare sige mange tak, fordi du lyttede, og jeg håber, du vil lytte med i næste episode.

There is plenty of information on the internet as to how to get high score in IELTS speaking, right? I don't want to go over it because you did it yourself. In this episode and in the future episodes I'll be talking about Psychology and HOW it is influencing us WHILE we are taking the test.
