C'est pour pratiquer le vocabulaire de tous les jours

French Koala

Un propòsit és un objectiu, una meta que ens posem, és a dir, una cosa que volem fer, com per exemple aprendre un nou idioma o anar al gimnàs. 

En aquest episodi parlem sobre per què tanta gent abandona els seus propòsits d'any nou i quines estratègies podem utilitzar per completar els nostres objectius.

This podcast offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and using idioms, focusing on their characteristics, usage, and relationship with other figures of speech.   It distinguishes between idioms, metaphors, and similes, noting that while metaphors involve a direct or implied comparison and similes use "like" or "as," pure idioms are opaque and non-comparative, acting as traditional, fixed phrases that must be memorised. Overall, this episode serves as educational material explaining the nuances and classifications necessary for accurate comprehension of these linguistic components.

The Missing Element in All Types of Interviews

In a job interview, make your case fast and be sure your suit is pressed, too. But it's not what the recording is about :) 

You might laugh, but it takes a few seconds for an experienced HR manager to decide on the outcome of the interview.

One of my students from China working as a general manager for a luxury firm said, "Oh, Anatoly, I watch for the words they use; if they have a victim mentality, the chances of them succeeding with us are low.". 

What are you going to do now after reading this?

I mean, I hear these remarks by my students who are top managers—they don't want to hear any kind of whining or complaining about the past. All they care about is how successfully you are going to assist and support the company's evolution and growth!

The winner's attitude is what they are looking for, and to be honest, it's a rare-case scenario.

If you check with yourself, what do you like? A complainer? A thrilled and excited individual? Are you happy about the changes, or does the future seem dark and gloomy?

Top managers got themselves trained to pick those nuanses, and so do I, as I've had top performers as my students for 8 years, and I did close to 21 thousand meetings with them—it's evident!

Let me know if this text was an eye-opener for you. I would be for me!!! 

If you want  me to listen to your speech and share some recommentations of how to improve your English performance - be my guest, book my classes now!
