最近、ドイツのスーパーでは小麦粉や油、パスタが売り切れになっています。油については揚げ物に使うひまわり油は売り切れていますが、オリーブオイルはあります。小麦粉や油を置いている棚には「1人２個まで」と書いた紙が貼ってあります。
この状況がなぜ起こっているのか、私には詳しい理由がわかりません。戦争のせいでウクライナやロシアから商品が来ていないからかもしれないし、緊急の場合に備えて買いだめをしている人が多いからかもしれません。
２年前にパンデミックが始まった時にも小麦粉とトイレットペーパーが売り切れになりました。
幸い、私の家には去年イタリアでもらったオリーブオイルとパスタがたくさんあるので困っていません。
みなさんの国ではどうですか？

Hoy tenemos otro día festivo, porque es hoy cuando abrimos los regalos de Navidad, que los Reyes Magos de Oriente nos han dejado debajo del árbol durante la noche. Además de abrir los regalos hay hacemos otra cosa típica, y es comer el rosco o roscón de Reyes. Te cuento todo sobre este rosco en el episodio.

¿Habías escuchado sobre el Roscón de Reyes? ¿Qué te parece esta tradición?

The Language Bro

Episode 7: My thoughts on AI

Imagine a chance meeting at a conference – a fleeting opportunity to make a strong impression. That's the power of an elevator pitch, a succinct introduction that sparks interest and sets you apart. Here's how to craft yours for networking success:

Grab Attention in the First 10 Seconds:  A captivating opening is key. Are you passionate about solving a specific industry challenge? Briefly mention it and how your expertise can be the solution. For instance, "I'm a data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden insights that boost marketing campaign effectiveness."

Introduce Yourself Professionally:  In a sentence or two, state your profession and a key area of strength.  Keep it clear and concise. Example: "I'm a marketing specialist with a proven track record in developing high-performing social media strategies."

Highlight Your Value Proposition:  This is where you showcase what sets you apart.  It could be a unique skill, a successful project you've led, or a specific achievement that demonstrates your value. Don't just list duties; focus on results. Example: "I recently spearheaded a social media campaign that generated a 30% increase in qualified leads for my company."

End with a Clear Call to Action:  A strong call to action leaves a lasting impression and encourages further conversation.  Do you want to connect on LinkedIn? Offer to share a relevant case study or discuss your expertise in more detail?  Keep it specific and actionable.

Craft, Refine, and Conquer:

Practice your pitch out loud to refine its delivery. Aim for clarity, enthusiasm, and a natural conversational tone. Time yourself – it should be under 30 seconds to hold attention in a busy environment.

Bonus Tip: Tailor Your Message:  A one-size-fits-all approach won't cut it. Research the event or organization beforehand. Highlight skills and experiences relevant to their interests.

Follow these steps, you'll craft a memorable elevator pitch that captures attention, showcases your value.
