Preparation for lessons

There are mistakes in one sentence. Can you find them? Write me a message about it and the lesson will be 10 minutes longer.

Persuasion shouldn't be avoided. It's a good thing. Businesses need to be persuasive.  Whether it's securing a new client, rallying a team, or negotiating a deal, the ability to influence and inspire action is paramount. 

The good news? Persuasion isn't about manipulation. It's about understanding your audience and crafting messages that resonate with their needs and goals. Here's how to hone your persuasive communication skills:

Tailor your message to resonate with the specific interests and motivations of your audience. Research their background, challenges, and communication style. 

People care about how something improves their situation.  Instead of listing features, explain how your product or service solves a specific problem or fulfills a desired outcome. 

Back up your claims with credible statistics, case studies, and testimonials. Data adds weight to your arguments and builds trust. 

Weave compelling narratives that illustrate your points and connect with your audience on an emotional level. Stories are memorable and foster empathy. 

Persuasion is a two-way street. Pay close attention to your audience's concerns and questions. Address them directly and demonstrate your willingness to understand their perspective.

Avoid jargon and technical terms. Use strong verbs, active voice, and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood. 

Speak with conviction and enthusiasm. Projecting confidence makes your arguments more believable and inspires trust. 

Your body language and tone of voice play a significant role in persuasion. Make eye contact, maintain good posture, and speak with a clear, steady voice. 

Clearly articulate the action you desire from your audience. Do you want them to sign a contract, invest in a project, or simply consider your point of view?

Episode 3: The Most Useful Russian Phrase You Must Know

私は子供の時に親に「ごはんできた？」とよく聞いていました。このフレーズはごはんの準備が終わったかどうかを聞くときによく使います。まだごはんの準備が終わっていなければ、「まだだよ」「もうすぐだよ」、準備が終わっていれば「できたよ」と親は答えます。
「できた」のここでの意味は英語のreadyという意味です。
他にも「レポートできた？」「準備できた？」など日本人はこのフレーズをよく使います。
また、「テストできた？」と友達に聞かれたことがありますか？このフレーズはテストが終わった後に友達同士でテストがうまくいったかどうかを聞き合う時によく使います。もし、みなさんが、「テストどうだった？できた？」と友達に聞かれたら、「けっこうできたよ」「あんまりできなかった」「全然できなかった」と答えることができます。
このふたつの「できた」も日本人が会話の中でよく使います。よかったら、私のレッスンに来て一緒に練習しましょう！
「できた」の他の使い方は「ジブリパークができた」というエピソードで説明しています。まだ聞いていない人はそちらも聞いてみてください。

準備：じゅんび　preparation
聞き合う：ききあう　ask each other
けっこうできた：It went pretty well
