<TRANSCRIPT>
日本の家庭には必ずバスタブがあり、毎日お湯を入れて浸かる人が多いです。
でも、私の家にはバスタブがないので、最近まで毎日シャワーだけでした。
でも、ドイツの冬は長く、寒いので、お風呂に入れないのはとても辛いです。
だから、このお風呂をアマゾンで見つけて買いました。
このお風呂はビニールでできていて、空気を入れて使います。
使わないときは空気を抜いて小さく折りたたんで、置いておくことができます。
お風呂に入ると、下半身が温まるのでうれしいです。
このお風呂の欠点はお湯がすぐにぬるくなることです。
みなさんはお風呂に入るのが好きですか？

Les jours de la semaine

In the episode "How to Remember Any English Word," Teacher Smith emphasizes the importance of feeling confident while speaking English. They suggest that confidence is key to remembering words easily and provide a simple way to boost confidence instantly. Teacher Smith illustrates the concept by comparing it to rescuing a little girl from a pool, highlighting the idea that the value you bring to a conversation is more significant than any fear you may have.

The episode advises against focusing too much on fears, such as pronunciation or translating phrases, during conversations, as it can lead to forgetting words. Instead, Teacher Smith encourages listeners to focus on listening actively, as simply being present in a conversation is valuable. Additionally, they reassure listeners that making mistakes is natural, even for native speakers, and emphasize the importance of relaxing and letting speech flow naturally.

Overall, the episode offers two key points for speaking confidently: valuing participation in conversations and embracing imperfection. By prioritizing these principles, listeners can boost their confidence in speaking English.

HOW TO Remember ANY ENGLISH Word

American interviewers want to hear precise, simple, and clear answers. They don’t want to hear rambling or layered communication. Australians, Canadians, and Germans appreciate this communication style too.

On the other hand, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese interviewers are more likely to appreciate sophisticated, nuanced, and layered communication styles. 

In this episode, we dive into communication styles by nationality, and you’ll learn how to prepare for an interview with a hiring manager who expects concise answers.

If you’re accustomed to talking at length and rambling, modifying your communication style will take some effort. But, it’s possible if you follow the seven tips outlined in the episode. 

In this episode, you’ll also hear an example of a concise answer to the interview question, what would you do if you knew your boss was wrong about something?
