When your car stops working, it’s not just having a bad day; it’s had a "breakdown"

But hey, it happens to people too! When you’re totally stressed out

and start crying in the grocery store because they’re out of your favourite ice cream flavour
that’s a "breakdown" too!

But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Whether it’s your car or your emotions, just remember:

we all break down sometimes. But please, try not to do it over ice cream flavour .

See you next time, hopefully in one piece!

Imagine being asked this question in an interview, do you have our DNA? 

It's so strange that it'll make most people feel ackward since they've never heard of this question, right? 

Take you for example, what would you say to a question like this? Will you lose face and be out of words or..?

I help my students to find the right words and I talk about it in today's recording. Jump into it.

You can read Harvard's article on the DNA's topic here if you'd like to have a further research into this topic: 

https://hbr.org/2008/02/whats-your-companys-dna

Real DNA contains genetic information about how we look and behave, and it also defines what makes us different from each other

On the other hand,  a brands DNA is not an advertising slogan or a statement coined for the purposes of positioning. Since it is the center of all brand-building efforts, it should convey a strategic message! 

If you'll spot it in your research and will communicate about it in your interview heavily - you'll set yourself apart from the competition!

Come of my 1-1 training and we'll dive deep into preparing you for success in a job interview or any spoken English related endevoir!

Do you have our DNA? Imagine you are asked this question on a job interview?

Bir öğretmen gemiye binmiş. Gemiciye, “Sen hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okudun mu?” diye sormuş. Gemici “Hayır, daha önce hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okumadım.” diye cevap vermiş. Bunun üzerine öğretmen, gemiciye “Ömrünün yarısı mahvolmuş.” demiş.
Gemici çok sinirlenmiş, kalbi kırılmış ama öğretmene hiçbir şey söylememiş. Bir süre sonra büyük bir fırtına çıkmış, fırtına sebebiyle gemi çok sallanmış. Gemici, öğretmene “Sen yüzme biliyor musun?” diye sormuş. Öğretmen, “Hayır, yüzme bilmiyorum.” demiş. O zaman gemici, öğretmene şunları söylemiş: Şimdi senin ömrünün tamamı mahvoldu. Çünkü gemi biraz sonra batacak!

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that:
Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Let’s break this down in a way that applies to language acquisition. Imagine that:
•	One “mass” is you, the learner.
•	The other “mass” is the language you are trying to learn.
•	The “force” is the attraction or motivation pulling you toward fluency.
•	The “distance” is how far you currently are from using the language fluently and comfortably.
