No hace falta vivir experiencias muy intensas para ser feliz. Un paseo en la montaña, comida rica y buenas conversaciones son más que suficiente. Y, en México, hubo un día que tuve todo esto. Pero, además, también tuve... ¡MEZCAL! Desde entonces, mi bebida favorita.

You already speak English, but sounding natural is a different skill. Here's what most English learners miss (and how to start changing it).

Real English Skills

Why Your English Don't Sound Natural (Yet) 

In this episode of the ESL Learning Podcast, we delve into the fascinating world of computers. Computers have become an integral part of our lives, and being able to discuss them in English is essential. Whether you're a beginner or a pre-intermediate learner, this episode is designed to help you expand your vocabulary and confidently talk about computers in English.

Hosted by Louis, this informative episode begins by introducing key computer-related terms, such as computer, laptop, keyboard, mouse, monitor, internet, software, hardware, and email. Through repetition, you'll practice pronouncing these words to boost your fluency.

Next, Louis guides you through useful phrases to talk about computers. You'll learn how to answer the question, "Do you have a computer?" and respond with phrases like "Yes, I have a computer." Furthermore, you'll practice using the phrase "I use my computer for..." followed by specific activities like emailing, gaming, or studying.

Expanding on this, Louis teaches you to express preferences by saying "I prefer [software/program]" to describe your favorite software or program. For instance, "I prefer using Photoshop for editing photos." This phrase allows you to discuss your preferred tools confidently.

Additionally, Louis introduces the phrase "Can you help me with my computer?" to assist you in seeking help with computer-related issues. Understanding basic troubleshooting vocabulary like "restart," "update," or "install" will also prove valuable.

By the end of this episode, you'll have expanded your computer-related vocabulary and gained the confidence to discuss computers in English. Remember to practice using these phrases in your conversations and seek assistance when needed. Tune in to the ESL Learning Podcast and embark on an exciting journey of improving your English skills while exploring the world of computers. Happy learning!

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は日本でのコンビニでのやり取り、について話します。
今日のレッスンで、日本のコンビニでの会話の話をしました。店員さんからたくさん質問されると困りますね。

ということで、だいたいどんなことを聞かれるか、言われるかをお話します。

その後に、こんなふうに答えたらいいですよ、というのもお話しします。

買う物をレジに持って行きます。

いらっしゃいませ
　ー店員さんが商品をスキャンします
会計はいくらです
　ー会計が画面に出ます
会計は何にされますか？(お支払い方法は？)
　ー現金、クレジットカード、交通系、電子マネーなどがあります
おにぎり、お弁当あたためますか？
　ーはい、お願いします/大丈夫です。あたためなくていいです。
レジ袋入りますか？
　ーはい、ください(有料になります)/大丈夫です。いらないです。
お手拭き入りますか？
　ーはい、ください(無料です)/大丈夫です。いらないです。
ありがとうございます。またお越しくださいませ！


こんな感じですね。
行ったことがある人はそうそう！という感じですかね。
わかっていても早口で言われると少しあせりますね。

聞かれることは、さっき話したようなことぐらいですので、あせらずに、1つずつ答えると良いと思います。

日本じゃないと日本語を実際に使う時は少ないと思います。
ですので、ぜひチャレンジしてみてくださいね！

ということで、最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
