What does confronting death, freedom, and the meaning of life have to do with learning Spanish? 🧠💀

Everything.

Most language advice focuses on the how. But what about the why that lies beneath it all?

In Episode 104 of 111 Tips for Learning a Language, we dive deep into Existential Therapy to explore how facing life's biggest questions can unlock your most powerful learning potential. Discover how to:

• 🗽 Embrace the freedom and responsibility of being the author of your language journey
• 🌉 Use language to bridge our fundamental human isolation and achieve real connection
• 🎨 Create meaning out of arbitrary grammar and vocabulary, making your practice profoundly personal
• ⏳ Harness the awareness of your finite time to fuel a powerful, productive urgency

This isn't just about learning to speak. It's about learning to live more fully through your target language.

We explore how the principles of Existential Therapy can transform language learning from a mere academic task into a profound journey of personal growth. By confronting life's core "givens"—freedom, isolation, meaninglessness, and mortality—this episode reveals how you can harness existential anxiety to fuel your progress. Learn how to take radical responsibility for your learning, find deep connection through communication, create personal meaning, and leverage the urgency of your finite time to become a more authentic and courageous speaker.

Align with Job Description: Questions should target specific competencies identified in the job description.
Use Action Verbs: Focus on actions taken (e.g., "developed," "implemented," "negotiated").
Focus on Specific Situations: Prompt for concrete examples, avoiding vague inquiries like "Tell me about a time you worked under pressure." Instead, ask, "Describe a situation where a tight deadline required prioritizing tasks effectively."
The STAR Method:

The STAR method provides a framework for candidates to structure their responses to behavioral questions:

Situation: Briefly describe the context and challenges faced.
Task: Explain your specific role and responsibilities in the situation.
Action: Detail the specific actions you took to address the challenge.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions, quantifying achievements if possible.
Beyond Technical Skills:

Behavioral interviewing goes beyond technical skills, offering insights into:

Problem-Solving Approach: Explore how the candidate tackled challenges, revealing their thought process and analytical abilities.

Communication Style: Pay attention to clarity, conciseness, and ability to articulate ideas effectively.
Work Style: Understand if the candidate thrives in independent or collaborative environments.
Benefits and Best Practices:

Reduced Bias: Focusing on past actions minimizes the influence of unconscious bias based on appearance or background.

Increased Predictability: Understanding past performance in similar situations improves the likelihood of future success.

Deeper Candidate Evaluation: Behavioral questions move beyond a resume, revealing a more holistic picture of the candidate's capabilities.

Best practices:

Develop a set of behavioral questions for each role to ensure consistency.

Pay close attention to the candidate's use of the STAR method and probe for further details.

Evaluate responses across candidates using a consistent scoring rubric.

Behavioral Interview Questions - Best Practices - Episode 71

Éste, queridos amigos, es un episodio diferente a los demás. Porque hoy voy a hablar sobre nuestro camino financiero, un tema que nos atañe a todos, independientemente de nuestra cultura.  

Tanto los gurúes financieros como los libros que tratan sobre este tema, remarcan constantemente la necesidad de rodearse de gente con objetivos afines a los nuestros. Y esto implica, muchas veces, alejarnos un poco de nuestro entorno. Resulta coherente, ¿verdad? Uno siempre termina pareciéndose al promedio de las personas con las que más se relaciona. 

Por lo tanto, si nosotros deseamos cambiar nuestra realidad financiera, necesitamos un contexto acorde para lograrlo. Por ejemplo, una persona obesa que desea alimentarse mejor, no asistirá a una reunión con amigos a una pastelería. De este modo, debemos buscar grupos de gente con la que podamos compartir nuestro aprendizaje y experiencia financieros a fin de nutrirnos mutuamente. Podemos comenzar con nuestras redes sociales, buscar webinars, pequeños cursos que se ajusten a nuestro nivel, participar de masterminds, y obviamente, dedicarnos a leer un buen libro cada tanto sobre nuestro tema de interés. 

De esta forma, lograremos transformar progresivamente nuestros pensamientos, lo que nos permitirá acercarnos cada vez más a nuestro objetivo financiero. 

Y como dijo Menandro de Atenas alguna vez, “Bienaventurado el que tiene talento y dinero, porque empleará bien este último”.
