En este episodio, continuación de los dos anteriores, hablamos del CHOQUE CULTURAL, o cultural shock que vivimos cuando viajamos.
Cuando nos enfrentamos a otras culturas muy diferentes a la nuestra podemos experimentar muchas cosas, algunas muy positivas como curiosidad, ganas de interactuar con otras personas y aprender; u otras un tanto negativas, como rechazo o abrumación.
¿Experimentaste un choque cultural antes?

Yo si! Hablemos un poco de esto, ¿estás listo/a?

According to LinkedIn's 2023 Workplace Learning Report, a staggering 94% of employees feel the need to continuously learn and adapt to thrive in their careers. This underscores the critical importance of proactive measures to mitigate job insecurity.

Business coaching is a powerful tool to deal with these challenges and enhance job security. By providing personalized guidance and support, business coaches help individuals develop the needed skills, mindset, and strategies.

A Harvard Business Review study found that employees with access to coaching are 87% more likely to achieve their goals. Coaches can identify skill gaps and create tailored development plans to enhance employability. By acquiring new skills and competencies, individuals become more adaptable and valuable to employers.

A clear career path is essential for job security. Coaches can assist in defining career goals and creating a roadmap to achieve them. 

LinkedIn data reveals that professionals with clear career paths are 30% more likely to be satisfied with their jobs.

Coaches offer mentorship and support, providing guidance on navigating organizational changes, building relationships, and overcoming challenges. 

A recent LinkedIn survey reported that 72% of employees believe mentorship is crucial for career advancement.

Through coaching, individuals can develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to change. 

A study published in the Journal of Management found that resilient employees are less likely to experience job insecurity.

Coaches help individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations. This self-awareness empowers them to make informed career decisions. 

LinkedIn data shows that employees with strong self-awareness are more likely to secure promotions and higher salaries.


A Gallup study found that engaged employees are 43% less likely to leave their jobs.

006 Exploring American Dialects (Part One)

Niby prosta odpowiedź, a tak wiele można o tym powiedzieć.

Rozmawiamy po czesku

Jak po czesku "chleb"?

Beginner Chinese Listening：圣诞节  Christmas

Beginner Chinese Listening

HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Hi, there. How can I help you?
CLAIRE: Well, I’m in town visiting for a few days, and I 
need to get some things done while I’m here.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: Sure. What do you need?
CLAIRE: I need to get my hair cut. I also need to have my
new pants hemmed.
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: OK. Here’s a map of the city. There’s a good hair 
salon here, which is just a block away. And there’s 
a tailor right here. Is there anything else?
CLAIRE: Yes. I’ll need to have my car serviced before my
long drive home!
HOTEL RECEPTIONIST: No problem. There’s a good mechanic a few 
blocks away.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, there. Notice the intonation in this greeting. It rises after “Hi” and falls after “there.”
• Sure is a friendly expression to mean “OK.”
• Get my hair cut / have my new pants hemmed / have my car serviced. Notice get/
have + object + participle. This structure is used to describe actions that someone else 
does for us. “Get” and “have” are interchangeable here.
• Is there anything else? here means “Do you need more information?”
• Before my long drive home! Notice the emphasis and intonation on “home.” The 
speaker wants to show humor here. If she doesn’t get her car checked, she might not get 
home! She wants to be friendly and light with the receptionist.
• No problem here means “Don’t worry.” Notice the stress on “No.” The receptionist 
laughs first, then puts emphasis on “No” by lengthening the word. This shows that she 
understands the car could break down if it doesn’t get serviced

English Conversation practice (30-day challenge)

Day 15: Running errands 

挨拶（あいさつ）
英語: "greeting"
スペイン語: "saludo"
ドイツ語: "Begrüßung"
タイ語: "การทักทาย"

質問（しつもん）
英語: "question"
スペイン語: "pregunta"
ドイツ語: "Frage"
タイ語: "คำถาม"

誘（さそ）う
英語: "to invite"
スペイン語: "invitar"
ドイツ語: "einladen"
タイ語: "ชวน/เชิญ"

みなさんの国（くに）でどんなあいさつをしますか？
日本で「ひさしぶり！げんきだった？」や「おお！」「やっほー！」などと言ったりします。
私はタイ語を勉強しています。タイ人はよく「もうごはん食べた？」とききます。日本人がその質問（しつもん）をされたら、「いっしょにごはんをたべませんか？」とさそわれているとおもいます。あいさつのちがいはおもしろいですね。
