Cuando escuchas acentos del idioma español, seguramente te haces preguntas como: ¿es mejor algún acento del idioma español para aprender? ¿El acento se adquiere de forma voluntaria o hay que trabajarlo? ¿Es posible perder mi acento cuando aprendo español? ¿Por qué se nos pegan los acentos? Estas y otras preguntas intentaremos responderlas aquí.

Many leaders struggle to strike the balance between friendliness and firmness. One client, let's call her Sarah, excelled in collaboration but found her team didn't take her directives seriously. Her challenge? Assertive communication.

Over 12 weeks, we embarked on a journey to transform Sarah's communication style. Our bi-weekly coaching sessions (Mondays for planning, Fridays for review) provided structure and accountability. Here's how we achieved results:

Unveiling the Power of "I" Statements:  Instead of accusatory "you" statements ("You always miss deadlines!"), we practiced "I" statements ("I feel frustrated when deadlines are missed"). This shifted the focus to the impact on Sarah and the team, fostering collaboration.

Body Language Bootcamp:  Nonverbal cues speak volumes. We practiced confident posture, strong eye contact, and clear gestures. Standing tall while giving instructions and mirroring team members' positive body language fostered a sense of mutual respect.

The Art of the Pause:  Sarah often rushed through instructions, leaving room for confusion. We mastered the power of the pause. Strategic pauses after key points allowed information to sink in and empowered team members to ask clarifying questions.

Innovation in Role-Playing:  Traditional role-playing can feel awkward. We gamified the process, creating scenarios based on Sarah's real-life situations. This playful approach allowed Sarah to experiment with assertive language in a safe space, boosting her confidence.

Celebrating Small Wins:  Progress wasn't always linear. We celebrated even minor victories, like delivering a firm but respectful instruction. Acknowledging her achievements fueled Sarah's motivation and helped her stay on track.

The Result? Measurable Change: Within three months, Sarah's communication transformed. Team meetings became more focused, deadlines were met consistently, and her leadership presence flourished.

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。


今日からN2です！
ちょっとむずかしくなりますが、テキストを見れるように書いているので、目で読みながら、聞いてみてください！

今回は、
〜以上、をやります！
これは、〜なのだから、当然ーというような話をしたい時に使います。


・すると決めた以上、引き返すことはできない

・いきたかった大学に合格した以上、勉強をがんばりたい

・日本語教師の試験に受かった以上、自信を持って教えたい

・海外に住むことにした以上、持っているものを手放さないといけない

・言った以上、自分はちゃんとやらないとね


こんな感じですね！
どうでしょうか。

むずかしく聞こえるかもしれないですが、N3 ーからには、もよく似ている表現ですね。

言ったからにはー、みたいな感じですね！

いつも言っていますが、声に出して一緒に練習しましょう！
それから、例文も作ってみましょう！

ぼくもよく使う文法です。
日本人もリアルに使います。

ぜひ例文作ってみて、ぼくのオンラインレッスンで一緒に練習しましょう！

7月に入ってから、ぼくのオンラインレッスンは少しへっているので、時間はあります！笑

みなさんからの予約、お待ちしていますねー。


ということで、今回も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！
