We all do it regardless of knowing that it's often counterproductive and can put us in a bad mood or lead to us feeling insecure....no matter what the gurus tell you and their advice to NOT do it we just cannot help ourselves. 

This episode offers my take on this everyday phenomenon. I welcome you to share your opinion in the comments section.

Each language has it's own way to pronunciate and express what you want to say. To express your thoughts. So in order to achieve that we a have one of the most beautiful tools within our body, the voice. The voice is a result of breathing, vocal cords and the mouth system. Muscles outer and inner ones, tongue, teeth and airflow basically. So if you want to pronunciate correctly from one language to another you just need to become aware and imitate the same movements.
How?
In fron of a mirror
read a list ow words in your own language and in the language you want to learn.
slowly pronunciate your words and the new words.
Become aware of the movements you give for granted and the new movements.
Feel your mouth.

It is a process where you need to slow down form any of your rush from the day. A chance to know better and a kind of mindful meditation as well. So many things to be grateful! Just play with it and with patience you are going to talk even better than me..

Yes but how do I know the new movements and how they sounds?
Listen to my podcast and search on videos that are showing you the mouth sounds, or simpler follow my simple method. Repeat!

List to use:

Ramarro (RRRRR, ramaRRo) - green lizard
palazzo (TSO, palaTSO) - building
colletto (Tstrong, colleTTO) - collar, white collar
coraggio (JJYO, coraJJYO) - courage
possibile Slong - SSSSSnake) - possible
tetto (Tstrong, teTTO) - roof
doppio (Pstrong, doPPYO) - double
pallone (Lstrong, paLLone) - ball

SituaZIONE (situaTSYOne) - situation

You can do it!

第２３課　むだ 2/3

Believe me; you want to hear the job interview question, "Why should we hire you?" It's your chance to cut through the noise and tell them exactly what is unique about you.

While you cannot possibly know other applicants' qualifications, you can sell yourself to the best of your ability, stating the things that would make you really great at the job, and convincing the hiring manager you're ready to hit the ground running

In this episode, we’ll quickly revisit your three goals in every job interview, since these goals will influence every answer and every interaction you have during the interview. You’ll then learn why employers ask, “Why should we hire you?”, hear how one of my clients who got a job offer answered the question, and get tips on how to answer it. You'll land your dream job in no time!
