Japanese teacher Noriko’s room

(Verb タ形）+ ばかり 

Jaksaa, jaksaa vai jaksaako? Tässä viidennessä jaksossa pureudun henkilökohtaisempaan aiheeseen miettiessäni jaksamista uuden kielen opiskelutaipaleella. Kieltä opiskeltaessa on hyvä pitää taukoja ja antaa aivojen levätä. Miten itse jaksoin opiskella venäjää ja miten kieliopintoni Venäjällä meni? Kerron myös omista toimittajakokemuksistani ulkosuomalaisessa sanomalehdessä ja miltä tuntui työskennellä venäjänkielisessä ympäristössä.

Suomea for you

5. jakso: Jaksaminen

1.  Respond truthfully to the questions asked

While it can seem tempting to embellish your skills and accomplishments, interviewers find honesty refreshing and respectable. Focus on your key strengths and why your background makes you uniquely qualified for the position.

2.  Tie answers to your skills and accomplishments
With any interview question you answer, tie your background to the job by providing examples of solutions and results you’ve achieved in your career so far. Use every opportunity to address the requirements listed in the job description.

3. Keep your answers concise and focused
Remember: Your time with each interviewer is limited so be mindful of rambling answers. Practicing your answers beforehand can help keep you focused.

Ciao, buongiorno, buon lunedì primo giorno di luglio.
Non volevo fare il podcast questa settimana, ma poi non ho resistito.
E semplicemente ho inziato a parlare.
E questo è il risultato.
Non c’è la trascrizione.
Non ci sono esercizi.
Per un momento mi sono sentita una speaker radiofonica.
Ma ci sono delle espressioni carine - “NON FATE I VAGHI”.
E la nuova parola è NEGHITTAGGINE.
Vi abbraccio virtualmente tutti e so che festeggerete un po’ con me.
