N2 語彙　第4章1課

Before you enter the boardroom or HR's office you'll meet alot of people along the way. Will you be nice and say hi? Will you smile? Or you'll be thinking of your interview most of the time forgetting others around you?

What would you like others to feel about you? What impression do you want to make? If you smile, your shoes, your nails and your clothes were to communicate - what would they say about you?

What is the outcome you are going after?

These are some questions and a lot more are awaiting for you in the middle of the podcast and more to the end too. Listen in, take notes and apply it. They are simple but effective!

If you want my private 1-1 job interview preparation meetings - schedule them now.

See you tomorrow.

Job Interview Preparation | Build Strong Communication Under Pressure

Job Interview Preparation. Tip 7. Be Authentic, Positive, Genuine.

Transcripción:
Mi forma de aprender es kinestésica y tengo un gran superpoder procesar de manera profunda todo lo que perciben mis sentidos. Todo esto hace que tenga necesidades muy particulares y que lo convencional habitualmente no sea atractivo para mi. Estas características me exigen explorar nuevas formas de hacer las cosas y en lo referente a aprender un idioma he descubierto que necesito de mucha interacción humana, involucrarme en actividades de mi interés y que el aprendizaje sea práctico y se sienta ligero.

Mi forma de aprender

This is Mr. Watt, who appears in Minna no Nihongo. Can you pronounce his name correctly?
It’s Watt — not “Waa-to.”　わ and small つ, and と　ワット

This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don’t pronounce “Mr. Watt” perfectly, people can usually understand you. However, later on, you will encounter many similar words in the vocabulary, such as “kite,” “kitte,” “kaite,” and “katte.”

If you don’t handle this small tsu correctly, even Japanese people can often get confused.

Please try pronouncing it once: “Watt-san.”
Don’t forcefully stop your breath using your stomach, and don’t stop the air inside your mouth either. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying “Waa-to-san” again. Use your throat, stomach, and nostril evenly. It’s “Watt-san.”

OK, that’s all for today.
Do your best with your studies! Bye!
