Paul reads the book he got from his parents. He doesn't find out why it’s valuable, and how valuable it is. He doubts the book will add style to his apartment. But his parents are right: he has no girlfriend. Paul is looking for a date and checks ‚Finder‘ profiles. Which girl does Paul like? Will she show interest?

Why we made German Stories
We felt that the best way to learn German is NOT using the old style teaching material with chapters full of tiny texts and unrelated stories. Our idea was to spoon-feed you German in very small bits. And to tell you parts of one big story at the same time. An awesome, full-blown story with different storylines that continues throughout all lessons. We wanted to keep you motivated and say "I can't wait to find out what happens next episode!"

Let's have a Conversation

Introduction

Employers increasingly seek candidates with strong upskilling capabilities, particularly in the realm of impromptu speaking.  This refers to the ability to deliver well-structured, persuasive messages with little to no preparation.  This skillset can be a significant differentiator in interviews, meetings, and networking events.

Let's look into the upskilling process for impromptu speaking. Firstly, fostering a strong foundation in business acumen is crucial.  A comprehensive understanding of industry trends, financial literacy, and marketing principles allows you to speak with authority on relevant topics during impromptu exchanges.  Furthermore, honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills equips you to analyze situations quickly and formulate concise, impactful responses.

Secondly, active listening is essential.  Pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal cues from your audience during impromptu interactions. This enables you to tailor your message accordingly, fostering deeper connections and demonstrating genuine interest in their perspectives.

Thirdly, practice is key.  While formal presentations require meticulous planning, impromptu speaking thrives on consistent exercise.  Engage in discussions with colleagues, participate in mock interviews, or join public speaking clubs.  Record yourself delivering impromptu presentations on various business topics and analyze the recordings to identify areas for improvement.

Finally, cultivate a growth mindset.  Embrace challenges and view every unexpected speaking opportunity as a learning experience.  Focus on clear and concise communication, avoiding jargon and filler words.  Organize your thoughts using frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to deliver impactful narratives.

By upskilling in impromptu speaking, you equip yourself with a valuable asset in the professional arena.
