ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP: TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET (B2-C1)

In todays episode we discuss dogs, why do we have them as pets? As well as "why do we love them?"

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 32: "Dogs, and why we love them"


The boardroom. A crucial client meeting. A high-stakes sales call. These scenarios demand clear and confident communication. Here are five best practices to elevate your language and project unwavering self-belief:

Power Verbs:  Replace wishy-washy verbs with action-oriented ones. Instead of saying, "We could explore this new marketing strategy," say, "We will implement this data-driven strategy to boost brand awareness by 20%." This injects decisiveness and ownership into your message.

Be Specific:  Unspecific claims lack impact.  Instead of "Our product is the best," showcase its strengths with data. Say, "Our software boasts a 98% customer satisfaction rate and a 25% reduction in processing time compared to competitors." Specifics build trust and credibility.

Direct Address: Engage your audience directly. Ditch phrases like "I think" or "in my opinion." Say, "We can deliver this project on time and within budget." This conveys authority and ownership of your ideas.

Positive Framing: Focus on the strengths of your solutions.  Instead of, "This plan might have a tight deadline," say, "This fast-track approach allows for agility and capitalizes on current market trends." Highlighting positives reassures and motivates your audience.

Conciseness is Key: Eliminate unnecessary words and filler phrases.  Instead of, "We believe that this approach might be a good way to proceed," say, "We propose this solution to achieve optimal results." Concise communication delivers a clear message and maximizes impact.

I use confident language every day with my clients. I also use it with family, friends and any chance I get. Many of us use language that is unclear or passive habitually, without intent or purpose. 

One of the first habits I work on with my clients is the overuse of - I think, maybe, and I don't know. 

Start being aware of the phrases that you use, especially at the beginning and end of your sentences.

ep5. You Need More Than a Good Teacher

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

ぼくの日常生活の話を聞くことで、日本語のリスニングをよくしたり、新しい言葉を知ってもらえたらいいなと思います。

今日は、オンラインレッスンで日本語を練習する時に意識すると良いと思うことを話します。

ぼくはオンラインで日本語を教えています。
毎回言っていますけど、italkiというプラットフォームで教えています。

その一方で、ぼくは英語のレッスンを受けています。
これもitalkiで受けています。

この経験をふまえて、今日は、語学習得の時、会話で意識すると良いと思うことについて話します。

・話したいトピックを持っておく
・質問したいトピックを持っておく
・いつもは人にあまり言わないようなことを話してみる

今日は1つ目だけ話します。

・話したいトピックを持っておく

もちろん、話したいトピックがないのは悪いことではないです。ですが、1つトピックがあると、先生はそれを広げてくれます。

例えば旅行に行きます、というトピックだったら、
・どこに行きますか？
・いつ行きますか？
・どれぐらい(何日ぐらい)行きますか？
・どうやって行きますか？
・だれと行きますか？
・なぜそこに決めましたか？

など先生が聞いてくれます。
その内容によって、さらに広げることができます。

例えば、
今度、日本に行きます。
ー日本のどこに行きますか？
ーなぜそこを選んだんですか？
ー他に行きたいところはありますか？

など。

そうやって話はどんどん広がります。
そして、みなさんが日本語を練習する機会が増えますね。

だけど、もし、話したいトピックがなくて、先生からのトピックが好きじゃなかったら、話はあまり広がらないですね。

そうすると、みなさんが日本語を話す機会が減ります。
それはもったいないことですね。


ぼくはオンラインレッスンで、できるだけみなさんが話してもらいたいと思っています。限られた時間でできるだけたくさん話した方が間違いに気づく機会も増えます。反対にいい表現ができることも増えます。


そんなことから、ぜひオンラインレッスンを受ける時は、1つ自分が話したいトピックを持ってみてください。

今まで以上に楽しいレッスンになると思います。

ぼくも英語や、今はトルコ語の勉強をがんばっています！
一緒に日本語の勉強もがんばりましょう！



ということで、今回は以上です。
また続きはなしますね。

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！
