L'espressione del giorno è: "fare due chiacchiere"

Un caffè con Chiara

Episodio 1: Un caffè con Chiara: perché questo titolo?

In the world of business, persuasion reigns supreme. It's not just about slick sales pitches; it's about influencing others to see your point of view, be it a client considering your product, a colleague on a new strategy, or an investor on your venture.

The core of persuasion lies in understanding your audience.  What are their needs, wants, and potential objections? By tailoring your message to address these concerns, you build trust and credibility.  Facts and figures are powerful, but framing them in a way that resonates with your audience is key.  Highlight how your product solves their pain points or your idea benefits their goals.

Different audiences respond to different persuasive tactics.  For analytical thinkers, data and research hold weight.  Emotional connectors, on the other hand, respond better to stories and testimonials that paint a vivid picture of the positive impact.

Remember, persuasion is a two-way street. Listen attentively to your audience's perspective. Acknowledge their concerns and address them directly.  This fosters a collaborative environment where they feel heard and respected, making them more receptive to your ideas.

Effective persuasion goes beyond mere words.  It's about non-verbal cues too. Confident body language, strong eye contact, and an enthusiastic tone project conviction and inspire trust.

Finally, persuasion is an ongoing process.  Be prepared to answer questions and provide additional information.  The goal is not to pressure, but to guide your audience towards a win-win situation.

By mastering the art of persuasion, you can become a powerful advocate for your ideas, your business, and yourself.

Franco Battiato: un viaggio nella musica dell'anima

Dir ist bestimmt aufgefallen, das Muttersprachler das „en“ stumm sagen. Es klingt weilweise wie verschluckt. Am besten lernst du die Aussprache mit -en wenn du genau an der Stelle, wo du -en sagen solltest, deinen Mund mit der Hand zumachst, oder mit deinen Fingern deine Lippen aneinanderpresst. Ich habe den Text mit dem Schwerpunkt en-Endungen einmal langsam, dann schneller vorgelesen. 

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitlesen:

Eines Morgens beschlossen die beiden Kinder, einen Drachen steigen zu lassen. Sie liefen zum Garten, um die Schnur zu holen. Mit freudigen Gesichtern begannen sie, den Drachen zusammenzubauen. Dann gingen sie auf die Wiese, wo der Wind die Bäume bewegte.

„Wir müssen ihn höher fliegen lassen!“, rief einer von ihnen. Gemeinsam hielten sie die Schnur fest, bis der Drachen tanzend in den Himmel stieg. Die Wolken schienen greifbar, die Vögel flogen davon.

Am Abend, nachdem die Sonne untergegangen war, saßen sie erschöpft am Feuer. „Das war ein unvergesslicher Tag!“, sagten beide, bevor sie zufrieden einschliefen.

IELTS Speaking - Grammar

Students regularly ask me, "How do I know what comes after a verb?" If a verb takes another verb as a complement, it is usually either a full infinitive or a gerund (e.g., "to do" or "doing").  Bare infinitives (e.g., "do") can only be complements for a small number of verbs, but these verbs are very common.  In this article, I take a look at some verbs that take bare infinitives as complements.
