In this podcast, I talk about how to stop someone from talking when you don't catch something that they said, and ask them to repeat.

한국어 발음 연습 "경음화"

昨日、新宿へ電車で行きました。朝8時ぐらいの電車はとても混んでいました。コロナ前と変わらない混（こ）み具合（ぐあい）でした。以前のような日常生活が戻って来たのかなと感じました。
新宿へ行った理由は、私の生徒さんと会うためです。初めて対面（たいめん）で会いました。でも、オンラインでいつも会っていたので、初めて会う感覚（かんかく）ではありませんでした。
コロナにも負けず、日本に留学に来た彼女たちはとてもたくましく見えました。
彼女たちと私では、世代（せだい）も国籍（こくせき）も違います。彼女たちが目にする、そして感じる日本の印象がとても興味深いです。
私がイギリスに留学していたころは、インターネットを通して語学を勉強する時代ではありませんでした。留学していたころは、英語が分からず必死（ひっし）でした。英語だけではなく、教科の勉強について行くことも大変でした。授業は対面授業にディスカッションと当時の私にはハードな内容でした。なので、常（つね）に録音機（ろくおんき）を持ち歩いていました。同じ学科（がっか）の友人にも教えてもらうことが多かったです。英語もラングエージ・インスティテュートに何度も通い、エッセイの原稿（げんこう）を修正（しゅうせい）してもらったり、プレゼンの英語を聞いてもらったりとほんと必死だったことを思い出しました。
コロナの影響で、留学生活も一変（いっぺん）しました。でも、オンラインを通して新たな出会いができる時代になったように思います。そして、italkiのようなオンライン語学学習を通して驚（おどろ）くほど上手（じょうず）に日本語が話せる生徒さんにも最近（さいきん）出会（であ）いました。日本にいなくても、こんなにも上手（じょうず）に日本語が話せるようになるのかと驚（おどろ）きました。
Ｚ世代（せだい）はＳＮＳの使い方もとても上手です。ＳＮＳあっての、ＳＮＳありきのコミュニケーションになっています。
彼女たちの日本での留学生活は、インターネットをコミュニケーションのツールとして使いつつ、日本の空気も存分（ぞんぶん）に吸ってほしいと私は願っています。そしてまた、会いたいな。

How To Positively Influence A Hiring Manager?


There are various way you can do so. Here is an answer from internet: 

"The best way to influence candidates as a recruiter is by effectively communicating the value proposition of the organization, actively listening to their needs and aspirations, building strong relationships, and providing personalized solutions that align with their interests and career goals."

IIn my podcast I covered something else - the mental world of yours and what do you do to prepare for the 'project' mentally. Here is an anwer from the internet:

 "Another tool you can use to mentally prepare is to visualize the interview going well. Instead of picturing yourself not knowing answers to questions or stumbling over your words, take time to imagine answering each question perfectly. Imagine that you are not nervous and your confidence shines to the interviewer."

I talk about a different thing instead - the attitude you carry with you about who you are and what you can deliver and from this perspective you speaj/answer recruiter's questions.

Dive deeper into my podcast and pick whats relevant, what resonates and what you can use to succeed as its my only intention for you!

Good luck.

EP 14. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN "SER" AND "ESTAR"

MARGARET: Mr. Wilson, I’d like you to meet 
Dr. Edward Smith.
MR. WILSON: It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Smith.
DR. SMITH: Pleasure to meet you, too.
MARGARET: Dr. Smith is an economist. He just finished
writing a book on international trade.
MR. WILSON: Oh? That’s my field, too. I work for the 
United Nations.
DR. SMITH: In the Development Program, by any chance?
MR. WILSON: Yes. How did you guess?
DR. SMITH: I’ve read your articles on technical assistance. 
They’re excellent

LANGUAGE NOTES
• Mr. Wilson, I’d like you … Notice the rising intonation on “Mr. Wilson,” which is used 
to address someone. Listen for the “d” in “I’d like.” This means I would like, which is 
very different from I like. (“I’d like” means the same as “I would like” or “I want.”)
• Dr. Smith is an economist. Notice the stress on “economist.” This content word has 
new information, so it is emphasized. There are four syllables in “economist,” with the 
stress on the second syllable (e-CON-o-mist).
• He just finished writing … “just” means the very recent past. “Just” is usually used 
with a simple past verb because the action is complete. However, it can also be used 
with the present perfect (He’s just finished writing …).
• Development program. Since these two words make a compound noun, the main 
stress falls on “development.”
• By any chance? Means the same as “possibly.” Notice the rising intonation, which is 
used in yes/no questions to confirm that something is true.
