Episode 7 : Learn Turkish Health Vocabulary

Hey, how are you? I hope you are well. I'm Milo, Spanish tutor at italki, and today we are going to talk about some typical Colombian dishes. These dishes reflect the rich variety of flavors and traditions of our regions. Let's discover them!

Arepa: La arepa es uno de los platos más emblemáticos de Colombia. Hecha a base de maíz, la arepa puede ser acompañada con diferentes ingredientes como queso, carne, huevo o mantequilla. Cada región tiene su versión. Ejemplo: "En Antioquia, la arepa es más gruesa, mientras que en la Costa Caribe es más delgada."

Ajiaco: Este es un caldo típico de Bogotá. Está compuesto por pollo, papas, maíz, guasca (una hierba colombiana) y se sirve con arroz, aguacate y alcaparras. Es un plato reconfortante, ideal para días fríos. Ejemplo: "El ajiaco es un plato tradicional de la capital, Bogotá."

Bandeja Paisa: Es un plato completo y abundante, característico de la región del Valle de Aburrá. Incluye arroz, frijoles, carne molida, chicharrón (panceta frita), arepa, aguacate, huevo frito, y plátano maduro. Ejemplo: "La bandeja paisa es un plato lleno de sabor y energía."

Sancocho: Este plato se sirve en muchas regiones de Colombia y varía dependiendo de los ingredientes. Por lo general, se prepara con carne de res, pollo o pescado, y se acompaña con yuca, plátano, papa y mazorca. Ejemplo: "El sancocho es perfecto para compartir en familia."

Empanadas: Las empanadas colombianas son rellenas de carne, pollo, o incluso queso, y se fríen hasta quedar crujientes. Se sirven con salsa de ají. Ejemplo: "Las empanadas son un excelente aperitivo para cualquier reunión."

SMART Goals for Active Listening:

Specific: Don't just aim to "listen better."  Define the context.  For example, "During contract negotiations with [client name], I will actively listen to identify their key concerns."

Measurable:  How will you track your progress?  "I will summarize key concerns after each discussion point and ask clarifying questions to ensure 80% accuracy in reflecting their needs."

Attainable: Be realistic.  Start by focusing on one aspect of active listening. Gradually incorporate more techniques as you progress.

Relevant: Ensure your goals align with the negotiation's objectives. "By actively listening, I aim to build trust, uncover potential areas of compromise, and reach a win-win agreement."

Time-bound:  Set a timeframe for achieving your goal.  "I will implement these active listening strategies throughout the negotiation process, which is expected to last for [duration]."

Active Listening Techniques for SMART Goals:

Nonverbal Cues: "I will maintain eye contact, avoid crossed arms, and nod to show understanding." (Measurable through self-awareness)
Clarifying Questions: "I will ask open-ended questions like 'Can you elaborate on that?' to ensure comprehension." (Measurable by tracking the number of questions asked)
Summarizing: "After each discussion point, I will summarize key concerns to confirm understanding and identify potential areas of agreement." (Measurable by accuracy of summaries)

Benefits of SMART Active Listening Goals:

Reduced Misunderstandings: Clear communication allows you to address the other party's true concerns, leading to smoother negotiations.
Building Trust: Active listening shows respect and genuine interest in finding common ground.
Identifying Opportunities: By truly understanding the other party's needs, you can uncover potential compromises or alternative solutions.
Increased Confidence: A clear understanding of the situation empowers you to negotiate effectively.
