Music, food, customs, traditions, dance, language, and many more form a culture. The list can keep going, but new cultures can be overwhelming. That's why the cultural shocks. So? What do we do with all the information?

The Age of Humans

Episode 2: How to Process the Cultural Input

Our personal beliefs are powerful beyond measure and often dictate our outcomes. They can work for or against us.
Identify your limiting beliefs so you can push against them.

This is the Anyone Can Learn English podcast, episode #47

My name is Spencer and I’m an English conversation teacher. 

For English Conversation lessons, you can find me on Italki.com/spenceramansick 

This podcast is a weekly collection of my student questions and answers or (Q&A). Some Q&A may repeat. 

Today, we are covering 5 topics:

• Keep in touch/ keep in contact
• Bumping into
• Bark & bark
• Urgent & emergency 
• Stocktaking & taking stock  

- - REVIEW - -

It is easy to KEEP IN TOUCH with my friend, when I always BUMP INTO them walking their dog who loves URGENTLY BARKING at me every weekend.

My job is a stock investor and my hobby is hiking.  Last weekend after my last STOCK TAKING of the day, I ended up in the EMERGENCY room after a tree fell on my leg. I told the doctor the tree BARK scratched my skin, but the x-ray showed a broken bone. The doctor insisted to KEEP IN CONTACT if I experience new pain and to stay in the hospital for URGENT care.

Thank you for your time!

Please contact me for a copy of today’s script or video.

How Being Consistent Helps

SMART Goals for Active Listening:
Here are some examples of SMART goals you can set to improve your active listening skills:

1. Improve comprehension in work meetings:

Specific: I will actively listen during all team meetings by summarizing key points after each agenda item.
Measurable: I will track the number of times I summarize key points and the accuracy of my summaries based on colleague feedback.
Attainable: I will start by summarizing after one agenda item per meeting, then gradually increase to all items over a month.
Relevant: Improved comprehension will lead to better participation and decision-making in meetings.
Time-bound: I will implement this for the next 3 months and evaluate progress then.
2. Enhance communication with family:

Specific: I will practice active listening with my partner by reflecting back their emotions and using open-ended questions during evening conversations.
Measurable: My partner will provide feedback on whether they feel heard and understood by my responses.
Attainable: I will focus on actively listening during one conversation per evening for the next two weeks.
Relevant: Improved communication will strengthen my relationship with my partner.
Time-bound: I will practice this for two weeks and then discuss adjustments with my partner.
3. Become a more supportive friend:

Specific: I will actively listen to a friend facing a challenge by maintaining eye contact, avoiding interruptions, and offering summaries of their situation.
Measurable: My friend will report feeling supported and understood after our conversation.
Attainable: I will dedicate focused listening time during one conversation with a friend per week for a month.
Relevant: Active listening will help me be a more supportive friend.
Time-bound: I will implement this for one month and then reflect on its impact on our friendship.
Remember, these are just examples. You can modify them to fit your specific needs and goals!
