Hello everyone and welcome to our podcast today! Today we are going to talk about a fascinating topic: linguistic idioms from Mexico, with a special focus on the word ‘chamba’ and other popular idioms.

Quetzal: Explorando la Cultura Mexicana

Episodio 4. Chamba and other Popular Idioms.

I made a story for Japanese language learners in Japan and abroad, a story about talking on the phone using words from the JLPT N2.

JLPT/N2 story

JLPT/N2 story in 24 words that start with "あ".

"Seek the company of those who know the heart's secrets, rest beneath the tree that bears the ripest fruit. In the market of life, choose not the idle wanderer's path but the shop filled with sweetness. Not every bubbling pot holds a feast, not every pen writes truths, not every gaze sees beyond the surface, not every ocean bed holds pearls."

I am Ann I talk about how to resolve problems at work caused due to lack of communication skills.
In this podcast, I want to talk about what to do when you don’t know the answer to a question or when you are clueless about the topic of discussion.
Usually, when people don’t know what to say they try to change the subject or dodge the question. In a more professional setting when you don’t have the answers, you say you will get back to them later. If you can get away with this, it’s great. In another video, I will share how to do so in worst-case scenarios. 
In another scenario where you don’t know what people are talking about, you end up listening and smiling pretending to be a part of the conversation. You want to be included and want to be part of the discussion but don’t know how to since that topic is unknown territory for you. So in this video, I want to share how to deal with difficult questions or speak on topics you don’t know a thing about. At the same time, this method will help you build rapport with people, keep the conversation going and come across as someone smart.
We will achieve this in three steps. First, when someone asks you a question you ask them to be more specific. In step 2 you make a personal comment and follow up with another question to dig for more information on that subject. And finally, you ask for the speaker’s opinion on the matter. 
Listen to the podcast and learn how?
