Learning Strategies for Success with Tyler Teacher

Answering your questions: "How do I learn English easily?" (Episode 2)

"If you were an ice cream flavor, which one would you be, and why?"

This may be your idea of a nightmare interview question — and yes, employers really use it.

Your answer won't reveal anything about your ability to, say, use Microsoft Excel or drive a forklift truck. But it may tell your potential boss something about your "soft skills."

It's been said that hard skills will get you an interview, but soft skills will get you a job.

Hard skills are things you might learn at university, like how to write computer code or speak French.

Soft skills are the things you might not be able to prove with a qualification, but that will help you succeed in the workplace.

These could include being good at things like problem-solving, time management, and communicating with others or understanding how they feel — even being a good listener.

Employers say soft skills are more important than ever as the world adapts to remote and hybrid working patterns, because being able to communicate clearly and adapt to new situations is even more vital to success.

Some have called soft skills innate. But can we learn them or at least improve them?

"Yes," says jobs website Indeed.

It says the keys are to communicate regularly with the people on your team, be open to feedback, and pay attention to the way others overcome challenges including how they interact with people to do so.

Indeed also says it's important to simply get to work on time. This will help with time management, and also helps you achieve your goals and stand out from your colleagues.

Amanda Vickers, CEO of training company Speak First, told The Guardian that it's also important to try to understand what other people's needs and motives might be. This will help you adapt and work successfully with different people.

So, which ice cream flavor are you?

Well, the flavor isn't important but your answer could demonstrate soft skills such as creativity, quick thinking and even self-awareness.

Just don't choose vanilla.

Chapter 6 Busted

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道、千歳市の気温は15℃ぐらいですが、とても寒く感じます。

今日は、日本語のレッスンでおもしろい話をしていたので、紹介しますね。

日本語には、食べる時の食感の表現がいくつかあります。
その中の、カリカリとサクサクの違いについて話していました。どんな違いがあるかわかりますか？

僕のイメージでは、
カリカリは揚げ物の食感に使うことが多いですね。
少しだけ固いものを食べる時に使います。
例えば、カリカリのベーコンとか、アーモンドなどにも使いますね。

続いて、サクサクです。
これは、カリカリよりももう少し柔らかいイメージです。
例えば、天ぷらやトンカツなど、軽い食感のものの時に使います。

人によって少し違うかもしれませんが、そんな感じですね。
また他の言葉も取り上げてみようと思います。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
