Le français des affaires

Rédaction professionnelle : Comment rédiger des courriels, rapports et documents d'affaires de manière claire et efficace (C1-C2)

Сегодня снова почитаем детскую литературу, а именно - рассказ Леонида Пантелеева “Испанские шапочки” про приключения двух маленьких сестёр, которых зовут Белочка и Тамарочка. Эту серию легко читать тем, кто учит русский язык, благодаря обилию диалогов и простых предложений. Кстати, слова здесь часто употребляются в уменьшительно-ласкательной форме: не платье, а платьице, не шкаф, а шкафчик. 

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: поза́втракать - есть завтрак - to have breakfast; полу́чше - чуть лучше - better, rather; посу́да - всё, что используем для еды: чашки, тарелки, кастрюли и т.д. - dishes, crockery, tableware; убира́ть - to clean up; мыть - очищать от грязи при помощи воды, воды с мылом - to wash, bathe; вытира́ть - убирать влагу - to wipe, mop; шкаф - cupboard; по́лка - shelf; ти́хо - без звука - quietly; блю́дце - маленькая тарелка под чашку или стакан - saucer; раско́кать - уронить и разбить - to unravel; ходи́ть на цы́почках - ходить на кончиках пальцев ног - walking on tiptoe; шёпот - тихая речь, когда говорят без участия голосовых связок - whisper; препира́ться - спорить по пустякам - to spar, altercate; неча́янно - случайно - accidentally, unintentionally; наступи́ть - придавить ногой - to step on, tread on; смо́рщиться - to wrinkle, wince, pucker; ве́жливый - соблюдает правила приличия, учтивый - polite, gentle; воспи́танный - умеет хорошо себя вести - civilized, well-mannered; гляде́ть - смотреть - to look, see; налюбова́ться - сильно любоваться (рассматривать с удовольствием) - to admire; сад - garden; сто́ить - нужно, следует - to be worth, deserve; ма́ло ли что - всё, что угодно - you never know what, anything; пла́тье - dress; споко́йнее - более спокойно - calmly, quietly, peacefully.

These two words are often confused. Some words in the English language have similar uses, but different meanings. "As" and "like" are two of those words. When studying English grammar, you must be able to understand how to use these words in a proper way. Don't forget to take a test after listening!

"Like" vs. "as": Do you know the difference between the two?

Imagine a deal on the verge of collapse, not because of product quality or price, but because a seemingly innocuous email landed with the cultural impact of a lead balloon. This is the hidden cost of neglecting a global mindset – a billion-dollar blind spot for businesses venturing into the international arena.
As a communication coach specializing in cross-cultural interactions, I've seen firsthand how a company's success hinges on its ability to bridge cultural divides. A global mindset isn't just about knowing a few customs or phrases in another language. It's a comprehensive approach that values diversity, embraces different perspectives, and prioritizes clear, adaptable communication.
Developing a global mindset isn't a one-time fix. It's an ongoing process that requires continuous learning and adaptation. Here are some practical steps to build a communication bridge within your team.

Encourage cross-cultural exchange programs or workshops.
Create a diverse team environment and celebrate cultural differences.
Implement communication guidelines that address cultural sensitivities.
Invest in communication training that focuses on active listening and adaptability.
By fostering a global mindset and prioritizing clear, adaptable communication, your company can unlock a wealth of opportunities in the international arena.
