Los vocablos y las frases propias del lenguaje taurino Los vocablos y las frases propias del lenguaje taurino se han introducido sigilosamente en el español coloquial.

La lengua oral ha interiorizado de tal forma estos términos, que, en muchas ocasiones, los propios hispanohablantes no conocen ni el origen ni el primer significado de los términos.  

El desarrollo del toreo en la Península Ibérica ha generado toda una cultura en relación a la lidia y, por supuesto, un vocabulario y una terminología específicas.  En la actualidad, muchísimas frases hechas del español provienen de la jerga taurina y forman parte del lenguaje coloquial.
 Se trata de palabras y expresiones que han pasado desde el mundo del toro al lenguaje común de la calle; casi siempre, en forma de metáforas, y muy frecuentemente para hacer alusión a problemas o situaciones complicadas. 

Espero que os guste, me parece un tema muy interesante de saber y aprender. A mí también me paso la primera vez que las escuche. 

Te veo muy pronto. 
GRACIAS

5 dicas para utilizar o Sistema de Saúde Brasileiro

今日は、レストランの会話についてご紹介します。						
みなさんは、レストランで注文が終わったときに、店員さんが						
「ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか」
（ごちゅうもの　しなは　いじょうで　よろしい　でしょうか）			
と言うのを聞いたことがありますか。	

レストランでは、まず、お客さまが食べたいものや飲みたいものを注文した後に、						
店員さんは注文を繰り返します。						
そして最後に、注文に間違いないかを確認します。						
その時に「ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか」と聞かれます。						
						
今のところ注文は他にないけれど後でまた注文するかもしれないというときには、 						
注文の最後に「とりあえず以上でお願いします」と日本人はよく言います。												
												
マクドナルドなどのお店では、注文のときに、						
「こちらでお召し上がりですか、お持ち帰りですか」と店員さんに聞かれます。						
答えるときは、お店で食べる場合は「ここで食べます」
持ち帰る場合は、	「お持ち帰りでお願いします」と言えば、大丈夫です。						
										
また、海外では、レストランで食べ残したものを持ち帰る習慣がありますが、日本ではあまりしません。						
もし、持ち帰りたい場合は、「お持ち帰りできますか」と聞いてみましょう。						
						
ご注文の品は以上でよろしいでしょうか　Is that everything？Does that complete your order？
とりあえず、以上でお願いします。　　　That's all for now.
こちらでお召し上がりですか、お持ち帰りですか　　　　Is this for here, or to go?
お持ち帰りできますか　　　　　　　　　Do you do take-out?

Employers increasingly seek candidates with strong upskilling capabilities, particularly in the realm of impromptu speaking.  This refers to the ability to deliver well-structured, persuasive messages with little to no preparation.  This skillset can be a significant differentiator in interviews, meetings, and networking events.

Let's look into the upskilling process for impromptu speaking. Firstly, fostering a strong foundation in business acumen is crucial.  A comprehensive understanding of industry trends, financial literacy, and marketing principles allows you to speak with authority on relevant topics during impromptu exchanges.  Furthermore, honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills equips you to analyze situations quickly and formulate concise, impactful responses.

Secondly, active listening is essential.  Pay close attention to verbal and nonverbal cues from your audience during impromptu interactions. This enables you to tailor your message accordingly, fostering deeper connections and demonstrating genuine interest in their perspectives.

Thirdly, practice is key.  While formal presentations require meticulous planning, impromptu speaking thrives on consistent exercise.  Engage in discussions with colleagues, participate in mock interviews, or join public speaking clubs.  Record yourself delivering impromptu presentations on various business topics and analyze the recordings to identify areas for improvement.

Finally, cultivate a growth mindset.  Embrace challenges and view every unexpected speaking opportunity as a learning experience.  Focus on clear and concise communication, avoiding jargon and filler words.  Organize your thoughts using frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to deliver impactful narratives.

By upskilling in impromptu speaking, you equip yourself with a valuable asset in the professional arena.
