In questo episodio parleremo nuovamente di apprendimento linguistico e  vi dirò la mia opinione sullo studiare più di una lingua allo stesso tempo. Amo ricordare che la mia opinione non è assolutamente legge e che persone diverse possono avere opinioni differenti a tal riguardo. Il mio pensiero a tal riguardo è semplicemente basato sulla mia esperienza personale nello studio delle lingue straniere.

TASK 65 - NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

「夏休みはどうする予定ですか」

夏休みに国内旅行をしたいと思って、日程を確認しているところなんです。自由に旅行したいので、団体旅行ではなく個人旅行がいいと思っているんです。
せっかくなので、少し遠出をして、３泊４日ぐらいがいいなぁと思っています。日帰り旅行は、旅行している感じがしないし。

友達は熱海に別荘があるみたいで、そこでのんびりするそうです。だから、夏休みの予定はすでに決まっているんですって。
私も早めに何とか今週中に決めて、新幹線の往復チケットか航空券を予約したいです。

第1部4章の言葉を使って①「夏休みはどうする予定ですか」

A fascinating tale that I think many of you will find both surprising and inspiring. Imagine owning a stunning purple Lamborghini, the epitome of luxury and speed. Now, imagine trading that in for something far less extravagant—a simple city bike, Oslo city bike. What would drive someone to make such a drastic change? Let's hear that from Jason Morgan aka. No-crown...

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.
