Understanding the most common prefixes and suffixes in English is a great way to build your vocabulary. In this blog post, I cover the prefixes "dis-" and "mis-." They may seem the same, but there are some subtle differences.

Hey Alexis!

Review of Conditionals with practice!

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

内、をやります！

音読み　ない

意味は、中、うち側、入れる、という意味があります。


例えば、

・屋内ーおくない　部屋の中　

・内面ーないめん　物のうち側、心の中

・車内ーしゃない　車の中

・内服ーないふく　薬を飲むこと

・内心ーないしん　心の中

・雨が降ってきたので、屋内で雨やどりしよう。

・私の内面はそんなに強くないです。

・車内はとても快適です。

・血圧を下げるために、内服しています。
