ep1.한국인은 밥심
한국인은 밥심이라는 말이 있습니다.
밥은 쌀밥 또는 식사를 의미합니다. 쌀은 한국의 주식이기 때문이죠.
‘밥’은 한국 문화에서 아주 중요한 의미를 가집니다.
그래서인지 밥과 관련된 표현들이 많은데요.
예를 들어 한국 사람들은 식사 시간쯤에 만나면 안부를 묻는 말로
식사하셨어요? 밥 먹었어요?라고 묻습니다.
그리고 한국인들은 누군가를 걱정할 때면 '밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹어'라는 말을 해줍니다.
그리고 외국인들이 가장 혼란스러워하는 말, ‘다음에 밥 한번 먹자.’
이 말은 정말 약속을 잡는다는 말이 아니라 나중에 봐 정도로 생각하면 됩니다.
이만큼 한국인의 정서에 깊이 스며들어 있는 밥.
여러분도 밥이 들어가는 표현으로 친구에게 안부를 물어보세요.
여러분, 밥 꼭 잘 챙겨 먹고 다니시고 다음 시간에 만나요.😊

Try these tips during awkward silences or when you don't know what else to talk about.

1.   Don't reject your own ideas thinking that they are not worth sharing. When you filter most of your stories and experiences you have fewer topics to talk about. 
 
2.   Don't list your points, instead elaborate on each point using examples or personal experiences. This also gives the opportunity to the listener to add to the topic or share their own experiences making it a two-way conversation.
 
3.   Speak at the right pace. If you speak too fast, you end the conversation very quickly. It’s usually because the listener doesn’t understand you and therefore can’t keep the conversation going.  
 
4.   Learn to ask smart questions to keep the conversation going. Ask open-ended questions such as, “what do you think about …?” with follow-up questions “why do you think …?”. This helps you build up on the information that you received.
 
5.   Practise thinking critically so you always have something to say. When you practice critical thinking and ask yourself counter-questions, you are able to spontaneously think of ideas and form arguments using your background knowledge. You can easily connect the dots and be eloquent while talking to people.
 
6.   Learn a few speech frameworks such as Past - Present - Future, Problem – Solution - Benefit, or other storytelling formats such as ‘the mountain’. When you have a structure, you don’t lose your chain of thoughts and you don’t run into dead ends. Your listeners are also able to understand you better and remember what you said.
 
7.   If you are using a second language to communicate such as English, then simplify your complex thoughts in your native language first and then translate them to English. Lots of times when translation is tough, we give up and change the topic. But this practice helps you make the translation process easy.

Tips for not running out of things to say

یک روز باد و خورشید سر اینکه کدامشان قویتر است باهم بحث میکردند. آخر سر تصمیم گرفتند باهم مسابقه بدهند تا ببینند کدام قوی تر است.

مردی داشت از آن حوالی رد میشد خورشید گفت: "بیا ببینیم کدام از یک ما میتواند کت این مرد را از تنش دربیاورد؟"

باد قبول کرد. اول قرار شد باد امتحان کند.

باد همه ی قدرتش را جمع کرد و وزید و وزید و وزید. اما مرد نه تنها کتش را درنیاورد، بلکه کتش را بیشتر به خودش پیچید.

بعد نوبت خورشید شد.

قدرتش را جمع کرد و شروع کردن به تابیدن.

خورشید انقدر تابید و آفتاب را پهن کرد روی زمین، تا مرد گرمش شد و کتش را درآورد.

خورشید در مسابقه برنده شد.
