Building a strong professional network is no longer optional. It's a powerful tool that can open doors to new opportunities, provide valuable insights, and accelerate your career growth.

1.Develop a compelling elevator pitch (highlight your value).
2.Actively listen and engage in conversations (build genuine connections).
3.Attend industry events and online communities (expand your network).
4.Leverage your network for informational interviews (explore career paths).
5.Provide value to your network (support, referrals, introductions).
6.Follow up with new connections (solidify relationships).
7.Maintain a strong online presence (professional profile and social media activity).

Top 10 Best Practices of Professional Networking 

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. I'm an italki American English tutor. Today I want to talk about technical aids for learning languages. And specifically, I want to talk about headphones. So one of the most important things for improving your fluency in any foreign language is to listen to content in that target language.
So for me, I'm currently studying Spanish and trying to maintain my Chinese, so I don't forget it. So what I like to do every day is listen to podcasts. Now you can listen while you're doing other activities like washing your clothes or washing the dishes or exercising at the gym. You can listen to podcasts while you're on the treadmill. 

But the problem is headphones can smash your ears and make your ears uncomfortable. So what I like to do is use bone conduction headphones or earphones. It's a type of headphone that doesn't actually cover your ear canal. It goes in front of your ear and kind of sits on your face. Um, kind of behind your sideburns if you're a man, right in front of your ear and the sound transmits a vibration that goes into your skull and into your ear and your brain can hear the sound just from the vibrations going through your bones. And so they are called bone conduction headphones. I swear by them. And I use them every day. I have a pair which is charged with a USB C port.

So there are many different kinds of options on the market, but I like the ones that use a USB C port to charge them because I don't have to worry about losing the appropriate proprietary charging cord. Instead, I can just use any USB C charging cord to power up the headphones. 

So another advantage of using bone conduction headphones is that while you're wearing them, you can hear sounds outside of the content that you're listening to.
So for example, say, I'm running, I'm jogging and listening to my podcast which is in Chinese while I'm jogging. ( Text limit )

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今回は2日目の朝のハプニングについて話します。
その前に実は前日の夜、ホテルのセルフチェックインでも少し手間取りました。日本だとあせらないんですが、海外にいるとあせりますね。結局、名前の入力を間違えていただけで、無事にカードキーをゲットし、入ることができました。

そして翌日の朝。
この日は朝早く6時前にホテルを出ました。フランクフルト中央駅で、ICEという新幹線のような電車に乗る予定でした。

それで、今日も朝からひと駅電車で移動しました。
切符の買い方がわからなかったので、ネットで調べて駅に向かいました。

日本と違って改札はありません。それで駅のホームに券売機があるという思いましたが、ありません。

それで、もう一回駅の外に出ました。でもありません。え、なんで？って不安になりながら、反対側に回りました、ありません。でもエレベーターがありました。エレベーターで上に上がりました。ありません、と思ったらありました！

ていうぐらいわかりにくいところに券売機がありました。急いで昨日確認した通りに画面をタップして、切符を買いました。それで、ホームに行ったらすぐ、乗りたかった電車がきました。なんとか間に合いました！

それで無事フランクフルト中央駅に着きました。2人ともお腹が空いていたので、クロワッサンや、サンドを買いました。

ICEにも無事乗ることができました。
いよいよ、ベルリンへ向かいます！
と言いながら、実はICEの中でもわからないことが発生しました。

と、いうことで今回はここまでです。
次はその電車の中でのことと、ベルリンの話をします。

最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！

How I learn a third language using ESPRR

Elon Musk's secret

Cafes are a popular meeting place — whether you're meeting a friend, meeting someone for the first time or even having an informal business meeting.

But Shojo Cafe is not the place to go if you're planning to talk to people. The new cafe in Osaka doesn't allow any sound — that means no music or talking, and orders must be made silently.

The cafe opened in April, as a space where people can go to enjoy some peace and quiet in a busy city.

It's run by AB Possible, an organization that supports people with disabilities. Many of the cafe employees are deaf or have hearing difficulties, and a space like this allows them to play an active role in society, the organization said.

Customers are asked to make their orders silently, such as by writing or pointing at the menu.

Sign language is also encouraged — and if you're interested in learning, there are informal sign language classes after the cafe closes. Classes are one hour long and cost 2,000 yen — or about $13 — which also includes a cup of matcha.

The organization said that, unlike a normal cafe where people talk to each other, the silence in Shojo Cafe will help customers focus on other things — like the color and taste of the cafe's tea and sweets. Customers can even try making the matcha themselves.

Cafe owner Haruna Matsumoto told The Asahi Shimbun the idea for the cafe came after she visited a silent cafe in Vietnam, and all she could hear was the sound of rain and people walking.

"I got to know the comfort of silence and the lively way the cafe staff worked," Matsumoto said, adding that she wanted more people to learn about both things.
