Yesterday, @EnglishForImpact readers met with @ybeymlina via Zoom to discuss Blood Moon, astronomy, and astrology in modern life. 3 words below tripped them over. Let us untangle your tongues now and for good, or at least till next Wednesday 🧸

🫧Cyprus - an island shared by Turkey and Greece
/ˈsaΙͺ.prΙ™s/
"The eclipse was live broadcasted globally, including notable live coverage from Cyprus"

🫧To occur - to happen
/Ι™Λˆkɝː/
"An eclipse occurred on Sunday"

🫧Appreciation - thankfulness; understanding of value
/Ι™ΛŒpriː.ΚƒiˈeΙͺ.ΚƒΙ™n/
"The excitement and appreciation by skywatchers and astronomers for the visual beauty and natural wonder of the blood moon"

And this is Italic /aΙͺˈtΓ¦l.Ιͺk/ πŸ˜…

@ybeymlina received a DM with a complaint about using italicized examples in @EnglishForImpact posts. That complaint was so badly written, that we feel it's our duty to teach you basic English words used in typography

BTW the font we use in Canva is League Spartan

How do you feel about italic? And what's your favorite font? Let's get to know each other at the level that matters 😊

How to be Fluent in Corporate Bullshit

3 S2S users have landed jobs in international teams this year, only to face the struggle: what do their colleagues actually mean? We help you to understand cultures and blend in from day 1

Transcript:
Last time I was job hunting, I applied to over 200 positions. Only once did I hear back from anyone. And that was when a recruiter called me to tell me that he found it unprofessional that I had listed "fluent in corporate bullshit" on the skills in my resume.

My response to that? Well,
I believe that this demonstrates my ability to leverage key synergies while proactively aligning cross-functional deliverables. I'd love to circle back on this to ensure alignment moving forward. Let's touch base ASAP and get some boots on the ground to ensure we have bandwidth.

To which he replied, β€œWow, that sounds great actually. When can you come in?”

Resource
πŸͺ΄ How to land a job and master corporate BS, TEDx Talks

Glossary

🫧
to leverage key synergies
- use combined strengths for extra benefit

🫧
to align cross-functional deliverables
- make sure teams from different departments agree on what they must produce

🫧
to circle back
- return to a topic later

🫧
to get some boots on the ground

The Soul of Money | S2S Topic for Discussion this Week

This week's meeting plan is designed around @ybeymlina's favorite book this year. This book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money (earning it, spending it, and giving it away) offers surprising insight into our lives

The breadth and scope of Lynne’s work ranges from working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, to working with refugees in camps in Ethiopia and the threatened rainforests of the Amazon, as well as guiding the philanthropy of some of the world’s wealthiest families and working directly with the women who won the Nobel Peace Prize

Resource
Amazon link to the book

Glossary
🫧attitudes towards money - how people think and feel about money (saving, spending, investing)
🫧breadth and scope of work - how wide and how much the work covers
🫧threatened rainforests - rainforests that are in danger (from logging, farming, or climate change)


πŸ§› Attention: there will be NO Wednesday Open Practice Zoom meeting this week. We shall resume next week. Text wednesday to @ybeymlina to register - she will respond on Monday
