Guide to be a Introvert Rock-Star!

Introvert Whisperer / Guide to be a Introvert Rock-Star! Your Professional Field Guide to be a Rock-Star Introvert-Part One Are you an Introvert? Good! Finally, introverts are getting into the mainstream of the collective consciousness.   Books and articles are now springing up on the topic and just now I saw a retreat for Introverts.   It’s a good time to be an Introvert. The biggest issue I have with most things I read on the subject of being an Introvert is the translating all of that into practical, usable advice.   If I’m an Introvert, not only “what does that mean to me?” but “what do I do with that information that will help me with ________________ (fill in the blank)?” Most of the time, when we take an assessment, there is this big “so-what?” factor that comes along with it.   With the advent of the Internet, assessments and certainly personality assessments abound.   Who doesn’t like to hear more about themselves? But once you do, it then begs the question about what good is that information.   Even if you haven’t taken an assessment and have only surmised your personality type, what does that mean in the day-to-day arc of your life or career? The short answer is: not much.   It’s like learning about the formation of granite.   Interesting but does it do anything at all to change your behavior, make a difference in your career or advance a cause?   Again, no.   Knowing that you are a specific personality type does you no good, if you can’t do something useful with the information. My plan with the next three articles is to give you both insight into your personality as an introvert and how it works on the job. Today is Part-One of my three part series Your Professional Field Guide to be a Rock-Star Introvert. Lets get right to it! The Introvert Personality   The central concept to understanding our personality is the use of our energy.   When I first heard that, it really didn’t mean much to me.   I’m sure someone else reading this has the same reaction.   (We just didn’t connect the dots) Energy in the context of your personality means the personal energy it takes to do something even if all you are doing is setting in a meeting.   To further expand on this, think about going to a day long seminar or even a project that you work on all day.   It’s the kind of thing that really has no physical expenditure but nevertheless, at the end of the day, you are pooped.   Not because you used your energy to move around but because your brain was working overtime to soak up all of the value you were there to obtain.   Rarely does anyone talk about the fact that your brain uses up energy almost faster than a good workout at the gym. It turns out that the primary difference between an extravert (btw, it’s not a typo, it turns out that the “extro” or “extra” are equally as correct grammatically but the folks with MBTI prefer the “extra” and since I’m one of them I go with group-think on how to spell this personality) and an introvert is how their energy is created and spent.   For an extravert, their battery is recharged through their environment or “outside” of their head.   The things you commonly equate with an extravert, like speaking more than we do, is an energizing activity as is being interactive with others.   For an introvert, those very things can suck the life out of us.   Our energy is restored inside our head through more internally focused things like working on a solitary project, listening to music or reading.   When we are around others or interact with others, it spends our energy. This means if you begin with the basic understanding of energy creation and expenditure, it starts to make abundant sense when you then start equating energy to some of the behavior that goes with it.   Below is a quiz I developed to help people self-identify your personality type and it is also designed to show the contrast between “E” and “I”.   I should point out that you have other facets to your personality than just Introvert and Extravert but we are only focusing on those. PERSONALITY ORIENTATION ASSESSMENT   INSTRUCTIONS:     This is a “forced choice” assessment, meaning at each line, select the statement that is truer for you or reflects you more than the other statement.   You will notice that the other statement may apply to you as well but you must pick between the two. Scoring: Once you are completed and have made an X selection for each line, tally the X’s in the left column and then the right column. This should give you a good idea of which type you are. X if yes Extravert X if yes Introvert Attuned to external environment or things surrounding you Drawn to inner world or thoughts, memories, information, ideas and impressions Prefer to communicate by talking Prefer to communicate in writing Work out ideas by talking them through Work out ideas by reflecting on them Learn best through doing or discussing Learn best by reflection,, mental “practice” Have broad interests Focus in depth on your interests Sociable and expressive Private and contained Readily take initiative in work and relationships Take initiative when the situation or issue is very important to you Is energized by interacting with people and speaking Is energized by yourself Oriented to people and action Oriented to thoughts and feelings Active Reflective Using trial and error with confidence Considering deeply before acting Scanning the environment for stimulation Finding stimulation inwardly Lively, energetic, seek spotlight Calm, enjoy solitude, seek background Interactive, want contact, listen and speak Onlooker, prefer space, read and write Want to belong, broad circle, join groups Seek intimacy, one-on-one, find individuals Demonstrative, easier to know, self-revealing Controlled, harder to know, private Sociable, congenial, introduce people Reserved, low-key, are introduced Gregarious, expressive Quiet, contained Initiating, enthusiastic Receiving, intimate Now that you have taken this brief assessment, you should now be in the “so-what?” mode.   Never fear, on Friday I will answer this question for you so be sure to come back for my answer. In the meantime, make sure to take my forced assessment above, and check out further resources here: Let me emphasize that Self-Promotion doesn’t have to be obnoxious to be effective. But, if you don’t Self-Promote you, who will? If you ever want to get ahead, you have to learn how to Self-Promote.

French Pronunciation Guide Best Tips for Mastering French Vowels

French Pronunciation Guide Best Tips for Mastering French Vowels Sign up successful There are four key defining “characteristics” of sound that each French vowel symbolizes: 1. L’aperature This correlates to the “height” of a speaker’s tongue. A “high” vowel is pronounced with your tongue located close to roof of your mouth, whereas a “low” vowel requires you to keep your tongue located close  to the bottom of your mouth. 2. L’antériorité This correlates to the “backness” of your tongue. A “back” vowel means your tongue is positioned close to the back of your throat versus a “front” vowel, which means your tongue is located close  to your mouth’s opening. 3. La rondissement Literally meaning “roundness,” this term signifies whether or not your lips are rounded when articulating a vowel. 4. La nasalité Some vowels are pronounced through the nasal cavity. This means that air flows  through both your mouth and through the passageway that connects your throat to your nose.  There are three nasal vowels in French. Each vowel in French contains a unique combination of the four characteristics mentioned  above. For example, the characteristics of the vowel written “u” in French can be summarized  as follows: u = (high, front, rounded, non-nasal vowel) Hearing the combination of these four characteristics is what makes a listener know, “Oh, that  speaker just used the sound [u] in that word!” Every French vowel has a combination. Using  these guidelines, you can figure out where your mouth, tongue and lips should be when you  pronounce a vowel. Here is my favorite video on French Vowel Phonetics for you if you want  more information: 2. Learn Pronunciation With Spelling Now that you understand the four characteristics of sound that French uses to create vowels,  you can then begin training your brain to read French. French is a non-phonetic language that  has complex spelling rules, which basically means that it’s not always spoken how it is written. Sometimes, three written vowels such as “eau” in French equal merely one spoken vowel, and  sometimes a vowel sound can be represented by a single vowel. You have to work to memorize  what sequences of letters create what spoken sound if you want to be able to speak, read and  write French correctly. I included a table I created of common French spellings for its vowels. This is so that you can  associate each individual pronunciation of a vowel with how it is spelled in French. For example, if  you have been pronouncing the written vowels “ou” and “u” the same, then you can use this  table to see that “ou” is pronounced with your tongue positioned at the back of your mouth,  whereas “u” is pronounced with your tongue positioned at the front of your mouth, but both  sounds are high vowels (the tongue is close to the roof of your mouth for both vowels). All  spellings within a single box represent a single vowel, and so you can see that all spellings  within a box are pronounced the same. 3. Practice Makes Perfect This is where many students of French drop the ball. You now have the tools you need to fine-tune your pronunciation, and you have the tools to figure out what spellings match up with each vowel. However, we have to tie the two together to be able to read, speak and write French correctly. There’s no way around accomplishing this task than to practice listening to each vowel, repeating that vowel, comparing your pronunciation to what you heard and physically seeing the vowel’s spelling. To keep practicing, you can watch more videos about French pronunciation on YouTube. Heres one of my favorites- If you are serious about learning French, I would practice at least three times a week. It won’t be long before you notice that you have more confidence in your speech and that you can understand how to correct your pronunciation. It takes weeks or months to become a master of French vowels, but you will be proud and feel accomplished when you realize that your efforts took your French from a beginner’s level to the advanced level.

Remember, the cost does not always reflect the person's experience and qualifications (the cheapest tutors are not necessarily the least successful at teaching learners and the pricier ones are not always the top teachers) but, that said, you do get what you pay for so don't be reluctant to pay for a good tutor and then complain that you haven't learned what you had wanted to!Just like when you seek quotes for work being done in your house, it is a good idea to pick around three tutors who you are drawn to and give each of them a chance to become your tutor. Be up front and tell them that you are unsure of your decision so that this gives them the opportunity to tell you why you should pick them and how they may be able to help you. It may be that they have a trait or have experienced something that really speaks to you.It is important to have a good relationship with your tutor so that you look forward to your lessons with positivity instead of dread ing each time you come into contact.If you choose a tutor who does not live nearby, the chances are that they will set you work by sending you documents, and will also schedule some face to face catch ups via Skype or  video call to ensure that you benefit from speaking and listening exercises as well as reading and writing work and quizzes.Take a look at our complete Hindi language learning website  guide.A Quick Note For Those Seeking Hindi Teaching JobsWith very few opportunities to become an  elementary school teacher in England with Hindi as your top discipline, many professionals wishing to teach Hindi will often have to turn to online teaching. That said, there is no harm in looking at vacancies for teaching jobs specialising  in part-time student teaching of uncommon languages.Alternatively, you may wish to consider a teaching career as an ESL teacher, enabling you to mix your love for Hindi with English and be an English teacher to native Hindi speakers.However, if Hindi is the only subject you wish to teach, then you might like to consider teaching abroad. While staffing for the Hindi language is sought after in many countries other than India itself, places like Australia may soon be on the lookout for more accredited and passionate Hindi language teachers in the future.Keep an eye out for openings at an  international school to see what opportunities lie ahead of you.Finally, if teaching abroad isn't something that particularly appeals to you and you would prefer to stay put in England where you can speak English and a bit of Hindi here and there, then you may wish to set up your own tutoring service or sign up for teaching jobs on online platforms like Superprof and other sites for teachers.In the meantime, you could look at vacancies for substitute teachers or even return to educate yourself to gain another diploma in a different area of further education.As a teacher, the Internet can be equally useful for you too! For more information on contin uing your teaching career in Hindi, why not try searching keywords such as 'become a teacher of Hindi', 'staffing', 'hiring teaching assistant', 'language academies', 'looking for jobs as a qualified teacher', 'teacher certification', 'education jobs', 'job fair', and 'seeking professional development'.

5 Careers for Those Who Prefer Crunching Numbers to Crashing Parties - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 5 Careers for Those Who Prefer Crunching Numbers to Crashing Parties - Introvert Whisperer 5 Careers for Those Who Prefer Crunching Numbers to Crashing Parties Let’s face it: Not all of us want to climb the career ladder by working closely within teams, socializing every day, and trying to schmooze with the boss. Many of us introverts would rather clock in, sit down, and get to work. We’d rather crunch numbers and use hard data in our day-to-day work than get caught up in interpersonal concerns. If this sounds like you, you might want to investigate careers that allow you to impress your employer with your strengths â€" and deal with a lot less stress due to social demands during work. It’s important to find work that suits your strengths, rather than struggle to fit the mold your current employer needs filled. As noted by career advice author Jessica Kay: People are increasingly realizing that we are multi-potential and have many skills and strengths that we can turn into careers. So, knowing what your strengths are and what to do with them to turn them into viable careers in the (next) 2-3 years … is more important than ever in today’s workforce. Not only can doing this help you find a career that leads to personal fulfillment, it may also lead to higher pay and greater job security. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), mathematicians and statisticians in a wide range of career fields make an average of $84,760 per year. Furthermore, such careers are growing at a rate of 33 percent per year, which is substantially faster than most positions. Ready to get started with your career search? This is a great place to start. Using job growth and salary statistics from the BLS, as well as data from leading universities, let’s take a look at five excellent careers for those who prefer to crunch numbers rather than crash parties: Marketing Analyst Marketing analysts, also known as marketing research analysts, are responsible for gathering and studying data to help an organization promote its goods and services. This data includes consumer behavior, information about competitors, and other market conditions. Analyzing this data, often with the assistance of recent big data innovations, can provide organizations with powerful insights that can inform future decisions. Marketers need data to effectively do their work. By doing effective research, you can help amplify your organization’s voice â€" even if you aren’t interested in using your own. Education Requirements: A bachelor’s degree in market research (or a related field) is necessary to become a marketing analyst. If you aspire to fill a senior position one day, a master’s degree is a smart choice. Average Pay: About $62,000 per year. Career Outlook: With an estimated growth of 23 percent from 2016 to 2026, this is the fastest-growing career in this list. As noted by Villanova University, marketing analysis is “projected to grow twice the rate of many other fields that are technically oriented.” Those seeking a career in market research analysis have many career opportunities ahead of them. Financial Analyst A highly desired career, financial analysts are much like marketing analysts in that they are responsible for gathering data about a business and current market conditions in order to help an organization make smart decisions. However, they are primarily concerned with finances. They learn as much about the company’s financial situation and niche in the market as possible in order to synthesize this information in comprehensive financial models. Using this informed outlook, they often make specific recommendations to the business. If you enjoy burying yourself in research and finding solutions to financial puzzles, this work is for you. Education Requirements: A bachelor’s degree in a finance-related major, though a graduate-level degree is preferred. If you want to become a financial analyst, it’s wise to get a degree in a versatile major such as accounting. In addition to preparing you to become an analyst, it can set you up for a number of different positions in the finance world, making you a versatile candidate. Average Pay: Around $84,000 per year. Career Outlook: 11 percent growth, which is higher than average. Financial advising is a growing field with many opportunities for graduates. Health Information Manager Information is the foundation of healthcare. Thorough, up-to-date, secure health information is essential. Health information managers (HIMs) are the constructors of this foundation, responsible for ensuring that patient records are updated and safely stored. They have to stay informed about recent developments in information management technology and cybersecurity risks in order to work effectively. While the specific duties of people in health information management can differ from position to position, they all play an integral role in patient care. Your work will ensure a smooth and secure transfer of information to those who need it, but strong social skills are not required for this work. Education Requirements: A minimum of a bachelor’s in health informatics is necessary to gain employment as a health information manager, but a master’s in health informatics is recommended for a competitive edge during recruitment. Also, as noted by the University of Cincinnati, “To qualify for an HIM position, certification as a Registered Health Information Technician or Registered Health Information Administrator is also critical.” Average Pay: Pay varies depending on your specific position. Entry-level positions pay approximately $30,000 to $50,000 per year, though upper-level roles can pay well over $80,000. Career Outlook: The BLS estimates 20 percent growth for the field, which is much faster than average. With plenty of positions opening each year, this is a strong field to get into. Public Auditor Public auditors work to determine if organizations are compliant with laws and regulations. They research law, do thorough investigations, and inform others about any discrepancies. From building codes to employment policies and beyond, they regularly do audits to gather information and recommend improvements. This involves digging through documentation, crunching numbers, and formulating cost-efficient solutions. Given the nature of this work, public authors are held to strict standards in regards to confidentiality. While you may need to convey your findings to others, the bulk of your work will consist of research and ensuring compliance. Education Requirements: At minimum, you’ll need a bachelor’s degree in accounting to work as a public auditor. However, a master’s in this field is necessary to be a competitive candidate. Furthermore, some employers will prefer that you have taken the steps necessary to become a certified public accountant. Average Pay: Approximately $60,000 per year. Career Outlook: 10 percent growth, which is higher than average. This makes this field reasonably secure in terms of employment. Entrepreneur If you want to take your future into your own hands, consider becoming an entrepreneur. Organizing your own business can be a financially risky move, but it also opens doors to new opportunities. Do you have a unique idea for a product or service that you think has potential? Are you so passionate about something that you want to leave your mark on the industry surrounding it? Doing research about the market will allow you to make inferences about the viability of your potential business venture. A deep understanding of market forces and data will be essential to minimize risk and maximize profits. While some social finesse will be needed to convince others to invest in your idea, rock-solid hard data and research will convince investors more than any rhetorical move could. Education Requirements: Obviously, starting your own business venture doesn’t require a specific educational background. However, having a bachelor’s or master’s in a business-related degree can help you when it comes to securing funding. Furthermore, education in the specific niche you intend on marketing within can prove to be invaluable. Average Pay: According to research, the average entrepreneur makes approximately $68,000 per year. However, this number can vary wildly depending on your venture’s success. Career Outlook: Your chances at a secure income are dependent on the viability of your idea, whether you can secure adequate funding, and the integrity of your business practices. While pundits argue that becoming an entrepreneur is becoming harder in this day and age, the right idea, at the right time, with the right execution, can land you in an enviable position â€" but it’s important to be realistic with yourself about your prospects.

What is Diplomatic History

What is Diplomatic History The History of Diplomacy ChaptersOf Marriages and MergersDiplomacy Through Gift ExchangesTreaties: the Bureaucracy of PeaceFeudal Diplomacy: the Game of ObligationAlliances and ConsequencesMutually Assured DestructionOf the many aspects of political history, diplomatic history focuses on the relations between political entities that don’t involve pointy objects or guns. Generally, the role of diplomacy is the avoidance of conflict and the safeguarding of boundaries by securing allies.We tend to think of diplomacy in terms of men in grey suits discussing foreign policy, but often forget that international relations are not merely a thing of the twentieth century. Here are a few of the many ways diplomatic relations have influenced global history.

In monarchies, a royal woman was an important asset if you used her correctly.Royal hostagesIn the early Middle East and Ancient Egypt, alliances were cemented by marriages. With polygamy a common factor among ruling families, it was common to send a daughter to the court of your new ally as a bride. The family would get regular reports through their embassy - usually a single official envoy with an entourage - and she could be held as a hostage against the opposite number’s good behaviour.In China, the occupied territories would, for much of its history, provide daughters from influential families for the Emperor’s household as either wives or concubines in order to curry favour.In Christian Europe, polygamy was officially condemned, meaning that while the mistresses of European kings definitely had influence, they came from the local aristocracy and were pawns in internal affairs more than international ones. The fact that they only had one official consort made the choice of partner all the more important. All the European royal families vied for each other’s sons and daughters as means of forging alliances.Though the women had very little say in these matters, many of them used their charisma and sexuality to pursue their own goals and influence politics both internal and external. Among the many influential queens of European history, some of the most famous is Eleonore of Aquitaine, a French princess who married an English king and became the mother of Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland in the Medieval Period for England or Catherine de Medici   - an Italian noblewoman who became queen of France in the sixteenth century.Eleanore of Aquitaine came from a French kingdom and married an English king. She was the mother of Richard Lionheart and John Lackland.

You could take it by force of arms, of course. But if you were lucky, your neighbour lacked a male heir - in which case you could offer him one by marrying his daughter. The resulting children would rule over both kingdoms, thusEarly ivory labels from Ancient Egypt show diplomatic marriages between chiefdoms that helped expand a small territory in order to encompass a large part of the Nile valley - changing North African history forever.Diplomacy Through Gift ExchangesOf course, not only women were exchanged. Many societies practised elaborate gift exchanges to cement relationships with other groups. Ancient Egyptian diplomatic correspondence mention the elaborate gifts exchanged between Egypt and Mitanni, including horses, golden chalices, weapons and statues.Throughout social history, some societies present gifts to other chieftains or kings during elaborate feasts in the expectation that there would be a return ceremony in the future with gifts of equal or increasingly higher value. From the point of view of economic history, gift-giving could represent the main form of economic exchange between one nation and another.Most people in the Middle Ages never saw an elephant - except maybe in Charlemagne's menagerie. Photo credit: peacay on Foter.comEven in societies where gift-giving was not the main form of international relation, it remained usual for a long time for diplomatic envoys to bring gifts from their respective nations. This is how, for example, Charlemagne received an elephant from the Caliph of Baghdad. The gifts were meant to show appreciation for the high status of the receiver while flouting the wealth of the giver and presenting them as economies to be reckoned with.Read more about Ancient civilisation history.

The earliest surviving recorded peace treaty of modern civilization dates to about 1276 BC and gives a point-by-point list of all the articles of the bilateral agreement between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II and Hittite ruler Hattusili III.The Hittite version of the Treaty of Kadesh. Photo credit: Steven Tan (maethlin) on Foter.comThe text has survived in both Hittite and Egyptian versions and includes articles devoted to mutual financial/humanitarian aid (put into effect about a generation later when Ramses’ son Merenptah sent grain to help stem a famine in the Hittite Empire) and extradition of political criminals fleeing to one or the other country. The continuing relations between the two kingdoms are also interesting for the history of medicine, as the Hittite king asked for help from Ramses’ court physicians.Since then peace treaties have encompassed a number of different postulations, have been signed between equal partners and peoples that had no idea what they were signing, were signed between two co nsenting parties and under duress. Peace treaties have actually promoted peace and cooperation between two countries, while others have resulted in more war.When peace treaties go wrongMany “peace treaties” between European nations and indigenous people in the seventeenth century stole their self-governance from native populations leading to their disenfranchising and the spread of poverty and infectious disease. In some cases, the treaties of European imperialism condemned the natives to little more than slavery.And at least one peace treaty in modern history led to a world war. After the submission of Germany at the end of the Great War, the various diplomatic corps that sent a delegation to the summit to draft the Treaty of Versailles imposed extremely heavy sanctions as well as arms control on Germany, feeling threatened by its influence on world affairs during the war. Economic history shows that the sanctions led to rampant inflation, paving the way for the strategic rise of nationalism and a power play by an intellectual elite bent on the subjugation of Europe through questionable ethics and the rise of the imperial German regime.Feudal Diplomacy: the Game of ObligationOne of the most fascinating and complicated means of keeping an equilibrium of power is the complicated web of feudal obligation that characterised much of the Middle Ages. In some cases, the borders of countries changed depending on the allegiance of feudal underlords.The idea was that a smaller lord would put himself under obligation to a feudal overlord. He would provide men and resources, and the overlord would use his greater resources - expanded by the men and taxes of his other underlords - to defend his underlords from threats and help them in times of need. Everything from economics to agricultural labour was somehow embroiled in the feudal system.Though we tend to think of Europe in relation to feudalism, but other cultures had similar systems. Photo credit: Okinawa Soba (Ro b) on Foter.comOver the centuries, feudal obligations were passed on from father to son and the feudal hierarchies became more rigid.Absolute monarchies arose that put most of the aristocracy on the same level underneath the king, and the complex give-and-take of international affairs under the feudal system gave rise to single powers who dealt directly with each other through means of embassies and variations on the foreign service - until the wave of revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth century introduced democracy onto the diplomatic stage.Alliances and ConsequencesFrom another perspective, some wars started from diplomacy in an indirect way. Any historian will tell you what an odd cascade of circumstances started the Great War. It has occasionally been compared to a bar fight between pub buddies. The actual crisis seemed at first to be a matter between two nations - or at least, between the emerging Serbio-Yougoslav nationalists and Austria - Hungary.But after the wars of the nineteenth century, countries began forming alliances to promote peace and trade. Unfortunately, by the twentieth century, this system of alliances formed two main blocks in Europe. When the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire was killed, their allies were drawn into the war, each of them bringing their own baggage and enemies, setting off a chain reaction of conflicts that would lead to one of the most gruesome wars in history - one in which even the Holy See took an interest. The Vatican tried in vain to initiate an attempt at negotiation between the international community.Delegates leaving after signing the treaty of Versailles. Photo credit: Archives New Zealand on Foter.comBut it wasn’t until the Vienna Convention in 1969 that an attempt was made to regulate the international law on treaties and provide rules as to how foreign relations should handle the breaking of them.Mutually Assured DestructionAny undergraduate of cultural history will tell you that possibly the mo st important war of the twentieth century was the one that never happened. The interesting thing about the Cold War was that a balance was achieved entirely without diplomacy, but instead with the constant threat of war between Russia / the communist nations and the US / the Western world. The threat of mutually assured nuclear destruction prevented all-out conflict for decades while making a contribution towards advancing technology at an astounding pace.However, true peace wasn’t achieved until the Cuban Missile Crisis forced the two factions to ignore criticism by their more strident members and re-establish lines of communication. Though the Cuban government under Cuban president Castro remained shut off and it only became possible to visit Cuba recently, the events of that day convinced both sides to actually sit down and talk. This is what gave the world a real hope for peace, proving the importance of negotiating versus simply having bigger guns.Read more about what studyin g History really is about.

Brasil, eventos e o Inglês

Brasil, eventos e o Inglês Com todos os eventos que o país irá cediar pelo próximos anos Copa das Confederações, Jornada Mundial da Juventude, Copa do Mundo, Olimpíadas é imprescindível que quem trabalha com o público tenha um conhecimento, ainda que básico, do Inglês. Isto, porque como se sabe, o Inglês é um idioma internacional, usado em todo o mundo para facilitar a comunicação entre pessoas de culturas diferentes.Foto: Márcio Luiz Rosa/ O Globo e Isabela Marinho/G1No entanto, com a proximidade destes eventos, vemos deslizes como o caso das placas erradas no Rio de Janeiro, que demonstram um descuido para com os preparativos. É certo que das 300 placas instaladas, apenas duas continham erros. Porém, tendo em conta da magnitude das atividades que o Brasil irá albergar, seria de pensar que, antes da instalação das placas, alguém que fale Inglês teria acesso às mesmas e fiscalizaria esse material, de modo a garantir que nenhuma gafe fosse cometida. Afinal de contas, o mundo inteiro es tá prestando atenção. Nesse caso em específico, o órgão municipal responsável garantiu que a reposição das placas com a grafia errada não iria gerar novos custos, mas o mal já está feito, a imprensa, nacional e internacional, já noticiou o acontecido.Existem diversos grupos que são contra a realização destes grandes eventos no Brasil, inclusive, ainda esta semana, ativistas formalizaram uma queixa de violação de direitos humanos contra o Brasil na ONU, por causa das pessoas que estão sendo desalojadas para a construção de infraestruturas para a Copa e outras situações consideradas abusivas. Sem falar que ontem (30/05), a justiça do Rio suspendeu o amistoso Brasil x Inglaterra, que seria no Maracanã, alegando falta de segurança para o público. Contudo, mesmo com todas estas situações, não existe nenhum indício de que algum dos eventos será cancelado. Portanto, estar preparado para a recepção dos turistas é um dever.Seja para quem trabalha diretament e com o público ou para quem irá chefiar equipes, que estarão lidando com pessoas de outras nacionalidades todos os dias durante a realização dos eventos, saber falar outros idiomas de preferência, pelo menos, Inglês é fundamental. Daí que esteja a ocorrer uma corrida às escolas de idiomas, mas os cursinhos intensivos não conseguem ensinar tudo, especialmente se você nunca teve um contato regular com a língua.Quem quer estar com o Inglês na ponta da língua precisa se preparar, seja com aulas intensivas de conversação, cursinhos de idiomas ou quaisquer outros meios disponíveis. No entanto, nessa busca por estar pronto na hora que tudo começar, é preciso ter em mente algo essencial: invistam em algo que seja útil no futuro, não apenas para os eventos, mas para a sua carreira como um todo. Não aprendam o idioma apenas para a Copa, aprendam para vocês mesmos, para as suas carreiras, para a vida, pois só assim o investimento valerá a pena. Boa sorte!
