Coherence between form and content. ➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, of simple intervention or of 'one to one` exchange, aiming to challenge your audience or interlocutor, by taking care of the substance as well as the form. , all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are verbal and non-verbal communication techniques. ➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, self-assurance, ease by overcoming discomfort and controlling his emotion in public. But also to work on your leadership & charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication. ➤ So, in this context, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology: ✓Practical tools to perfect your rhetoric/repartee ✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders ✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of public speaking (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma) to ensure consistency between substance & form ✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing. ✓ Highlighting their speech & promoting their speaking to arouse interest, by building on their strengths. ✓Creation of a coherence between the message emitted & the message received in order to improve its speech and in fact, its professional/personal relations. ✓Management of Q&A sessions & external reactions during an intervention or an oral exchange. ✓Practical tools to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested. ✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation. ✓On the one hand, learning to say 'no' simply in three steps AND on the other hand, getting people to say 'yes'. ✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive. ✓To manage conflicts (eg 'assertive' communication techniques, eg CNV techniques - Non Violent Communication). ✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of communication. ✓To adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language. ✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging. ✓To manage your personal & professional relationships with, for example, the preparation of your ratings. ✓Make your hypersensitivity a strength to tame your abilities. ✓Listening proactively and expressing / conveying ideas / message clearly. ✓ Avoid letting your emotions show through and propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills. ✓Be better equipped to recognize and immediately remedy situations that weaken their authority and affect their ability to communicate effectively. ✓Enhance their potential for expression and creativity (often underestimated until now) and 'apparent' sociability ✓Develop not necessarily self-confidence, but the 'appearance' of self-confidence, refine one's listening to respond adequately, open up to the resources of the imagination, free oneself from the rational to then structure one's speech. ✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression. ✓Learn and put into practice persuasive communication techniques and better understand the perception that others have of oneself.

Clases de español para extranjeros: Speak Spanish Naturally! Native Colombian Teacher with Cultural Insights
Hello! I'm David, a Colombian from Medellín. I am a young professional in literary studies and a Spanish teacher for foreigners. In addition to my degree, I hold a diploma in teaching Spanish and have three years of experience teaching at a school in Medellín, Colombia. In our first class, the goal is to assess your current level and determine the best learning plan for you. Each lesson incorporates three key components: a conversational/oral segment, a grammatical and theoretical section, and a practical application. These three aspects help develop all the necessary skills for mastering a language. Finally, in the practical component, I design activities based on the artistic and cultural expressions of South American countries. I believe it is important to explore the diverse artistic and cultural manifestations of Latin America because they serve as natural, authentic materials that showcase how people express themselves and use the language in different contexts. Often, this usage can differ from the grammatical rules we learn in class, making it a valuable complement to traditional language instruction.

Serbian language classes for foreign people with Maja
Serbian is a rich and expressive language with deep cultural roots. It uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and is phonetic, meaning words are pronounced just as they’re written – a big plus for learners! Here’s why learning Serbian is a great idea: Cultural Access – Understand Serbian literature, music, and film in their original form. Travel and Connection – Connect more deeply with locals when visiting Serbia or the Balkans. Gateway Language – It helps in learning other Slavic languages like Croatian, Bosnian, or Russian. Unique Skill – Fewer people learn Serbian, so it stands out in business, diplomacy, or academia. Serbian isn’t just a language – it’s a doorway to a rich world of tradition, humor, and human connection.
