Learning a Foreign Language

/in /by

Learning another language can be challenging, yet fulfilling and rewarding. This is especially true with the increasing demand for bilinguals in teaching, translating, and interpreting services in this globalized world. In the Philippines alone, multilinguals are much sought after and paid highly by the booming BPO industry. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO advises, “The outlook of the learner will determine how fast he learns a language. One who is moved to learn out of interest for another language, culture, and society will be more receptive. After all, the right disposition expedites language competence. On the other hand, those who pursue it as an academic requirement eventually get inspired to learn it by heart once the initial level of fluency is reached. The key is finding a credible school with native language speakers for teachers.”

TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility accredited with the Civil Service Commission boasts of a pool of language experts, interpreters, and translators. Viesca shares, “The most in demand languages are Spanish, Japanese, French, Norwegian, German, Portuguese, and Arabic. For both group and individual sessions, we have a complete line-up of language offerings from Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels.”
Viesca recommends immersion to expedite the process. “Assisted learning works best. Read textbooks, learn to write, listen actively to audio lessons and language learning apps. And do not be afraid to commit mistakes when speaking in the target language. Learning from mistakes sets one on the way to improvement.”
❝Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.❞-‒Rita Mae Brown

Introverts are Charismatic Communicators

/in /by

Introverts are a misread lot. They are underrated, overlooked, and even misjudged. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO explains, “Since they are introspective and possibly withdrawn, they are easily regarded as weak and passive.  Yet many introverts like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Steven Spielberg, and J.K. Rowling have proven their detractors wrong by exceling in their own fields.  Viesca explains, “Many outgrow the passivity. Indeed, there lies latent energy in the introvert that can be harnessed for charisma that may be summoned with the right drive, knowledge, and passion.”

Viesca explains further, “Also, there is a third personality type – the ambivert which is the cross between introversion and extroversion. This is a balanced blend with a flexible communication pattern of speaking and listening that lends itself well to business. Most people belong to this balanced group, enjoying some traits of introversion with moments of extroversion.”

Whatever your personality type, the right program and motivation will encourage you to be the best version of yourself.  TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified corporate training facility that is accredited with the Civil Service Commission, helps professional make that leap and experience the difference.

How do You Listen?

ID-100245367

Listening is mostly taken for granted. In the course of a busy day, managers and workers talk in a hurry, listen passively, and pore over tasks cursorily to get the work done.

Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO, notes, “The result often backfires with communication buckling down since no one took the time to listen. Listening does require making the effort, not only to hear the words, but to understand, taking into consideration the context.”

A good leader knows that listening is the best way to win over his team. He asks questions to get information, to win their respect, connect and build the relationship.

Viesca sums up, “Show your people that you value them by making time to listen and understand their needs. This practice makes for an inspired, motivated team that will commit to your leadership. ”

TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility accredited with the Civil Service Commission trains professionals and teams on the art of   leading with the heart.

Book lovers revel in the simple pleasures of reading. But there is more to reading than just being updated with the latest from one’s favorite authors and references. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO shares, “While it is good to choose from different genre, fiction and the classics are the best reads because they offer depth.”
She shares the little known benefits of reading good books:
1. Reading sharpens the brain. One gets so engrossed in reading that he invariably becomes part of the story, experiencing scenes as they unfold. This experience activates and develops the brain.
2. Reading teaches psychology. It exposes one to various experiences. One gets immersed and learns from the process. Besides acquiring knowledge, one learns to deal better with life.
3. Reading improves one’s ability to empathize. Learning about various life experiences through reading helps one empathize and thus, enrich relationships.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.” ― Charles William Eliot

TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility that is accredited with the Civil Service Commission trains aspiring and seasoned writers of prose, poetry, and stories.
